Destination Wedding Receptions: Party at Home After Marriage Away

By: Lisa Bower

Who wouldn't want to have their wedding in an exotic or new location? The decision to host a wedding in a distant locale is a great one. However, some people may not be able to come to the wedding, what with rising airline prices, work commitments and family. If you have a destination wedding, you could have a destination wedding reception - where the reception is in a location away from your normal hometown or city - or you could choose to have a reception back home.

If you decide to party at home after your marriage and honeymoon, you can ensure that more of your close friends, family members and coworkers can come to celebrate this amazing moment in your life. Many people may be sad that they missed out on your wedding, and this is a way to include your loved ones without compromising your dream wedding.

If you have a reception back home, you can avoid having to book another set of hotels and you can be sure that more people will be able to come. Destination weddings are a romantic way to marry the love of your life. Having a reception back home will mark your transition to married couple. This way, you can come back from your honeymoon refreshed and ready to celebrate with the people you love.

Also, if you have your reception at home following your destination wedding, you'll have more options open to you, as you'll know the area better. Chances are that if you have a reception at home, friends and family members may have suggestions about possible reception locations. Also, you and your loved one could even have the reception in your home. This will be a chance for people to christen your home as the location of the newly married couple, and you could end up saving money.

If you decide to host a reception back home after your destination wedding, let people know this in their wedding invitations. This way, if people are strapped for cash, they won't have to worry about maxing out their credit card so they can come to your wedding.
