big destination wedding


Recommended Posts

Use vistaprint, sign up for the emails but don't click on offers at the end. Look for things in dollar sections in stores, the best deals are things that are individually wrapped in the dollar section. Ex I was at Target and the lens wipes were on clearance for $.48 and they come 6 individually wrapped in a box so I can take them out of the box and put one in each bag. Also Staples has penny deals sometimes and you can find things like mini hand sanitizers. And Oriental trading company has great deals too! Good luck!

Since I'm traveling with family and friends I'm assigning 1 bag to them.

 

On AA you can check in 2 bags for free if you're flying internationally. So my family members/wedding party can check in one personal luggage and the other is reserved for my stuff.

 

I used bubble wrap and plastic bins to store my things in, then placed them inside huge canvas bags I bought for $12-15 each at a Latin store here in miami. So far they are working out perfectly. I have 11 canvas bags, total.

 

Everything that's for the OOT bags is spread out between 2 bags which I'm checking in since I'll be arriving a few days before my guests. That gives me the opportunity to set the bags up before they arrive.

 

All the ceremony and receptions stuff is spread out between 9 bags, those will arrive 1-2 days before my acutal wedding date.

 

I don't trust shipping them out because the Hotel is not going to be liable for anything broken or missing.

 

Also, if customs in the foreign country opens the bags, it'll be in front of you, not behind closed doors with the option to really open everything up and decide what they want to keep! Not that I'm saying thats what a foreign customs officers would do but just in case....

 

Tsa, the ones that scan you bags in the US are nicer to your bags if you lable them correctly.

I can't say much about the airlines' Ramp agents! smile116.gifl

For our wedding we're inviting 90 guests, about 70 will be travelling from outside France (England, Wales, Canada, US, Italy to name a few). Can anyone recommend something to make guests feel special on their arrival without costing a fortune?

That's so cool that your wedding is in France! So is ours! It's so nice to see cuz I hardly find anyone on these boards who is having a wedding in Europe. Where in France are you having it?

    • 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!
