Wedding Planner, Emilee, joins us to share about her experiences planning destination weddings! The magic of “destination” can be 3 hours from where you live It doesn’t have to be an exotic location; you don’t have to have a passport KEY = has to be at least 3 days Guest count is small enough for guests to stay in the same place Who are the “destination wedding” type of people If you feel like you’re giving something up, you probably shouldn’t do destination Everywhere she goes, she builds in extra days after the wedding (not before) to explore and experience the location The “wedding hangover” is a real thing Can’t really do anything immediately after the wedding Honeymoon advice: don’t leave the night of your wedding if it takes more than 4 hours to reach your destination You will enjoy your trip so much more! Unrealistic expectations for destination weddings: How much it costs to bring stuff there Factor in paying for extra baggage All wedding information needs to be offloaded to the coordinator ahead of time so she knows all the info without having to bug the wedding party while in country Packing Guests - on their own Brides - remember to pack something cozy and comfy, not just cute/sexy It is humid in Mexico, so be sure not to bring hot, long sleeve, heavy material Bring extras of everything because you’ll sweat more! Traveled into Mexico with 180 maracas! Was pulled aside in customs  She is often traveling with the materials for the guest welcome bags How to make a wedding planner super happy? Don’t buy things for them, but tips are great Message gift certificate, wine Once you make a decision, stick with it and don’t look back Destination weddings are often cheaper than local weddings for the couple, but they are more expensive for guests Working with the travel agent: Intake Kids or no kids at the resort Look &amp; feel (all inclusive or not) How far away from the airport? Options from agent Agent coordinates all the travel! Wish You Were Here Cheryl: Glen Eyrie Castle, Colorado Springs, CO Emliee: Elephant Jungle Sanctuary, Chiang Mai, Thailand Ryan: Eques, Bellevue, WA Follow us on Twitter &amp; Instagram: @tmwypodcast Leave us a voicemail (or text message): (406)763-8699 Email: tmwypodcast@gmail.com Follow Emliee: tastefultatters.com
