Packing for Your Destination Wedding  by: Paris Permenter & John Bigley Are you planning a destination wedding? Congratulations! Before you head off to your dream wedding and honeymoon, don't forget the packing for the wedding itself. Much will depend on where you're having your wedding and your own personal style. If you're getting married in a formal wedding dress, be sure to carry it with you - don't trust your dress to checked luggage. Most airplanes have coat closets and will allow travelers to hang garment bags. Check with your airline. Grooms should also carry the clothing needed for the ceremony. If you're getting married in the Caribbean, you won't find many tuxedo rental shops in the islands. It is easiest to bring clothes with you. We recently saw a panicked groom in the Bahamas wearing a tuxedo shirt, coat, cummerbund -- and a pair of jeans. The stressed-out groom was racing for the lobby door to meet a clothier who had located a pair of tuxedo pants after the groom's were lost in his luggage. Don't let this happen to you! Also, carry all original documents--including birth certificates and divorce papers, if applicable--in your hand luggage. Don't pack these in checked luggage! Many resorts have on-site beauty salons, so you can make sure your hair is perfect for your wedding day. (If you plan to do your own hair, be sure to check first on the electrical current and plugs at your destination. You may need to bring converters for hot rollers and other appliances.) Many resorts also have on-site spas which can pamper the two of you with a massage to work out the kinks from your flight. For the wedding, you'll want to pack some of these items, depending on your plans: wedding dress special hosiery or undergarments shoes (if you're planning a tropical wedding, remember that high temperatures and humidity, coupled with a long flight, can make feet puffy) guest book wedding rings groom's tux or suit groom's shoes address book thank you cards if you'd like to write them on the way home special decorations, wedding music About The Author Husband and wife team Paris Permenter and John Bigley edit the award-winning Lovetripper.com (www.lovetripper.com), a romantic travel magazine and resource featuring honeymoons, destination weddings, and romantic getaways worldwide. editors@lovetripper.com This article was posted on October 12, 2004 Read More Articles from the "Travel and Leisure" Category: Hawaiian Island: Kauai’s Na Pali Coast by Terry Reim Rome Hotel: Why People Should Spend More Time in Rome by Stefano Sandano Italian London by Juliana de Angelis Know All About Major Attractions in San Diego by David Miller Golfing in Naples by Nick Jurkowski Travelling Turkey by John Gringham Hawaii - Don’t Hire a Tour Guide, Guide Yourself by Steven Anderson Mediterranean Cruise Guide by Jonathan Medcalfe The Power Converter - Sometimes it's Just Not Enough! by Tara Pearce Sorting Out Tuscany Italy by Clinton Maxwell << Back to "Travel And Leisure" Index
