Simple terms of destination weddings

What exactly is a destination wedding? In simple terms, is a wedding away from your hometown, or just the two of you, or with family and friends. It can be as simple or elaborate, inexpensive or luxurious as you want.

Well, so is the tendency of the wedding day, but is easier to plan? Or, are planning a wedding away from home even more difficult than planning one in your own hometown? The answer to that, of course, depends on you, and how luxurious or unique you want your wedding to be. Here are the steps in planning such a fate "I Do".

First step: Who's coming?

Before you can plan your destination wedding, you really have to decide who is invited as the guest list can sometimes reduce their choices of destinations.

Is your wedding going to be for the two of you? Then all the world is your oyster.

Are you going to invite some close friends or family members? If so, you will pay the account of his journey, or travel expenses to be paid by each person? If you can not afford to pay the bill for travel to your wedding, and friends and family members would have a hard time money, then you may want to choose a special place close to home. For example, if you live in Phoenix and want a destination wedding, where relatives and friends can travel, you may want to choose Sedona instead of Hawaii.

There may also be restrictions on time for your guests too. Some people just can not take time off from work to attend your wedding on a tropical island, while they might be able to attend a wedding that is a couple of hours drive away.

Step Two: When is the wedding?

If the two are planning their wedding around the holiday time at work, then it can also dictate where you have your wedding. If your vacation time is the hurricane season, you may want to skip Cancun and opt for the beaches of Southern California instead.

Step Three: Prepare a wedding budget

Opposite him, some places are more traditionally affordable than others. Your heart may be shouting the beaches of Costa Rica, but your budget is screaming Las Vegas. Yes, we all want answering the call of our heart, but your budget should have the last word.

However, do not let that keep you from choosing an ideal destination, a unique wedding. You'd be surprised the number of wonderful destinations, unique wedding that may not fit your budget. B & B throughout the United States, in places as romantic as California, New England, Florida and Virginia, offer inexpensive wedding packages for either of the two or more guests.

When considering your budget, you have to consider travel expenses (flight or driving) as well as expenses related to the wedding. In addition, you should plan the costs of accommodation, meals during their stay and even things you would like to do there.

Step Four: Consider the laws of marriage

Some places in the United States and some countries have a very difficult marriage. You may have to deal with specific requirements before they can actually get married. Before selecting a location to be married, be sure to know what laws there are.

Step Five: Hire a wedding planner or DIY

Once you have narrowed down the location of your wedding, you need to decide if you'll be planning your wedding yourself or whether you need to hire a wedding planner. If you are having a destination wedding bigger, with many relatives and friends attending, you may want to hire a wedding planner to help coordinate everything.

If it's just you two, you may be able to handle the planning yourself. Often you can hire a wedding officiant who has packages available that include selection of a place, performing the ceremony and transport, cake and champagne. Complex, and even the B & B also offers packages that make planning simple extra.

Step Six: Enjoy your honeymoon

Here's the best part of having a destination wedding. The honeymoon starts right after the "I Do".

With destination weddings continues to grow in popularity, and more B & B, resorts and wedding planners offering wedding packages, planning a destination wedding can be as simple as planning a vacation. No more renting a hall, hiring a band, sending invitations to a growing list of people. It's time to take the stress out of planning your wedding and make it fun. A wedding lets you do just that.
