We have allowed our single friends to bring a guest, we are not staying at an AI and do have to pay per person for the recpetion dinner, open bar even set up fees, but it only ends up being about 3 or 4 extra people for us and we wanted those guests being comfortable. My brother is even just bringing one of his friends down. It just even better for excursions that way those guests dont feel they have to hang around people they dont really know.

We're in the same boat. I had a couple of my aunts tell me they were bringing their girlfriends (because they thought it would be fun to hang out with them in Mexico). And a couple of my friends who aren't dating anyone seriously are planning to bring someone to room with them. I didn't exactly like the idea of having to pay for random people; but at the same time didn't think it was fair to tell some people they could bring a guest and tell others they couldn't. So we just decided to bite the bullet on that one. We're staying at an AI resort and having to pay per person for the meal. We're also taking all of our guests on a catamaran excursion for the day and that cost is per person as well so it will definitely add up. Oh well, just add it to the other gazillion trillion dollars we're already spending on this wedding. LOL

Thanks everyone, yeah I am thinking I will have to bite the bullet as well and just invite them with guests. I am assuming not all will come anyway, so hopefully it will all even out in the end. Our AI is expensive if you go over the set amount of guests in the package as well, the fear of the unknown is killing me at this point! Especially with not being able to do certain things (welcome bags, budget, ect.)

That would be awesome if i dont come up with any other sources or ideas.. i might drop lace altogether and do a paper bellyband with the ribbon around that....

so wait, all of you DIY brides,  how are you getting all your wedding stuff down to your destination weddings?  Shipping them?
I don't have the heart to ship anything. I would die if something didn't make it or got got damaged in transit. It's all coming on the plane with me or a friend/family member.

      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!
