The key to creating a destination wedding that no one will ever forget is to make it unique to the bride and groom. As you begin to plan for the big day, keep these three questions in mind: How can I make it feel like us? How can I make it unique? How can I make my guests completely comfortable? Here, we offer tips to help you personalize your day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

1. Build Excitement for Guests<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

A few weeks before the wedding, send each of your guests a teaser via snail mail to get them excited for the upcoming trip. Some ideas: a guidebook with the location of your wedding bookmarked, or a gift that\u2019s super-specific to your destination\u2014such as a fresh lei for a wedding in Hawaii or a bag of gourmet coffee beans from Costa Rica.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

2. Help Guests Pack for Your Wedding<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Add a section to your\u00a0wedding website\u00a0that makes prepping for the trip a piece of cake. In addition to giving guests a heads-up about all the special events they\u2019ll be attending, include dress-code information and a list of things they won\u2019t want to leave home without, such as sneakers if you have any hikes or other adventure excursions planned), sunscreen, and a shawl or light jacket if you\u2019re jetting off to a steamy location that\u2019s cool at night. It\u2019s a nice and organized way to lend a helping hand while giving them a sneak peek at the events you\u2019re planning.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

3. Brand Your Wedding<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Guests traveled a long way to celebrate with you, and putting your personal stamp on everything they touch is a way of letting them know how much thought you put into their stay\u2014and how much you appreciate their being there. For instance, have a daily letter delivered to your guests with everything they need to know about the upcoming day such as the the timeline, temperature, tide report, meal info, and special activities they won\u2019t want to miss.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/h4>\n

4. Give Guests Customized Luggage Tags<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Gift your guests with stylish, completely customized luggage tags that unify them as a group and serve as keepsakes long after your wedding weekend. When to distribute them is up to you\u2014mail them to your guests before they begin their trek, or hand them out after the wedding, before they jet off for home.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

5. Set Up a Personal Greeting<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

It\u2019s all about the details: Place a pretty framed poster at the reception desk to greet guests as they check in, and appoint your personal attendant or wedding planner as your \u201cWedding Concierge\u201d to answer any questions your guests might have.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. Give Guests a Specialty Drink When They Arrive<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

After a long day of traveling, it\u2019s hard to resist a few sips of something delicious. Have the front desk welcome guests at check-in with your favorite drink: hot cocoa or mulled cider in a chilly locale, sparkling cider or champagne at a swanky resort, or a jalapeno margarita in Mexico. A table stocked with cool, moist, lemon or lavender scented towels is especially refreshing for those that have been traveling all day (especially in a warm locale).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

<\/h4>\n

7. Stock Guests\u2019 Rooms With a Welcome Gift<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Upon arrival, give your guests a warm welcome\u00a0with a gift to prep them for the weekend. You don\u2019t have to go overboard, but a few bottles of water and a handful of snacks that satisfy guests\u2019 sweet and salty cravings is a thoughtful touch. And don\u2019t forget the little ones\u2014if you know there will be kids in the room, milk and chocolate-chip cookies will certainly be well-received. Think about non-food items that can come in handy for the trip as well, such as a\u00a0map of the resort or city, notebook and pen, or a disposable water-proof camera.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

8. Thank Your Wedding Party<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

If possible, take your attendants on a surprise excursion\u2014a snorkel trip or a sunset cruise\u2014as a thank-you-for-being-in-the-wedding gift. Don\u2019t have the time? Personalize something they can use again and again instead. For the groomsmen, gift\u00a0customize guy-friendly items such as golf balls and watch faces with initials or nicknames. Give your bridesmaids a shawl or wrap that they can use if the evening gets chilly.<\/p>\n

9. Say \u201cGood Night\u201d to Guests<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Arrange for hotel staffers to leave a different treat on guests\u2019 pillows every night. Think chocolate chip cookies if those are you and your fiance’s favorite. For rooms where there are children, adding the gift of a different storybook each night is an adorable touch.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\n

10. Infuse Local Flavor<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Arrange for a local artist to perform or provide a service during the reception. There are plenty of options: cigar rollers, tarot-card readers, dance troupes, bagpipers, gospel choirs, flamethrowers\u2014you get the idea.<\/p>\n

11. Pack Goody Bags for the Plane<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Ask the front desk to distribute goody bags full of munchies for the plane as guests check out. Pick something you can assemble in advance and include a farewell note from the bride and groom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
