I am having a bridal shower...my sister, who is my MOH, insisted that I do I am also only inviting close friends and immediate family to the wedding, however I am having an AHR (a cocktail party), to which our other friends, coworkers, and other family (cousins, etc.) will be invited. I searched the forum and also the internet to see if there was "proper etiquette" as to who should be invited to a bridal shower when you are having a destination wedding. I found that if you are having a DW and an AHR, it is okay to invite those who are only invited to the AHR to the shower also even though they aren"t invited to the wedding. So, I will be having both friends and family who are invited to the wedding and those only invited to the AHR at my shower. Also, I am going to be asking the guests who are coming to Mexico with us not to give us wedding gifts, so it doesn't look like we are just trying to get gifts from our friends and family, especially when they are traveling so far for our wedding! Hope this helps!

Carina- I just heard back from Claudia Rodriguez...she said she is not available on your date but that some of her associates are. I didn't ask her any more because I figured if it was 2 different photographers, we probably wouldn't be able to get a deal. As far as the invitations, I put December 1st as my RSVP date. I sent out invites a week and a half ago. I did not send out STD's or anything else because I just did not have the time to do so (didn't choose resort until early September). I didn't say that they had to book by then, just that they had to let me know whether or not they planned on coming.

Hi again everyone! I actually sent my invites out a week or so ago. I did it early though because I hadn't sent out STD's or anything. We just got engaged in July and I didn't even pick a place or resort or anything until September, so I have been a little behind on everything!! As far as my OOT bags...I haven't even started on them yet!!! I am so worried about getting them down there! I probably will end up bringing an extra suitcase or 2 with that stuff in it, so hopefully I find bags that travel easily! I've read on here that shipping is not always reliable (I guess sometimes things get held up if they open the boxes to see what's in them and then sometimes they get to resort and get lost there), so I probably will try not to do that. I also love the invitations and OOT bags...great job!!

Where are the flights from? What is the per night price? Is the price a deal? Or is the price their basic amount? I assume this is for a group rate. Did you guarantee a number of rooms or room nights? If so, how many? Thanks and sorry for so many questions. Ty I sent you a PM. I have a block of 20 rooms held for four nights until December 1st through my Travel Agent ( I don't think I answered that one in the PM! )
