Three Must-Haves to Bring to Your Destination Wedding

By Michelle Montoya for RainbowWeddings.com

If you're looking to plan a romantic wedding, consider having a destination wedding.  Many couples are choosing to get married in exotic locations, but weddings in Hawaii are still the most popular.  Kauai is the most popular island because of its waterfalls and white, sandy beaches.

Here are some suggestions on what you should bring to your Kauai wedding:

1. Proper clothing.  While in Hawaii, you will have several occasions in which you will have to wear appropriate attire.  You'll need to pack an outfit for the rehearsal dinner, your wedding dress (and other wedding attire - garter, shoes, etc.), an outfit for the reception (if different from the ceremony), and clothing for your honeymoon.
2. Gifts.  While couples typically get a lot of gifts for their wedding, don't forget to bring gifts for your wedding party, your family members, and anyone else you want to thank.  Remember that they're traveling to share your special day with you, and you want to get them something practical and easily packable.
3. An extra suitcase.  You might not get a lot of gifts at your destination wedding (don't plan on anyone bringing you a toaster in Kauai), but you'll probably get some.  Also, plan on buying souvenirs and other mementos to remember your Kauai wedding and honeymoon.  You might even want to bring your wedding bouquet and other items home to save.

If you remember the above, you should have everything covered.  Be sure to get an onsite wedding planner in Kauai to help with the details so you and your fiance can enjoy your wedding and honeymoon.
