Even if money is no object for your wedding, it is important to create a realistic spending plan – i.e., a budget – to guide you as you make your destination wedding decisions.<\/em><\/p>\n

First…<\/h2>\n

Sit down with your fiance and create a budget for your wedding, don’t cheat; stick to it.<\/p>\n

If you’re not prepared, the budget in any destination can exceed your expectations.<\/p>\n

Honestly answer the question: How much can you spend on your wedding without going into debt for years to come?<\/p>\n

Why is a Wedding Budget Necessary?<\/h2>\n

If you’re paying for your wedding, the expense will likely be your life’s third most costly investment! Topped only by raising children and buying a home…possibly a car.<\/p>\n

But, unlike buying a home or a car, you don’t have to prove to a wedding venue or wedding vendors that you can afford the purchase. And this is where things can easily go sideways when planning a wedding.<\/p>\n

IMPORTANT! Have a serious discussion about your wedding budget so that you can deal with your wedding venue and vendors.<\/p>\n

You’ll have to get creative if you’re on a tight budget. But don’t let outside forces influence your decisions about what you can afford for your wedding.<\/p>\n

Remember, marriage is the important part that’s the real challenge, not all the hoopla of a wedding day or wedding weekend.<\/p>\n

If you cannot have an honest and open conversation about money with your partner now, perhaps marriage is a bit premature (just sayin’…)<\/p>\n

How Much Does a Destination Wedding Cost?<\/h2>\n

First, your destination wedding can be as grand or small as you want.<\/p>\n

When comparing a Caribbean destination wedding to a hometown wedding in the US, it\u2019s possible to pay 40% less for your island celebration.<\/p>\n

You could have a small destination wedding at all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean for 10 people for around $6,000.<\/del><\/p>\n

For a destination wedding in the Caribbean, you have two options:<\/p>\n

1) A wedding at an all-inclusive resort or hotel or<\/p>\n

2) a private wedding at an alternative location – a private villa or home, a banquet facility, or perhaps you choose to buy a property.<\/p>\n

The items that you’re (i.e., the couple hosting the wedding) financially responsible for include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Your travel<\/li>\n
  • Your accommodation<\/li>\n
  • All wedding-related expenses: wedding reception menu, ceremony site fees, photography, cake, wedding wardrobe, marriage license fees, etc.<\/li>\n
  • Guest activities – excursions, welcome gifts, etc.<\/li>\n
  • Subsidized travel and accommodation – paying for gusts who must <\/em>be there<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Prioritize!<\/h2>\n

    Determine your priorities. This advice goes for any couple planning a wedding \u2013 hometown or destination.<\/p>\n

    What’s important? \u00a0Food, photos, guest experience\u2026? \u00a0Put the most money there!<\/p>\n

    Cut corners everywhere else.<\/p>\n

    Keep Track of the Wedding Budget<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Create a separate wedding account – savings, special credit card (great if you’re collecting points!)<\/li>\n
    • If you’re getting money from parents, stash it away in this account<\/li>\n
    • Funnel a percentage of every paycheck in to the account<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Money-Saving Tips for Your Destination Wedding<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Keep your guest list small – invite a small group of people<\/li>\n
      • Choose a destination that is not a favorite for wealthy tourists (e.g. St. Barts, Barbados)<\/li>\n
      • Go all-inclusive – you and guests pay a flat price for food, room, drinks and activities. Many resorts will cover the cost (or a substantial portion of the cost) of the wedding as long as your wedding group is at the resort or hotel for a guaranteed number of nights<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Keep in Mind…<\/h2>\n

        A small budget doesn’t make your destination wedding any less special. When you know how much money you can spend and your priorities, you’re in a good place.<\/p>\n

        Remember the answer to this question: How much can you spend on your wedding without putting yourself in debt for years to come?<\/p>\n
