wedding celebration can range from a two- or three-person party to\na sizable weekend getaway with a few dozen of your favorite people. As a\ngeneral rule, destination weddings have about a 50% attendance rate, meaning\nthat couples should expect around half of their invited guests to make the\ntrek. You might bypass this calculation entirely by only inviting a handful of\nride-or-die family and friends, or plan for a larger and less predictable\naffair with a guest list of 50-75. Whatever your count, consider your guests\u2019\nexpectations in accordance with your budget and bandwidth. Do attendees need a\nstructured agenda of horseback riding and wine tours? A set list of prep tasks?\nAffordable alternatives? If you\u2019re willing to put in the effort for a\ndestination elopement, you\u2019ll need to anticipate logistics for guest\naccommodations, travel hassles, and weekend entertainment. (But we promise it\u2019s\nworth it! There\u2019s nothing quite like the magic and adventure of traveling to an\nextraordinary location with your nearest and dearest.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped
