Hi Ladies!

 

This is my first post.  I just wanted to share how I will be asking my bridesmaids, since I am pleased with how it turned out!  I wanted to give them something special for the money they will be spending to attend.  Most of their husbands/bfs are groomsmen too, and my fiance isn't doing anything special to ask them.

 

I ended up assembling a box containing a funny luggage tag that says "be my senorita?", a 2 year pocket calendar with the dates marked along with special dates in their lives - birthdays, anniversaries, upcoming weddings etc. and phone numbers of the travel agent and the bridal party in a little note section the calendar has,  a mini bottle of champagne and a starfish!  It cost me about $20 per bridesmaid.

 

For the calendar I used a template on Microsoft Publisher but i followed the directions from this website: http://diyfrugalbride.blogspot.com/2013/10/how-to-make-your-bridesmaids-planner_24.html

I will attach my template as well.

I've been engaged only a week so haven't even asked my bridesmaids or moh yet! Lol but was thinking of making a cute diy label to put over a wine bottle to try to surprise them in a cute way saying "will you be my bridesmaid!" ?? But not decided yet..

One if my to be bridesmaids is overseas so we can only chat on Skype or face time so I've been trying to think of a fun way to ask her..?

    • 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!
