These are the Most Important Details to Include in Your Destination Wedding Invite


Assisting guests in attending your destination wedding is important to ensure they have a smooth, stress free and enjoyable experience. And to do this, you must include every detail you can possibly think of! After all, this location may be foreign to many of your guests and the first time attending a destination wedding for many.

When creating destination wedding invitations, consider including the following information to help your guests plan their trip.

Save-the-Date

Send out save-the-date cards well in advance to give guests ample time to make travel arrangements. Include the wedding date and location.

Cultural or Local Customs

If your destination has unique customs or traditions, provide information and guidance to help guests respect and participate in them appropriately.

Welcome Bag

Mention if you plan to provide welcome bags with essentials or local treats upon guests’ arrival.

Transportation

If you plan to arrange transportation for guests between accommodations and wedding events, include details about pick-up times and locations.
