Do You Have a Bridal Shower for a Destination Wedding?

By Robert Palmer

A destination wedding is a special occasion, and many couples choose to have a bridal shower to celebrate their upcoming nuptials. But with so many details to plan for a destination wedding, should you include a bridal shower in the festivities?

The answer to that question depends on the couple’s preferences. If you’re planning a destination wedding, your first step should be to decide if you want to have a bridal shower or not. Consider your budget, the location of your wedding, and how much time you have leading up to the big day.

One of the most popular options for couples having a destination wedding is to have two showers – one at home and one at the destination. This allows friends and family who can’t make it to the destination wedding still be able to celebrate with you.

Another option is to combine your bridal shower and bachelorette party into one event. This could be done at home or at your destination if you’re having an extended stay there before the wedding. A combined event gives guests the opportunity to celebrate both occasions while also cutting down on costs.

If you’re having an intimate destination wedding – like eloping or having just close family present – then it might not make sense or be feasible for you to have a bridal shower. In this case, consider having an intimate dinner with family members or even just hosting a virtual shower for your closest friends who can’t make it.

Conclusion:

Whether or not you should have a bridal shower for your destination wedding depends entirely on what works best for you and your partner. Consider all of your options before deciding what will be most enjoyable and meaningful for everyone involved.
