    Congrats, and welcome to this conversation. You will find it VERY helpful in planning for your big day!!!!! Let us know anything we can help you with specifcally! 

     

     

    And, you wont really know the actuall cost til the actual date . .just have to budget as you go with the upgrades, etc!!!! I am bringing alot of stuff myself (overlays, napkins, sashes) because it is ending up cheaper and I am very picky on colors, etc.

My Sister had a heck of a time in the past shipping her stuff to Mexico and I am wondering what other people are doing to get there "goodies" down to their destination.

    I highly advise you NOT to ship. I have heard so many horror stories of contents getting stuff in customs and not even arriving for the wedding. I highly advise you to arrange your items in boxes or plastic tubs, making sure each one is not over 50lbs nor $300 value. AND KEEP THE CORRESPONDING RECEIPT WITH THE BOX OR TUB. United Airlines charges $40 for an extra bag . . so we plan to package everything up as I just explained, and then for each box or tub give it to a bridal party member or family member with the $40 cash to bring down to the resort. Seems like the esiest way. Best to create a spreadsheet of what is in what box and label them and who has what. Good luck.

    Luggage Tags:

     

     

    I had a lot of fun with this project.  For the clear luggage tags I purchased ID badge holders from Staples. I think it was like $14.00 for 25 don’t quote me on that though.  The templates I again designed in publisher. I used their blank business card template and then made it slightly bigger.  Print double sided insert into luggage tags and away you go :)
