Who Should Be Invited to a Destination Wedding?

By Alice Nichols

When planning a destination wedding, it’s important to consider who to invite and who not to invite. First, you should decide on an intimate guest list that is manageable for the size of your wedding. Then, you should decide how much flexibility you are willing to give guests in terms of their ability to attend.

The next step is to determine who should be invited. This can be a difficult decision, as there are many people that you may want to invite but cannot due to financial or logistical constraints.

Consider what matters most and which people are closest to you and your partner: family members, close friends, and relatives from both sides of the family. It’s also important not to forget about those who have been there for you throughout the years, such as teachers or members of your church.

Once you have a list of people that you would like to invite, take into account any special considerations they may have in terms of attending the wedding. If they need additional time off work or help with travel arrangements, make sure these details are taken care of before sending out invites. Additionally, consider if any guests may require special accommodations due to disabilities or dietary restrictions.

Financial Considerations

When inviting guests to a destination wedding, it’s important to keep financial considerations in mind as well. While it’s a nice gesture for couples to cover some expenses for their guests—such as airfare or hotel stays—it’s not always feasible for everybody involved. Think about how much each guest will need in order for them to attend and make sure this is something everyone can afford before sending out invites.

Group Accommodation

For larger weddings with multiple households attending, it may be worth looking into group accommodation options such as villas or holiday homes that can accommodate multiple guests at once. This way each guest can pay their own share of the rental cost while still being able enjoy the same space together during their stay at the destination wedding location.

Conclusion: When deciding who should be invited to a destination wedding, couples should keep in mind both logistical and financial considerations when making their guest list decisions. Start off with an intimate group of close family and friends and then consider special requirements each guest may have in order for them to attend the wedding successfully. Lastly, look into group accommodation options if necessary so everyone can enjoy the same space during their stay at the destination location without having too much of a financial burden on anyone involved.
