If you are newly engaged and are caught up in wedding planning but want to just relax on your big day with your friends and family without having to worry about the right band, or the right type of cuisine, or the right type of venue or décor, here are some things you can do. These tips will help you forget about all your worries and just focus on making the most out of one of the biggest days of your life.
- Hiring a Destination Wedding Planner
If you want to be the most nonchalant bride or groom at your wedding and do not have to worry about any of the logistics, you will have to hire a wedding planner. Hiring one is not something you can negotiate with. Wedding planners are the key to your perfect wedding as they organize everything from hotel bookings, guest flights, and logistics to helping you choose the best bridal cake.
However, ‘destination’ wedding planners are even more important. Since you will be at a new place, and do not know where you can get the best food, decorations, or book the best venues, you will need someone who knows your destination inside out. Someone who knows all the local vendors and is also on good terms with them and can suggest to you the best hidden spots for your wedding shoot.
They can get you the best discounts because of their relationships with the locals, they can help you understand any legal processes of the country or what permits or licenses you may require, and if you are going to a country where the natives speak a different language, wedding planners can serve as your means of communication with them. They can help you get all your ideas about your dream wedding across.
- Choosing an All-Inclusive Venue
An all-inclusive destination wedding only screams one thing: convenience. If you want to have your dream destination wedding without having to worry about where to get the floral arrangements done from, or what music to play, or what you should serve to your guests at the bar, then all-inclusive weddings are the answer for you. In an all-inclusive wedding package, you get most of the things any wedding requires, pre-planned and arranged.
These packages are also budget-friendly because if you opt to get these services individually, it will cost you much more. Of course, having separate services will make them more meaningful, but will come with expense, and the hurdles of looking for services, deciding between them, and ensuring that all of them serve their purpose, and on time. So, if convenience is a priority for you, while staying on budget, go for an all-inclusive option.
- Private Travel
If you want to add a hint of luxury to your wedding, you can book a private jet so that the wedding party can avoid crowded commercial jets and party on their way to the destination. It is also an excellent time saver for families with busy schedules and provides premium comfort. When planning the budget for your wedding, keep private jet rental mind, look for suitable options and make bookings to create an unforgettable experience for your guests
- Personalized Travel Guides for Guests
Destination weddings mean that your guests are taking their time out to come to a new place they have never been to before, only to be there for you on your big day. As a gesture of gratitude, you should design them a guide that has all the A to Z of the wedding. You can advise them on what flights they should book, what types of clothes they should bring, the tourist spots they can visit at the place you are going to, and whether they should keep essentials like sunscreen, etcetera. You can make this guide online on apps.
Also, if you want all your favorite people to make it to your dream wedding, make sure to let your guests know about the wedding dates some months in advance. Since the average planning time for a wedding is 9 to 12 months, let them know at least nine months prior so they can save up and make plans accordingly.
- Plan Activities for Your Loved Ones
Depending on the destination you choose, you can plan many different activities for your guests. After all, you want this wedding to be the wedding none of your loved ones will ever forget. If your wedding is in some coastal regions, you can have a beach day where all your guests get to interact and get to know each other through the blue ocean waves, and while the sun sets most dreamily. You could always have a late-night bonfire or do stargazing or even have a lobster bake.
If you are feeling more adventurous, you can go snorkeling or scuba diving – it all depends on the type of couple you are, and the type of energy you bring! Other activities include a spa day where your guests get a day of divine relaxation, or booking some local cultural activities like dancing, strawberry picking, and wine testing, or going on a cruise, or having a pool party with a DJ and cocktails. It’s all dependent on your style!
Conclusion
No matter what you choose, it is your wedding, and your big day, and you probably will not be having a similar event ever again. So, please make the most of it. Forget about the nitty gritty and the mishaps, as they are part of every event. Do not let it get to you and enjoy yourself to the fullest, till your stomach hurts from laughing and dancing too much, and till your eyes start to close from the exhaustion of partying all night.
