Travelling to a wedding

Organising the perfect wedding requires a great deal of planning and careful preparation, with everything from the all-important dress down to table-settings needing close attention. Perhaps one of the most important aspects of the bride and groom`s ideal wedding day is a wonderful venue, and notably more couples than ever are choosing to have their nuptials in beautiful settings such as stately homes and hotels, rather than their local church. The increasingly popular move away from saying wedding vows in the (usually bride`s) local church means that engaged couples no longer necessarily feel tied to having their wedding in their local area, and are instead looking further and further afield in order to find the perfect backdrop for their special day. In this quest for the ideal wedding venue or location, it is now not uncommon for weddings to take place up to hundreds of miles away from where the couple either currently live or grew up.

Frequently then, weddings take place a reasonable distance from the bride and groom`s home town or towns, in areas where many of those attending the wedding may not have previously visited, and are thus not familiar with the best way to get there. With that in mind, it is then crucial that all of those attending the wedding, whether as part of the core wedding party, as guests at the wedding, or as guests at the evening reception, are provided with travel details. If the wedding venue is somewhere easily reached by rail or coach, then providing guests with information on nearby train and coach stations, along with timetables or information on the best places to find them is a good idea. Additionally, giving guests the numbers of a few taxi firms local to the wedding venue is wise, as some may need transport from the train station, for example, or might even be staying nearby. Many people of course choose to drive to weddings, and thus it is important to provide guests with tr avel directions. If most of the guests will be coming from the same place then it might be possible to give directions from that area to the wedding location. Otherwise, directions from the nearest large town or motorway junction are usually sufficient. Also remember to provide wedding guests with the precise address - including accurate postcode - of the wedding venue, as this will be crucial to those who chose to use a route finder or Sat-Nav system to make their way to the wedding.

In the modern world more and more people will have guests are their wedding who are having to fly in from a foreign country. This could be family members that have emigrated, friends that have moved abroad, or even friends made whilst travelling, working abroad, or at university. It is then important not to forget that these guests will require even more detailed and specific travel details, as they as not only will they be travelling from an airport, but they might also be travelling in a country that is foreign to them, and so won`t be familiar with the road layouts, motorways and so on. Equally, if planning to jet off and have a wedding in the sunshine, guests also travelling to the wedding will need details regarding airports and flights, including check-in times. Additionally, many will likely drive to the airport and leave their car there, so information on parking at Heathrow airport, for example, should also be provided.
