Destination Wedding Save The Date
Destination weddings tend to be smaller and guests are
usually close friends and family. However, they will need much more information in
terms of travel and hotel accommodations, as well as an itinerary of the events you
have planned for them. In effect, someone needs to take the job of being Travel Arranger and pass that
information on to your guests.
There are a number of options for destination wedding save the date announcements. You can send a simple save the date notice with the date and location of your destination wedding, as well as your wedding website, if you have created one. Some brides choose to send wedding newsletters with updates. If you have most of the events planned, sites and restaurant reserved, then detailed information can be compiled in a save the date booklet. The booklet is usually multiple pages and a very handy (and attractive) package for your guests to keep the information in one place. This is also an extremely personal way to show your guests you care about their convenience and comfort.
Here are some ideas for your destination wedding save the date booklet:
- Save the Date Announcement - Names, date and place, ending with "Invitation to follow"
- Itinerary - A brief outline and description of what you have planned for each day.
- Hotel Information - If possible, list high, midrange and economy options with phone, email and contact information for each.
- Airline Information - Which airlines fly to your destination? Budget, luxury options.
- Car Rentals or transport from the airport to the destination.
- Special information - Will your guests need a visa or inoculations?
- What to Wear - Info about what to expect in terms of weather and local style as well as sports or physical activities.
- What to Bring - Sunblock, hiking shoes, etc.
- Is this the first your guest has heard of your wedding? A handwritten note on the first page is a sincere gesture on your part. Or, you can tuck the note into the booklet, so it's the first thing they see.
