Im not paying for my bridesmaids dresses. However I am looking for less expensive options for them, and what will fit in their budget. We are trying to keep it under 200.

 

However, I am buying them gifts as well as Ill be treating them to a pedicure before we leave. Ill be paying for pedicures for My mother, my 3 bridesmaids, myself, my mother inlaw and my FI grandma.  I was going to pay for them to get a manicure or gels as well, but I just cannot afford it.

I'll have 4 BM and I plan on buying (or at least helping) with the cost for dresses. The dresses I'm interested in for them are not very expensive - and I will leave their shoes to them. I feel kind o

@@calgarybride2015 - Good point. I will see what my budget is looking like as we get closer to the date. IF I do get them something else, it will definitely have to be something small and super inexpe

I only have my MOH and brother. My MOH is a student and I know she's making a huge effort to come with us so I'll probably pay for her dress. My brother is a student too so I'll probably pay for his a

From what I see for prices for resort spas, its quite pricey. Plus you will be so busy when you get there is my guess.

 

I personally am going to do it before we leave. We fly on a monday so I will do a day with them on the saturday before we leave :)

I was planning on doing this too... but it is kind of not working out. My FMIL (who I am close with and was intending on treating too) is going a week early, and has already booked her pedicure... I doubt she will want another when we get there! And my mom is the same way. My sister (and MOH) has expressed little interest in it too. SO I thought I would pay for their hair, but now they all want to do their own! So... well, I guess that is one less thing for me to pay for! I am paying for my sister's dress though, so that is good. And for my stagette we are going to a spa, but it is too far in advance (like, a month and a half) for a pedicure or manicure to last. So I guess they are on their own for it!

I think it is a great idea though, and if possible, try to do it ahead of time. Plus, what a great way to relax with the girls during last minute planning and prep? Awesome!

Oh no!!! I havent brought it up with any of my girls yet, I hope they will be interested! My FMIL doesnt live here so she will not be joining unfortunately. I totally agree it will be a nice way to relax before leaving especially in the dead of winter (I see you are in Southern AB- I am in Calgary) so we know how cold it gets!!

      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!
