| Naturally, many of our wedding ceremonies and
receptions are far from the homes of the couples and their guests.
Inviting guests to a destination wedding is a little different from
inviting them to a ceremony in your home town. Where will they stay?
What will they do?
Below is a little checklist which may be useful.
Our local information page will also suggest
places to stay.
| I. |
Make
sure they know your ‘itinerary of events’, so
that they know when to arrive |
| II. |
Suggestions
of airport to fly into if they are coming a distance –
Edinburgh, alternatively Glasgow. |
| III. |
Directions
from airport and the main roads to the Castle and to nearby
towns and villages with hotels and other accommodation |
| IV. |
List
of suggested hotels and accommodation, with contacts for making
reservations |
| V. |
Information
about whom to contact if there are any problems |
| VI. |
A
list of things to do in the area, if your guests are here
for a while |
| VII. |
Information
on the typical weather, and suggestions for attire, both for
the wedding itself, and for the time they are in the area. |
How do you put this together for your guests? A good idea is firstly
to send their invitation, then a few days later mail out your ‘Guest
Guide’. Most guests will really appreciate the information
- and be less worried about how they received it!
