Destination Weddings

In tough economic times, brides are looking for more ways to save a few dollars on their wedding expenses.  A new trend among conservative budget brides is destination weddings.  Destination weddings combine the costs of a wedding with the costs for a honeymoon, usually a fair amount cheaper than the average wedding.  Also, what's more romantic than getting married on an exotic beach at sunset?

If wedding guests are an issue, why not only invite a select few?  Most people will pay for their own airfare and accommodations, and it will help weed out the guests who are only going for the free alcohol.  With the money you save, you can afford to pay for a few select individuals who's presence is required (i.e. parents).
