Our wedding is in October in Tulum, MX, which we're extremely excited about.  Have about 60 people all flying out there.  

For those who have done this before, how do you keep your traveling guests informed about stuff?  It seems like a lot of nitty-gritty details to put on our simple little wedding website.   I thought about making just a big email chain with those 60 people so they can see who else is flying in at what time, etc., to split transportation costs.   But seems like that email would get out of control.  Has anyone else thought about this issue? Is a Facebook event page too tacky? Any other options?

we had our travel agent handle all those details like arranging transportation. 

we thought about setting up a facebook group so our 60 guests could interact with each other, but most we have quite a few non-facebook users so it didn't seem worth it. we did send a few all guest email blast recently, especially since we're all flying out in the next day or so.

Whoa, 60 guests as well! Guest twins! 

That sounds about what we were thinking of doing,  although I just came across Guest Board on another forum, which seems to be what I'm looking for, kind of a private forum for our out-of-town guests.  I think it's also free.  That or someone mentioned Yahoo Groups?  I haven't looked into that one as much.

we ended up using Facebook messenger when we were in Mexico - the hotel had free wifi and at least 1 person from each family/couple had FB on their phone already - it was pretty easy to communicate among guests "hey, we're heading to the beach bbq for lunch." or "everyone is hanging at the small pool today". 

a plus was that some people tried to get a hold of me via FB on the day of the wedding and I was totally not checking my phone - they were asking if the wedding was outside given the rain forecast, thankful my mom, MOH and a few other friends were on the group and could respond for me :)

      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!
