Set your budget and priorities:

The first step of a successful execution is knowing what you want and then work for it. It is important to discuss what kind of wedding you want with your to-be spouse and families. And then according to those requirements, it’s necessary to set a budget. Get your priorities straight and work on them beforehand. The biggest chunk of your budget usually goes to photography, decor, and accommodation. So make sure that you get those aspects right.

Once you finalize the destination you want to get married at, it is advisable to visit the place and if possible, stay there for a while. It’s really important to know the local culture, the prices, the vendors and all the common things you will need in the wedding. Staying at the destination will give you more ideas about the place and you can make local friends who will help you execute the wedding successfully.

Book local vendors:

 If you want to cut the extra cost of accommodation and travel of vendors, it is best that you book local vendors for decorations and catering. The local vendors will know the place better than you. So it will be better to coordinate with them and take their help.

Book your stay and events at one venue:

 When you’re planning a destination wedding, it is not possible to easily transport around the city for your stay and events. And with tons of guests with you, it is highly recommended to book your stay and all the wedding events at one place. This will not only save you the cost of transportation, but it will give you the extra comfort you need during your wedding.

Delegating the duties:

 It is not possible for the couple to handle everything for the wedding when you have a lot going on already. Doing everything yourself will mess things up at one point and you won’t be able to enjoy your own wedding. So, it’s important to give smaller duties to your friends and family members. Give them a list of their duties and deadlines, so they take it seriously. It’s important to also follow up on them to check if they’re doing it correctly.

  Including fewer guests at your destination wedding will make it more intimate and better. Invite the people you really have a connection with. This way you’ll be able to enjoy your wedding with the people who are close to you. Plus, a smaller guest list means less tension and more fun!

Minimal decor is the key:

    If you’re planning the decor all by yourself, then it’s better not to go overboard with it. Add some quirky and cute decor elements in your wedding instead of going professional. This will get you the extra compliments on your wedding and you’ll know that your decor duty is safe.

Ask for a discount:

 If you’re booking a hotel or resort for your whole wedding, there are chances that they will give you a bulk discount. If they are not offering it by themselves, it is better to ask for it beforehand. This will give you an extra budget for other stuff at your wedding.

The comfort of guests:

Allot rooms and itinerary beforehand:

Make sure that you allow all the rooms to your guests before the wedding. This will help in reducing the chaos when the guests arrive. Also, give the itinerary of all the functions with time and themes (If any) to your guests beforehand. This will clear the confusion and help your guests plan their schedule accordingly.
