Sugar Glitterthong!

I got this from some family members too! I haven't sent out invitations yet, hope they don't wonder why they didn't get one. I try to ignore it but it's hard I understand.

Thanks for the advice! Thankfully my budget is a little flexible! I haven't done any site visits yet, I was actually planning for the same wedding day! I would love to do site visits but (we own our own company and both can only take limited time away) am probably just going to research enough online to pick what I think will be the best place and jump in with both feet! I figure these resorts have done weddings lots of times, I am comfortable having limited options, have a few specific details I want but thats it. Hoping I can leave most details to the experts. I am used to having just us on vacations, so paying for the wedding party makes me feel like I need to limit my spending. I was looking at Barcelo as a possibility but am reasearching which place to stay within the resort. Of coursse I would perfer the higher scale Palace, but is that neccessary for the whole wedding party? I don't want to be really far away from the wedding party or have them feel bad because they can't do certain things within the resorts.

So I am new to this wedsite, just looking for more info on what destination to choose. So far I have pretty much decided it will prob take place around Riviera Maya, Mexico. Currently researching three different resorts: Barcelo Maya Palce, Playacar Palace Wyndham, And Royal Hideaway Playacar. Any thoughts? It will be very small 15 people at the most, and unfortuneatly most everyone coming can't afford to go so we are probably going to pay for the wedding parties entire stay. 5 days, 4 nights and flight on us. We have a $20,000 budget and the wedding party includes mob, fob, moh (having 2),fg (our daughter) and bm. So we will be paying for 8 people total. Is this do-able? Begining to stress about the budget after I wrote it all down! I want it to be a nice place and a nice wedding for us, but I didnt anticipate having to pay for everyone. The main reason we wanted to get married at a destination was so we didnt have to have a huge wedding and spend alot of money. Now it seems that kind of back fired! I have always wanted it to be away but is it going to be worth all this stress? Just begining to plan so I am trying to stay positive. HHEEELLLPPP ladies! Any suggestions to make this whole plan work would be great!
