Tracy i really apperciate your input. I had no idea addtional people over the 20-25 would cost us more. that is a bit discouraging. I thought this would be the best bet for it to be afforable. and be able to get a honey moon out of it aswell. I sent a message to Wendy and hopefully she can help clear things out.  Question - did you send out invites prior to locking a resort?  and then booked with a confirmed number. Or did you lock in a resort and send out the invites after ? We both have big families so this was a major reason to go away to try and just narrow it down to who we really wanted. But we have alot of friends that all love and care for us. They truly are our family away from acual family.

Hi all! I totally new to this and would love any feedback possible!  I finally was able to convince my Fiancé to have a destination wedding for next year. With how small our budget is of (8,000). We really are having a hard time locking down where to actually have the wedding. There are so many beautiful places and beautiful resorts its overwhelming! Our number 1 location is the Bahamas because its where we had our first anniversary. To keep to the budget we have heard that Mexico is a prime location to have a great wedding for about 40-50 people( I think more 40 will attend) . I’m not sure what is realistic. one of my bridesmaids just had her baby so by the time we travel her son will be 1 for next year. So I believe that sets us only with family friendly resorts? Am I correct?  We would love an all-inclusive resort to have everything covered under 1 price for everyone.  And a place that would offer a great wedding experience for the money. My friend is currently getting married at Dreams Riviera Maya and I just love  what dreams offers,  but the price tag on the resort is a bit steep and we’re concerned that we will get many declines because of the $$ just for the resort.  So our locations are : Bahamas, Mexico, maybe Aruba , turks and…. LOL AHHH the list could just go on and on. If anyone has some input on resorts with great prices I would really appreciate it! Also any thoughts on the seasons? We’ve been reading about better deals for the fall months but does it rain a lot? Anyone had any experience with that? THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!
