Planning Tips For Destination Weddings Mexico

By Ann Snyder


In the past, large weddings and receptions were the norm. Couples would often invite large extended families and their friends as well. This often resulted in large, impersonal celebrations. An increasing number of couples are starting to want intimate celebrations instead. Destination weddings Mexico can be very intimate and joyous events. If this kind of wedding appeals to you here are some tips that you can use to create an intimate and memorable event.

Planning anything when you are not right there can be stressful. If you are working with a spot in Mexico and you live in an area such as Alberta, Canada you may find that a quick trip down to your chosen location may help you choose various options and ensure that everything is on board and arranged properly. The peace of mind may help offset the increased cost of your event.

If you want to make planning much easier you may want to consider having your ceremony and reception at one of the local resorts. All inclusive resorts can be great for your guests since they can enjoy a vacation as well as be part of your special day. A resort will often be able to provide everything you need from a ceremony site to flowers and decorations. They often are able to provide a lovely meal as well for your reception dinner.

Keep in mind that you will need to limit your guest list. You also need to remember that there may be some guests that will be unable to attend due to the cost of travel and accommodations. If you want to keep costs at a more reasonable level you may want to look at planning your celebration outside of the tourist high season. It will often cost less to travel and stay if you choose an off-season date to be wed.

The clothes that you wear may be very different than if you were marrying at home. You may want to look at dresses that are made of light, flowing fabric. These will usually look better on a beach and be more comfortable to wear in hot weather. They may also be able to be packed easier and may not take up as much room in your suitcase as a large gown would. Attendants will often look more appropriate if they wear more tropical fabric and colors.

A planner or consultant is definitely an asset when you are planning a destination wedding. You may want to use someone who is employed by the resort if that is your location. You may find it more affordable and achieve more reliable results if you work with the florists, caterers and other service providers that normally provide services to the resort as well. There may be surcharges you will need to factor in if you use your own service providers.

You can also use favors and gift baskets in order to make your guests feel welcome and appreciated. Keep in mind though that if you are going to be bringing items with you that you will want to make sure that they are compact and durable enough to travel well. Toiletry baskets and other items of that nature can make your guests feel as though you have taken their needs and comfort into account when they arrive.

One way to continue with the intimate feel you are trying to achieve is to plan some group activities. These can include visits to meaningful sites for you and your future spouse, group activities such as snorkeling or horseback riding trips or other group activities. You may also want to give your guests some down time as well so that they can enjoy their vacation and be just as relaxed and refreshed as you are.
