Ending Your Destination Wedding on a High Note















The party is over!

It was everything you ever could have imagined and its time for some of your guests to go home...



Here are a few easy and thoughtful tips for you to consider...

Arrange an informal brunch.

If you've been celebrating at an all  Inclusive resort it will be FREE!

Just ask us How










This will give everybody a chance to meet up one last time.

Share their memories and pictures before heading out.

Who knows, you may decide to plan to come back next year.??


If flights are early in the morning, or you're just not "early birds", you might want to consider sending room service.

At an all inclusive this just might be included in the rate with absolutely NO additional charge to you, but OH how thoughtful!!.



Traveling today is not as glamorous as it once was.

A nice touch is to have a boxed meal prepared for all those taking a flight.

Nothing fancy, a sandwich, chips and a soft drink.










Finally, make sure everybodys ride back to the airport has been confirmed.
All you have to do is ask the hotel concierge for their assistance if your destination wedding specialist hasn't offered this service..

It's all these little details that will make a big difference.

Surely, you don't want anybody leaving on a sour note or an empty stomach.

Personalize Your Destination Wedding






You've finally chosen a location for Your Destination Wedding. You've researched it inside out! Google even knows exactly what you're looking for the second you type the very first letter ino the search bar!


Your guests might not be as familiar with the selected location. It's always nice to include as much information as you can when sending out Save the Date, on your wedding website, and again with your invitations.

Preparing them for this special occasion with maps, points of interest, even the exact location of the closest spa is always a nice touch. Personalize them and try to keep your color scheme (if you have one) going.



It will also help build the anticipation and keep the conversation flowing. Make sure to update them with more details as you get closer to your departure. You can send out a detailed map of the property indicating the exact spot the ceremony will be held.


It's an inexpensive way to make everybody feel your excitement. They also make for great keepsakes.


Keep in mind when forwarding these tips to reflect the formaility (or informality) of your affair.


Your Destination Wedding Planner will have loads of ideas and will be happy to assist.

Destination Wedding Attire











You're getting ready to send out your Destination Wedding invitations or e-invites.


                                                             


                                                                  So exciting!








One BIG question...have you decided what the dress code you'd like to have?

This information should be very clearly indicated.

It will provide clarity for your guests as well as save you time in answering the same question "what are we supposed to wear?"


Here are a few examples of Destination Wedding dress codes:

Beach Chic, would suggest relaxed attire, such as a sundress.
A fun laid back look and comfortable!!





















Beach Formal, if you want your guests a little more dressed up.


















If you're planning a formal ceremony, then go with Black Tie Optional.



Don't forget the Groom's Party too!
Have fun and have them looking sexy too!!






                                                               







Be very careful with the wording "Beach Casual" if you don't want to see your guests in their best shorts!




As always, a dedicated Destination Wedding Travel Planner will help you navigate through the wording with ease.

Destination Wedding Welcome Gifts











It's always nice to receive a gift, especially if you're attending a Destination Wedding. As the host remember that these people have spent money and taken the time to be a part of your special celebration.

Here are few suggestions for goodies which won't break the bank.



Sunscreen is always at the top of my list. Often a forgotten at home and something you can never have too much of. No need to buy the jumbo size either.

Great for a beach or ski destination wedding.

Flip flops which you may chose to have personalized either with "Bride and Groom", names of the bride and groom, or simply the date.









A tote bag to place all the goodies inside. This tote can serve many purposes. A laundry bag, beach bag and will be used long after the vacation has ended. This too can be personalized.

Since it's challenging these days to travel with lots of liquids, why not print up labels with the bride and groom's names as well as your wedding date and if there's space the location. Simply stick these labels on to a bottle of water.


One of my favorites of all, is a handwritten Thank You note. These notes may be given to the resort staff who will gladly place them on your guests' pillows when they do the turn down service at night. You can have this done the first or last night of your trip. A few words go a long way.

Your Destination Wedding Planner will be happy to assist with more great ideas.

The possibilities are endless. And, always remember ~ it's the thought that counts!

Destination Weddings at Sea




Many of the major cruise lines offer weddings onboard. But, if you think any Captain can marry you, think again!!

Captains must be legal officiants, onboard a ship which permits legal marriages.








If you want your guests to be part of your special celebration, they must also be sailing with you. An alternative would be to plan your wedding in a port which is on your itinerary. This choice might be slightly risky, because all itineraries are subject to change at any time and sometimes the water is simply too rough to dock in a particular port.


A variety of wedding and vow renewal packages are available for a wide price range. For instance, your ceremony can be broadcast live via webcam for those who may not be able to attend. Your Destination Wedding Planner will be happy to help you choose a package best suited for your needs.


