Planning Tips For Destination Weddings Mexico

By Ann Snyder


If you are getting married you may have thought about the many different options available. You may have considered having a large ceremony and reception but may feel that this style does not suit you or your future spouse. If you are thinking about finding ways to plan a smaller, more intimate gathering, you may want to consider one of the many destination weddings Mexico that are available. Here is how to ensure you end up with a beautiful and memorable celebration.

Planning anything when you are not right there can be stressful. If you are working with a spot in Mexico and you live in an area such as Alberta, Canada you may find that a quick trip down to your chosen location may help you choose various options and ensure that everything is on board and arranged properly. The peace of mind may help offset the increased cost of your event.

Local resorts are popular sites for weddings. There are a number of reasons for this. One is that the ceremony and reception can both take place close to one another. The other is that there are often visually beautiful areas on resort properties that make natural settings for pictures and for the ceremony itself.

Your guest list will often be smaller with this kind of event. If you want to include people who cannot afford to travel you may want to plan a reception when you get back where you can show images from your event. Do not be surprised if some people are unable to afford the travel costs and you should treat their attendance at your event as a gift in and of itself.

Your ceremony location will also affect things such as what will be worn by both the bride and the groom. It may also affect what the wedding party will wear as well. If you are getting married on the beach you may want to choose garments made from lightweight, flowing fabric rather than large ball gowns or other heavy dresses.

Marrying at a resort can have many different advantages. One is that your guests will be able to stay right at the site and will not need to worry about arranging transportation in a foreign country. You will also find that a resort will usually have a wedding planner on staff. He or she will be familiar with local service providers and be able to help you create a beautiful and memorable event.

Making the ceremony personal for your guests does not need to be difficult. If you are planning to give your guests gift baskets or favors you may want to describe why you chose your ceremony and reception site. You may also want to place baskets in their rooms with toiletries or other items as a way of welcoming them to the resort.

One way to continue with the intimate feel you are trying to achieve is to plan some group activities. These can include visits to meaningful sites for you and your future spouse, group activities such as snorkeling or horseback riding trips or other group activities. You may also want to give your guests some down time as well so that they can enjoy their vacation and be just as relaxed and refreshed as you are.
