“What about a destination wedding?” … “How crazy would it be to have a destination wedding?”There’s a ton of advice out there on the web about destination weddings, but ultimately you’ve got to really boil everything down to4 important questions/considerations:1. How big of a wedding do you envision? Generally, it seems that destination weddings/special events are more of an intimate gathering…unless of course money isn’t really the in your “top 3″ priorities. If you’re really expecting 150+ guests for your destination wedding, know that the price tag, stress and details all follow accordingly. Don’t get me wrong – I’m not saying it’s bad to have that many guests! Just keep in mind that you’ve really got to stay focused and keep your guests updated. Advice: While hunting for a destination spot to say “I do easy guitar songs ,” find a place that is not only gorgeous and speaks to you both, but one with a wedding coordinator or matre d’ that you feel comfortable with. Are they giving you more than just 1 way of contacting them? Is your gut telling you something doesn’t seem right? Also, start an email list for your guests. Remind them to have their flights reserved by a certain date, passports are up to date, etc.,and be sure to block out rooms at your venue (if applic) or nearby resorts/hotels. 2. Are most of your guests willing to travel? I know I don’t have to be the one to tell you that money is tight for most people right now. While yes, your wedding/event is extremely important and special, there are going to be people who will have to carefully evaluate that against cash. Advice: Go through your guest list with 2 color pens.
