Destination Wedding Activities
for your guests!
Many couples plan special destination wedding activities for their closest family and friends who will graciously travel to attend their wedding. These activities are a way to bring you and your guests together and share a memorable destination getaway.
Your guests will feel extra special, when you take the time to plan unique destination activities for them. If you are not sure where to start, begin by researching activities that are unique to the area.
Printing an activity itinerary for your guests is a great idea and should be given to your guests as soon as they arrive. Some couples prepare special welcome baskets for each of their guests and tuck the itinerary in each basket along with some area maps and local goodies!
Most destination wedding guests will arrive a few days before your wedding day or will stay a few days after your wedding. Wedding guests will indulge in a mini-vacation while you honeymoon. You and your guests will leave this beautiful destination with special wedding and vacation memories to cherish for years to come.
Don't plan too many activities for them, allow them enough time to explore the location on their own and don't be hurt if they do not want to participate in the activities you have planned. Be sure to include specific times for "alone time" in your itinerary. Guests can use this time to schedule their own activities.
The cost of these activities should be paid for by the bride and groom, or person paying for the wedding, since your guests have paid for travel and hotel expenses in order to attend your destination wedding.
Listed below are some fun destination wedding activity ideas you can plan for your newly arrived wedding guests.
