Wedding Planning Blog by I Do! Wedding Favors

Many couples are choosing to forego the traditional nuptials that include a hundred people that they hardly know. Instead, they are choosing a more intimate wedding that also includes a vacation. The bride and groom as well as all of their guests will have the opportunity to enjoy their surroundings for at least a few days before having to return to “normal” life. This is why destination weddings are becoming more popular than ever before.

When most people think about destination weddings, they think about tropical settings and weddings on the beach. This is certainly the most popular in destination weddings, but other couples are choosing destinations that offer different settings and fun things to do. Perhaps skiing is popular with the couple and a destination wedding to Colorado is where they want to get married. Other couples may choose to get married in foreign countries that relate to their heritage. Destination weddings can take place anywhere!

There are a lot of things to consider when planning a destination wedding. The cost is one of the biggest factors. Also, deciding who will be invited might be difficult. Sometimes a very intimate wedding is just not possible without slighting someone important. It is also important to consider whether all of the guests can afford to travel to the destination wedding. Is it right to ask them to pay for their own trip? Consider the costs of a large wedding close to home. A destination wedding may cost much less even when paying for all of your guests to join you.
