TRAVEL TIPS INDEX
Many couples are choosing to plan a destination wedding and save the money that a traditional wedding can cost. In addition to saving money, a destination wedding can be more intimate, romantic and provide less hassle than a traditional wedding. If you are traveling to be a part of a special ceremony, you might wonder what kind of gift to give for a destination wedding.
REGISTRY GIFT
Couples that decide to have a destination wedding still register for gifts at their favorite stores, and you can't go wrong when buying them something listed on their wedding registry. Send the gift to the couple immediately prior to or immediately after their wedding so the couple won't have to transport heavy gifts from the site of their wedding.
MONEY
Money is the easiest gift to give for a destination wedding. A card with cold, hard cash (or a check) in it is easy to transport and the bride and groom will always be able to use it. A suggested cash gift for a wedding gift is $50. If you are very close to the bride and groom, the amount of money that you give could be more.
GIFT CERTIFICATES
Some people prefer to give gifts that they know the bride and groom will use, such as a gift certificate or a gift card to the store where they are registered. Others prefer to buy gifts which the bride and groom would not buy themselves. Some examples are a gift card to an upscale restaurant, tickets for a hot air balloon ride or a gift certificate for cooking classes that they can take together.
