Gift Basket Ideas for Your Destination Wedding at the King and Prince
Monday, May 23rd, 2011Since you won’t be able to greet all your guests personally upon arrival, a welcome bag (or peach basket on St. Simons Island, GEORGIA) is a great way to touch base with them right away. Here are a few suggestions on what to include.
(1) A Welcome Letter. Tell your guests how happy you are that they’ve made the trip with a short and sweet note. For simplicity’s sake, use your computer to type and print the letters, but sign each on in ink for a personal touch.
(2) A Detailed Schedule. List all of the weekend’s events, including any optional ones. Be sure to mention any extra costs for activities such as tours, lessons, sports activities, and so on.
(3) Key Contact Information. Tell your guests how to reach the people you’ve designated as go-to contacts. Don’t include your contact info — most people won’t feel comfortable bothering you, and you’ll have enough on your mind already.
(4) Map of the Area. The resort and the island have a lot to offer. Make sure your guests make the most of their trip.
(5) Info on Local Transportation. The trolley schedule and the phone numbers of local taxi companies will help your guests get around when they’re on their own.
(6) List of Local Restaurants. Include restaurant descriptions, locations, phone numbers, and price info along with a selection of menus from places that deliver.
(7) Local Entertainment Guide. Pick up the latest copy of Elegant Island Living and High Tide Guide for guests to be in the know.
(8) Thematic Snacks. A taste of locally made food and drink will introduce your guests to the destination’s delicacies and help them avoid raiding the minibar. Try to include both savory and sweet things to satisfy different cravings. And since your guests are on vacation too, it’s nice to greet them with a celebratory drink — a bottle of wine or a beautifully labeled bottle of lemonade.
(9) Destination Essentials. Anticipate little things your guests will appreciate having at the King and Prince: sunscreen and a pair of flip-flops or a visor at the beach; a sweet-smelling bug repellent for the golf course; a token to pay putt-putt down at The Pier. And no matter where you are, disposable cameras and bottled water are always welcome.

All Things Yellow, A Yellow Themed Wedding
Monday, March 14th, 2011If you’ve got it, flaunt it! We at the King and Prince might be just a bit partial to the color yellow since we do have a paint color named after us. This bride and groom might have a few future weddings themed after theirs…
What a fun color scheme to use for your wedding this year! It’s fresh and vibrant and will play well with the setting(s) available to you with a King and Prince Resort Wedding.
Dreaming of a Beach Wedding?

Imagine saying your vows with the ocean as your backdrop. Our outdoor lawn is just steps from the beach and provides just the right amount of casual elegance for your ceremony. This seaside setting works perfect for an intimate gathering or a large affair with 300 guests. Have your reception adjacent to the beach or in one of the many beautiful indoor spaces available.

No matter what space you choose, you can be sure that each one will have a stunning ocean view plus its own unique details such as stained glass windows and crown molding that will add charm to the occasion and make your reception unforgettable.
In addition to the beautiful ocean views, a destination wedding at The King and Prince offers many other benefits too. Having everything in one place allows you to have time to spend with family and friends in a relaxing atmosphere. Pamper yourself and your bridesmaids with massages just steps from the ocean, or enjoy a round of golf with your groomsmen on our award-winning course. You and your guests can savor gourmet meals together without leaving the resort such as our Friday Night Seafood Buffet and our Southern Charm Sunday Brunch. And no travel stress in getting to your honeymoon destination after the wedding – you’re already here! All you have to do is lounge by the pool, relax, and enjoy the view!
