We sent some in boxes and some in bottles by themselves since we ran out of boxes. Honestly, I was a bit upset because I paid basically the same for the boxes than the bottles themselves. I figured it would be cheaper for the bottles but since they are a different size of parcel the cost comes out to about the same. We paid about $1.40 for ea on both bottles and boxes.

 

We used plastic bottles....if you already got the glass you may not have an option and will have to box them up. For the cost it is so much more worth it and looks much nicer wink.gif It was hard making the bottles look nice since they had the stupid stamp right on the bottle

If you order from sandartsupplies.com they have the perfect boxes for the bottles they sell. The bottles are 6" tall, not very big at all and the it fits snugglie in the box. I purchased some shredded paper just in case. I'll let you know how it works out for me. Working on them as we speak.

 

I purchased:

40 bottles and boxes (came with cork)

40 boxes

shredded paper for boxes, just in case

sand

shells

cocktail umbrellas

parchment paper I had

ribbons in colors of wedding

raffia

small charms for the outside

 

I will include a save the date magnet I ordered from vistaprint.com

 

I'll keep ya posted. I'm so freaking excited!

Can't wait to see them come to fruition!

Hey Girls,

 

Just an idea- but in my culture (i'm colombian), its customary to hand deliver wedding invitations.  My FI and I are going to be calling friends and family that live nearby and personally deliver the MIB.  It's really gonna help us cut down on the cost of shipping.  Plus it adds a really nice personal touch!

    • 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!
    • 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!
