Hey ladies...my most recent activity:

 

Given the size of my group, and as I may have previously mentioned, I will be handing out my OOT bags before we leave.  However, I created a little Welcome package to hand out to the Group on the bus.

the package contains our Welcome Brochure; Map of the resort with information about the resort on the back ie time for Buffet etc.  door hang "Wedding Group"; room key, Request for Coffee card and the Wedding Day Program.    I assembled everything like this:

The other thing I wanted to share we my experience last weekend.  I was having anxiety as I had not done a site inspection before booking.  So on Wednesday I booked a 3 night vacation for me and my MOG to Varadero to go check out the resort and meet with the Wedding co-ordinator.   This was by far the best thing that I have done so far!  It answered so many questions and we got to check out the resort and the surroundings for pictures. Well worth the $485 I paid for the 3 nights.  Heck, I can't stay in downtown Toronto for $500 with my meals, drink and accomodations so it was a no brainer.  I would recommond this to ALL brides.

Just received my shoes that I will wear for pictures and the reception.  I bought them of Etsy and only paid $35 for them.  They fit so well and are very comfortable.

    • 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!
