What a great way to start married life with an overseas wedding and honeymoon in one. So many couples are choosing t0 do this and for a good reason.
Destinations such as Thailand and Bali are increasing in popularity, simply because the deals
out there are too good to refuse. Having an overseas wedding eliminates the hassels of a great deal of wedding planning
and big savings, which is perfect for the couples that have the sticky situation of “not wanting to invite cousin Joe
because you know he will get drunk and make a fool of himself”, and of course the family members that dont get along.
Having your wedding overseas will have some draw backs ie; maybe you really want to have a particular guest to be there.
A small gathering is the normal part of an overseas wedding and honeymoon in one, so you invite the people you need to be there , who will need to pay their own way unless you can afford to pay for them when they cant themselves. By having guests at your overseas wedding does not give them an invitation to your honeymoon as you will want your time to be alone with your new spouse.
Most of all before you start planning you overseas wedding, (after you have chosen your destination ) make sure you know their local laws on marriage, as sometimes you may need to travel to the capital city to fill in forms and may need to wait a few days for processing , so finding out first can save a lot of hassels. Make sure you take all the identification you will need for your wedding planner, so that all documents connected to your marriage are true and legal. Most large hotels have in room safes for there protection.
Source your overseas wedding planner online or someone you know that has married overseas and can recommend some one, I personally know a fantastic wedding planner in Phuket.
PACKING YOUR WEDDING DRESS FOR OVERSEAS
Taking your wedding dress overseas can be a problem , as you may like to take on as hand luggage (you do not have to, but I would) so there is two ways to do this;
- Leave your dress on its hanger in its dress cover and hope like mad the hostess will hang it safely, if there is anywhere she can, otherwise you can nurse it.
- The better option is to lay your dress on the bed, still in its cover, and fold the dress in 3 lengthwise, then starting on the hem roll as small as possible ,and put in a duffle bag. Once your at the hotel fill your bathroom with steam from a hot running shower, hang your dress and the creases will drop out.
- If your dress is big gown then a small suitcase maybe all you need.
Other overseas wedding destinations that prove popular are ; Las Vegas and Italy,
The most important factors for overseas wedding planning is to ; once you are ready to book them I would suggest a Western Union money transfer for the deposit. Make sure you have the first initial face to face meeting with them , soon after you arrive in the country. It is here that the final arrangements will be made, like choosing your flowers, your final vows and travel arrangements to and from the service.
A tropical overseas wedding is the perfect way to start married live, full of romance and adventure.
