I will add mine here too-
I WOULD DO IT AGAIN:
Cabo – YES! I loved cabo! it is so clean and nice and BEAUTIFUL! I look at my pictures everyday and tell matt "we got married in paradise- how lucky are we?"
Video –We bought a camera and had someone tape it and it worked out really well if you are only interested in raw footage- but this day goes SO fast it was nice to be able to actually "watch: it and absorb all the things you may have missed
IPOD dpeakers –I am so glad we didnt wast money on a DJ becase i think i made some very cool playlists that my guests are still raving about- and we had an awesome time
a "bridal" dress There were times when i felt a little silly for having such a "bridal" dress when i was getting married at the beach- but i felt so amazing and so beautiful on the day of the wedding. Bottom Line- get the dress you LOVE, regardless of what it looks like
Dreams – Like Sarah said I know you are all probably tired of hearing about Dreams but they are so good at doing weddings and still making you feel special on your wedding day- i love this place and place to return there sometime soon.
Not hiring an outside WC – In the beginning i thought i might really need some outside help- but if you are organized you dont need anthing- but you MUST have a point person on the day of the wedding to be in charge- ad if your family/friends are unable to help then you should probably hire someone.
OOT Bags – I kept these simple- used regular gift bags with our logo- and packed them wthnecessary stuff (advil, pepto, koozies, sunscreen) and although it was a PITA getting it to Cabo i think the guests appreciated the gesture.
Laid back attitude – Once all our travel arrangements messed up i just sat back and let things happen (with a drink in my hand at all times!) but it was really suprising to me that i didnt freak out- but it really just made me relax more to know that it was all out of my hands and i could do was be grateful to be in Cabo with all my friends and family!
Doing my own makeup and hair Luckily i wanted a VERY easy hairstle for the wedding so i could do it myself and my sister does awesome makeup- but it really gave us my sisters and my mom some itimate time getting ready together and that was an amazing part of my day just laughing and hanging out with them- BUT you have to be easy going about this becasue if you are looking for a particular hairstyle or makeup look it might not turn out like that if you do it yourself
I WOULD CHANGE:
Cake – Not that I wish I had skipped it, but it really wasn’t necessary if I was looking to cut back. I think people said it was good- but i could have cared less about it- and when we ate the top a day later i thought it tasted sort of gross.
Flight Schedule – OUr wedding was on a Friday and all our guests left on Sunday- so we basically had 3 nights together ALONE before we left Cabo- i wish we had stayed a little longer after all the guests had left just to spend some alone time with my new hubby.
