Destination Wedding Advice
“When it comes to destination-wedding invitations and paper goods, I always encourage couples to do two things: have fun and educate your guests! Have fun by including characteristics of the destination (a gorgeous rendering of your location, for example), and educate by including information that is helpful to them (like dress code or great places to visit in town).” – Michelle Durpetti of Michelle Durpetti Events
