Thats great! I am going to get married on the beach---haven't decided on the reception yet, might go inside for that. Ironically my wedding day is also my birthday! I am sure we will definitely bump into each other, did you just recently book the date? How many people are coming to your wedding?

I was just at a wedding 3 weeks ago at dreams tulum and it was so much fun and so perfect! My friend was married on the beach behind the seaside grill and then they had their reception at the seaside grill. I highly recommend having it in there b/c you get shelter from all the wind and they set it up so nicely. I saw a bunch of recptions by the pool and on the beach, which were beautiful as well.

I am so glad the invitations are done and sent! A big DIY accomplishment!

This is my next major task! I just can't decide what direction to go in. We did boarding pass save the dates which everyone LOOVED!! (still need to post my thread on those). I'm at a loss for invitations. I'm not a very formal person so we'll see....

The only thing I am in need of doing is invitations. i ordered some samples to see how they would look if we make them and the cost in comparison. We are doing foldouts. Any ones have any thoughts?

Ordering samples to get an idea is the way to go. In fact, I was disappointed with the sample and ended up making my own. So glad I did it and saved some money.
