Approximately 40 percent of all brides-to-be are planning destination weddings instead of the traditional church weddings of their mothers and fathers.  These destination weddings are sometimes referred to as a ‘weddingmoon’ because a couple is combining their honeymoon with their wedding.Whether a bride-to-be is planning a castle wedding or a cruise around the Bahamas for her big day, there are a few things she must consider before deciding if a destination wedding is right for you and your soon-to-be groom.

The first thing any bride-to-be must do is set the parameters for a budget.  Some of the all-inclusive cruises offer great values for multiple party guests and the best thing about these cruises is you are not running 101 different places to plan your wedding.  Everything is handled in one place, under one roof so to speak.

Some of the all-inclusive resorts in places like Jamaica will give a free wedding package to a couple who books a certain number of nights for their honeymoon.  The process is like planning a simple vacation in addition to a wedding.

A wedding in Michigan, with all the different gardens surrounding a centuries old castle, offers many possibilities to an engaged couple.  Since Michigan experiences all four seasons, summer, autumn, winter and spring, there is a plethora of beautiful gardens year-round to choose from for perfect outdoor wedding no matter what the weather is like.

Once a budget has been determined, you will need to notify your guests that there will be travel involved with regards to your wedding.  Unlike a traditional wedding where invitations are sent four to six weeks in advance, destination weddings need to have their invitations sent to at least six months in advance to allow guests to search for the best travel packages and hotel accommodations if it is not an all-inclusive destination.

A bride and groom need to be realistic and understand that not everyone can afford to travel for a wedding ceremony.  What a couple could do after the initial destination wedding/honeymoon is host a small party or informal gathering for those people who could not attend the destination wedding in order to allow them to help you celebrate this joyous occasion.
