Maybe you've undoubtedly looked
over several wedding budget checklists, but
have you seen any that are specific to a
destination wedding?
While it's true that most of your wedding expenses will be the same whether you're in your home town or half way around the world...
But there are some expenses that are pretty much
uniquely destination wedding expenses - so let's take a
look at them.
Your Site Visit
if you can plan your wedding out several months, it is a smart idea to go visit your
wedding site location.
If you were getting married locally you wouldn't dream of booking a place without first seeing it so it's great when
you can do the same at your destination wedding site.
Travel Expenses
This could be airfare, your room, car rental and/or airport transfer, meals, entertainment, and tip
money.
Depending on your situation you might even have a pet
boarding expense and maybe you have to pay for airport
parking.
You could even see expenses such as additional cell phone charges, internet access, etc.
Passports and Travel Related Documents
Of course if you're travelling outside the country you will
also need to take care of your passport and travel
related documents

to prepare then you would with an at home wedding so

Date" cards.
Travel Expenses - Friends and Family
Since you are asking the most important people in your life to join you away from home there might be
some friends or family members who simply
can't afford to join you.
You will need to DECIDE if you want to find room in your budget to assist anyone with
their travel expenses.
Travel Expenses - Wedding Vendors
Depending on where you are getting married and
depending on the vendors who are available at your
venue you might be interested in flying in one or
more of your vendors.
