More suggestions and planning tips on planning a destination beach wedding.

• If you are planning a destination beach wedding in a foriegn country - Arrive a few days early to finalize the last minute details. Many countries require that either the Bride or the Groom or both be in the country a specified number of days before the wedding, be sure to check with the local authorities.
• Consider your guests budgets when booking hotels. Or better suggest a variety of hotels in a wide range of prices.
• Encourage your guests to send the wedding gifts to your home rather that bring them to the wedding location.
• If you are flying to your beach wedding destination - Rather than check your wedding dress, carry the box or garment bag onto the plane. Most airlines will accommodate this request.
• Take advantage of local customs, music and food.
• Wedding favors local to the area make great mementos, and one less thing to pack.
• Host a second reception or party at home for guests unable to attend the wedding.
