Hi ladies,

 

So this past weekend, Eric and I set up our registries.

 

We had decided that we didn't want gifts because everyone would have to pay so much to travel to Mexico, and, we're living in a tiny flat in London, but not sure how long for, probably moving back to the states in a year or so... so accumulating lots of stuff is a pain -- not to mention the fact that we've both lived on our own for a long time, so we have everything we need.

 

But, for those people that still want to give, we decided to do charity registries, we registered at:

 

Donate Money to Charity - Charitable Giving - Donation - Give to Charity which is a list of charities you can keep as your registry for people to make donations to

 

and then

 

ChangingThePresent which is actually more like a real registry, you pick items and people buy them.

 

We are really pleased with this idea, because we are really serious about not wanting gifts, and think this is a lovely way for people to spend their money if they want to.

 

Problem is -- people keep telling us we HAVE to register, that people are going to buy us gifts no matter what we do, so we should register in order to avoid getting crap. But, I think if we register, that's sending mixed messages, adn then the people that would be okay with not getting us stuff, will feel like they have to get us stuff.

 

What do you think?

    • 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!
