How a Destination Wedding Can Save you Money

At first thought, one would assume a destination wedding would be much more expensive than a traditional wedding at home. However, the exact opposite is true, with destination weddings saving a couple over $23,000 on average. The cost savings just add to the many other reasons to have a destination wedding. Here are where the cost savings come into play:

• You don’t have to send out as many invitations – fewer guests mean that you save more
• All-inclusive packages include the costs of food and drink
• The cost of the wedding could be included in the cost of lodging
• No need to pay for a church
• No need to pay for decorations
• Your travel agent has the ability to negotiate lower rates based on the size of your group
