Attending a destination wedding can be stressful to both the bridal party as well as to guests. Even after managing to find some cheap flight deals, you seem to be overwhelmed, over-packed or\u00a0worse still,\u00a0under-packed because you\u2019re uncertain of what you\u2019ll need. Whatever your case of packing-anxieties may be, create a checklist of key essentials; it\u2019ll definitely be helpful while packing. And remember to pack all important and valuable materials in a carry-on bag specifically when going to a wedding!<\/span><\/p>\n

Read below for everything you\u2019ll need to add to your packing checklist.<\/p>\n

What Clothing Do I Pack?<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"checklist\"<\/p>\n

First and foremost, know the dress code and formality of the wedding — guests may be required to have shoulders covered for religious purposes or it may be the opposite, with no preferred dress code. While deciding on what to wear, check out the weather in the place where you\u2019re headed. For women, a bright colored dress or suit is a good option and for men, a light colored suit or shirt and tie is usually appropriate to wear. Remember that your clothing will be stuffed in a suitcase and folded so choose materials that are not prone to tough wrinkles. All attire for the wedding should be in your carry-on luggage, including the shoes you will be wearing. Lastly, include a few strapless swimsuits (to prevent tan lines) for the rest of your time at the beach. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Must I Wear Shoes?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Usually, beachgoers prefer to be barefoot in the sand; however, when attending a beach wedding this should not apply. Guests should wear either sandals or a heel to dress up for the occasion. But, don\u2019t be surprised to see the bride and groom barefoot on their special day. If you\u2019re staying for a few extra days, pack extra comfortable shoes just as you would for a normal vacation. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning to wear jewelry and it is of value to you, then pack it in your carry-on. Hair accessories needed for a beach wedding include hairspray, a curling or flat iron (depending on your preference), a hairbrush, and bobby pins. Makeup along with sunscreen and aloe can be packed in your checked luggage. Match your handbag to your wedding outfit and don\u2019t forget your best pair of sunglasses! Ultimately, it\u2019s best to be prepared than not to be especially if a nail breaks, you get a sunburn, or you\u2019re experiencing a bad hair day (that would stink).<\/span><\/p>\n

Can\u2019t Forget the Electronics<\/b><\/h2>\n

Before you take off with those cheap flights deals for your beach wedding, be sure to charge all electronics (or make sure you can charge what you need on the plane!). We bet you\u2019re going to want to snap away so take your best camera when traveling to a destination wedding. Waterproof cases are recommended to protect your electronics from any damage. Cell phones, cameras, and maybe even a speaker to play music would be the best items to bring along.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Pack Personal Items <\/b><\/h2>\n

How could you forget these! To be packed in a carry-on bag is all item you basically can\u2019t live without such as medication, passport and identification, credit cards and cash. Other replaceable personal items such as hygiene products and toiletries can be packed away in your checked luggage.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Tip for Guests<\/span><\/i>: It\u2019s best to pack your bags in advance to ensure you don\u2019t leave any necessary items behind. Do some research on your hotel or place of stay — you may not need that steamer or that bulky hair dryer if your room provides them for you. Oh, and don\u2019t worry we\u2019re sure the bride is having a much harder time than you while packing!<\/span><\/p>\n

A Tip for the Bride<\/span><\/i>: <\/b>It may seem impossible to forget, but the most tragic nightmare for any bride is forgetting her wedding dress while traveling to her destination wedding location. To prevent this from ever happening, consider shipping your wedding dress along with the grooms\u2019 tux and all major wedding materials to your destination. Turning into a \u2018bridezilla\u2019 before even landing is what we DON\u2019T want to happen. <\/span><\/p>\n
