5 DESTINATION WEDDING TIPS

#1: Speak with a travel agent about accommodations and air. The agent may be able to set you up with the best deals out there, especially if you’re planning on providing accommodations for all your guests and seeking a bulk discount.

#2: Research residency requirements. You can’t always hop on a plane and get a same-day marriage overseas; some places require you to be there for a certain amount of days prior to your vows. Make sure your travel arrangements allow for this waiting period, if necessary.

#3: Research potential registrar notices. Some places require a notice to be sent to the registrar two weeks or more before the wedding date, or require you to meet with the registrar in person before tying the knot.

#4: Consider an at-home celebration after your trip. Naturally you won’t be able to invite a huge amount of guests your to destination, so a party closer to home—whether it be casual or formal—is often a good way to integrate friends and family into your marriage festivities.

#5: Relax and enjoy the scenery. Don’t get so caught up with minute details like napkin shades that you forget to relish in your surroundings!

Lively Ideas for Winter Honeymoons

 

African Safaris: Spend hours observing wildlife and exploring jungles, and then cuddle up with your sweetie inside a luxurious safari lodge. Most regions of Africa are great for winter honeymoons since the days are pleasant and the wildlife never wanders far from water sources. Then compliment your adventure with some R&R in the Seychelles or Mauritius. Consider The Victoria Falls Hotel in Zimbabwe or South Africa’s Royal Malewane or Singita Kruger National Park.
