We’re big proponents of picking a wedding resort based on the ages and interests of your guests. It’s a particularly important piece of advice for couples traveling with families, whether it’s their own extended clan or good friend bringing kids to the wedding. As most of us can attest to firsthand, the average 3 year old has the attention span of, say, roughly three minutes, so finding a property with no shortage of fun is key to ensuring everyone’s sanity.
But hey, we think you should be having a ball, too! That’s why we’re rounding up some of our favorite family-friendly resorts that not only cater to kids, but make sure you’re relaxing and letting loose right along with them.
