Planning a destination wedding
February 25, 2007

• Send “Save the Date” announcements to your guests as early as possible, since they’ll need to clear several days on their calendars and perhaps plan ahead for the expense. Try for at least six months in advance.
• Carefully research the marriage laws in your destination country. On some islands, such as Tortola, you need to reside there just three days before being granted a marriage license. Elsewhere, the waiting period may be much longer. It may be necessary — or at least easier — to marry in the United States at your local city hall before the trip.
• If you’re renting a private home, make sure the owners have the proper insurance for a large event.
• Decide whether you’ll pay any part of guests’ accommodations or transportation. Many experts say there is no obligation to help guests with expenses, but some suggest paying for the bridal party’s accomodations.
• Consider planning a small party for the night most guests will be arriving, perhaps combining it with the rehearsal dinner. If your event is at a resort, tell guests what’s available and perhaps offer to pay for some amenities.
