Adults Only Weddings vs Family Friendly: Pros & Cons

Couples who are planning a destination wedding need to consider the benefits and drawbacks of each wedding style. If you prefer a more formal affair, or you are hoping for a party-like atmosphere at your wedding, then you may want to consider an adult only wedding. On the other hand, if you are hoping for a heartwarming experience that includes as many people as possible, then a family friendly wedding may be right for you.

By having an adults only wedding, you may be able to plan a more affordable event overall. In addition, you can create the atmosphere that you prefer for your wedding, and you will have a wider range of resorts to choose from. However, you will want to consider your guest list closely in order to make sure that people do not feel excluded.

Adults Only Destination Wedding Planning FAQs

Should I invite kids to my destination wedding?
Inviting kids to your destination wedding is a personal choice. It’s important to consider your guest list and what type of vibe you’re looking for at your wedding. You could decide to only include a flower girl and/or ring bearer, but that would still require you to book an all-ages resort as opposed to an adults-only resort. We recommend speaking with your loved ones and your Certified Destination Wedding Specialist to ultimately determine the best fit for you.
How do I tell guests our wedding is adults only?
It’s important to let your guests know if your destination wedding is going to be an adults-only celebration as soon as possible. Giving guests with kids enough notice to secure childcare, etc. is not only considerate, but will help secure your final guest count sooner rather than later. You can choose to either let them know via a personal message (phone call, text, etc.) if you think it may be a touchy subject, or, you can include special wording on your e-save the dates and wedding website.
What are the most romantic all-inclusive resorts for adults?
Our top recommended romantic all-inclusive resorts for adults include Secrets Resorts & Spas, El Dorado Spa Resorts, Le Blanc Spa Resorts, Excellence Resorts and Iberostar Grand Hotels. Here, you’ll most likely find extra romantic amenities including rose petal turndown service, in-room jacuzzis, candlelit beach dinners, couples massage packages and more. Not only are these excellent venues to host an adults-only wedding, they also serve as the perfect honeymoon spot to spend your first days together as newlyweds.
