10 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Planned A Destination Wedding - Page 10
10. Consider Your Guests’ Presence Their Presents
Although a destination wedding can cut costs for the bride and groom, it also means you’ll receive fewer gifts since you’re requiring your guests to travel out of the country for your big day. When you think of a destination wedding and gifts, consider your guests’ presence as their gift. We received a significant amount of gifts, but our guests’ energy throughout the weekend left an irreplaceable memory of the celebrations.
Although I didn’t know these 10 things before committing to my destination wedding, I was aware in advance that my wedding would cost significantly less internationally compared to in the United States. Having my wedding in Mexico, I was able to get all the glitz, flair, and luxury I desired within my budget, along with several entertainment aspects.

To my upcoming brides, consider where you want to have a destination wedding, and then, go for it. If you want to stretch your money, give your guests an amazing vacation, and have a pre-wedding vacay and post-nuptial honeymoon all in one, then this sounds like the right move for you and your boo!
