A friend calligraphied 1/2 my invites last night. It's hard to show them, because I avoid posting addresses so this is the best I could do. I kept it really casual with just one envelope & first names.

 

I got a calligraphy marker for $2.50 & realized it's not that hard to do some simple calligraphy.

Here are my first aid kits. Details are here http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...671#post264879

I thought I'd just add what all I am putting in our OOT bags

 

First aid kits

cup with guests names painted on them

small combo master lock for luggage with safety tips

3 riviera maya postcards

OK magazines (from my subscription)

 

 

left to buy/make

 

water & snacks we buy when we get there

spanish to english phrases

tote bags

photo share card

welcome letter

things to do in RM brochure

 

I just did an estimate of what I've spent per pag. This is assuming I'll make 16. I still don't really know who many guests well have. I'm doing 1 bag per room.

 

total per bag

OOT bag 3 postcards per person 10 .63 (with 52 leftover)

OOT bag cups 3.2 .25

OOT bag first aid kits (14) 15 1

OOT bag 96 immodium 10 .63

OOT bags advil 5 .31

OOT bag SPF chapstick (30) (ebay) 7.57 .47 (with 14 leftover- will probably give 2 per person)

OOT bag misc printing 20 1.25

OOT bag totes 16 1

OOT bags master locks (16) 36 2.25

magazines 0

 

I'm at about $8 per bag ($128 ) & I still need to buy snacks to add to it. Crazy how fast it adds up. The locks were the most expensive, but I really like them. I can program the combo to be anything. I really wanted to do what I could to keep our guests stuff safe.

Holy cow $128! Thats great! Hey it rhymed!

 

I put an estimate of 15 pp and expecting 30 but round up to be safe with a total estimate of $500. I think I might go your route to cut my cost in half.

 

I think you got plenty without the snacks. But a wonderful gesture to your guests. They are gonna love you more than they already do!

      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!
