What are we talking about and why should you make provision for that?
A wedding does not start or stop at the nuptial vows, the reception, or the party. A marriage is a focal point in one’s social history. A special moment when two people officially and lawfully take their place within the society and gain their “builders of tomorrow’s world” status. As such, socializing with the people you love, prior to your big day, can be a way to start laying the foundations of your future life and make your celebrations uniquely inclusive.
There is a feature about organizing your wedding celebrations in an exotic destination that does just that: The Wedding Week Fun activities.
They allow you to bring your loved ones together, in a place that promises a special experience for everyone involved. And as your guests will have travelled long hours to celebrate with you, one way to show your appreciation is to plan pre-wedding activities with, and for them. Furthermore, doing things together is a real chance of refining and strengthening existing relationships. In fact, the overall social atmosphere will determine how memorable the entire wedding experience will be.
For sure, you will need your intimate bonding moments, like romantic dinners, lovers’ site-seeing tours, nightclub outings and more… But again, it will be also important to make time and space for the friends and family members you chose to invite physically.
In that, the role of your wedding coordinator is crucial. He or she will have the responsibility of planning the week preceding the ceremony and reception, so as to allow your seamless and stress-free interaction with your guests, while making provision to have you both, fresh and shiny for the grand day.

Being tired on your wedding day is the worse thing that could happen to you.

Generally, it will be a combination of discovery outings and nights out over 3-4 days, with in-between breaks that will allow you stay fit.
