When attending a destination wedding, it is important that you make sure you know all the details as then you can prepare accordingly.
Attire
It is important that you know the attire for the wedding not last minute but beforehand as this can help you prepare an outfit. For example, if the wedding is a beach wedding, then the outfit you pick will be different than if it were a wedding which took place inside a ballroom. Keep in mind that it is not just the clothes that you have to plan but also the shoes and the jewellery as all these aspects together make up the entire outfit.
If you are wearing heavy jewellery then it is not only the jewellery that you need to decide on but you should also look into how you are going to transport the jewellery. It is not a good idea to just dump it in your suitcase as especially if the piece is delicate, it can easily break. Therefore, instead of dumping the jewellery into the suitcase, putting the items in a travel jewellery case will be better idea.
The duration
Finding out how long you will be gone for is important as then you can do the needful such as taking time off work. For example, some weddings may just be over the weekend whereas others might be a weeklong celebration. Therefore, depending on how long the wedding is for you can then make the necessary arrangements and take time off work.
It is also useful to know how long the wedding is for as then you can pack the outfits that you will need. As it is a wedding, you will likely not want to repeat any of the outfits and therefore knowing the number of events that you have to attend beforehand will be helpful as then you can plan and pack your outfits accordingly.
The climate
Knowing what the climate is like will come in handy as then you will know what to pack and what to leave behind. For example, if it is a cold climate that you are packing for then packing warm clothes will be essential. It will also be a good idea to wear closed shoes that will cover your toes instead of open shows that will expose your feet making you feel cold.
Transport
Figuring out the transport is also another aspect that you should take into account. if you are carpooling with friends, then talk to them before hand and make sure that there is a space for you in the car. When it comes to carpooling, car seats can get filled up quickly, therefore to ensure that you have a seat it is a good idea to plan ahead.
The gift
When taking a gift for a destination wedding, keep in mind that you have to take the gift with you when travelling. Therefore, it is a good idea to pick something that will be easy to carry around with you. You could even gift your friend after the wedding especially if the gift is one that is heavy or a breakable as carrying such an item around with you can increase the chances of it getting damaged.
