Top 8 Reasons to Have an Adults-Only Indian Destination Wedding

We will concede up front that yes, few of us have attended an adults-only wedding. But that doesn’t mean they don’t happen, and it doesn’t mean that you have to allow your guests to bring kids. Adults-only weddings are an awesome emerging option, and while it’s not for everyone, you should definitely give it a thought! Each month, Shaadi Destinations hosts several adults-only Indian destination weddings, and they are always such a blast. Without further ado, here are our top reasons for making your celebration an adults-only one!

1. Many of our favorite resorts are adults only – UNICO 20 87, TRS Coral, Le Blanc Los Cabos, Secrets Akumal, Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana, etc. etc. etc. The list of STUNNING and upscale adults-only all-inclusive resorts are filled with some amazing properties that have hosted our beautiful South Asian destination weddings before.

2. Without much doubt, we can say that most adults-only weddings and events tend to be classier and more sophisticated. From décor themes to the chosen entertainment, to the venues themselves, there is definitely an air of luxury when going adults-only that can’t be achieved as easily when there are kids running wild!

3. If you are late to the wedding search, opening to adults only means more options to evaluate. Especially important this year when we have seen more demand than ever before, opening your search criteria to include adults-only options could double the list of resorts you are reviewing in our “discovery” process.

4. The best part of the wedding is the dancing! Leaving the kids at home does wonders to create an atmosphere perfect for an amazing dance party. It means less kids complaining about being tired and ready to head back to the room to sleep, less parents who have to leave early, and generally more energy that runs later into the night, fueling an epic dancefloor into the wee hours of the morning.

5. Every parent can relate to a dream of waking up to a day where they can relive their 20s and have less responsibilities for just one weekend! It’s time to let these parents have a chance of leaving the kiddos with the grandparents or close family and head to the beach for a weekend to never forget! We promise you are doing them a favor.

6. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Sometimes, it just takes a few days apart to bring a family to an even closer level! You’ll be surprised how much more the kiddos will appreciate their parents after a weekend without them! Again, you are doing your guests a favor!

7. Beyond the vibe, you’ll realize some great budgetary benefits – each child takes up a seat at each event ($) and consumes food ($); plus, the adults-only nature of the wedding could eliminate a few of the families that weren’t essential guests, who you may have only been extending a courtesy invite to. Meaning a larger reduction in guest count and cost.

8. Most importantly, you remove the inherent risk of a child crying in the middle of you reciting your vows. Bliss.
