You're engaged — yay! — and thinking a destination wedding might be the route to take. You're excited and can't wait to celebrate somewhere beautiful abroad. ☀️

But first things first: What's this talk about potentially needing a "destination wedding travel advisor?"

Chances are, you’re choosing to plan a destination wedding because you and your fiancé want to focus on your love for each other and celebrate your commitment with your closest loved ones.

You’re not usually planning a destination wedding, so you can feel stressed out and overwhelmed with managing international travel arrangements for you, your partner, and 45 guests!

So let's talk about how a destination wedding travel advisor (like yours truly 🤍) can help with that!

Let me introduce you to one of my absolute favorite destinations: Puerto Vallarta 🌴

As a destination wedding travel advisor and frequent visitor, I can confidently say that Puerto Vallarta is a must-visit destination. I've visited multiple times and always leave with unforgettable memories.
(In fact, I'm currently in PV right now, so be sure to follow along on my stories this week to get to know the town even better!)

A huge draw of Puerto Vallarta, and why it's just so special, are the incredible excursions and day trips that you can take while you're here. That's why I've put together a list of the top 5 experiences that will make your stay unforgettable.

From tequila tasting to hidden beaches, PV is a city that truly has something for everyone.

Our team here at Alpaca Your Bags Travel may have different opinions about our favorite destination locations, but everyone can agree that Puerto Vallarta is a gem of a city. 😍 (P.S. I'm headed there TODAY! So make sure to follow my stories if ya wanna see why we love it so much!)

Located on the west coast of Mexico, Puerto Vallarta is one of our all-time favorite destinations for so many reasons. Not only does it boast stunning sunsets and intimate beaches, but it also has a lush mountainous backdrop that takes our breath away every time we visit.

Puerto Vallarta is also incredibly LGBTQ-friendly, with the world-famous Vallarta Pride celebration taking place each spring. 🌈 It's a city all about love and acceptance, and we can't get enough of that positive energy.

In fact, I've celebrated some of my most special milestones in Puerto Vallarta — from birthdays to anniversaries and more.

Fun fact: I was even there during the wild ride that was the weekend of March 13, 2020. (You know, the "weekend that changed the world forever" 😅)

Meet Rena and Torrey, a beach-loving couple who knew from the start that their dream destination wedding had to be in Jamaica. 🏖️ They wanted a ceremony overlooking the sea and adventurous activities for their guests, like snorkeling and zip-lining.

That's why we recommended the stunning Secrets Wild Orchid Montego Bay, and it ended up being the perfect fit for their medium-sized wedding! 🌴 Check out our blog (link in bio) to learn more about their unforgettable experience! And maybe even get inspired for your own beach wedding. 😉

If you know you're meant to have a destination wedding and want to tie the knot in a breathtaking location, but having sand between your toes makes you cringe, I've got good news for you! ⬇️

You don't have to limit yourself to sand and surf just because you're having a destination wedding.

There are SO, so many amazing and unique venue options available that will make your wedding day unforgettable. 🤍

Imagine saying your vows in a stunning vineyard, having a romantic garden reception, or even a mountaintop ceremony with breathtaking views... The possibilities are endless, and I'm here to help you find that oh-so-you location that reflects your personality and style.

At Alpaca Your Bags Travel, we've worked with jaw-dropping destination wedding venues that aren't beachfront — ones that will definitely inspire you to think outside the box and ones that won't have you rubbing sand off your feet all day long. 😉

If you're ready to plan your destination wedding travels, let's chat! I've got plenty of ideas brewing already!

A little humble brag: our individual trip packages, like honeymoons, anniversary trips, and family vacations include EVERYTHING you need! Yep — airfare, transportation, hotel, and insurance — it's all included.

Of course, we get that sometimes you want to take charge and book directly with an airline or your travel agent. If you're using a group rate, for example, booking your own airfare makes sense.

That all being said, while booking air is very commonplace these days, there are some tried and true tips from experts like myself.

Even if you think you've got it all figured out, there's always room to learn something new, right? Trust me, you won't want to miss these tips. Swipe to learn more! ➡️

FYI/PSA/ICYMI: Passport processing is delayed again! So if you have spring or summer plans, make sure to check your passports to make sure it's not expired.

As of March 24

✅ routine shipping is 10 to 13 weeks
✅ expedited shipping is 7 to 9 weeks
✅ and you can get your passport expedited at an agency if you have international travel within 14 calendar days

💡 Pro tip: I always recommend sending your application or renewal documents by ExpressMail or any kind of *trackable* method, just in case your documents get lost! Never send by regular mail, it's too risky for a document that is so important. It's also a good idea to check the box for *return* ExpressMail postage.

No one wants to wait on ol' snail mail, let's get your passport in your hands as soon as possible!

This one was an adventure! Picture this: the sun is shining, the waves are crashing on the shore, you’re in a stunning destination location, and your loved ones are gathered around you as you prepare for the destination wedding you’ve been planning for the past year.

Sounds like a dream come true, right? But what happens when an unexpected force of nature gets in the way? Just ask Madeline and Drew, who faced Hurricane Fiona just three weeks before their 115-guest wedding at Cana Bay Beach Club.

It's time to plan your DREAM destination wedding. You and your partner have discussed alllll the things and you're PUMPED about your plans... Until you start sharing the news with your family. 🙃

Objections come at you from all directions:

🚫 "But what about grandma? She can't fly that far!"
🚫 “How much is this going to cost me?”
🚫 “I’m not comfortable traveling internationally. What am I supposed to do?!”
🚫 “You’re so selfish!”

Ummm… Wait, what? 🫣 Safe to say you didn’t see these objections coming.

Or maybe you're in another boat: one where you're actually aware of how your family will react, so you feel like you can't even bring up a destination wedding as an option!

At Alpaca Your Bags Travel, we want you to have the wedding YOU want. But we also understand destination weddings can be intimidating for your family — especially if no one close to you has planned a non-traditional wedding.

As a former destination wedding bride + a wedding travel advisor, I have the professional AND personal experience to know how to navigate these uncomfortable situations.

I also know the way you talk to your family about your wedding plans can make a big difference in how they react to the news.

So swipe through and choose one of these 3 different approaches to discuss your destination wedding plans with your family!

Don't forget to save this so you can practice. 🤍
