How to Get Everyone Involved in Your Destination Wedding

Just because you’re getting married abroad, it doesn’t mean that you can’t get everyone involved with your special day. Getting everyone involved in your special day can make the event even more meaningful, while everyone feels included in the adventure. Here are some fun and creative ways you can get your friends and family involved in your destination wedding.

Let them be part of the planning

You don’t have to keep your planning under wraps. Get your friends and family involved in making key decisions such as, choosing the wedding playlist or brainstorming some fun activities to do on your wedding day.

Create a wedding party group chat

We all know that there’s a WhatsApp group for just about everything, but this one is essential! Create a dedicated group chat for your friends and family to keep everyone informed and engaged. Use it to share important updates, coordinate travel plans, and build excitement with a countdown to the big day. It’s a great way to ensure everyone feels involved and connected throughout the journey.

Give them special roles

Just because they aren’t bridesmaids or groomsmen, it doesn’t mean that they don’t have to be part of your wedding day. Here are a few ways to involve them in your day:

  • Master of Ceremonies (MC): A lively friend or family member can help host and keep the energy up during the reception.

  • Reader: Have a relative or friend read a meaningful poem during your wedding ceremony.

  • DIY Assistant: If you’re bringing any personal decorations or wedding favours, enlist some friends and family to help set it up.



Plan group activities

Destination weddings offer a unique opportunity for group bonding. Arrange fun pre-wedding activities like:

  • A group welcome dinner before you wedding day in-resort

  • A group excursion before and after your wedding day, such as a boat trip

  • A relaxing spa day before your wedding

  • A post-wedding brunch to thank everyone for coming along.

By booking an all-inclusive holiday package for you and your guests with The Wedding Travel Company, you can enjoy many of these activities seamlessly. Our wedding planners will take care of both your wedding arrangements and holiday packages, ensuring a stress-free and coordinated experience for everyone.



Personalised gifts for your friends and family

Show your appreciation for your friends and family with thoughtful gifts. Consider destination-themed gifts like:

  • Matching sunglasses or robes for the wedding morning

  • Travel essentials like personalised luggage tags.

Capture the memories together

Encourage everyone to capture candid moments throughout the trip. Set up a shared wedding album where everyone can upload their photos. You can also hire a videographer or content creator to create a highlight reel featuring all the fun moments before and after your wedding.

Making It a Wedding to Remember

A destination wedding is about more than just the ceremony - it’s about creating lifelong memories with the people who matter the most. By involving everyone in creative ways, you’ll make them feel like a special part of your big day.
