TAKE IT ONLINE
More and more brides-to-be are providing wedding websites for their guests to access . Include relevant information about the resort and the destination , along with details about any hen ’ s or buck ’ s parties , the wedding day ( such as dress code and order of events ), and any proposed activities or tours for the days leading up to and after the wedding . We love the idea because it acts as a central hub for communication , enabling you to share information quickly and easily . It ’ s also a fantastic organisation tool that can help you keep track of RSVPs and share photos .
Your guests may find maps of the local area and information about recommended vaccinations , climate , currency , transport , must-see sites , and links to relevant travel websites handy , too . You could separate activities into themes – spa and beauty for those wanting to be pampered ; golf , zip-lining and mountain climbing for the adventurous ; highly rated restaurants for the foodies … you get the idea .
FUN FOR ALL
The days leading up to your wedding are perfect for spending quality time with your guests . It ’ s also a great opportunity to host a pre-wedding sightseeing tour . Is there a stunning waterfall to visit , a cultural attraction to see or a local village to tour ? If the area is renowned for its food and wine , can you arrange a tasting experience ? Book a mini-van or a few cars and plan a half-day trip , finishing with lunch or dinner ( remember your guests have spent a fair bit of money just to be there , so shouting them a meal would show your appreciation ). Also , consider that some guests may want to explore on their own , so ensure everything is optional . Make use of your wedding website by posting activities , then booking numbers based on the replies .
