I am planning on having a March 2012 DW in Mexico and I want to get my 'Save the Dates' out a year in advance.  I am also planning to have a hometown reception when I return from my DW for all of the guests that could not make the trip.  So here's the question...is it rude to only send Save the Dates to a certain group of people and then send an invitation to the rest of the people for my hometown reception?  I do not want to be rude, but what if those only invited to the hometown reception get offended that I did not invite them to Mexico??  HELP!  sad.gif

We are not inviting everyone to Mexico that we are inviting to the party back at home.  We are using my fiance's huge family as the reason why we can't invite everyone to the DW.  One thing we did was to make sure circles of friends were either all invited or all not invited to the DW.

 

We will send save the dates and invitations to the people selected for the DW.  Then we will send out a separate postcard invitation for our at home party (note the party, not reception so we don't feel the need for official invites) to everyone - those that did and didn't get the DW invitation.

We are doing the same thing - DW (55 ppl invited) and AHR (215 ppl invited) after.  We sent STDs to the ppl we are inviting to the DW a year in advance with info for our website on it where it lets them know that we are having an AHR - this way people who can't afford the DW will know they can still celebrate with us.  We will then send out invites to them in a few months for the DW

 

Then, we will be sending out normal invitations to everyone for the AHR - we're actually looking around on sites for them now!  If you are looking for traditional invites, it's not a bad idea to start looking now since sites will actually send out free samples on invitations to you so you can get a better handle on what you want.

 

Good luck!  On both the STDs as well as the invites, we will have the wedding website listed.  I think that will be a huge help in keeping ppl informed as well as communicating info.  There's tons of threads on here about them, but here's the link to mine...

      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!
