Invitations for Destination Weddings
Planning a destination wedding is tougher in a lot of ways than planning a traditional
hometown wedding. You will need to do much research to find just the right romantic
destination for the two of you to say your vows. You will also need to do research that will
enable your guests to be fully prepared if they decide to attend.
Save the Date Cards
Traditionally wedding invitations are sent out 4-6 weeks before the date. This can be a
problem if you are having a destination wedding. Guests will be hard pressed to make
arrangements to travel on such short notice so sending save the date cards in advance of
the wedding invitation is a good idea. If you don’t want to use save the date cards, you might
send out your invitation earlier or you can send a letter or an email to feel out prospective
wedding guests.
What to Include in a Destination Wedding Invitation
To keep things running smoothly, you will need to send an information packet to your guests
that are planning on attending your destination wedding. Include such information as
activities and tours they may want to take, maps of the area, all resort and hotel information
and the number of the travel agent who is in charge of the group’s travel plans. If you don’t
have a travel agent, then give them links to the information they will need to know in order to
begin to plan their arrangements.
What Type of Invitations Should We Send?
Some resorts are renowned for their destination wedding packages and often come with the
option of wedding invitations when you book at their establishment. If their invitations don’t
please you, don’t hesitate to research the perfect invitation that will perfectly complement the
area to which you are traveling. You can find many fine selections online or at a wedding
boutique. You can choose wedding invitations that feature tropical sunsets if you are being
married in that type of venue or you can choose wedding invitations that reflect you and your
intended’s unique personality.
Having a destination wedding can be one of the greatest experiences you will ever have.
Having your dear friends and family with you at a beautiful and exotic location will add more
to your wedding day than you could have ever imagined. It will be a time that will be talked
about for years and years to come.
