Half a million couples will celebrate a destination wedding this year while 55 percent of couples have considered eloping because wedding plans have gotten out of hand! A four-day wedding weekend can cost less than a meal and reception for 150-200 people at a luxury hotel in New York.
Some of the leading destinations for weddings are:
~ Las Vegas, 100,000 weddings performed annually
~ Hawaii, 20,000 weddings performed annually
~ U.S. Virgin Islands, 5,100 weddings performed annually
~ Jamaica, 5,000 weddings performed annually
~ Bahamas, 4,000 weddings performed annually
The etiquette of a destination wedding generally calls for invited guests to pay their own airfare, while the bride and groom pick up the tab for the lodging, food, and beverages at an all-inclusive resort - but couples can now find alternatives to offer their guests discounts on hotels and flights.
