Decide what element of travel you want to focus on as your theme. Is there a particular destination that you want to re-create? Or is it a particular element of travel, such as going on a cruise, that will be central to your wedding theme?

Include the theme of the wedding in the announcements and invitations. If you are planning a cruise-themed wedding, create invitations that resemble a travel itinerary package and an RSVP that resembles a ticket to the ship.

Create the ambiance around the theme. Whether your travel-themed wedding will take place indoors or outdoors, choose decorations that will make your guests feel like they are a part of the world you're trying to replicate.

When you plan your reception, include the theme in your menu, the style of your cake and even in the favors you give to your guests. For example, a wedding with a Mardi Gras theme could feature Cajun food and waiters dressed in appropriate costumes.

Plan to include your theme in the music played at your reception. If you are using a Caribbean theme, play Caribbean music; if you're planning a Vegas wedding, include songs from lounge singers. Taking your guests to the streets of London with your reception? Book a British Invasion pop-rock band.
