I Planned an Affordable Destination Wedding Online, Without a Wedding Coordinator


Thanks for the post from Beth Crosby

I can't believe my wedding has come and gone! Because my family is so big, we decided to do a destination wedding inviting only immediate family and a few close friends. We would then plan a big casual pig roast reception back in my hometown where my parents and most of my family still live.

When we returned from Italy after getting engaged, I wanted to start planning right away. I used our satellite internet in Utahconnection to get online. I didn't know where to start! However, after some searching, I found that there are a lot of resources out there.

We ended up planning almost everything online, without a wedding coordinator. We found a website that sold custom message-in-a-bottle save-the-dates for our guests. We found and booked the condo where we'd stay the week prior to the wedding. We checked to make sure there were no requirements to marry on the beach. I researched the best wedding dress styles for my figure and narrowed down my favorites. We booked our flights, ordered our invitations, created our own website, and set up a honeymoon registry.

It was so simple. We were able to plan our wedding just the way we wanted and still remain within our budget. I would highly recommend to any new bride-to-be to do as much research as possible online when planning her wedding. Thank heavens for rural internet service in Logan UT.
