It’s wedding season all around the world. Whether you’re attending a wedding this year in person or celebrating a loved one’s wedding from afar, you can take part in the joy, traditions and unforgettable moments wherever you are.
Destination weddings turn weddings into vacations but can also be costly if you don’t have a plan. Make the most of your travels by staying organized.
Book travel accommodations early: Flights, hotels and car rentals are often more affordable when reserved well in advance.
Pack with place in mind: Research your destination's weather and cultural customs if you are unfamiliar with the location.
Split costs with friends: Help lessen the financial commitment of travel by sharing accommodations and transportation with your loved ones who are also traveling.
Manage money with confidence: Skip the high airport exchange rates and ATM fees by using MoneyGram to send money to yourself in the local currency as you travel.
Plan gifts ahead of time: Carrying large gifts as you travel can be difficult. Make it easy by sending money to the newlyweds through a money transfer service.
When you can’t be there in person, you can still make your presence felt in other ways.
1. Share a video message
A phone call or text message may not capture everything you want to share during a once-in-a-lifetime event like a wedding. Sending a personal video message can be a heartfelt and memorable way to join the experience, no matter the distance.
2. Host a virtual reception
If several of your loved ones couldn’t attend the wedding, planning a virtual wedding reception can be a great way to ensure everyone has a moment to celebrate love together. Make the occasion even more special by asking attendees to prepare speeches and dress up.
3. Send a gift
Show the newlyweds you care by giving them a present. Money transfers sent through our website or app let you skip a trip to a MoneyGram location and choose the most convenient receive method for them.
