Wedding Guest book: Ask Friends and Family for Help

Before you choose your wedding invitations and guest book, you’ll want to look at the number of guests invited, along with general invitation sizing. Save the dates and wedding invitations will be sent long before you arrive at a destination. However, place cards and other must-have items must come with you to your chosen destination. My best tip here is to ask family members, bridesmaids and close friends if they can help with bringing some of your most needed paper material.  A little pre-planning in advance can make a difference in baggage costs associated with travel. A quick tip: Always check with your travel agent as to baggage allowance for your particular flight plans to ensure you don’t have hefty pre-boarding bills upon departure.

Wedding Guest book: Invitations To Mail or Email

A frequently asked question with my couples is whether or not a mail out wedding invitation is necessary with a destination wedding. Of course, budget is always a factor in weighing this out. I must say I love to get wedding invitations in the mail. I’m a die-hard keep-sake keeper, and former wedding invitations bring back such wonderful wedding memories of the special people in my life. Whether you do or not is perfectly up to you. What is fantastic about having a destination wedding abroad is you’ll have lots of time to budget invitations and save the dates. Many couples book a year+ for their wedding trip plans abroad.
