Destination Weddings: Something Different

Let’s be honest: weddings are repetitive. Just the same old show with different faces. So why not escape the local country club or community hall and find an alternative?

An all-inclusive destination wedding will make the experience more memorable and enjoyable for the bride and groom, and will provide something different for your wedding-weary friends and relatives.

A destination wedding normally involves the bridal party and guests traveling to a resort outside their home city and staying for a few nights instead of just one. Think of it as a vacation with some vows tossed in.

Best of all, if it’s held at an all-inclusive resort, you can cut your costs while reducing your planning and your stress.

They’re becoming increasingly popular, with their frequency increasing by 400% in the last 10 years, according to a recent industry survey.

CNN.com offers some tips for those planning to tie the knot off-site:

- Send out save-the-date cards and set up a Web site six months in advance. Expect a third to a half of invited guests to attend.

- Try to visit the site in advance.

- Make sure you have a good point person on site.

- Research the resort, agent or coordinator you’re working with to verify qualifications.

- Consider all-inclusive options if cost-cutting is a goal.

This trend is interesting... but pale in comparison to the fact that the Trend Hunter, my good friend Nigel Goodwin, just had his own destination wedding last week. Congrats to Nigel and his beautiful bride!
