Choose an Off-Season Destination

One of the best ways to save money on your foreign wedding is to choose an off-season destination. When demand is low, prices are often significantly lower as well. You can save on everything from airfare and hotels to restaurants and activities. Do your research and find out when the off-season is for your desired destination. You may be surprised at how much you can save by simply planning your wedding for the right time of year. Also, make sure you send out your Save the Dates Cards early. Some people can't make certain times of the year and this will give you a good indication of who you can expect to be attending.
