Destination Wedding ..

A Destination wedding is great if you want an Intimate Small Wedding. Usually you have no more then 50 Guest.. That includes your Best man And Maid of Honor.. It can Be Expensive and it can be "cheap" (I quote because anything were you travel is not cheap) And Most places, I.E. Bahamas, Hawaii, Mexico, Spain. ETC. Have Packaged deals. Where.. You fly in.. Stay a night.. Wedding is next day or the Day after.. And you stay at your destination for your honeymoon... SO Roughly (Estimate everything is different) You go to the Bahamas, have your wedding.. And stay and Extra 4-5 Days.. And it is all covered in the cost.. Some places have Packaged Deals.. Ive seen some as cheap as 850$ for a 2-8 Person Guest list... and Then $10,000 For up to 50 Guest. But then you have to look at the Package deals.. Some Offer Photographer some dont.. Most offer a Bridal Bouquet and a Groom Boutonniere.. The Best thing to do if you want to do a destination Wedding Is to sit down with a Wedding Planner.. And go over the Different Options you have...


I think a destination wedding is better in the sense that You can have your honeymoon combined with the wedding and you save a little extra money there.. But then also not Everyone Can Go To the places you pick... SO its all about how you plan it.. And Its Ultimately up to You Guys on what you want to do.

You Can Make it Cheaper than a "traditional" Wedding.. But if you go over the top then yeah it would be more expensive...

Can your g/f help a brother out lol...

We want to do a destination wedding so keep the number of people down. We would probably have about 30-40 people there. For us the less is better. Right now the biggest issue that my fiancee is having is putting 100% trust in someone to find the right venue within our price range without seeing anything before hand. She wants to travel there first to see the place which I think is just a waste of money.

Oh yeah i already told her about the situation and she was like perfect! haha! It is a Waste of money.. ill tell you now.. Its never going to look like it does in the pictures.. Its something completely different in real life.. so its a waste of money. .Because your going to pick a venue that looks absolutely gorgeous in pictures (lightings right, Perfect beach, Perfect flowers, ETC.) Which is all staged.. And then you get there and its not EXACTLY how the picture shows it.. And you go and do that 3-4 times.. And look how much money you wasted haha!