Nautical Nuptials are becoming very popular. For more info please don't hesitate to contact us.

Tips on Saving $ on Your Honeymoon or Destination Wedding





Planning a wedding can be very overwhelming and expensive. On top of that you'll have a new home to move into and all that goes with it.



This may leave you with limited funds to plan a Honeymoon or Destination Wedding.






Here are a few ideas for you:



A Honeymoon Registry will allow your guests to contribute to either a Destination Wedding or Honeymoon.



Traveling during the "off season" is another great alternative. I bet you also didn't know that traveling mid week as opposed to the week ends could save you as well.



Always consult with a Destination Wedding Specialist or Travel Consultant who specializes in this type of travel for the best tips.



My personal favorite is the All Inclusive choice. No hidden costs, everything included and once you've paid for your trip, you're done!






Bon Voyage!

Honeymoon Registry








Do you really need another toaster or blender?

Handwritten Notes and their Importance



In todays world of technology there is still nothing like receiving a hand written note.



Thank You notes in particular, are a perfect example of expressing your sincere appreciation for a gift and the time your guests have taken out of their busy schedules to celebrate your Destination Wedding.

If you choose to work with a Design Studio specializing in personalized notes, you'll find many of them will also provide you with custom invitations, save the dates, thank you notes, and even favors.





Dealing with these professionals will save you lots of time and ensure that your stationery is one of a kind.


Remember, it's all in the details! You want to keep your guests, friends and family talking long after the dancing has ended!

What a Destination Wedding Planner can do for You





If you're planning a Destination Wedding then I'm sure you know by now there are many components to planning.

Just choosing a location can be time consuming.





Your Destination Wedding Planner will serve as your personal travel concierge planning just about everything from A - Z.


Your budget will be respected. The best possible rates will be negotiated as well as complimentary trips, when applicable.


We'll advise you on Destination Wedding etiquette and take care of all your guests' bookings.


While generally easier to plan than a traditional wedding, this is a lengthly process.



Dealing with a Virtuoso Agent is a definite plus for you!

The Importance of Good Luggage






The importance of good luggage cannot be stressed enough. It should last you for many years and lots of trips.

Take the plunge and INVEST in three great pieces.



A great garment bag with as many zipper compartments as possible is a definite MUST. If you're taking a quick week end get away, you may be able to get away with this piece alone.








Try to pick pieces that will stand out. They are much easier to identify in that sea of black suitcases! If you already have dark colored luggage, simply tie a bright color ribbon or wool on the handles.

A full size piece, preferably on wheel is an absolute necessity.

Finally, my personal favorite ~ the carry on. Be sure it meets the FAA regulations on measurements. Nothing worse than having to pay for excess luggage or having to check it, at the last minute.

Another tip, is to always put a change of clothes in your carry on. Arriving at a tropical island and having nothing to wear other than the heavy sweater and jeggings you traveled in is no fun.

Weddingmoon












A "Weddingmoon" is a noun which means a trip which includes both a wedding ceremony and a honeymoon.


I bet you also didn't know that SANDALS RESORTS have a registered trademark on this word.


Here are some advantages to planning a Weddingmoon -




You can enjoy quality time with your family and closest friends in the days leading up to your wedding away from home. Skiing, scuba, hiking to mention a few.


Once your guests go home, you can celebrate your honeymoon with your sweetie and the best part is, you'll already be at destination.




You may even chose to move to another resort.



This can become "your place" where you celebrate special anniversaries, family reunions, or holidays in the years to come. A foundation to build you memories that will last a lifetime.



Always remember it's best to book your travel with a Destination Wedding Planner/Specialist. You may qualify for group rates, complimentary rooms, even upgraded airline seats.



Discussing your personal style with a Travel Consultant will open many avenues you never imagined.

Things You Never Tought Of!

What activities does the resort offer for my 6 year old?



Can I use my blow dryer without an adapter?

Babymoon!!















You're pregnant!! Congrats!!









You may think there's NO WAY you can travel in this condition, but nothing could be further from the truth!



Now, would be the perfect time to plan a Babymoon. During your second trimester would be the best time to travel.







Babymoons are great for a variety of reasons. Most important, it will give you a break from planning the nursery and thinking of baby names, plus give you both some "alone" time. Something you may not have for a few years to come.









Keep it simple!



Direct flights, short train or car rides are always best. Locate hospitals and medical facilities before you go.



Due to the popularity of Babymoons, there are many properties which cater especially to those expecting. Your Destination Wedding Specialist will be able to assist with the best choices to fit your needs.



Wheter you choose a B & B or a 5 star hotel, these hotels are waiting for you!
