How To Plan Successful Destination Weddings Mexico

By Ann Snyder


In the past, large weddings and receptions were the norm. Couples would often invite large extended families and their friends as well. This often resulted in large, impersonal celebrations. An increasing number of couples are starting to want intimate celebrations instead. Destination weddings Mexico can be very intimate and joyous events. If this kind of wedding appeals to you here are some tips that you can use to create an intimate and memorable event.

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.

One reason why Mexico is so popular with couples is how much choice there is in terms of ceremony sites and reception sites. If you want to have an all-inclusive experience you may want to think about a resort instead of a stand-alone site. You may find that you can get a complete wedding package for a reasonable amount.

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.

The clothes that you wear may be very different than if you were marrying at home. You may want to look at dresses that are made of light, flowing fabric. These will usually look better on a beach and be more comfortable to wear in hot weather. They may also be able to be packed easier and may not take up as much room in your suitcase as a large gown would. Attendants will often look more appropriate if they wear more tropical fabric and colors.

If you want to make sure that your ceremony and reception are what you dreamed they would be it is important to work with a consultant. Often resorts will have professionals on staff that can help you plan. Make sure that you are clear what you will be getting in terms of food, flowers and other decorative elements. That way there will be no unpleasant surprises when you arrive at the resort.

You can also use favors and gift baskets in order to make your guests feel welcome and appreciated. Keep in mind though that if you are going to be bringing items with you that you will want to make sure that they are compact and durable enough to travel well. Toiletry baskets and other items of that nature can make your guests feel as though you have taken their needs and comfort into account when they arrive.

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.
