Does your destination wedding need to have a “destination” theme? Not necessarily. It is really up to you and your personal taste. Don’t feel that if you are having a beach wedding you need to have palm trees or flip flops on the invitations!

In this case the venue, invitations, decor, flowers and attire generally fit with the theme, however, a theme doesn’t have to be this specific.

Additional Information Cards

WBOct09_MapDirectionsMany people are confused as to whether they have to include a map with their wedding invitations.
