There are some things that you must take with you when packing for a tropical wedding. Firstly, ensure you take all the required documents such as your IDs. Ensure that you pack everything from your wedding checklist to take with you on your trip. Remember, you’ll be miles away from home and may not be able to get that special wedding item that you’ve left, especially if it’s the gown or suit! Please make a comprehensive list. Leave nothing to chance. However, there are other things you must bear in mind when having a tropical destination wedding. See list below:

• cotton clothing (travel light, you can get reasonably priced cotton shirts, blouses, dresses in Jamaica)
• sandals/slippers
• swimsuits
• sun block cream (one that offers protection against short and long range wave UVA rays)
• sun tan lotion
• Mosquito repellants (you may want to carry extra for your guests)
• Map
• Jamaica Guide Book
• Credit cards/ travelers cheques
• Prescriptive medication (if you’re on any)

Enjoy your destination wedding! Remember to take lots of photos!

Jamaica has a tropical climate throughout the year with constant high temperatures and humidity and no seasonal variation. The city of Kingston lies on the dry part of the island, so rainfall is intermittent. The hilly and mountainous sections of the Island are normally much cooler. Cities such as Montego Bay and Ocho Rios virtually have the same weather all year long. The warm weather makes it possible to enjoy the beach at night. When it does rain, showers are short, heavy, followed by sunshine. The rainiest weather occurs in May and June and later in October and November, sometimes extending into December. Tropical storms and hurricanes can occur during the hurricane season, which begins June 1 and ends November 30.
