One of the challenges that often arises when planning a destination wedding is in accommodating to the needs of family members and friends, specifically the elderly. It's important to be sensitive to elderly family members when making plans for your wedding. While they may be willing and able to travel for a destination ceremony, there are certain travel needs that must be factored in for older travelers.
Here are a few helpful hints for including elderly relatives in your wedding planning:
- Be sensitive to the person’s feelings and make sure you find a way to make them feel included even if they can't travel. Keep him/her informed during the planning process and make sure the person is invited to all activities at home before everyone leaves.
- Mention the person during the reception when thanking everyone for coming by stating that you wished the person was here also.
- A special album of pictures can be personalized for the person.
- If a video is available, when returning home, make arrangements to watch the video with the person
