Hi. My FH and I are only inviting immediate family to the ceremony in Italy. We are doing this because we know the trip is expensive and we are feeling guilty having our close friends and extended family paying all that money for us. My mom says we should still register and have a reception/party back home after the ceremony. I am feeling guilty about this too.

 

Is anyone in the same boat?

Not exactly the same boat but similar. My FH and I invited 36 people to our wedding and probably 20 are going to be able to make it. However, if we could afford it we would have invited 75 people. SO, because we have so many other friends and family we want to include in celebrating our joy we are doing the following: having an engagement party and inviting all 75 people - no gifts which we'll state in the invitations but this at least makes them feel like they are sharing in your joy. Then about 2 months after we return from our DW/honeymoon we are having an at home reception and inviting the same 75 people. I wouldnt feel guilty...your friends and family that love you will want to celebrate with you and they will want to buy you gifts!!! Also, you'll want to register in case you guys have a bridal shower, stock the bar, couples shower, etc. That way you'll get the things you need/want. If you don't register you could end up with a bunch of odds and ends. Just my opinion...hope it helps!

    • 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!
