Package deal luxury - Planning a Destination Wedding allows you can combine your wedding and honeymoon together in a complete package and enjoy some fantastic fringe benefits like an on-site wedding coordinator and planner--extras that cost you considerably more if you elect to marry traditionally. Also, you and your fiancé can plan and implement the wedding that you desire by following the destination wedding path that includes your ceremony and wedding vows and bypasses the old-fashioned wedding official. Planning a destination wedding allows you to let your imagination take you on a journey and create a real-life fantasy that you and your fiancé will remember fondly for the rest of your lives.

Inviting many guests - you and your fiancé can avoid any awkward invites like your long-lost cousin John and his 15 children and your fiancé's aunt Mary and her 12 cats when you have a destination wedding because you can choose to invite only those friends and family closest to you to share in your magical moment. Traditionally speaking, often family and friends put pressure on the bride and groom to invite anyone and everyone they know--from friends at the office to your boss and your fiancé's great aunt Mary. It is often not that you do not want these people to share in your enjoyment, but it is because you hardly know them and they are costing you a fortune. A destination wedding gives you the best of both worlds. Because you are marrying out of the country, you can avoid inviting your long-lost cousin and his 15 children along with your boss, and, instead, only invite those who are nearest and dearest to you. Then, when you return from your honeymoon, you can host a fabulous themed barbecue or dinner party to celebrate your wedding with all those individuals you are acquainted with or those who were unable to attend your wedding. This way, everyone feels a part of the momentous occasion and you minimize your costs without compromise and maintain that fabulous smile that you acquired when you first started planning a destination wedding.

More affordable wedding and reception costs - the cost of your wedding is reduced because your guests are paying for their travel and accommodation expenses and the number of people attending your wedding is smaller, meaning that your reception is more cost-effective. Plus, when you are planning a destination wedding, you will often find that costs at an exotic overseas resort are more affordable than a seated reception at your local country club where the ambiance often goes hand-in-hand with a blowling alley. Therefore, in terms of destination wedding etiquette, you and your fiancé pay for your wedding and a themed reception, if desired. Your own accommodation and travel as well as any events that you wish to enjoy while on your honeymoon are also your responsibility unless you have a wedding registry where your guest can elect to pay for events in lieu of a wedding gift.

Fantastic experience for all - with a destination wedding, you and your fiancé are able to provide your guests with an opportunity to visit, enjoy, and relax in a tranquil and fun-filled environment while they celebrate your wedding with you. Often, wedding guests travel hundreds, if not thousands, of miles to share your special occasion with you even if it is held locally. Thus, with a destination wedding, these guests may travel the same distance, but the rewards are far greater. They, too, will develop the same smile that you do because they are able to travel to a destination that is absolutely gorgeous and have a vacation of their own. This makes your wedding that much more significant in everyone's lives and a valuable and satisfying time for you, your fiancé, and your guests.
