Wedding costs can add up quickly!  We’ve rounded up our expert money-saving tips to help you save even MORE on your beach wedding. Destination wedding costs are about a third of the $35k price tag of a traditional wedding and are way more fun!

Go All-Inclusive

Hands down, the best way to save money on your destination wedding is to have it at an all-inclusive resort. Not only will all your meals, drinks, and entertainment be included, but most hotels offer complimentary wedding packages and perks like room upgrades and resort credits when you book a certain number of rooms or nights.

Narrow Down Your Guest List

Assuming you’ve chosen a destination wedding for its small and intimate nature, this shouldn’t be a problem. Roughly, about 40% of those invited will travel to your wedding. Take advantage of resorts that offer free private events like a cocktail party or reception dinner. 

DIY What You Can

If you’re arriving at your destination early, you’ll have plenty of time to put together things like welcome bags or favors for your guests. Planning a girls’ day before you tie the knot? Then, round up the gang for a DIY party, where you can assemble décor or even small floral centerpieces. Not only will this save you money, but it’s also a great way to bond with the girls before you say I do!

Weekday vs. Weekend

A weekday wedding could cut costs on airfare, accommodations, and even vendor fees. Worried your guests will be inconvenienced by this? Not to worry, most guests will appreciate the affordable option, even if it means taking off an extra day or two of work. Plus, a lot of travelers tend to extend the wedding festivities into an entire vacation. 

Take Advantage of Your Location

One of the greatest things about having a destination wedding is the location you’ll be in! And since the destination will already be beautiful on its own, you won’t need to spend extra on the décor and flowers. After all, those ocean views pretty much speak for themselves.
