I don't think you need to send invitations either. Everyone who is coming already knows all the details! Plus if you ordered invites they normally come in increments of 25 so you would have a ton extra.

Thank you all so much for the support. I feel so much better about it all! I don't think we're going to do invitations!

 

We are going to do an AHR, but not at home, but rather my parents home. I'm from Tennessee and live in NYC. Part of what turned us off from having a wedding here in the states is the insane cost of a wedding in NYC, and most of my family probably couldn't afford the hotels here anyway! We even started planning, got about $20k in and I freaked out and decided I couldn't do it, that it wasn't me and didn't feel right. So we scrapped it all and started from scratch.

 

I'm not a wedding person, and I come from a long line of not wedding people. Everyone in my family for three generations went to the court house, that's just how it's done in rural Tennessee. My financee, however, is from a very formal New England family, and I think they're somewhat appalled at the whole destination wedding idea, although to their credit, they haven't said as much to me.

 

Sorry, I know this is rambling. It's just amazing to finally find a group of down to earth normal people. You'd be surprised how hard that is here in NYC!

We did not do invites; we annouced to our closet family & friends at our x-mas celebrations that we were going to be having a destination wedding & would love for any & all who could come to attend. We then gave everyone the pertient info & left it at that. Once people were booked they called us & we added them to the "RSVP" list. Easy as that, no invites, no problems :) Destination weddings, IMO, are suppose to be easy breezy, so that's why we did our invites the way we did. Good luck & do what you want, it's your wedding after all smile72.gif

I felt the same way as you about my wedding. We had 16 other people there with us (all family) and we did not send out formal invites or STDs. We basically just did word of mouth and told our parents to pass on to our family and friends that anyone who wished to attend could do so and I would forward the booking information their way. Due to the cost of attending a DW, most people did not express an interest...which was just fine with me! lol I say do whatever you're most comfortable with...anything goes with a DW, especially your own. Good luck! :)

I'm not doing them either... I'm creating a wedding website where everyone can get the required information, but I don't think I'll be sending anything paper out. That just suits our personalities best and I don't think anyone we're inviting would care for an invitation that they'll just throw out.

I considered making a few for the older folks though... that's a definite DIY project since there's only about 1-2 people that would keep an invitation as a keepsake.

      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!
