My FI's parents are footing the bill for almost everything and we really don't know what kind of gift is appropriate to get them. We don't have a price limit, although I would prefer not to go too far into debt haha. But we really want to do something super nice for them. We're talking beyond engraved photo frames with baby pics (which I absolutely love, but are not nearly enough given how much they're dropping for our dream wedding). We are also giving them a copy of our wedding video and having a special thanks thing to them put into the end of it, as well as a nice coffee table photo album after we get all our photos back. We were planning also on mounting our spanish invitation with a wedding photo and having it framed nicely as one of our Christmas gifts to them for 2008. Anybody got any ideas for a main gift though? Cuz we are just totally stumped on what to get huh.gif

 

i should mention also as a reminder that they live in Mx City...so keep that in mind...

i like this idea... i like it a lot. they will have their 35th wedding anniversary in april this year. but, that said, i feel like with all the insanity we will be going thru that 2.5 days we are there before the wedding, and the fact that my FMIL is essentially acting as my wedding planner, i dont know how we would pull it off. NOTHING gets by this woman, and much of our vendor stuff, she has set up, so everything goes through her. i really love the idea, but i dont know how we would do it without her knowing...

yeah we are, and a family member of my FI's is the priest marrying us, so i know i could talk him into doing it. its just a matter of logistics of how we would pull it off..... i can arrange for a bouquet and everything, i can try to coordinate with my FSIL and FI to pull it off.... hmmmm i have some thinking to do haha and I will talk to my FI to see what he thinks, but I know we will also need to get another gift of some kind....

also, remember my one friend who is bringing her wedding photog boyfriend? he was planning on shooting our rehearsal and i could get him in on it too....

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
