Amazing job, Lauren!!!

 

I've been looking for a banner image like you have on your RSVP cards. I've spent hours looking for free ones online and trying to learn how to design on free design software that I want to pull my hair out! haha. Would you mind sharing that image with me? My email is [email protected]. 


I can't wait to see your other DIY's.

 

Happy Planning, 

Norma

I absolutely LOVE Rivera Maya!  We would definitely be getting married there had we not fallen head over heels for Las Caletas.  It is very overwhelming with all of the amazing choices out there, but I'm sure you will find one that you love.  I can't wait to hear more about your plans! Happy planning! :)

Hi Norma!

 

Thank you so much!  I am the queen of "stealing" images online, haha.  I usually find something using Google Images and then use a photo editing site to alter it to my specifications.  The image on the RSVP cards isn't actually of a banner, its 2 flags pasted next to each other to look like a banner. I used Microsoft Word to add our names and wedding date to the papel picado to personalize it.  Microsoft Word is probably not the best program for the project, but it is the program I am most comfortable with.   Why don't you just send me some info on what your looking for and I can make the image for you?  (colors, wording, etc)

* Flip Flops (Tags: "Dancing Shoes" and size)

John and I have a tradition of bringing home a Christmas ornament as a souvenir of every new place we visit.  We thought it would be neat to include this tradition in our wedding because it is the first time all of our guests have been to PV and our wedding is right before Christmas.  The ornaments will double as escort cards and be displayed in a shallow box filled with sand.  I bought some sand dollars online, painted them with iridescent glitter paint and attached ribbons with tags.  I also added our wedding info on the back to make the ornament a nice keepsake and a sweet reminder of the day.

I love this idea!  I think I might have to do something like this myself!!!  You are so creative :)

To continue with the Christmas ornament tradition, we are also including small plastic Christmas balls to be given to guests to fill with Las Caletas Sand as we do our sand ceremony.  We will also be filling a Christmas ball with sand rather than a bottle.  Our niece will walk around before the sand ceremony to distribute the balls.  I purchased the balls on Oriental Trading.com and put a small piece of cardstock with our wedding info inside. I added twine for hanging. This was a quick DIY project that I think will make our guests feel involved in an intimate moment and really add a special touch to our ceremony.

As you can see, we are planning on giving our guests a lot of goodies at our wedding.  I had paper bags that I originally purchased for OOT bags, but then decided upgrade to a canvas bag.  So I created & printed out a large papel picado image on label paper and stuck it to the front of the bags. I now wish I used "gracias" rather than "thank you," but the stickers took so long to cut out that I'm leaving it as is.  I added tags (because I don't know how to stop once I get started! haha)  One tag says our names and the other, our wedding date.  We thought these bags would help our guests transport all of their favors, especially because they will be boarding a boat to get back to Dreams.

Here is the menu I made.  Each is framed (bought cheap frames from Michaels and painted them white).  There will be one in the center of each table.  Our dinner will be served buffet-style, so while a menu wasn't really necessary, I thought some of our guests would appreciate reading what there is to offer.  (I apologize for the image in the reflection...I think it's me taking the pic wink.gif)

      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!
