Hello. I am about 6 months out from my wedding and have decided to change the location from Negril to Montego Bay. We are keeping the same dates. Invitations have not yet been sent out but we did send out the STD's and have our website up. Only about 4 couples have booked so far.

 

How best to handle this? Do we just revamp the site and send out the actual invitations with the new information on schedule? Or do we need to do anything else specifically? Do I need to get into detail as to why we are changing locations? (Not happy with management of the current place, plus found a place we just like better and it is cheaper for our guests).

 

I also want to make the process as easy as possible on guests who have booked.

I agree with Megan. Just help out your booked guests & send out the new location on the invites. I actually even changed the DATE after I had STDs out! It was no biggy because no one had booked anyway - and the date didn't make a difference to anyone (that I heard of anyway!) Don't stress about it - it will be just fine!!

We also changed the location of ours. We sent out a letter with a short explanation of why and included information about the new resort location as well as the new travel info. We also added a small note that a new formal invitation would follow. However, at that point none of our guests had actually booked yet so was not as much of an issue. (If they had, we would have helped them with the rebooking.)

My advice would be to give a short sweet explanation of why you are changing. (You KNOW people will be wondering and questioning...lol.) I would include some info about your new location to all. For the ones who have already booked at the old location, I would offer to help them rebook. I would also update your website with the new information.

It will all work out just fine. If they are invited, they are people that love you so don't stress.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      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!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      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!
