Help Guests Save Money on your Destination Wedding

For any bride, planning a wedding can be a stressful, and expensive experience. One thing a bride should keep in mind is the guest experience. If you decide to have a destination wedding, you should first make sure to inform your guest as early as possible. This is when you send out your save the date. Try to send out the save the date 4-6 months before the wedding.

By giving your guests plenty of time to plan, they can save money on their travel plans. Your guests will be able to book a flight early and save money on their plane tickets. One tip you can share with your guest is to search for plane tickets on Tuesday mornings, which is the cheapest day of the week to purchase tickets (check it out, its true).

As a guest, there are things you can do to save money while celebrating your friends big day. When you receive the save the date, there are a few things you should do. First, look for deals at the wedding hotel. Also, talk to other invited guests and see if they would like to split a room for the weekend. When it comes to traveling at the destination, try to coordinate with other guests. See if any friends are arriving at the airport at the same time as you. This way you can split the costs of a cab ride or car rental.

The most important part of your wedding day, is celebrating with your loved ones. Follow the tips above to make you big day easy on your guests. If you have any tips, please share them with us in the comment section below. Good luck with your wedding planning!

Olivia and Benjamin shared with us their gorgeous engagement photos.  We love this adorable couple. Creatrix Photography took these photos on the island of Oahu, in Waikiki. They were engaged on March 5th. Wakiki is a known for its iconic beaches, and has so much more to offer its visitors. It is a great place to go shopping, eat at local restaurants, and you can even visit the Waikiki Aquarium!

We love the bride to be’s outfit for the engagement shoot. The dress is perfect for the warm Hawaiian weather.  Her hair with beachy waves is stunning, while the Leis add a great Hawaiian touch to the shoot. Congratulations Olivia and Benjamin. Good luck with your wedding planning!

Lilna and Rob’s wedding has become one of our new favorites, and was shared to us by Stina Kase Photography. The happy couple had a seaside wedding in September. We love this outdoor, rustic, destination wedding. Lilna’s ruffled wedding dress, with the purple slash went perfectly with the couple’s purple theme. It is great to see a bride add a splash of color on her big day. The groom looked handsome in his blue, nontraditional suit.

Linla and Rob were daring to ride bikes after their picture perfect wedding. The intimate photos in the field were also great photo moment for the couple. Make sure to share with us your favorite part of the wedding in the comment section below.  Lilna and Rob, best wishes to you both and congratulations on a beautiful wedding.
