Luxury Destination Wedding Etiquette
Although the setting is different for a luxury villa wedding compared to a traditional at-home wedding ceremony there are still proper etiquette rules that should be followed by everyone involved. Destination wedding etiquette differs from conventional wedding etiquette because of the unique situations that couples and guests find themselves in. If you are planning a luxury villa wedding or any other type of destination marriage below are tips for proper etiquette and manners.
Who is Invited?
Couples who choose to hold villa weddings in other countries often find themselves wondering just who they are supposed to invite. No couple wants to deal with the hurt feelings of a great-aunt or second cousin that they haven’t spoken to in years but who expects to be invited to the marriage ceremony. When a couple is deciding who to invite they should remember that nobody should assume they will be invited, and if they want to keep their guest list small there will inevitably be some people who will feel hurt to not be invited. However, most people will understand, and the guests who are invited will know how much they mean to the couple.
What Does the Couple Pay For?
No matter where a wedding is taking place, money is always one of the trickier aspects to have to handle. However, Best Destination Weddings are pretty simple. The couple is always expected to pay for the ceremony and reception, including food, music, drinks, and decorations. Guests are expected to pay for their own travel and lodging, plus any other events they want to take advantage of on their vacation.
Do Guests Bring Gifts?
Most guests will likely bring monetary gifts, since packing a physical gift could prove to be difficult, but it’s also polite for the couple to let guests know that they don’t expect gifts. Since a guest will be spending money to travel and be there for the celebration most couples should understand that if they get any gift at all it will be more of a small token than the large gift they might receive if they were having the wedding close to home.
When Should Save-the-Date and Invitation Be Sent Out?
Couples should begin letting their guests know the dates when the wedding will be taking place along with all pertinent information such as location and accommodations as soon as possible. This allows their guests to begin planning their vacation time as well as start saving money ahead of time.
