At times, engaged couples shy away from destination weddings because they fear that the added travel logistics involved for their wedding guests might be a little too complex, but this doesn’t have to be the case. Couples can make it easier for guests to attend a destination wedding by providing as much travel information as possible, both in the Save-the-Date and the formal wedding invitation.
Depending on the location of your destination wedding, we suggest working with your destination wedding planner to research different travel options for guests. Look at where a majority of your guests are coming from and include flight options from those airports, the costs of hotel rooms, whether or not all-inclusive options are available, and if passports and visas are required. You may be able to negotiate special rates for guests who opt to stay longer and make a vacation out of your wedding day. Here at Fresh LiME Events, we also suggest providing group transportation to and from the airport in your destination. It’s one less thing for guests to worry about.
Be sure to greet guests upon arrival at the hotel with a fabulous Welcome Basket, which should include information on the location, along with the different activities that are available to guests. Your wedding guests will very much appreciate this!
