Explain the arrival, not just the ceremony
Include the destination airport or station if helpful, the hotel area, venue addresses and how guests should reach the first event. Do not publish private booking references or personal travel documents. Link to the official transport source for live timetables.
Label dates and local times
Write the day and date on multi-day events. If guests travel across time zones, say that the schedule uses local venue time. Add the dress code and whether food is included where those details affect what guests bring.
Plan for guests who are unfamiliar with the area
Give a practical note about transport, walking conditions or weather-dependent plans. Confirm accessibility details with the venue rather than assuming them. A simple contact route for questions is more useful than an exhaustive travel essay.
Keep the guide current until print approval
Confirm venues and transport arrangements before exporting. Move details that may still change to a website. For destination events, a final review by someone unfamiliar with the location often catches missing directions.

- Venue names and full addresses
- Transport and accessibility checked
- A current online information source
GOOD TO KNOW
A few things you might be wondering.
Should I include visa or entry advice?
Link to official government information for the relevant destination. Requirements can depend on each guest's circumstances and should not be reduced to a general promise in the newspaper.
Is this only for weddings outside the US?
No. It is useful whenever guests travel to an unfamiliar destination, including a different US city or region.
