If you chose a destination wedding, then you and your fiancé are clearly in love with the location you chose. Inspire this same joy in your guests by incorporating the destination theme into thoughtful details. While these additions are fun and creative, they are also useful ideas to help your guests navigate their way to your big day.
Personalized Map
Have an artsy friend? Ask for help or create your own personalized map of your wedding location. Clarify the main roads for transportation, as well as famous sites for your guests to visit during downtime.
Boarding Pass
This clever boarding pass is a fun addition to your wedding invitations. Include useful information regarding travel time and where your guests will be arriving so they can carry it with them for easy access.
Welcome Bags
Welcome bags are a must-have. Your guests have traveled a long way, and a thoughtful welcome present in their hotel room will prepare them for an activity-packed weekend.
Local Flair
Everything from the contents of your welcome bag to the food and favors should be locally based. Your destination wedding is a vacation for your guests, and they’ll want to experience the culture that you’ve come to love.
Luggage Tags
Luggage tags are a memorable and useful wedding favor—besides, how appropriate!
Themed Wedding Invitation
Incorporate a travel theme in your wedding invitation. Maps always look great, or you can find something more local, such as a skyline or bird’s eye view of an island.
Useful Items
Stuff some practical items like sunscreen, flip flops, or coupons to help them settle into your destination comfortably.
Travel-Themed Decorations
Even if your wedding theme has nothing to do with wanderlust or your specific location, you can still add some vintage suitcases or a rustic globe for a creative touch.
Travel Guide
Create a travel guide with you and your fiancé’s favorite restaurants, attractions, coffee shops, and bars. Your guests will have some time to kill, and you can save them time by telling them the best places to go.
Sunglasses
Welcome your guests to your wedding ceremony with sunglasses to make your sunny destination more comfortable. Make a sign with a clever saying like, “don’t be blinded by our love.”
