The Top Destination Wedding Problems, And How to Tackle Them
While destination weddings are extremely popular and fun, they come with their own set of issues and concerns. Here are a few useful tips to help you deal:
Vendors in different locations
When it comes to choosing your wedding vendors, you may decide to hire vendors based in your wedding destination, which can make communication a bit more difficult. Or you can hire wedding vendors near where you currently and pay for their travel, which can be more expensive. You want to make sure you do enough research on this or ask your wedding planner to help you out. Just make sure you don’t try to mix everything up too much because it will get very confusing. Seek professional advice and ask for references to avoid roadblocks.
Traveling with your wedding outfit
If your outfit is rather heavy and it’s impractical to carry it safely with you, this could pose a big problem. Try to choose outfits that you can easily pack and travel with. You must ensure that everything is packed properly to avoid a disastrous situation with your wedding finery. Ask your friends to assist you and get experienced hands to pitch in.
Asking too many guests to attend
Make sure you consider problems like having guests who may not be able to take leave from work or who can’t afford to book flight tickets or bear the expenses. Your younger guests in particular may find it very difficult to take the time off to attend your wedding. You can keep a balance while selecting the guest list and also figure out budget-friendly travel options for everyone to make things easier for everyone.
Not giving your guests enough information
This can get extremely frustrating for you and your guests if you’re not familiar with the location. Make sure there is plenty of information available in advance for your guests to avoid stressful situations. Make sure to highlight all the details such as local traditions, tourist tips, venue details and timings, hotel information, transport costs, specific arrangements and more. Brace yourself for plenty of questions from your curious guests as they try to prepare well in advance and attempt to figure things out at the venue as well.
Not having a wedding website
Take advance of technology and keep a wedding page or site handy for everyone with all the updated information and details for your guests to go through before the big day. There will be plenty of doubts and questions. You want to make it easy for everyone to get access to everything they need. They’ll be able to check for whatever they may want to find out instead of calling you repeatedly with questions.
