Handy Tips For Organizing Destination Weddings Mexico

By Daphne Bowen


Apart from holding a marriage ceremony in your country of residence, consider having it in a different country from the one you live in. This is becoming a common trend that a lot of people are exploring. To ensure that your event is a success when planning destination weddings Mexico, you should know what the do's and don'ts are.

It is essential for you to go to Mexico or Alberta, Canada before your big day. This is very important if you have never been there before. Going there will give you an idea of what to expect. It will also give you an opportunity to get some things done as you gear up for your wedding. During your visit, pick service providers, choose suitable accommodation for you and your guests and some activities that you can engage in while there.

Consider how much the whole event is going to cost not just you, but your wedding guests as well. If well organized, an event organized in Alberta, Canada can cost you just as much as you would pay for it in your home country. However, you need to factor in some extra expenses that you usually won't have in a normal wedding. This includes the cost of airfare, hotels and activities for guests.

It is essential that you research what the local marriage requirements are. This may differ from the requirements in your country. You may have to spend a certain number of days in the country before you are legally allowed to marry. Being informed about the requirements will help you to plan in advance.

Vet your vendors carefully. This is to ensure that they do not disappoint you. Check their references and portfolio. Find people who are reliable, since they will have to work independently most of the time, since you won't be in Mexico for long periods of time. Communicate with them on a regular basis. Video chats and instant messages are some communication channels you can use.

Inform your friends in advance about your plans to hold your marriage ceremony in a different country. This will help you know whether they will be able to travel or not. This is especially important for those individuals that you want to ask to be part of your bridal party. Informing your friends and relatives in advance will help them to plan and budget accordingly.

You can choose to use the services of a planner. This is if you feel overwhelmed by all the planning that needs to be done. If you have booked a package deal with a resort or hotel, they may offer to organize all the details for you. This will save you the hassle and expense of hiring a planner or doing the planning yourself.

Choose the right time of the year to travel. Avoid seasons when schools are out or holiday times, as they are typically quite busy and might make it harder for you to have a great time. If you want an outdoor wedding or beach wedding, avoid traveling during the season when there are hurricanes.
