Destination Weddings – The Cost

There are many advantages to destination weddings. I was just talking to a friend that lives in Texas. She got married in Costa Rica. She said she was looking first in Dallas to find a reasonable place to rent for the reception. Once she added catering, table rentals, etc. (you know the drill), the cost was way outside her budget. Then she priced it in Costa Rica. For the flowers, food, table and chair rentals, chair covers, wine (limited to 2 glasses per guest), she only spent $1700! I was blown away by that number. My flowers alone were half that. Keep in mind, that doesn’t include her gown.

Obviously, there are many things to take into consideration before planning a destination wedding. Sometimes they can get very expensive. Here is a helpful link for some reminders before deciding if a destination wedding is for you. http://www.destinationweddings.com/#news

Honeymoon Registry

Are you at the stage of registering? Many new couples already have the household items that are traditionally registered for. You can hope for cash and checks, especially if you need extra money for the honeymoon. A new thing that is catching on is to register for your honeymoon. You can register for things that you’ll be doing on your honeymoon like a nice romantic meal. Or perhaps it is for the helicopter tour that you are hoping to afford. Simply register for your honeymoon, add these types of things, and spread the word. It is politer than asking for money. It lets your friends and family choose what they want to pay for. They feel involved. Imagine showing them some amazing pictures you took from your helicopter tour that they paid for. They’ll feel so special!

There are many websites available to register your honeymoon. Try googling “register for honeymoon”. Google comes up with 4,980,000 search results so you’ll have plenty to look into.

Have fun planning your honeymoon!
