 Destination Wedding Tips
Pre-Destination Wedding Parties
Choosing to Have Your Bachelorette/Bachelor Party at Home
Just because you're having a destination wedding doesn't mean you should neglect the pre-wedding parties. One option is to choose to have your bachelor or bachelorette party in your hometown. That way, people who may not be able to attend your destination wedding can be involved in your wedding celebration. You can throw your party yourself or have your close friends throw these before-wedding festivities together. You might even want to have your “rehearsal dinner” in your home town; it won't be a true rehearsal, but you will be able to get together with family and friends.
Choosing to Have Your Bachelor/Bachelorette Party at Your Destination
A benefit to having the bachelor or bachelorette party at the wedding destination itself is the location - you'll be able to have the party in the exotic locale that you've chosen for your marriage ceremony. DestinationWeddings.com's specialists will be happy to get you into contact with any party planners you may need for these special events.
Inviting Guests to Your Bachelor/Bachelorette Party
Who do I invite to my bachelor or bachelorette party? This answer might depend on where you're holding the party. If you plan to have your pre-wedding celebrations at home, or in your home town, you can invite many more people. It can be a great way to involve those who can't make it to your destination wedding, but who want to celebrate. If you're having your party at the destination location of your wedding, you may want to invite all those who came to see your ceremony (male or female, respective to the party). These guests have traveled a long way, and you wouldn't want to make them feel left out!
Bachelor/Bachelorette Party Themes
Once you've decided on a place to hold your bachelor or bachelorette party, you can decide on the theme or style of your pre-wedding party. If you're having it near your home, chances are you already know of a place where you would like to have the party and you can work in an appropriate theme. If you're planning to have your parties at the wedding destination, you can choose from the types of places you'd find near your home, or something native to your destination area. For instance, if you're getting married on a beach, you might want to have a beach-themed bachelor or bachelorette party. The specialists at DestinationWeddings.com can help you get in contact with a party planner at your destination so you can start making your plans right away!
Bachelor/Bachelorette Party or Rehearsal Dinner at Port
If your wedding will take place on a cruise ship, consider having your pre-wedding parties while the boat docked at the port before leaving for the cruise. This way, friends and family can see you off on board the ship before you go off on your destination wedding and honeymoon. Many cruise ships have restaurants and rooms for occasions such as this - but the party will probably have to take place relatively close to departure. Also, not all cruise lines or ships provide this service, so you'll want to talk to your destination wedding specialist before making any plans for this type of party.
Please Remember:
Destination weddings take considerable planning and research, and the best properties & accommodations often book far in advance of the wedding date.
The earlier you begin planning your wedding, the greater the likelihood you will be able to book the perfect property for you and your guests.
