When planning a destination wedding, it's important not to neglect your guests since they have traveled some ways to celebrate the union of you and your soon to be husband.
~Upon the arrival of guests to the destination location, look into local activities and attractions they might enjoy during their stay.
~Pick a central location of your wedding and reception and reserve multiple rooms in the same hotel so all the guests are staying together. Also if you have single guests, arrange for them to share a room with other singles. This allows them to feel more comfortable coming alone to the event and even ensures a larger turnout for the wedding.
~ Set up a group event of some kind, bring everyone together for a picnic in the park or casual pool party, where you cover the expenses. This can also be a rehearsal dinner.
~It's a good idea to put together a welcome basket for all the guests, and arrange for it to be left in their rooms so when they arrive they have a warm welcome as well as know what it expect over the following days.
~Some things to include in the basket:
- The itinerary of the planned events
- A listing of local activities and attractions as well as contact numbers and locations
- Directions to the location of the ceremony and reception area so they are able to drop by before the event
- A message from you and your fiance welcoming them, and thanking them for coming, as well as formally inviting them to the group event
Weddings are once in a lifetime events that are most important when shared with the people closest to you, so take extra strides to make them feel important as well
