Hi,

 

My name is Rachel. My fiance (BJ) and I have been together for just over 2 years and decided to get married about 2 months ago.

 

We are getting married on Smathers Beach in Key West over my fall break from grad school - October 16th. We are going super simple and laid back with less than 10 guests - just our parents & siblings.

 

feedback.gifWe are planning to have a backyard BBQ style reception in Michigan sometime in early June. So I am also looking for suggestions on how to word a reception invitation. I'm having trouble since the events are so far apart from each other. I don't want to send an announcement out immediately following the ceremony due to our budget (school is expensive).

 

Also, this is my second - his 1st - so should we register for giftshuh.gif

Congrats and welcome to the forum! You will find a lot of great information on here, and I totally understand how being in grad school and planning a wedding can get very hectic. As for registering for gifts I see no reason why you can't but it is always a personal decision.

Congrats!!! You will love all the info you can find on this site. It's very addictive! Enjoy and good luck with your planning!

 

As for registering, I would recommend it b/c otherwise you'll end up w/ gifts that you don't need or do not like. It doesn't have to be announced anywhere but let the parents know so that when someone asks you and they can tell them. :)

      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!
