Acireta's Planning Journal - April 3, 2012 Cruise Wedding


Recommended Posts

AHR

Our AHR will be a few weeks after we get back from our trip. Weâ€re doing a cocktail party on a Friday night at a local banquet hall – open bar, appetizers, some stations, dancing… casual and open seating.

 

I got a fingerprint tree as our guestbook from Etsy seller YourKeepsakeCo

I made our centerpieces (hobby lobby, efavormart.com) and convinced the venue to let us bring our own table runners (BBcrafts.com), since they didnâ€t have a color I liked. The finished ones will have sand in the bottoms of them.

Weâ€re doing a candy buffet at the AHR, and itâ€s been fun putting it together. I got a lot of the jars for our candy buffet at a flea market during a trip to Asheville, NC last Thanksgiving, averaging $2/jar. I also bought a few from Michaels, Goodwill and Salvation Army, and a couple were gifts from friends/family. I made the labels in PowerPoint. Some of the labels will hang on the jars and others will be tent cards.

I made a little sign for the basket for the cellophane treat bags (from Michaels).

I got most of the candy from www.acandystore.com and www.candyfavorites.com. Gummy sharks, lollipops, rock candy sticks and strings, sour hard candy, gumballs, kisses, yogurt covered pretzels, laffy taffy, airheads, mints, gummy bears, Oreos, marshmallows…

I got my thank you cards from Vistaprint, and I have used them for everything from my shower through AHR.

So thatâ€s everything! Itâ€s been a long 16 months of planning and waiting. We leave in 11 days, and it cannot come soon enough! Let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you! I'm feeling really good that we're ready to go. Now just a little bit of packing and last minute clothes shopping left!

Thanks! I think he's going to love them, especially since it's so unlike me to be all girly and dressed up. I'm usually wearing jeans and working on a car with him cheesy.gif

Our candy buffet will be at our AHR! I have no idea how you would transport all this stuff down south!! We have like 80 lbs of candy and 20 glass jars, it would never work! Could you venue provide the candy and you bring plastic containers? Dollar Tree and Hobby Lobby had a lot of different clear plastic containers that were nice quality.

    • 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!
