Destination weddings: Helping guests with no stress

March 4, 2020 By hautegreyfox

We made it, y’all — it’s March! My son will be marrying my future daughter-in-love very soon, and my excitement hasn’t toned down one bit. I’m planning outfits, trying out different makeup looks, and enjoying the journey of being the mother of the groom. What a blessing it will be to witness this moment.

For my son’s wedding, we’re taking things outside of the United States. That’s right — a destination wedding. While this is a personal, intentional decision made by the bride and groom, guests also see this as a great way for a mini-vacation. If you’re planning a destination wedding, here are a few things to keep in mind.

Help your guests plan early

Once you confirm your guest list, share details about your destination wedding as soon as possible. From work conferences to annual appointments and family events, you are not the only person with dates on the calendar. Allow your guests enough time to make proper arrangements, such as using vacation time, arranging childcare, rescheduling appointments, and more. A simple save the date is a great start; don’t feel the need to have all of the answers ready as soon as you announce your engagement.

Provide safe resources for booking

Not all websites and travel agencies are the same, but an Internet search without guidance can quickly lead you to a negative travel experience. If you are using a particular travel agent or booking website, share the good news with your guests. Put this information in the invitation, but encourage your guests to direct their questions to the agency or website. Creating this communication early allows you to ensure that you don’t become the point person for answering all of the questions about your big day.

Be considerate of your guests

As you’re exchanging your vows, you will look around and see love on display. Family and friends have traveled a great distance to celebrate your special union. This loyal group may also have made financial sacrifices to guarantee that they wouldn’t miss the opportunity to be by your side. While wedding registries are perfectly fine, it’s also okay to encourage non-financial gifts such as prayers and encouragement, recommendations for fun date nights, etc. Your biggest gift is that you are marrying your best friend in front of the most important people in your life.

What does New Year’s Day mean to me? No resolu What does New Year’s Day mean to me?
 
No resolutions.
 
I’ve been on that rollercoaster before, and it never left me feeling my best. Instead, I dream big — and I take it one day at a time. I create a vision board with affirmations, motivational reminders, and more. 
 
I don’t have to accomplish every goal in 2023. I just have to believe my goals are never too big to achieve. 
 
How do you approach the new year?

Wednesday Words of Wisdom - FIND YOUR FIRE #Find Wednesday Words of Wisdom - FIND YOUR FIRE

#Find your fire and do whatever it is that wakes you up, whatever it is that makes you feel alive.  Do what inspires you, what moves you, what makes your heart race. Do the things that ignite passion into your bones.  Chase your dreams, follow your heart, capture the moments that take your breath away.  Do not settle for mediocrity, you have a fire in your soul and a burning in your heart.  Do not let fear, convenience or comfort put out those flames.  Hold onto what lights them with your light.  You are capable and deserving of magic, of love, of the extraordinary-you just have to believe it.  Discover what sets a spark in you, follow the flames and light a fire so big that nothing can extinguish it - there is enough fire inside you to burn brighter than the sun.”

2022 is winding down, and I can summarize the year 2022 is winding down, and I can summarize the year with one statement:
 
I was here. 
 
This year, I spent less time scrolling — and more time seeing the beauty before me. I traveled more, spent time with family, and checked some things off my to-do list. Each of these moments brought me tremendous joy. 
 
Without a doubt, 2022 was the best year of my life. Something about my 60th birthday brought me back to the most essential pieces of my identity.
 
I’m excited for 2023. Are you?
