Private destination wedding with reception “for friends and family at home”?

March 31st, 2010 by admin | 8 Comments | Filed in Destination Wedding

Some couples are choosing to have a private destination wedding, meaning it is only the bride and groom. No guests invited. They go somewhere, get married, and the honeymoon is built right in. Then, when they return home they hold a reception with family and friends. So what do you think of this?

Do you like this? Why or why not?

Destination wedding or have it hear at home?

March 17th, 2010 by admin | 10 Comments | Filed in Destination Wedding

I am debating between doing a destination wedding which will cost us all of 5 grand for stay and the wedding. It will save us tons of money but alot of or family and friends will not be able to make it.

Or

To try and do a wedding at home and have everyone there but I will not be able to have the wedding that I would really want. And we will be spending much more and I do not want to start our new life in debt.

I want a wedding we always remember but I am stuck between the two.

Say “Yes” To A Destination Wedding Close To Home

March 13th, 2010 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Destination Wedding

In the midst of the vast  interest in destination weddings throughout the past ten years, you may be feeling a bit left out.  It could be you can’t afford to take that much time off from your job, or it may be you plainly can’t come up with the finances to jet off to a exotic tropical paradise or a mountain retreat located in the middle of natural magnificent surroundings.

Fortunately, you don’t really need to throw away a fortune to a enjoy a  superb destination wedding. Merely make your wedding event a local destination theme wedding instead of a long-distance event. Here are several thoughts on how you can create a local destination theme wedding.

Start looking for your destination wedding venue as close by as you can — in your own city. Do you have a famous state park or  historic Church in your hometown? How about  an old-fashioned little bed-and-breakfast inn tucked away in a tranquil spot? Every one of these locations can serve as a perfect venue for a destination style wedding party.

Stress the locale you elect. For example, if you choose to hold your wedding party at a local bed-and-breakfast, choose a theme that goes well with it. Is it a Victorian inn? Have a Victorian theme garden wedding party. Does it border a seaside? A beach theme wedding would be perfectly suited.

Pardon? You are living in an vast metropolis and  an old-fashioned bed-and-breakfast just doesn’t exist? All right. Host a fashionable skyscraper theme wedding event, complete with rooftop dancing and gleaming party favors!

If you can’t locate something remarkable in your own town, broaden the boundaries of your hunt to your entire state. The majority of states possess  historic landmarks and state parks which might be good for staging destination theme wedding parties. Too, you’ll without doubt unearth plenty of vineyards, botanical gardens, museums and other locales which could function as magnificent places for your wedding party.

One idea that effortlessly presents itself for a destination theme wedding is a tropical island style wedding.  You would be able to pull off such a wedding at a botanical garden or, maybe, a university arboretum, where tropical flowers are grown. 

An additional venue to consider for a destination theme wedding is an amusement park.  For example, should you reside in Orange County, California, you could carry out your “destination wedding” at the Independence Hall replica at Knott’s Berry Farm.

When you find your site, you may  need to do some long-distance scheduling. Begin by chatting with the folks where you have chosen to carry out your destination wedding affair, as they might be able to give you referrals for florists, caterers and photographers.

Also, get loads of pictures while you’re there; thus , you won’t need to try and remember the color schemes and physical layout of the place as you are working out the wedding decor.

Furnish your guests ample notice so they will be able to go to your affair. Send out your invitations early, and even think about hiring a bus to get all of your guests to the affair.

As a final point, have fun. Any wedding can abruptly become a nerve-racking production if you don’t relax and have fun throughout the process.  This is especially true if you yearn to hold your wedding in a country different than your own.  The paperwork and red tape can be quite a headache.  So, having your destination theme wedding on your home soil can make for an affair that sticks out clearly from the pack whilst reducing legality and paperwork burdens.

Bridal Shower Etiquette for Destination, Private Wedding and Home Reception?

March 11th, 2010 by admin | 7 Comments | Filed in Destination Wedding

My sister is getting married in a small, private destination wedding ceremony this October and only about 10 guests are invited to the actual ceremony. When she returns to her hometown, she is planning a large cocktail party or reception for family and friends.

What is the proper etiquette for throwing her a bridal shower? Should we have one? Who should be invited? Should she register?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Thinking about throwing a reception after our destination wedding. What is customary for these? Food? Does the bride wear wedding dress to this? Cake?

Is it tacky to register for gifts if we have a destination wedding followed by a bigger reception at home?

February 18th, 2010 by admin | 7 Comments | Filed in Destination Wedding

My fiance and I want to have a small destination wedding including our closest friends and family (18 or so people including children). Once we return home from the honeymoon, which should last no longer than a week, have a reception. I want to invite everyone we know and love to the reception. Is it tacky or weird to register for gifts since we are still having a reception at home???
Thanks for the opinions!
