Plan ahead
The key to planning a successful destination wedding is to plan ahead-far ahead. Although, it has its perks, traveling to another land for wedding does require a lot of advance planning for the couple as well as guests. Consider booking your venue around 18 months before the big day. Also, make sure to send out ‘Save the Date’ cards with airport, hotel and other important information as early as possible so that your guests can plan their annual leave accordingly.

While it’s important to pick a destination that’s romantic and meaningful to your relationship, it’s equally important to zero down on the location that is convenient for your guests. Factors like travel time and likely costs should be taken into consideration as there is no point inviting your loved ones to the blessed event if it’s going to be too expensive or difficult for them to get there.
Weather research
A romantic ceremony on a sandy beach can quickly turn sour when a hurricane shows up unannounced. So, to keep your guests from running for shelter, research thoroughly about weather patterns before booking anything. Also, make sure to purchase travel insurance.
