Cherrh - you had asked what the pro's and con's are for a destination wedding. I assure you that the pro's overshadow the con's by a landslide.

First of all, a destination wedding allows you to spend much more time with your guests than a traditional wedding. It becomes a vacation/romantic getaway/family reunion for the people attending so it's almost a given that they will have a great time too.

Second, you will notice some added freedoms to tradtions, decor and favor options. Not all brides want to do a bouquet toss. When your guests are in a tropical local watching fire dancers and enjoying the ocean lapping at their feet, they won't care too much about catching a bouquet. The favors can get really creative and invites too. Destination Romance: Destination Wedding Invitations and Accessories is a great place to find fun and interesting ideas for this!

Also - you tend to spend less because your head count goes down. Destination weddings weed out the people who may not be as important to you, therefore reducing your total guests to only your close friends and family members. The less people that attend, the less you'll spend on food and beverage.

Having a smaller guest list may not be what you are after - so this can also be considered a con.

Another con would include added expenses to guests if they didn't have to travel to your hometown wedding to begin with. If they were traveling already, it really won't make much of a difference to them!
