Hi everyone. I still can't believe I'm calling myself a bride. Haha. I was engaged in July and knew from the start that I wanted to do a destination wedding. I don't have a big family (my fiance does - oops) and most of my friends are spread out in Chicago, LA and NY/NJ. Cabo seems like the best place for them to get to (distance and price). Plus I've always wanted to travel there. Would love any advice/suggestions? Is all inclusive better - does it help the cost of the wedding or not at all? Is a private villa the way to go? Does that mean you have to have a wedding planner? My budget is $15k, but after (rings, dress, favors, etc) I think I'm looking at more like $10k for the actual wedding. Thanks so much. As you can see I need HELP!
