If you will have guests come along to your destination wedding, it&#8217;s important to consider these things:<\/p>\n<p>1.) Where will everyone stay? If you book a block of rooms and everyone\u00a0stays in the same hotel, you will typically get a group discount. It also makes it easier to meet up for group activities, of which you should plan at least one per day you are together.<\/p>\n<p>2.) How will they know the plan? Start a website so you have one place for everyone to go for all your own destination wedding tips, information and itinerary. You can easily build your site on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theknot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Knot<\/a>\u00a0dot\u00a0com.<\/p>\n<p>A consideration for friends and family who cannot travel with you to your destination wedding, live stream your ceremony in real time.<\/p>\n<p><b>Local Marriage Requirements<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In all the excitement of your plans be sure you don&#8217;t forget to research and plan to carry out the local marriage requirements.
