Destination wedding invitations for beach getaways, mountain celebrations, and international adventures. Available as digital or printed cards, with coordinating designs for your save the dates, wedding website, and full stationery suite.
Design follows the destination. The strongest destination wedding invitations don't just announce where you're getting married — they make guests feel it.
Tropical and beach destinations. Clean designs on white or ivory stock with botanical or watercolor accents work best. For Caribbean, Hawaii, and coastal Mexico settings, explore tropical wedding invitations. The Nova and Sienna collections read effortlessly warm without being kitschy.
European and vineyard settings. Classic serif typography, muted palettes, and fine paper. The Austen and Audrey styles suit French countryside, Italian villa, and Spanish estate weddings, restrained enough for formal ceremonies with enough texture to feel designed.
Mountain and winter destinations. Dark and textural: deep greens, navy, black card stock. The Cleo Avaron collection is a strong fit for Colorado, Swiss Alps, and Pacific Northwest settings. See mountain wedding invitations for the full range.
The most important etiquette consideration: your guest list should reflect who you genuinely want at a multi-day celebration. Destination weddings are naturally smaller. Keeping the list tight is expected, not rude.
Guest communication matters more for destination weddings than for local ones. Include hotel block recommendations, local transportation options, and a weekend itinerary. Put these on an enclosure card or direct guests to your wedding website. Guests should not have to search for logistics after opening your invitation.
Send invitations to your full A-list simultaneously. Staggered invitations, where you wait to see who declines before inviting others, creates problems when guests compare notes, and at destination weddings, they will. For a full overview of what's expected at each stage, see our wedding invitation etiquette guide.
Destination wedding invitations go out 12–16 weeks before the wedding date, significantly earlier than the standard 6–8 weeks for local weddings. For exact send windows, save the date timing, and RSVP deadlines, see the full when to send wedding invitations guide and the wedding invitation timeline.
Printed destination wedding invitations at Bliss & Bone start at $257.50 for 25 A7 (5×7-inch) one-ply cards. Letterpress and foil finishes increase the price; the online builder updates your total in real time as you customize.
Digital destination wedding invitations start at $1.20 per recipient for 1–9 guests, or $0.90 each for 10 or more. For a 75-person list, digital runs about $67.50 with no printing costs and no postage.
One clarification that saves most couples money: one invitation per household, not per person. A couple shares an invitation. A family at one address gets one. Most couples send 30–40% fewer invitations than they initially plan for.
Destination weddings have more touchpoints than a local celebration, and coordinated stationery makes the whole experience feel intentional.
The full suite typically includes destination wedding save the dates (send 12 months out), formal invitations with information cards (6–8 months out), a wedding website guests can revisit for travel updates, and rehearsal dinner invitations for welcome events the night before. Every Bliss & Bone collection offers matching designs across all four pieces.

Send destination wedding save the dates 9–12 months before the wedding. International guests need time to book flights, arrange accommodations, and request time off work. For popular travel periods like peak summer or major holidays, 12 months is the safer target.
A destination wedding invitation needs the couple's names, ceremony date and local time (including time zone), the full venue address with country, RSVP deadline, and your wedding website URL. A separate enclosure card should cover accommodation recommendations and travel logistics. Keep the invitation card itself clean.
Both are appropriate. Printed invitations signal formality and suit black-tie and formal destination weddings well. Digital invitations are faster, more cost-effective, and practical when guests are spread across multiple time zones. Many couples send digital save the dates and printed formal invitations, using each format where it performs best.
