I am co confused as what to do!

 

For our wedding it will just be the two of us. We are having a reception shortly after with friends and family.

 

My mother is insisting we send out save the dates since the reception is in July (July 9th to be exact). I sort of feel like it is too late to send out STDs..but i could be wrong.

 

Anyways--I'm struggling with wording. The reception will be an upscale Pig Roast (still casual though) and we are doing a short blessing ceremony at the start of the reception (we are having a civil ceremony in mexico..so want our marriage blessed as well)

 

I guess I just don't know how to word that on the STD.

 

Do i mention that there will be a ceremony?

 

This is what i got:

 

front:

save the date!

 

july 9th

 

John and Ashley

 

wedding website

 

Back:

 

July 9th

 

Stateside Wedding Reception of John and Ashley

 

We are having a private ceremony on the sandy beaches of the Riviera Maya.

 

We hope you can join us upon our return to celebrate our marriage.

 

Invitation to follow.

 

 

 

Do i get into anymore detail than that and mention a ceremony? like "Marriage Blessing & Stateside Wedding Reception" ????

 

Also--my mother and friends really want to throw me a shower...so we are registering and creating a wedding website. is that weird since it is just the 2 of us? i go back and forth on how i feel about it.

Hi Angel,

 

I was reading your post hoping that I can help. I'm not too sure about the wording though. Remember, a Save-the-Date is just that...it's not an invitation. So you can basically let them know that they need to mark their calendars for that particular day.

 

I definitely don't think it's weird that you guys are registering- although I felt the same at the beginning. There are only 7 of us going to Turks & Caicos and we're having a formal reception 7 weeks after we return. Everyone begged us to register, so I did.

 

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Hi Angel!

   Looks like we are wedding buddies! :) We are also going away to Jamaica this May as just the two of us and having an AHR in July! I sent out my save-the-dates about two months ago and am planning on sending out the formal invites by the end of this month. I had the RSVP date for April 15th b/c we were hoping to get a clear number of guests before we left for our trip. I am hoping to do as few last minute projects as possible once we return from Jamaica.

Good luck!

      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!
