Destination weddings are a beautiful way to celebrate your love with your closest friends and family in a stunning and memorable location. However, planning a destination wedding can also be a lot more expensive than a traditional wedding, and it's important to be clear on who will be responsible for paying for what before you start planning.
In general, the bride and groom are responsible for the majority of the wedding costs, including the venue, food, drinks, music, and photography. However, there are some costs that may be shared with guests, such as transportation and accommodation.
When it comes to transportation, it's usually best to ask guests to cover their own costs. However, if you're having a destination wedding you may want to offer to help guests with transportation to and from the wedding.
Accommodation is another cost that can be shared with guests. If you're having a wedding at a resort, you may be able to work with the resort to offer a block of rooms at a discounted rate for your guests. You can also ask guests to book their own accommodation, but be sure to give them plenty of notice so they can find a place to stay that's within their budget and suggest quality options.
Gifts are always appreciated, but they are never expected. If you want to register for gifts, be sure to include a variety of items at different price points so that guests can feel comfortable choosing something they can afford.
It's important to remember that every destination wedding is different, and the costs will vary depending on the location, the number of guests, and the type of wedding you're planning. Do your research and talk to your guests before you start planning to make sure everyone is on the same page about who will be responsible for paying for what.
