The idea of having a destination wedding can be exciting, but before you decide to do it, you should consider the pros and cons of this move. While many couples opt for a destination wedding, it’s certainly not for everyone. Here’s what you need to know upfront.

It Lasts for a Few Days

Unlike an ordinary wedding where you get a few hours with the guests before everyone goes home, a destination wedding means that you’ll be with them for a few days and that the celebration will last as long as you’re there. Think about if this is a pro or a con to you, depending on your relationship with future guests.

Holiday for Everyone

The vibe at destination weddings is typically great because everyone is on holiday, but make sure to notify people at least a year in advance, so they can plan ahead.

Short Guest List

A destination wedding is a perfect excuse to cut the guest list to a smaller number, so it’s a great idea if that’s what you had planned but not as great if you want to have a big wedding.
