There is a lot of &#8216;letting go&#8217; when it comes to destination wedding planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could be planning a wedding in a location you have never seen. Most of the finer details are only seen with 3 months to go. Your wedding coordinator is in another country and may not be as attentive to your needs as you would want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can you handle this? Can you go with the flow?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"width:100%;height:0;padding-bottom:51%;position:relative;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/PlaleTCoHxQGXuWDx6\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" style=\"position:absolute\" frameborder=\"0\" class=\"giphy-embed\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/screaming-anne-hathaway-bridezilla-PlaleTCoHxQGXuWDx6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-em-guest-list-attendance-how-important-are-your-vips-em\">2. <em>Guest list attendance &#8211; How important are your VIPS<\/em>?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, the success of your big day depends on who shows up and how many people you have in attendance. With a destination wedding, there is a chance that even your closest family members and friends will not be able to attend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When creating your guest list, it\u2019s important to remember that this isn\u2019t just any ordinary day. You\u2019re planning a destination wedding, which means that some of your VIPs may be unable or unwilling to travel long distances. This means you must prioritize who will be able to attend and adjust your expectations accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before even considering a destination wedding, you need to see if this is a deal-breaker for you or your fiance. Talk to your VIPs and see if they are open and willing to attend a wedding in another country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is Zika a concern? Will your guests be paranoid about safety? Is the overall cost an issue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Communication is key with the key players for your wedding. This may (or may not) help you right off the bat figure out if you want a destination wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/holaweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Grand-Hyatt-Playa-del-Carmen-Wedding-A-B-4-e1560554979643.jpg\" alt=\"The beautiful bride and her family for her destination wedding at Grand Hyatt Playa del Carmen wedding day\" class=\"wp-image-1026\" style=\"width:750px;height:500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/holaweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Grand-Hyatt-Playa-del-Carmen-Wedding-A-B-4-e1560554979643.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/holaweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Grand-Hyatt-Playa-del-Carmen-Wedding-A-B-4-e1560554979643-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/holaweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Grand-Hyatt-Playa-del-Carmen-Wedding-A-B-4-e1560554979643-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/holaweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Grand-Hyatt-Playa-del-Carmen-Wedding-A-B-4-e1560554979643-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">You will surely want your gang on your wedding day!

Do you want a vacation (and potentially your honeymoon) with family and friends?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being surrounded by family and friends is wonderful, but if it becomes too much, it could take away from the joy of the special occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/holaweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Hadi-and-Halan-wedding-group-photo-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"wedding group photo at the beach\" class=\"wp-image-18285\" style=\"width:768px;height:576px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/holaweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Hadi-and-Halan-wedding-group-photo-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/holaweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Hadi-and-Halan-wedding-group-photo-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/holaweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Hadi-and-Halan-wedding-group-photo-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/holaweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Hadi-and-Halan-wedding-group-photo-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/holaweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Hadi-and-Halan-wedding-group-photo-1140x855.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/holaweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Hadi-and-Halan-wedding-group-photo.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Everybody, say cheese!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-em-formalities-em-em-are-they-for-you-em\">4. <em>Formalities<\/em>,<em> are they for you?<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you envision a grand ballroom filled with family, friends, and loved ones?
