We are only having our immediate family at our wedding in Mexico. However, it looks as if we will be having an ahr (and probably a fairly big one) We want to send STD's for the AHR because our friends and family are scattered all over the country so no matter where we have it there will be many people travelling. To give people enough notice, we should send the STD before the wedding (we haven't picked a date for the ahr but are shooting for about 3-4 months after the wedding...I know I need to get on that smile35.gif)

My question is...how do I word such a thing? I don't want to confuse people or make them feel bad for not being invited to the actual wedding. So how do I say we are getting married on day x, but come celebrate with us later on day y?

Maybe you could send out an announcement of your wedding in Mexico with your AHR reception date rather than a STD? You could send that out right when you get back or right before you leave. Then send out a formal invitation for the AHR closer to the date or just put all the details for the AHR in the announcement/invitation and not send anything else.

This is what I originally wanted to do, but how much notice do I need to give people who need to travel? is 3 months enough time? I thought an STD would be helpful for travel planning.

I never heard of verseit, but I just looked and it's great: VerseIt.com
I got mine from Personalized wedding invitations by Rexcraft. It's an invitation website (where I ordered mine) and they have lots of examples of wording.

    • 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!
