5 Things to Include in Your Loreto Mexico Wedding

As destination weddings have become increasingly popular, smaller cities along Mexico’s golden coast are becoming the choice locations for couples who want to escape the crowds and say “I do” on tranquil beaches. Loreto Baja Mexico is nestled on the Sea of Cortez and holds both quietly charming colonial streets and elegant world-class resorts. Choosing Loreto for your destination wedding gives you the romance and beauty needed for a picture-perfect day, and including these five things will personalize your beach wedding to tell your love story.

1. Welcome Baskets

When family and friends from around the world land in Loreto, be prepared to welcome them to paradise. Destination weddings are so much more than a ceremony; they’re days spent celebrating love and exploring new cities with your guests. To kick off the celebration, have each of your guests’ rooms prepared with a welcome basket. These can include anything from sunblock to mini bottles of booze or personalized wedding sunglasses and flip flops, all showing your family and friends how glad you are to have them with you for this day. If you go this route, make sure to include a list of the best tours and restaurants around the city so that your guests know what to do in Loreto when they aren’t at your wedding. 

2. Group Activities

Whether your guests are in Loreto Baja Mexico for a weekend or an extended stay, planning out group activities will make your destination wedding an event to remember. Since everyone has traveled to be here, make the most of your time together and enjoy a little break from the stresses of planning a wedding. Going kayaking together or inviting everyone for a round of golf is the perfect way to start to blend two families together. At dinner each night, aunts and uncles can swap stories and get to know future in-laws. See activities and tours in Loreto Baja California.

3. Unique Touches

There are lots of things to include in any wedding ceremony depending on your culture and religion. While traditional elements celebrate the significance of marriage, including unique touches in your ceremony makes it a reflection of your love. Unity sand ceremonies, personalized vows, and even special songs or poems allow you and your partner to make the day about your relationship and the commitment you’re making to each other. 

4. Marriage License

In all the preparations for the big day, don’t overlook the marriage license. When you choose a destination wedding in a foreign country, you have a unique option: getting legally married in that destination. Having a marriage license from Loreto Baja Mexico officially ties you together and serves as a special reminder of your wedding day and the commitment to love and faithfulness you made. Getting legally married in Mexico takes a few extra steps and paperwork, but working with a wedding planner who has experience with international couples will streamline the process. 

5. Toasts

During any wedding, there’s plenty of time for toasts. While the most memorable are probably from the maid of honor and best man during the reception, there are traditionally toasts during the wedding rehearsal dinner as well. To allow your family members to make meaningful toasts, you can ask them ahead of time, which will give them time to think and write. 

While most wedding to-do lists include buying dresses, ordering flowers, and hiring a photographer, it’s easy to get busy and overlook the things that make destination weddings unique. By including these five things, you’ll be putting your own special touches on the day and creating another romantic and exciting chapter in your love story.
