T he Bride Guide!A Summary of Practical Information

SELECTING YOUR DESTINATION

Your destination choice should reflect not only yourpersonal desires and preferences, but those attributesthat also make it the best location for your guests.You’ll want to make it easy for them to say “yes” toyour invitation.

The rule of thumb is to select three destinations that fityour plans. If friends and family are huge Puerto Vallartaor Los Cabos fans, or just love Jamaica or Cuba, yourdecision is immediately easier. Due diligence alsoplays a big role. If you and your guests are golfers,divers, shoppers, club fans and/or soft adventuretravellers, undertake research on links, dive and snorkelsites, best shopping, nightlife and destination thrills andchills within the three destinations under consideration.

The destination that meets the greatest level of “musthaves, really wants, and absolutely perfects” deservesthe nod.

SELECTING YOUR RESORT

Sunquest’s Wedding Guide and Sun brochures aregood places to start. Consider the following:

Is a small and elegant resort your personal preferenceor is your group all about big, splashy mega resorts?How many guests are you anticipating? If children arenot a factor, you might prefer an adults-only property.If kids are involved, check into babysitting services,kid’s clubs and activities. Friends with varying pocket-books always appreciate a variety in accommodationstyles and prices. Build your list of “must haves andreally wants” and once you begin to narrow yourchoice, ensure your chosen wedding date is availableat the resorts on the short list!

The Reception Dinner can be pre-planned based onmenus and venues provided by your WeddingCoordinator. Speeches are a consideration if youare in a semi-private dining room. Inquire about apost-dinner venue where the hotel sets up celebratorybeverages and speeches are then delivered.

Number of weddings. Some resorts schedule amaximum number of weddings per day; three forexample. Some have one. This will depend upon thedestination, the number of guests and the season.Weddings are also performed during specific periodsof the day and evening, and resorts have maximumguest capacities. All excellent reasons for planning asfar ahead as you can.

Ceremony locations. In general weddings are held inon-property chapels, beautiful seafront gazebos,terraces, or of course the beach itself. Occasionallythe size of your wedding will dictate the location andthe style of decoration provided.

Day passes. Wedding guests usually stay at the sameresort as the bridal couple, however, they may alsochoose to stay elsewhere. In this instance, hotels mayrequire non-resident guests to purchase a resort daypass to attend the ceremony and festivities. When itcomes to free weddings, some hotels stipulate thatyou must have a certain percentage of the guestsattending your wedding accommodated at the resortwhere your wedding is to take place. All worthchecking into.

CHOICE IN CEREMONIES

Civil wedding, religious wedding, symbolic wedding,renewal of vows. Requirements regarding types ofceremonies vary between destinations. In somecases, they are very few, in others, several. All caneasily be managed through a conversation on yourchoice of ceremony with the on-site Wedding Coordi-nator. Some couples choose to marry in Canada andthen head to the sun for a “symbolic” event with all theceremonial bells and whistles just for the pure joy ofthe destination wedding experience.

It is important that you are clear on the weddingservice you are requesting and that the information youhave is the most current. Your Wedding Coordinatorcan provide details.

BUDGETING

Be thorough and be thoughtful about exactly howmuch you wish to spend before you begin seriousplanning. Factor funds for unexpected possibilities,opportunities, and contingencies.

The list of frills to be added to your wedding isextensive at most resorts (bands, dance floors,horses and carriages, high-end champagnesand so forth). In most cases, the cost won’tbreak the bank but keep a steady hand onthe helm to avoid any financial surprises.

With such affordability available throughoutMexico and the Caribbean, youmay choose to cover the travelcosts of your bridesmaids andgroomsmen, or perhaps for otherimportant guests who otherwisecould not make the trip.

Be clear to guests about what youwill pay for (much less a concernwhen staying at a Sunquest all-inclusive resort). Tell bridesmaids,groomsmen, and parents of anyflower children whether you’recovering wedding party travel(and any other expenses) at thetime you invite them to participate.

DOCUMENTATION

Documentation requirements varyby destination as does the periodof time you need to be in the desti-nation prior to your wedding (timingcan also depend upon the type ofceremony chosen). Ask yourWedding Coordinator for guidanceand start the process of gathering therequired documentation early.

WEDDING COORDINATORS

We cannot over-emphasize the value of havingan on-site Wedding Coordinator. Stressis less when a knowledgeable destinationprofessional manages your event. Be preparedwith queries when you make your initial contact.Build a comprehensive list of questions andprovide your wedding date, anticipated guestcount, a clear idea of the event you seek, andyour most realistic budget estimate. Ask aboutspecial services – for example does the resortprovide a private website so that friends whoare unable to attend can watch the weddingfrom home? Ask for photos or a websiteaddress showing ceremony sites, decorations,cakes, optional add-ons etc., and stay intouch. It’s nice to already have a goodrelationship established when you get there.

THE GREEN SCENE

If protecting the environment or giving back insome way is part of your wedding theme, besure to ask your wedding coordinator whatchoices you can make to keeping things“green.” There’s some good ideas out there.

