3 Etiquette Tips For Destination Weddings

1.  Forewarn Your Friends.  Tell your bridal party about the destination before you ask them to stand as one of your attendants, so they can gracefully decline if finances are tight.  Make the trip easier on them my offering to help cover expenses or letting them choose their own dresses.

2.  Get A Grip.  Don't be upsat if some of your closest friends and family can't attend.  Consider holding a second, smaller reception closer to home for anyone who can't make the trip.

3.  Welcome Your Guests.  Be sure to place gift baskets in each hotel room full of essentials for the trip (sunscreen, bug spray, water) and treats that will remind them of the setting.  Postcards and local snacks are good options, as are directions to your favorite local restaurants, maps and a few takeout menus.
