Destination Wedding Save the Date
Destination weddings seem to be more and more popular. I love the idea of getting away to a beautiful spot to tie the knot with your closest friends and family there to share in the joy. A friend recently got married on the top of a mountain in Colorado and the pictures with the couple on the snow-covered mountain were unbelievable. What could be more special?
Many couples ask if the rules for destination weddings are the same as traditional weddings. When it comes to invitations and save the dates, there is no question that a wedding is a wedding and still deserves some level of formality. However, couples are really having a lot of fun these days with creative and personalized save the dates.
The keys rules of sending a save the date for a destination wedding are as follows:
1) Timing. Make sure to send it well in advance of your wedding so your guests have plenty of time to research flights and make travel arrangements. MyPunchbowl's Travel Center makes coordinating travel a snap for your guests so that's one less thing for you to worry about.
2) Location. Location. Location. Don't forget to include the destination of your wedding. You'd think it is obvious but sometimes it gets overlooked. Maybe even include a picture of the site to get your guests really excited about your nuptuals.
3) Show your personality. Whether you're a little bit country or a little bit rock 'n roll, or preppy, or hippie chic, or trendy, don't be afraid to let you personality come through in the save the date design. From the colors to the ribbons to the fonts, you control what your guests see as the first impression of your big day. Make it yours.
Enjoy Planning.