CHECK IT OUT

Consider doing a “site inspection” to check outthe resorts under consideration. Many bridalcouples plan a two-week wedding and honey-moon. They spend the week leading up to thewedding day enjoying the resort, resting andtanning, testing hairstyles, make-up,

potential excursions and meeting the WeddingCoordinator to finalize the ceremony venue,flowers, cake and any incidentals. You’ll bothbe gorgeous, cool, calm, collected when yourguests arrive!

ADVANCE PLANNING

Most experts will tell you to begin planning oneto two years prior to your wedding date. Thisis optimum, and not carved in stone. However,if there is a lot to be done, and you have veryfirm ideas on what you want, the sooner youget things under way, the better. Destinationweddings are becoming more and morepopular and the top resorts are booked wellin advance. A word to the wise.

COMMUNICATE CLEARLY WITHPOTENTIAL GUESTS

If you will not be covering the costs for yourguests, before you invite friends to stand-upfor you, speak to them regarding yourintentions and destination possibilities andfurnish estimated costs so if money is an issuethey can decline comfortably.

SEND OUT A “SAVE THE DATE”ANNOUNCEMENT

Once you’ve confirmed your date (or the weekof your wedding if you can’t be 100% specificabout the actual day) send out a Save TheDate announcement to guests to allow inviteesto plan for any expense. If it is a small, intimate

affair, a personal phone call shoulddo it. If you have details on thedestination and resort at this point,tell people a little bit about the funthat awaits them.

SEND OUT INVITATIONS 4-6MONTHS IN ADVANCE

Include the name, phone number,address and website of the travelagent who is managing your traveldetails with Sunquest and also thewebsite of your hotel. In manycases, the bridal couple set up theirown website with detailed informa-tion on the destination and itscharms along with other informationthey wish to impart.

DON’T BE DISAPPOINTED

You already know not everyone willhave the available time off work or

the funds to join you, but you can also expectto be very pleasantly surprised at the numberof friends and family who will jump right in andbe there for your great day.

AISLE STYLES

First and foremost, consider your comfort.You truly do not want to be perspiring andover-heated (dress shields are a goodidea in any event). Designs with fabricsappropriate to tropical climes are far moreavailable than in the past and are certainlyworth investigating during your search for theperfect wedding dress.

There are really no fixed rules regarding whowears what and you can dress in whateveryou like, (you’ll often see brides in elaboratewedding dresses with grooms in casual pantsand shirt). However, the rule of thumb is forthe groom’s apparel to match the bride’s style.If you plan to wear full bridal regalia with allthe trimmings, a suit or tux would be greatfor him.

Some brides plan on two outfits. A gown for theceremony and photos and something colourful,tropical and frothy for the events following.

Practical information continued…

TRASHING THE DRESS

If you are considering leaping into the surfor rolling in the sand following your nuptialsand don’t want to ruin your wedding dress,pick up a “previously loved” gown for this partof your event. Check with a dry cleaner to seeif your original dress can survive a dousing.You can stage your ‘trash the dress’ momentfor your photographer the next day if hairand make-up are important to you on yourwedding day. Have fun!

PACKING THE GOWN

Check with the airline to see if there is an areato hang your gown or whether there is a policyregarding this issue. Some brides havetheir dresses vacuum-packed to fit in theirsuitcase. Others commandeer an overheadbaggage compartment for their gown (put asign on it - Wedding Dress, Please Don’tDisturb! – and who would dare). We haveheard of the rare and very brave bride whohas couriered their dress to the resort. See ifyou can have your wedding attire pressedat the hotel (many weddings already includethis service).

PACKING FOR THE BIG DAY

Check. Check. Check. You do not want toforget your favourite earrings. Which remindsus, take extra earring backs, everything forperfect nails, fingers & toes (even withpre-wedding mani/pedis chips & problemscrop up). Take a Tide pen, a sewing kit,envelopes for tips if you are so inclined,bug spray, eye-drops for teary red eyes,peroxide for removing blood (pinprick froma boutonnière) and double-sided tapefor droopy hems.

PHOTOGRAPHY

A specific number of photos may be includedin the wedding package you select. If notincluded or you want more than what’sprovided, check out the prices for the resort’sown on-site photographer. It is not unusual forbridal couples to take their own photographerfor the occasion (check with your WeddingCoordinator if this is your plan).

MUSIC

Many hotels suggest you bring your ownCD(s) and others offer live music or iPodsound-docks. Add this to the list of questionsfor the Wedding Coordinator.

GIFTS RECEIVED IN DESTINATION

Sort this out before you go as no doubt therewill be some well-meaning souls who willarrive with a gift in tow. Send gifts home viacourier, or ask guests returning to your home-town to manage a few for you, or bring anextra bag to carry them home yourself.

GIFT BAGS TO WELCOME YOUR GUESTS

A small “goodie bag” or gift basket in eachguestroom is a lovely surprise. Perhaps aspecial tanning lotion and fragrance andalways a “welcome, and thanks for beinghere” note from both of you. Include a listof tours and experiences, or better still, acomplimentary tour as a thanks for coming(a group rate may be available for you).Wedding Coordinators have great ideasand can arrange this charming touch atmost resorts.

POINT OF VIEW

Things may not always go as quickly as youmay like. Allow for plans to be fluid as youmay find that certain components cannot befinalized until you are in the resort. That is theway it is. Be your gracious self. This is one ofthe most important days of your life.

Enjoy every minute! And remember to eat!
