Destination Wedding Ideas
An increasingly popular choice among couples is to travel to a
quaint little town in the United States, or somewhere exotic
abroad. Most 'destination weddings' are considered 'hot
spots' for tourists. Say, a dream-vacation place. And what
better place could you choose to exchange your wedding vows?
First and foremost, you have to decide whether you want a large
wedding or a discreet elopement. Now ask yourself-is this
destination wedding in your budget? Although it's a once in a
lifetime opportunity, you have to ask if a destination wedding
is right for you.
Who Chooses a Destination Wedding?
There are many couples who choose destination weddings for
several different reasons. Perhaps they want to share this
specific destination with their friends and families. Maybe it's
a place that both people have always wanted to visit together.
If the couple has been together for a long time, a destination
wedding might serve as a well-needed vacation and a perfect
place to pop the question.
What are the Best Locations for a Destination Wedding?
When deciding where to go for your destination wedding, one word
comes to mind: fun. You want to be sure that there are plenty of
exciting things to do. Great restaurants, nature, and hobbies
that you both enjoy, will keep you busy for days. You need to
decide whether you want to explore an exotic location outside of
the United States , or a fun tourist attraction within the
United States.
Some exciting locations within the United States are:
Las Vegas New York Disneyland
California wine country areas (Sonoma and Napa)
Hawaii
Should you decide to venture outside of the United States, the
following are some of the hottest dream- vacation places for a
destination wedding:
Mexico Caribbean Italy
Germany France
If you've already 'shopped around' for a destination wedding and
you were overwhelmed with the prices-start looking during the
off-seasons, as you'll save a considerable amount. In addition,
look for packages that are all inclusive: hotel accommodations,
meals, sports, tours, etc. It's always a good idea to use your
credit card which insures your purchases.
Most importantly, if you are getting married in a foreign
country, educate yourself on their rules and customs before
going abroad. What documents will you need? Is their a blood
test required? What's the legal age of consent to marry? These
are all important questions you should research before jumping
on an airplane or cruise-ship with your spouse-to-be.
