We had a child free wedding and fortunately didn’t run into any of the sticky situations mentioned here but I wish I had had this article before doing any wedding planning!ReplyCancel

SUCH good advise! I always recommend my couples to be as clear as possible with what they want for their wedding day. Mentioning ADULTS only is a huge help for parents as they know they will need a babysitter or just won’t be able to come! ReplyCancel
Jennifer Beckton

I love all of the tips on how to plan an adult only wedding. I have photographed a few and they are always a ton of fun. Colorado is lucky to have you as a wedding planner and photographer. These are some beautiful images. ReplyCancel

What a helpful blog! I agree with you. Clear communication is KEY, especially with things like adults only weddings and whether or not someone is allowed a plus-one. While it might not look really pretty on the invitation, it can save a lot of confusion and hurt feelings. Well written! ReplyCancel
Jess

Wow! Great advice on an adults only wedding. I have actually never been to one so I wouldn’t have known what to expect. I do think the couples have to put more effort into showing grace and kindness in these situations, and it is great to know how to do that with your adviceReplyCancel

A lot of this I would have never considered in planning a wedding, having no kids myself. It totally makes sense that it would be a sensitive issue to some. I love how you emphasized to hold your ground. Explaining that this would be a GREAT excuse for parents to take a break and relax/romance for the day would help too. ReplyCancel

These are SUCH important points! Altitude sickness is definitely a real thing and should be taken seriously! Great post! ReplyCancel

Great tips! Guests coming from out of town or couples who have their destination weddings in CO don’t always realize the impact that the altitude can have. Especially if there is drinking involved. Altitude sickness and a hangover are not a fun combo for anyone.ReplyCancel

thank you so much for all these great tips. I still remember when we arrived to Cuzco (Peru) I felt like I couldn’t breath and my head was pounding with a headache! It’s always important to pace yourself and drink a lot of water. ReplyCancel
Alison Rost

Great pieces of advice. It would be a dream wedding to exchange vows with the one you love and have the mountains of Colorado in the background. However, family and guests should be made aware of altitude sickness to avoid any unwanted incidents that may ruin the couple’s special day. ReplyCancel
Meg

Thank you for sharing all the great pointers! I’ll be sure to remember this next time I’m in Colorado! I honestly didn’t even realize altitude sickness is a thing! I’m from the flat midwest so not much altitude around us! ReplyCancel
