when i planned my destination wedding, i invited everyone i wanted to if i was a having a big wedding in my home town. i knew they all wouldnt come, but i wanted them to know they were wanted and invited. and as i thought, i ended up with a small intimate wedding in Jamaica. however, it was smaller than i anticipated because even 2 of my closest friends who said for sure they were coming couldn't come in the end and my husband's sister and kids could not come who really wanted to be there. so because of these VIPs being absent and several other close friends who otherwise would have been present for sure if not a DW, we decided to do an at home post wedding reception this summer in my home town where most of them live.

 

however, because we have literally no money for this, we are doing it at my sister's house as a backyard BBQ style party. problem is, we can't fit everyone that we initially invited to the DW. which means we can't invite EVERYONE. is this okay? i am calling it a "name of hometown city" post-wedding reception. so we are limiting invites to people that actually live in that city.

 

or is it really against etiiquette if we invite some people to the DW but not the at home reception??? (chances are the people we don't want to invite to the BBQ won't even know that it ever happened).

      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!
