My BF who is my maid of honor asked if we would like a party before the wedding since some guest can not attend the dw. The second option a bridal shower. I like the idea of the party ,but I have major concerns:

 

The wedding party spending more money for a party before we leave for Cabo

They are already spending money to get there and other expenses.

My FI inviting too many people then party is out of control

My FI family, I know the party would be out thier comfort zone

With the guest list already it would be over 150 at the party, and that is too many people

 

 

I am leaning more towards the bridal shower, I would like something more personal with the girls.

I haven't put a ton of thought into this personally...but in the begining planning for me I thought maybe instead of the typical brial shower I could have like a couples one...but really more like a bbq vs a shower but that way guys could come too...but I haven't really decided.

 

I think you should do what you feel most comfortable doing. I also agree that a party w/ 150 people would be alot for your bridesmaids. even a bridal shower with like 20 people costs alot for food an decor, etc....

 

I know I'm not much help...but go with your gut!

i think a party beforehand with 150+ people would be both so expensive AND overwhelming. why not something small and simple? the reality is that you cant make everyone happy or make it up to everyone who cannot make it to your DW. if you do want to do a party, what about a smallish backyard BBQ type thing after you get back from the DW and have the photos you can share with your friends who couldn't make it? or if you wanna do a shower, what about just limiting it to family and your absolute closest friends? you dont HAVE to include everybody and their mom ;-)

      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!
