Island Wedding Hotspots on a Budget
While we don’t claim to know everything there is about planning a wedding, we do know a thing or two about saving costs when it comes to planning your Caribbean island wedding.
Many couples are very big on setting a budget for their wedding packages, and not coming near that budget. Sometimes it is very easy to get carried away, one thing turns into another, you forget about the little details.
Cost can definitely add up and these days the average beach wedding in the Caribbean does not have to be $20,000.00, so if there is anyway to save on that, I suggest you do. Thankfully we got some tips for you.
First and foremost to all you new brides out there, you first need to take a deep breath and relax. Find and focus on one thing, be it the dress, the venue, the food, whatever it is, focus on that and let everything else happen.
There is no point in driving yourself crazy over napkin ring holders or napkins themselves, when at the end of the day no body is going to really remember that detail. It is an important detail, don’t get me wrong, but don’t stress yourself out to the point when that big day you’ve been dreaming about comes, you don’t get to enjoy it.
You have planned now for years, months, however long and you want to sit back and taste the food, you want to eat the cake, you want to dance with the groom and remember at the end of the day that this was awesome.
It is very important to find a location, whether it is the Caribbean Wedding hotspots of Jamaica, British Virgin Islands, Bahamas, or St. Lucia. Because you are having your wedding on the beach, it sort of eliminates tuxedos and prom dresses when it came to wedding attire.
Some couples might want to go a different rout in planning their wedding; they want to do a hotel or ballroom venue and they want the entire guest to stay in the same place. It’s a fantastic idea but can be an expensive wedding option.
There are many hotels in the Caribbean offering wedding packages on all the islands. So whether you want that perfect wedding on the beach there is a hotel out there for you and they are beautiful.
When you walk in, you’ll be amazed at the wood floors, and the modern look of everything. A wedding in the Caribbean, whether at the resort or on the beach comes at half the price, maybe even less than half the prices of other wedding destinations out there.
Once you do pick a Caribbean island and you do get the feel of your wedding there is still tons of other ways to save. Have a friend take the pictures for you if you have a friend photographer, make your own wedding invitations, find some stationary and print it out in a nice document format and you’ve got yourself a nice cheap wedding invitation.
If you want to save even more on your wedding, friends or neighbors that you are inviting you can hand the invitations out to them.
You have to be a little creative; because there are several ways you can have the island wedding of your dreams for a fraction of the cost. Have your friends help you, have your parents help you and have your grooms help you ladies. Don’t do this all by yourself, because it is his wedding to.
