11 Great Ideas to Enhance Your Caribbean Wedding Celebration

Would you like your wedding to be easier, more efficient, more fun, and more enjoyable? Certainly, this is something that every bride and groom-to-be desires for their Caribbean wedding. But how can you make this possible?

Come and take a look at 11 amazing wedding ideas that are going to enhance your experience and improve your planning for that perfect day in your gorgeous Caribbean destination. Each little hack is a step toward your blissful memories.

1. Keep your wedding info all together

As you start searching for wedding ideas and start printing off pictures, prices, and more, you are going to start building up a lot of documents and random pieces of information. To avoid these getting lost or misplaced, create a specific location in your home where you keep all your wedding-related information. This can also be applied digitally. Do your best to keep everything in a folder together. 

This way, whenever you want to go back and search for that thing you saw or had 3 months ago, it will only take you a matter of minutes to find it. 

2. Get a resort wedding and honeymoon package

All-inclusive resorts are known for their very encompassing wedding packages that cater to your every need and take a lot of the work out of wedding planning. Rather than having to search for 10-20 different vendors to get everything you need, you can simply go to a resort like Finest Playa Mujeres. 

Here you can request one of these elaborate wedding packages within the resort which often also include a honeymoon package. In addition, the resort wedding teams can often help you come up with great ideas for your wedding in Playa Mujeres. 

3. Choose a less popular time to travel

For both the best prices and the most enjoyable experience you may consider booking ahead of time during the off-season when there are fewer tourists and guests in the resort. This, on the one hand, makes it easier to get the venue that you specifically want but it also means that on the actual wedding day, there will be less rushing around. 

4. Automate your RSVP follow-ups

Many couples spend an incredible amount of time trying to respond to every RSVP. Depending on the number of guests you have invited, this can be extremely time-consuming and monotonous. 

The good news is however that now thanks to modern innovations, you can save money on invitations by sending them digitally, and then you can automate the responses so that you do not have to respond to each and every one of your guests one at a time. 

5. Get a wedding planner

This step is a must for any couple that wants a smooth and exquisite wedding celebration. Whilst you may know of some wedding planners near you, if you are getting married in the Caribbean, then you should hire a wedding planner who knows the area and has all the right contacts for the place where you are getting married. 

If you are headed to an All Inclusive resort, then they often have onsite wedding experts and wedding planners to help you set up and organize your venue for the perfect day. 

6. Have every guest request a single song

Getting a playlist together can become slightly stressful as you start to consider what everyone will like and what will work for the day. To alleviate this strain, you can simply have every guest request a song or two and turn this into your playlist. 

Everyone will have a song that they really love and you will have all your guests contribute to a fun playlist that takes all the work away from you. 

7. Only invite people you want to invite

Too often, couples are pressured or encouraged to invite friends, colleagues, or extended family members that they do not really want to invite. This is your wedding day and it should only be shared with those you really want to be there with you. 

Remember that if you invite someone to the Caribbean, there is a good chance that they may come, so you need to make sure that you are getting the guest list that you want there in your tropical destination. Make a list with your partner and go through the names so you can examine the reasons behind why you are inviting them. 

8. Make sure your shoes work in the sand

If you are getting married by the beach many people choose to enjoy a barefoot ceremony. However, it could easily happen that you plan a beachfront venue but also have a pair of shoes that you just really love. 

Make sure that whatever shoes you are attempting to include, work with the ceremony, photoshoot, and celebration so that you do not end up breaking your shoes or hurting yourself in the process. 

9. Take the wedding week off

Going straight from work to the airport and straight into your wedding the next day is likely practical but not the most enjoyable way of doing things. Instead, head to your luxury resort ahead of time and enjoy a week of relaxation and pampering in the place where you are going to get married.

Taking this time to unwind, enjoy an upgraded suite, and get ready will allow you to feel amazing on your big day and recuperate your energy beforehand. 

10. Schedule the photo shoot for the golden hour

Whatever time you plan your wedding, keep in mind that the light is going to be continuously changing throughout the day and that this will greatly impact the photos that the skilled photographer will be able to capture. 

The ideal moment for stunning photos is going to be what experts call the golden hour. This is just as the sun is going down and just before it gets dark. This brief period of time is ideal for an amazing photoshoot and may even allow you to include a stunning sunset in your wedding photos. 

11. Book your honeymoon nearby

The final hack for your big day is in regard to the end of the ceremony. When the celebration winds down and your guests are heading back to their suites, it is time for you and your new life partner to begin your honeymoon. By the end of a lengthy celebration and a good amount of eating, drinking, and dancing, you likely will not want to travel far. 

This is why it is a great idea to book your honeymoon in the same resort where you get married. It allows you to stay up as late as you want with your guests and then begin your honeymoon from the comforts of your luxurious suite.
