Galley Gossip: 5 tips for traveling with a wedding dress

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

I say send the dress and his tux, his/her shoes, vails and also the "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue" stuff as far ahead with FedEx/UPS as you can! Most hotels that know they have a wedding party coming to stay with them will more than likely hold it for as much as a week ahead of time. Also if there are any weather issues where you live or were you are going, you are giving your dress ample time to get there. (Fellas this includes your tux, shoes and any accessories you may need)

Send it express (service level) not ground, even if your close...state or two away. The express side handle packages a little bit different than in a ground trucking situation. Spend the extra money and get it there quick with a buffer of time in place, that way if for some reason it gets damaged or lost you have time to go to a plan be, give the cargo companies time to find or fix the problem.

Track your package and send it to a contact at your destination that can let you know when they physically have it in hand and they can see if the packaging has been damaged or is ok. Also you can pay for the return shipping in advance too so when your all done with the wedding festivities you can ship it home, friend or families home till you arrive back home and your not having to worry about it while your in honeymoon mode...You have other pressing business to worry about! LOL

Good luck to all the soon to be married couples and remember planning ahead and thinking outside of the box will save you from headaches in the long run and you can enjoy your day stress free!
