Hi all!

 

My Fi and I just confirmed our wedding date this week - May 2nd (Yay!!)  Since we're now under the 6 month mark, wondering if we should just skip the Save the Dates and send the real invitations. Everything I've read says to send a destination wedding STD as soon as possible (6 months plus). I'm already feeling stressed that we're late on that and we found out we won't get our engagement pictures back for another 3 weeks. We've already communicated the date to friends and family that we know will be there.

 

What do you think - should we just skip save the dates and jump to invites? What did you do?

 

Thanks for your help!!

Congrats!

We booked our January 2015 wedding in May so gave us about 8 months. We did not do STDs and only did invitations so I personally think with your time crunch this is totally acceptable. People will need to book ASAP and it just seems redundant to do both in such a short time frame :)

 

Hope that helps!

@@jordanj Nope, no time for STD, I would probably communicate with guests that you know for sure are coming, and send them information on booking the hotel. then letting them know invitation to follow.  By the way 6 months is still plenty of time for planning a destination wedding. we have planned a wedding with 3 months in the past.  focus on what had to be done. and enjoy the planning stage.

I skipped the STD and just went for the straight invitation (even way ahead of time)... but that was mainly because I had a deadline that guests needed to put their deposit down by so that they would take part in the payment plan :)

 

I'll be sending "reminder - final payment due by *** " postcards though ^.^

I agree with everyone else. This close - skip the STDs and go straight to invites. Much simpler. You'll need to get people booked very soon to guarantee space so makes no sense to do the extra time and expense.

 

Good luck!

      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!
