Destination Wedding Myths





While a destination wedding might seem laden with challenges for many, there are a few myths that must be de-bunked. 

1. Destination Weddings are Expensive

Contrary to belief, destination weddings can be quite cost-effective. Some destinations offer affordable options, and packages often include various services.

2. Only a limited number of guests could attend

While some guests might find it challenging to attend, others might see it as an exciting opportunity for a vacation, resulting in an unexpected attendance. 

3. A destination Wedding is too complicated to plan

With the right assistance from your destination specialists, local wedding planners and resort packages, planning a destination wedding can be less complicated than organizing a traditional one at home. 

4. You could only get married on the beach

This is absolutely incorrect. Depending on the destination you choose, there are a variety of venue options to choose from, both indoor and outdoor.  Not all destination weddings happen on the beach. Many beautiful locales such as historic cities, scenic country sides and mountains, art galleries and museums, formal gardens and lakesides, all offer diverse settings for weddings.

5. There are too many weather woes

While weather can be unpredictable, careful planning regarding the destination's climate and choosing the right season can mitigate potential issues.

6. Vendor options are limited

Destination weddings often have local vendors familiar with the venue, and they can provide unique and authentic services, adding to the overall experience. There also exist travel vendor who might be able to provide services in the city or country you decide to say "I Do,' this providing a variety of options for you to enjoy. Your wedding planner would often have a selection of professional vendors that would definitely contribute to making your event a memorable one. 

7. Guests would not approve

Don't assume that guests won't enjoy a destination wedding. For many, it becomes a memorable vacation, combining celebration with leisure. They may even county at the family vacation they were planning for that year. Hence, it is courteous to send out Save the Dates or formal invitations as early as possible so that they could slip you into their calendar. 

Remember, the success of a destination wedding often depends on thorough planning and good communication with guests. It is useful to setup a RSVP or have a wedding website with built in RSVP to obtain all guest details and to ensure that they do not miss a communication. You wedding planner would be quite useful in this area. You would find the the FREE RedCarpet Honeymoons Wedding Website would allow you to take control of this in a seamless manner.
