Don't get so caught up in the planning that you forget to enjoy yourself. A destination wedding is a wedding that takes place in a location that is not home to either the bride or the groom or their families.
It has become commonplace for the couple to reserve a block of rooms at a hotel that is near the wedding location for their out of town guests. Nightclub hopping is one of the most popular bachelorette party ideas. Still another popular option for this traditional version of a best man's toast is to regale the guests with a slew of stories from the groom's wilder days.
Careful check of the wedding planner's references can also shed some light on their abilities. They typically travel in the carriage without the accompaniment of any of the members of the wedding party so it is a quiet time for the couple to relax together before the excitement of the reception. Doing as many things as you can on your own is another way to ensure that you are sticking to your budget.
Although a destination wedding may sound perfect, it is important to realize that there are a few downsides to hosting a destination wedding. Some of the gifts that a groom may choose to bestow on his bride include jewelry, gift certificates for spa treatments, reservations for a romantic getaway and coupons for nights where the groom promises to take care of the cooking for the night.
