There are many reasons to celebrate milestones for family and friends. These milestones include birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and graduations among other special occasions. The following are some travel tips for attending to special occasions:-
- Most invitation cards have RSVP. Respond to the invitation in good time whether or not you will be able to attend considering the distance. If traveling abroad, consider how long it will take to get the visa to know if you will make it on time.
- When given an invitation card, research on the venue so that you do not get lost on the big day.
- Inquire if you are allowed to bring a guest (plus one).
- Research on the tourism sites and activities available at the venue of the special occasion so that you make the most of your visit.
- If budget allows, try making an itinerary which will allow you to tour other places after the event.
- Make room for unplanned cost e.g. if there is a delay or the function is extended you might require to be at the venue for an extra day.
- Find out the best accommodation available in order to budget accordingly.
- Pack smart, selecting outfits for the special occasion and for the other activities that follow.
- Choose a light and portable gift and if possible avoid fragile gifts when travelling long distances to avoid breakage.
- Take as many photos as possible to remember the special occasion since some occasions only happen once in a lifetime.
