How did you get all you OOT bags and favors to the resort?


Recommended Posts

I am getting married next month and I have so many things to take with me. Did anyone send it ahead of time to the resort? Which carrier did you use? I have no idea if i can take all of this stuff on the plane with me to RM, MX. What did you ladies do?

My hubby and I hauled everything down to Jamaica in two large suitcases (that weighed in at 49.9 lbs each!). We were told by our wedding coordinator not to ship anything because we would have to pay a tax on everything plus the resort would charge a "storage fee." Despite having all sorts of snacks, toys etc. stashed in our bags, we never had an issue at customs... just told them we were getting married and they waved us through.

 

I would highly recommend enlisting the help of a few close family and friends to transport stuff down (my mom brought down all of our candles, decorations; brothers and their gfs brought flip flop favors, golf balls, real touch flowers etc). Most airlines allow two bags per person on international flights, I'm sure there are plenty of people in your group that will only have a small suitcase or bag of their own.

Artificial flowers used in bouquets that look and feel real... a lot of DW brides use them to save money and have more control over the design, since islands generally have a limited selection of flowers available (unless you want to pay to import them). Here is a link to the vendor I used so you can get an idea as to what they look like http://www.sharonnagassardesigns.com/

    • 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!
