Is it enough?

Lately I have been thinking (maybe too much), are we doing enough for our guests? We are having a small wedding (20-24 people) in Turks and Caicos. The first day we are hosting a catered welcome bonfire BBQ. And of course the wedding reception. All events are open bar. Should we do more for our guests? should we host deep sea fishing/snorkeling in addition to BBQ? brunch the day after?

how many events are you hosting?

Hey there!! I am getting married at Beaches Turks and Caicos!! And we are not doing much at all besides OOT bags and showing our appreciation etc. WHat you really have to think is, it's not only your wedding, but it is a vacation for your guests and they dont want you to plan the entire trip for them. They want to do their own thing, spend time with friends and family and spend time with their own family. I think the wedding is a bonus. I wouldnt go crazy trying to plan things and then you dont want your guests to feel pressured to come along. Just my opinion, but I have also heard this from others. Plenty of stuff going on that they can join in on. Hope that helped!

thank you for your advice! it does make me feel better

yah try not to stress about everyone else. They are all there to have a great time too! Where are you staying?

we are staying at The Sands... I see your wedding is a month after mine. I'll make sure to report back with my experience once I'm back have you ever been in TC?

Thanks for the question TCIbride and the response future_mrs2010. I am at the beginning stages of planning and I wasn't sure if anything besides the wedding/reception was required (good form). This make me feel better... I love this forum!!!

totally agree!!

I absolutely agree about the cost... our budget is 50% more now that it was when we just started thinking of doing a DW.
