My Mexico/beach wedding DIYs - post yours for inspiration!


Recommended Posts

One of my best friends is a pro at photoshop....so we created my own ceremony program covers.  

 

This is the front and back.....700

 

and this is the inside of the front cover and the inside of the back cover.....700

 

I still need to drop them off at staples to have the inside pages copied and attached....but then they are complete!  Good thing since we are 20 days away from the wedding!!

I made some table runners this weekend as well.  There were some really great ones on etsy that didn't cost too much...but my mom did some searching and we made three extra long runners and four small center pieces for cocktail tables for less than $40!!  The picture isn't that great....but you get the idea :)   700

Here is a link to where I got it and all of their chevron patterns.... http://warehousefabricsinc.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?  It is $7.47 a yard and I got 5 yards.  With shipping I paid $43.95.  We made 3 LONG runners for the reception and 4 small centerpieces for the cocktail party.  We backed them with old white sheets to make them thicker, more sturdy, and more finished.  This cost nothing!  :)  We used every bit of the fabric, we didn't have any leftover, but the runners should go the entire length of the tables.  Good luck!!

So... since I technically didn't create this, I can't take credit for it as a DIY (except I did print and fold it, so maybe it counts??), but it is too good not to share! Perfect for OOT bags if you're having you wedding in Mexico, and FREE! Love that, what a great Ida!! They're these great little pocket spanish language booklets. I found a free PDF download online (can't find the link now, but PM me if you can't download it in the attached and I would be happy to email it to you). I then printed it in color, two sided, folded along the lines, trimmed off one long edge with a paper cutter, and voila! [ATTACHMENT=12494]Spanish_ToGo.pdf (71k. pdf file)[/ATTACHMENT] 700 700

    • 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!
