You\u2019ve bought the rings, set a date, and determined you\u2019re going to make it a destination wedding. Now, you realize how expensive destination weddings can be. Instead of calling off the destination and just gathering in your backyard, here are some ways to keep your wedding affordable. After all, this is going to be a memorable occasion you\u2019ll cherish for the rest of your lives.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Start_your_budget_early\"><\/span>1. Start your budget early<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As soon as you decide on the destination, start planning your budget and begin saving for the big day. You can ask family and friends to help contribute to your big day by setting up a gofundme page.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19104\" src=\"https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-2-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-2-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/p>\n<p>Many people who aren\u2019t able to attend the destination would love to contribute to your big day by helping to make it h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en. Also, look for off-season dates to the destination you\u2019re considering. You may be able to get reduced rates for lodging and facilities. By setting aside money ahead of time on a regular basis, you can be sure to have enough funds to handle the expense of a destination wedding.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s as easy as taking 10% of each paycheck and putting it into a savings account called, \u201cOur Wedding\u201d. Any extra money you receive can be added at any time.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Take_a_careful_look_at_the_guest_list\"><\/span>2. Take a careful look at the guest list<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you are planning on everyone being there together, you\u2019ll want to review your guest list carefully and make sure you\u2019re inviting those who you really want to be there. A smaller wedding party makes for a more intimate setting and more meaningful experiences. Don\u2019t fall into the trap of inviting your third cousin twice removed because somebody said they should be invited.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19105\" src=\"https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-a.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-a-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-a-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-a-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-a-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/p>\n<p>This is your special day and you\u2019ll want to ensure that your guest list is full of those people you\u2019ll enjoy hanging out with. Remember, that usually a destination wedding is at least three days, if not a week, of your guests being there. Some may be only able to fly in for the day, but others will be there to help you plan and prepare for that day, so there\u2019s nothing wrong with having a smaller guest list.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Leverage_group_discounts_for_travel\"><\/span>3. Leverage group discounts for travel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You can get bigger discounts if you use a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a> agent and leverage the size of your group when you\u2019re planning the travel. If you contact a travel agent that is willing to work with you for group discounts, you can recommend them to all your guests. That way your travel arrangements can be handled through a professional who understands the business.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19102\" src=\"https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/p>\n<p>Not only can they help you with flights, they can also help you with hotel accommodations and meal planning. If you don\u2019t want to do all that yourself, another idea to help with travel is to hire a destination wedding planner who can coordinate all those details for you. This can become expensive, however, and may not be for everyone on a budget.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Decide_what_youll_pay_for_and_what_guests_will_pay_for\"><\/span>4. Decide what you\u2019ll pay for and what guests will pay for<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>With the ability to get group discounts, you\u2019ll be able to decide what parts of the wedding you\u2019ll provide and what parts you\u2019ll ask your guests to provide. Many services at destinations are not something you may want to pay for.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19103\" src=\"https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-2-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-2-3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-2-3-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-2-3-768x501.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-2-3-696x454.jpg 696w, https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wedding-Destination-2-3-644x420.jpg 644w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re offering a wedding reception, you can always have an open bar where guests pay for their own drinks. Also, consider forgoing any meals and have the wedding dinner at a restaurant that each guest pays for their meals. The final decision is yours and you won\u2019t go wrong by letting all your guests know ahead of time what is expected.<\/p>\n<p>Planning weddings can be stressful but planning a destination wedding can add an extra layer of expense to your already stressful day. These few tips will help you keep the costs of your destination wedding within reason and allow you to focus on enjoying yourself on this special day.<\/p>\n<div class=\"hentry\" style=\"visibility:hidden;\"><span class=\"entry-title\">4 Ways to Keep a Destination Wedding Affordable<\/span> was last modified: <span class=\"updated\"> March 31st, 2019<\/span> by <span class=\"author vcard\"><span class=\"fn\">Travel Blogger<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
