How far in advance should we plan our Destination Wedding in Slovenia?
We suggest planning no more than 12 months from your departure date, as it may take some time to choose a location and resort. This also allows you, as the host, to provide your guests with sufficient advance notice. Additionally booking in advance may offer travel incentives for early bookings.
How far in advance should invitations be sent for a Destination Wedding in Slovenia?
Proper etiquette dictates that you give guests plenty of advanced notice if you’re planning a destination wedding. This way, they can check their finances, adjust work schedules, and make travel arrangements in a timely fashion. The first step is to send save-the-date cards as soon as you’ve decided to take your celebration afar. Your invitations should then be sent ten to fifteen weeks before the wedding. Include pertinent information, such as flight options, hotel room blocks if any, airport transportation, and a list of activities that may be of interest.
Can trustworthy vendors be found from a distance?
Yes. The best way to find trustworthy vendors is to hire our wedding planner. We are familiar with wedding vendors in Slovenia. We can serve as a liaison between you and your vendors.
Relying on our wedding planner will alleviate much of your planning stress. You can avoid spending hours searching for legitimate vendors and dealing with the complications that may arise when making foreign contracts. By conveying your vision to an in-house coordinator, you can focus on other aspects while he relays your requests to those far-off.
What is destination wedding?
