How Big Should a Destination-Wedding Party Be?

Destination-weddings are really great if you want to make your Big Day a truly special experience for everyone involved. However, these weddings are frequently surrounded by a completely different set of rules of etiquette – so it is highly important that you are prepared and know exactly how to plan everything.

For example, do you know how big should a destination-wedding party be? We have gathered some tips to help you answer this question – so read on if you want to find out more.

  • The official stand is that you can have as many bridesmaids and groomsmen as you want, regardless of whether you plan on having a destination wedding or an “at-home” event. Also, you can have as many ring bearers, flower girls, ushers and junior bridesmaids as you want too.
  • However, it is also important that you consider the number of your guests. If you are like most of the brides planning a destination-wedding, you will most likely keep your headcount in the lower numbers, precisely because you want your event to be more intimate.
  • Plus, having more wedding party members also means that you might have to spend more as well. The bouquets, the boutonnieres, the gifts and all the other expenses that should be covered by you will be much higher if you have a lot of wedding party members.
  • Our advice is to think very well of this. You don’t have to have the same number of bridesmaids and groomsmen, but the overall headcount of your wedding party should be in concordance with your guest headcount and your budget.
