Factors that go into finding beautiful destination wedding getaways

To find a destination wedding location that is the perfect fit for your tropical wedding you should ask yourself the following questions.

Where are the majority of the guests who will be attending your wedding located?

The number one factor that influences the All Inclusive Wedding budget is airfare. Destination wedding magazines often write of exotic beach wedding locations without ever mentioning their accessibility. Make a list of destinations you’d like to go to and do a quick search of flight prices.

Here’s a quick reference quide

What type of activities and nightlife are you looking for?

Do you plan on taking the whole crowd out bar hopping in a wild hotel district? Do you want to party the nights away within the confines of the resort? Are you looking for endless walks on the beach and setting your watch to the rhythm of the waves rolling in?

Are kids being invited to your tropical beach wedding?

If so, you’ll need to find a destination wedding location suitable for kids. Adults only hotels are out (they’re usually a lot more expensive anyways) and you’ll be looking for something with tons of activities, babysitting services and a great kids’ club.

Inviting kids to the wedding often increases the number of guests who are able to attend as your friends don’t have to leave their kids at home and can justify the expense by turning it into a family vacation.

What is your All Inclusive Wedding budget?

The first thing that pops to mind when couples think of budget is how much they’d like to spend. The more important consideration is how much you think your guests can afford. If most of your guests are professionals that have already made traction in their careers then you can budget a little higher. If you graduated from university six months ago and half your friends are still there, you’d better work on a little more of a shoestring.

Couples are often better off and happier afterward in choosing something that they know all their guests can afford even if they were originally setting their sights a little higher. You can spend a little extra money on upgrades and outings to make sure that your built-in honeymoon is what you always dreamed of.

Keeping the all inclusive wedding budget low also allows couples to subsidize the trips of certain family members who wouldn’t be able to afford to go otherwise.
