Destination weddings are the new fad in today’s burgeoning wedding industry - be it a romantic island in Fiji, or a really nice old castle in Germany. It’s indeed a wonderful and pleasurable sight - getting married in the fashion of one’s dreams. Of course, with all that joy comes a little sorrow - a lot of people might be left out, and might even be sad or take offense at the fact that they are being left out of a remarkably important and special moment in a person’s life. It is therefore expected that people will feel a little sorrowful in your moment of utmost joy. However, amends can be made, and a balance can be struck in order to ensure both personal happiness, as well as happiness of all those that are feeling left out due to the fact that the wedding is not happening in their presence.
For instance, one could certainly organize a bachelor or a bachelorette party, as the case may be, before leaving for their own romantic getaway. Close friends can be invited to the same, and the bash could serve to pre-empt some of the disappointment that is to be expected from those who wanted a local wedding. Making the bachelor or bachelorette party significant and making everyone that is invited feel utterly special and significant can go a long way in ensuring stronger relationships with friends that are not attending the destination wedding.
Another really good idea is to give everyone a return personal gift once the wedding is over, and let everyone feel like they would have been invited, had the wedding taken place at home. It is of utmost importance that there are no bitter or untoward feelings, so letting them feel their presence at the wedding is a great way forward. Also tell friends that they were missed and make them feel special.
A great way to kick start one’s married life after a destination wedding, is to have a marriage party back at home, with all those who were not present at the destination wedding. In other words, have a party to shower the couple with blessings and gifts. It goes a long way in terms of maintaining a healthy relationship, as it makes everyone feel loved and is a great way to celebrate! By adhering to these simple rules of destination wedding etiquette, the wedding, as well as the married life of the couple, will be one filled with joy and happiness.
