Here are my save the date postcards! I just sent them into vistaprint to print. It was 100 free, plus free glossy and free upload so I only had to pay $9 for the shipping. I'll post update pics when they arrive! 

 

FI's face is grumpy on the front because although he's the happiest guy I've ever known, he always makes this grumpy face in photos and it's become kind of a joke with our friends and family. 

 

I got a lot of ideas for the wording from other posts on this thread.. it was soo helpful! The design at the back was a lot different at first but stupid me forgot to check postcard design specifications before I made it. I ended up having to clear out some areas where the barcode needs to go and had to squish down the text.. I hope it won't be too small for some guests to read!! I tried to shorten it as much as I could but still include everything I wanted to say. Here is the text:

 

Dear Friends & Family

 

We are getting married! The ceremony and reception will be at the beach in Varadero, Cuba on Saturday, January 14 2012, followed by a lobster party on the 16th in Felix' hometown of Matanzas.

We realize that due to distance and cost, some of you may not be able to attend. While we would be delighted to have you all come celebrate with us and our Cuban family, we understand and respect your decisions if you cannot make it. Visit our wedding website for more information and to leave a tentative RSVP if you are interested in attending. This will be very helpful in our planning.

We are extremely excited and we look forward to sharing our special day with you!

Thanks! I had the website at the bottom first but then I found out we need the bottom clear for mailing.. I moved it sideways but was worried some of my relatives might miss it completely so I put in the arrow and hoped it would be enough.

 

Thanks everyone else too! :)

      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!
