So after losing my original drafts on my passport info books, boarding pass reply cards and invitations due to hard drive crash, I am almost finished my invitations.

Everything has been printed, cut and put together ... now all I have to do is staple the passports together, and roll the messages in a bottle.

Here are a few pics of my DIY night last night with one of my bridesmaids. The FI did all the burning on the messages.

Boarding pass reply cards, probably my favourite piece of the invitation kit

The actual invitations, which will be rolled and stuffed into the bottles. FI did all the edge burning, his contribution to the invites.

Page 2 - info on Costa Rica, fun facts and common expressions

Page 3- Manuel Antonio info

Page 4 - Accommodation info. We are renting villas so it lists information on the villa company as well as rates

Page 5 - Things to do. A listing of local activities with some pics

Page 6 - Just lined for notes, didn't take a pic.

Passports before I assembled them. A true work of love.

 

Now all I have to do is finish them up. Pack them and send them off.

We are probably going to just hand deliver to anyone close by to save on shipping costs.

Can't wait to hear what people think.
Thanks sooo much to everyone who posted their message in bottles, passports and boarding passes. This forum has been such an inspiration.

You may be wondering why we are sending out the formal invites so early (wedding isn't until Nov. 18, 2011). We decided to skip the STD thing and just get all the info to people as soon as possible so they know what they are looking at cost wise.

We will send out updates and I have created a website on weddingwire.com as well for people to keep informed.

      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!
