Money-Saving Wedding Idea - Do a Destination Wedding!

Posted Thursday, March 19, 2009 7:36 PM

One of the biggest myths about destination weddings is that they're always more expensive than domestic weddings. Not true! And there are several reasons for this.... you can make the guest list smaller, most destination wedding sites have the extras (like bouquets and boutonnieres) already built into their wedding packages, and, you can usually get deep discounts on hotel rooms too.

Not to mention that nowadays tons of resorts are cutting deals. It's true! I just heard that if you book a wedding at The Ritz-Carlton in the Caribbean or Mexico, they'll throw in the wedding ceremony at no extra cost and give you a 3-day voucher to stay there free on your one-year anniversary. Nice.
