You can easily downsize the guest list without offending any of your guests. i.e. you can invite Aunts and Uncles but not cousins and all their children. This is also a good way to exclude those family members who may get drunk and spoil your special day.
There are many beautiful hotels, beaches and castles which are much nicer place to get married than your local church or registration office.
Your wedding will be attended by only those you want to have with you. Not all the family members you feel obliged to invite because you were invited to their wedding.
By scaling down the party size you can save a small fortune on wedding meals, buffets and wines or drinks packages.
Dedicated destination wedding providers offer fantastic value for money and you will be in the hands of experts.
You can avoid family members interfering in the planning of the wedding by simply not telling them you are getting married.
Destinations such as Gretna Green or Las Vegas have a whole industry built around weddings and you can source wedding suppliers such as venues, photographers and florists at amazingly low prices.
You can have the wedding away from home and then a party for those who weren’t invited the next week. This means that brides get to wear their wedding dress twice.
You get to have a holiday with friends and family as well as a wedding.
Why be married in the same place as you cousin / sister / friend when you can elope somewhere special and unique to you?
