Okay girls...I want some advice.

 

We are getting married in Mexico on December 12th. We are doing a site visit on November 15th. We already talked to our wedding coordinator and they will let us bring down a lot of our decorations and supplies for OOT bags and leave them until the wedding. That way we won't have to worry about bringing it all down when we have all our other wedding/honeymoon items packed.

 

Soooo..my question is...Is asking people to RSVP by October 12th waaay too early? I want to get as much stuff purchased and ordered so that we can bring it down during our site visit.

 

I figure if nothing else we would get a ball park idea from the people that are definitely not coming.

 

We are thinking of sending out our invitations within the next two weeks and already sent out STDs in March.

 

Thoughts?

I agree, we are getting married in April 2010 and are planning on asking our guests to RSVP by Jan 2010, that way I have a good idea of numbers when I start confirming plans with the Weddnig coordinator at the restort. Like Meg&Shay said, I think people should understand that b/c it is away, we need to know a little earlier than a traditional at home wedding.

Absolutely not! We are asking for people to RSVP by Oct 1 for a Dec 31 wedding. And actually, I asked for people to contact me by Aug 1 to help me start getting a count. You will have a few people that will undoubtedly respond late, so I say the earlier the better! You have already sent STDs, so people should have been thinking about whether or not they are coming.

I think it is totally fine. Our wedding is 1/23/2010 and our rsvp is 11/15/09. totally understandable situations. I think. But I am expecting people to decide last minute and get last minute deals and that way I will make a couple extra bags!

 

That is totally awesome you will be able to leave your items! where will they store them? make sure they are in a safe place for sure!

I think its perfectly acceptable. Honestly, when people are traveling far distances for a wedding they know quite some time in advance that they are attending or not. Well, at least if I were a guest at someone's wedding that was a ways for me to travel I would be planning on it way longer than a couple months in advance. Go ahead and ask!

    • 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!
