Did you have the bon-fire at Dreams?

 

We are wondering what to do for our "Welcome Party" we already have so much going on with wedding activities, we don't want to overwhelm our guests.

We looked into having a bon-fire at Dreams, but the offered us a "Mexican style fireplace" for the beach at a rate of $150. It's not quite what we had in mind (we wanted an open flame to make smores etc.)

 

Thanks for your help!

Hey everyone! It's been forever since I posted, but I do read all of your posts every day! Things have been crazy since my fiance Matt got back from Iraq in January, and we are now down to just two weeks until we leave for Dreams and our wedding is on the 11th of April. I am so excited!!! :)

 

I wanted to share my welcome books with you all...I decided to make these cute little books with information and pictures of Matt and I for all of our guests. I am sending them out today so that everyone gets them before they leave. I included little tips about traveling in Cabo...such as info on the airport and transportation, info about the wedding and wedding party, Dreams dress code and attire for the wedding, and some helpful English to Spanish translations. I had fun with the Spanish and included a translation for "I am not really related to those people!" hahaha!

 

I took pictures of the books but I can't figure out how to post the pictures on here for you all to see...So if someone knows how to do that please let me know!

 

I also made some hanging flower strands to go on the back of the huppa. I got the idea from another bride on here and they are just gorgeous! Michaels is having a great sale on fake flowers that look real - 50% off!!! I will post pictures of the flower strands too when I figure out this picture thing.

 

Good luck to everyone, and I can't wait to post my wedding review on here soon!

I don't have a template because I just walked around Michaels and sort of just made it up :) I picked out some of the colored paper in the scrap booking section, grabbed some tropical stickers, palm tree hole punch, and some pretty ribbon to match. I printed what I wanted on the paper and then filled in the rest with the pictures and stickers. I hole punched every page and then just tied them together with the ribbon. I am not very crafty so this is a VERY easy way to make welcome books. You could definitely make them look better if you are crafty and have some time to do them!

 

Here are some pictures of the flower strands:

These were really easy too! I just picked out pretty flowers that I liked, which were already on a green plastic strand. I got two of these vine type strands and then some clear beading string. I took the flowers off the vine, cut the end of the plastic off to make a hole through the middle of the flower (which you can't see when it's all put together) and then just strung the flowers on to the beading string. I tied them in a knot when they were spaced out correctly. I made 6 strands with 8 flowers on each strand and kept the extra flowers to use as decoration at the wedding. We will string the flower strands on the back of the huppa for the ceremony.

 

Hopefully some of this helps...I am not a very artsy person so these are very simple, easy, and quick. Let me know if you have any questions!

 

Good luck everyone!!!

    • 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!
    • 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!
