So many ways to make your wedding weekend one to remember, so here are 5 ways to make your destination wedding a weekend experience for your guests.

1. Have a custom map of the area with icons of your favorite places to eat and activities to do for your guests. It could be beautiful and watercolored and a keepsake for your guests too. I highly recommend hiring a artist to do this such as: https://www.sdavisprints.com/
2. Start with events the night before your wedding: Have an outdoor movie night with a snack bar and hire a screen company such as https://www.stellarxp.com/. You could have picnic blankets laid out for all the guests on grass or rent beautiful couches and decor if you want more of the wedding feel.
3. Other activities for the day before the wedding: Hike on the coast, desert or nearby nature area, make your own food tour, kayak on the coast or river or scavenger hunt- you make up one for around the town you are staying in.
4. Day after wedding events: Brunch for family and friends by a pool is the most common or you could just focus on a lunch pool party for guests.
5. Make a welcome basket for your bridal party and close family staying in the area. Ideas for the basket: Local table napkins, cheeses, salty treats, chocolate, Kodak camera for the weekend to film take photos, map of the area, list of places to eat and things to do.

Bonus: On the wedding day allow for room at the start of the day for you to enjoy breakfast with your bridal party and close family with you. It will set the tone of the whole day and keep you feed & hydrated for a while.
