As an Englishman the tradition of a rehearsal dinner prior to the wedding is something new to me as this is not a part of traditional wedding etiquette in the U.K. and has needed some additional research particularly as to how this normally intimate occasion should or could be adapted for destination wedding events. Traditionally, I understand, it is the groom's family who are responsible for the rehearsal dinner which normally includes only immediate family and those of the wedding party itself. By etiquette neither the bride nor her family should include additional guests outside this group without consulting the groom's family. At a destination wedding, however, it may well be considered...

Many books have been written and much advice given on this subject, but there is no neat one-size-fits-all formula that's guaranteed to work. It's obviously important to consider competitors' prices, the demand for what you offer and how you want to be perceived in the marketplace. What you charge, as well as the quality you provide, can dictate how potential customers will view your company. You might choose to...
