Wedding Bells in the Caribbean

Posted in caribbean travel, travel, vacation resort by Webmann on August 28, 2008
Ile a Vache, HaitiImage via Wikipedia The Caribbean islands have long been a favorite honeymoon destination for newly married couples. The weather here is sunny all year round and you can enjoy a number of wonderful vacation activities together, like taking tours, trying water sports, and lying in the sun. However, in the past few decades, it has also become very popular to travel to the Caribbean for the wedding itself, not just for the honeymoon. There are both advantages and disadvantages to doing so.

First, you must consider who you want to have present at your wedding. By law, you will probably be required to have a certain number of witnesses, and you may not be able to imagine your wedding without your father to walk you down the aisle or your best friend as your best man. Remember that every guest you want to be present at the wedding will have to be flown to the island. In many cases, the guests will not be able to afford this trip themselves and you will have to pay for all or at least some of it. If this isn’t in your budget, it may not be possible for you to have everyone present at your wedding ceremony. The cost of a Caribbean wedding is definitely a disadvantage.

Remember also that you will probably be vacationing for your honeymoon wherever you hold the wedding. While it may be nice to have friends and family around for the wedding, you might wish they would disappear for the wedding. Your guests may also want to take a vacation while they are in the neighborhood, so if you want some private time, and all inclusive couples only resort may be what you need for them to stay out of your way.

However, one of the main advantages is that you are already in the location where you’ll be honeymooning. Travel is stressful and not a good way to start a new life together, so instead, you can just jump right in to paradise. Not only that, but your wedding will be an very memorable event because the beach background overlooking the sunset and ocean will be beautiful. Many couples love the island scenery, so a Caribbean wedding may be perfect for you.

If you decide to have a Caribbean wedding, contact a wedding planner from the specific island to which you will travel. He or she can help make sure that your big day goes smoothly and that you will have the time of your life on your honeymoon.

All The Reasons To Visit A Luxury Spa Resort

Posted in spa vacations, travel, vacation resort by Webmann on August 27, 2008
Swimming pool at the Town and Country resort i...Image via Wikipedia When it comes time to book your vacation spot, there are many things you should want to go over. First of all, if you are looking for something of luxury, make sure that you settle for nothing less. By taking something less then a luxury resort, you will be unhappy with the overall experience of your stay. And that is not something that is fair to either you or the resort itself. When picking a luxury spa resort, make sure that you keep in mind the reason for your stay, as this will help you pick which resort to stay at.

If this is for a bridal shower weekend or a honeymoon, make sure you keep those factors in mind because you can always find a luxury spa resort that will cater to you for these types of occasions. If this is simply a weekend getaway for you and your friends, that is also something else to keep in mind so that you are picking the right place. No matter what your reason for going is, you are sure to find the perfect luxury spa resort if you look hard enough.

Who To Take

First you need to decide if this is a small vacation that you would prefer to take on your own. If that is the case, there is nothing wrong with going to a luxury spa resort on your own, as many people do it all the time. But if you prefer a little company, or even a lot of company, think about who would be the most fun at a luxury spa resort. Since the whole idea of a spa is about relaxing, you will want to keep this in mind when picking whom you would like to invite along with you.

Once you have an idea of whom you are going to take with you, you need to determine if you are paying as a gift for them or if they are responsible for their own way. If this is a bridal shower weekend, then it is probably best to pay for everyone’s way. It would not be fair to exclude someone just because they cannot afford to visit the expensive place you picked out. If you are paying, this may change the amount of people that you want to invite. While the individual costs may not be much, paying for a lot of people to stay at a luxury spa resort can add up fast.
