I have to give thanks to BDW for these. 10 months ago, I hadn't ever even heard the term!

After blessedly stumbling onto BDW, followed by hours of research, I knew we absolutely had to do them :)

 

We are giving:

 

Airplane Survival Bags

-ziplock bag

-kleenex

-pen

-hand sanitizer (all above from Dollarama)

-2 sets of foam earplugs (a pair for each way) (free! love samples)

-gum (Costco)

-Welch's fruit gummies, snack size (Costco)

-granola bar (Walmart on sale)

 

Total: $3 per person

Our mothers and my bridesmaids are also getting eyemasks in their bags

La Vie en Rose Aqua has cute wet swimsuit bags for $1.95 each. All female guests are getting one in their beach OOT bag :)

Now to figure out what to get for the guys!

 

Finally got all the stuff I've ordered so far from Oriental Trading today (shipped via favour from a friend of a friend who crosses the border frequently)

I am pleased with the quality for the price. So now it's time to order the balance of goodies from there before I'm out of time!

Andre finally finished our Boarding Pass Invitations (for all those going to Mx with us, plus Grandparents)

I think they were well worth the wait! We had them professionally printed at the print shop around the corner on heavy cardstock.

 

I made the brochures in Word based off the template in Vistaprint which is so popular with BDW members, with content ''borrowed" from several other BDW brides (thank you!) tweaked to suit us.

 

I made the Pass Holders from blue scrapbook paper from Michaels, on sale 4/$1, then tied with raffia that I had in my craft bin (I believe it will also be making an appearance in our wedding aisle decor)

    • 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!
