I got my mugs from discount mugs.  If you find ones where the weight is blank the shipping is A LOT cheaper. Shipping for 70 was $29.  I also didn't have any duty fees.  I also waited until I got a coupon. I think it was 25% off, which i haven't seen in the last 4 weeks again.  But maybe if you have time to wait they'll do a promotion like that again.

 

These were the ones I ordered.

We just came back from a wedding in the Dominican (made me very excited for mine in May!).  A bunch of the guests brought the bubba mugs from Canadian tire.  They used them everyday, we also brought our mugs and used them everyday. Their bubba mugs, way better.  Much colder and they hold more.  It made me wish I had bought less little stuff and spent the extra money on the bubba mugs when they go on sale at Canadian Tire. Oh well too late now :)  Mine were still good, and were great for water with ice on the beach.

hey mocha - I found that comparing local companies like Crossbridge printing or CG designs (I think that's their names?) it was still cheaper to order from discountmugs.com *especially with the coupons* but only if you have a US address to ship to.  I ended up shipping mine to an aunt's house in NY and thought I'd rather spend the $300 I would have paid in shipping for totes and mugs on a trip down to NYC!! LOL

All very good info ladies!!!! Thanks for sharing... I do have lots of time to shop around and even thought about doing the "date and names" myself with that scratch on stuff. A friend of mine did that on glasses and it turned out well. Trying to save somewhere ;) I have looked at discountmugs and so far they are cheaper... just have to get them shipped to relatives in the states I guess. Thanks again ladies!!!

kya - Check out the exact mugs that Paper Bag Princess ordered, the shipping is so much lower for that mug. Also, I searched and eventually found a few places that are just across the border that will hold a package for $5 per week. Depending on how far you are from the border, that might work out for you. I will certainly be taking advantage of the service. The place I found is near Niagara.

I don't know if you already found towels - but I looked at towels from toweloutlet.com.  The shipping was a little high but not too bad considering how heavy towels can be - I ordered 48 towels and the shipping was under $100.

    • 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!
