Destination Wedding Etiquette: What to Do (and Not Do)

Planning a destination wedding? Then you already know it's part travel adventure, part people management, and part “no, Aunt Carol, your new boyfriend can't come just because he loves Jamaica.” 😅

In this week's live replay, I unpack some of the most common (and surprisingly juicy) etiquette dilemmas that pop up when your big day happens far from home. We're talking about plus-ones, no-kids policies, and guests who RSVP yes but forgot to budget for a flight.

Grab your favorite planning beverage (may I suggest something tropical?), hit play, and let's break it all down together.

Topics we tackle in this episode:

How to gracefully handle unwanted guests (you know the ones)
What to say when you're planning a child-free celebration
Why plus-ones can be tricky at destination weddings
How to support guests who want to attend but can't afford it
The deal with bridal showers (yes or no?)
Keeping your bachelor or bachelorette party from outshining the main event
And whether a honeymoon registry beats toasters and towels!

Plus: tips for standing firm without creating drama, why being clear upfront is kinder, and a few behind-the-scenes stories from real wedding that'll make you feel very seen.
