We're having a very difficult time deciding on what to do for our parents. We paid for the wedding ourselves, but they helped out whenever they could so we definitely want to recognize that, but nothing too big or traditional! What did other brides do?

I'm curious about this as well. We are paying for the majority of our wedding ourselves. We originally were going to elope, but after my grandparents passed away earlier this year it turned into a full on wedding, lol. We are having less then 40 people and spending a total of roughly $5.000 for everything. My mother has helped a bit financially for our wedding, picking up about half of the tab, which was amazing. Neither set of my other halfs family has chipped in, nor did we expect them to knowing their financial status. I'm a bit lost as to what to do for gifts, if anything at all. 

 

For my mother I am embroidering a handkerchief and bought her a bracelet from the same set as my bridal jewelry. I will be doing the same for his mom, but with a necklace instead of a bracelet. I want to do something more for my mom, but just can't think of anything. And then there is his dad and step mom, I haven't done anything for them and frankly don't know if I should. This stuff is hard, lol.

I think it's more important to have a thoughtful gift than an expensive one. I'm probably doing a picture frame for my dad (my mom passed) that says, today a bride, tomorrow a wife, forever your sweetie (his nickname for me). and putting in a nice picture (or waiting till we get one back from the wedding).

      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!
