There are so many great reasons why couples choose a destination wedding for their big day. Every couple will have their own; be it the sunshine, the holiday vibes, cost comparison, completely escaping everyday life, and dare we say it, shortening that invitation list. Whatever reason you choose, when deciding on your wedding destination it’s important to bear in mind that it is essential for each and every one of your guests to have a wonderful holiday, alongside celebrating your actual wedding day. This is one of the very reasons that Cyprus is such a wonderful choice of wedding destination. There is heaps to do, for guests of all ages and interests. But don’t forget, it’s also perfect for those who like to do very little on their holiday too – chilling by the pool or at the beach is an easy option here in sunny Cyprus.
What we would recommend is that you don’t overdo the organisation on this side of things. You have enough to think about and the last thing you want to do is stress out your guests by making them feel like they need to stick to an hourly holiday itinerary. Pick one or two organized events that guests can choose to join in with or not, then leave them to sort out their own holiday activities otherwise. Be fun, but be flexible! Trust us, as soon as you land in Cyprus you will notice how relaxed you and your guests become; it’s that Mediterranean sunshine and way of life that we love!
Being based in Cyprus we are perfectly placed to recommend some activities that you can organize or recommend to your guests.
One of our favourites and most popular is a boat cruise. Paphos has a number of brilliant boat cruises that you can choose from including full day cruises, acrobat night tours, adult-only tours and pirate cruises for the little ones! In our opinion though, book the fireworks night cruise for a couple of days after your wedding: an all-inclusive bar and buffet will have everyone up dancing to the fantastic entertainment. It’s great value for money and such a fun way for all of your wedding party to get back together and reminisce over all the highlights of your wedding day, everyone’s holidays and you will be guaranteed to make brand new stories to tell too! Just picture enjoying the sun set over the Mediterranean from the boat’s edge, followed by fireworks in the moonlight with your nearest and dearest in full holiday swing – and, of course, with a frozen strawberry daiquiri in-hand!
