Destination weddings can be a beautiful experience, but they often come with a hefty price tag for your guests. While the couple may dream of a tropical beach or a European getaway, the cost of travel, accommodation, and additional expenses can make it a financial burden for many, The Cut notes. Some guests may even be forced to decline the invitation because of the costs involved.

If you’re set on a destination wedding, consider helping your guests out by offering affordable lodging options, or at least being transparent about costs upfront. Alternatively, think about having a local reception back home to accommodate those who can’t attend the destination event or consider partnering with a travel agency that may give your guests a discount to cut down on costs. Companies like DestinationWeddings.com or Wedaways work solely with couples to make this happen.
