Why this?
Trifold Gown Bag
Our pick: Trifold Wedding Dress Garment Bag, 72 Inch
The destination bride's biggest fear is the dress in checked luggage. A 72 inch bag with a wide gusset folds in three to carry-on size, and crews will often hang it if you ask at boarding. Airlines vary on whether it counts as your carry-on; call ahead. Never vacuum-compress a gown.

Wrinkle Release Spray
Our pick: Downy Wrinkle Releaser, 3 oz Travel Size
A steamer needs an outlet and ten minutes; a spray fixes car-ride creases on a bridesmaid dress in the parking lot. The 3 oz bottle passes the carry-on rule for a destination wedding. Test it on a hidden spot first and keep it away from silk and the gown itself.

Don't forget, nothing to buy
- Some countries require the marriage license or apostilled documents in original form; check months ahead.
- Call the airline about the gown bag; some count it as the carry-on, and most crews will hang it if asked.
- Hotels often charge $3 to $7 per welcome bag to hand out; ask before you assemble sixty of them.
