Hi Tracy.  I'm not sure if this was for me, but I think I'm the only one with a self pic on the this thread so far...so thank you!!  If it wasn't intended for me...oops

 

My most difficult challenge by far was chosing the country!  We were open to anywhere in the world, and actually started out by saying "anywhere but Mexico".  Funny enough we ended up with Mexico, because our money will go much further, and we can make it look like a $30K wedding for almost half the price!  The second hardest thing was picking the resort. 

 

Before getting engaged I thought these two things would be the most fun, but it was really hard for me.  I kept worrying about the perfect country/resort that would make all 50 people we were inviting happy without spending a ton of $.  Its just impossible.  Reading through this forum really helped me out!

 

After these decisions were made, I promise everything else has been easy and fun!  Thats the beauty of a destination wedding...nobody knows what to expect, so anything special you do will be a great surprise!!

 

Have you picked your country or resort yet?  Or have it narrowed down?

Just Jamie... regarding the picture it was directed to you...I still learning how to work the forum.. I have decided Bahamas but we are going to Mexico next weekend so my mind might change after our vacation. Also I am looking for an all inclusive package for my guest in the range $650-$800. I have no ideal how the prices works regarding the wedding portion but I'm hoping this site will help me pin port more ideals...

 

Thanks

Hi Tracy!

congrats!

First start choosing a date. One year from now would you give some time to prepare yourself and your guests.. Second, choose your ideal place.. Did you say Riviera? JStart navigating trough the forum looking for the best resort that would meet your necessities.. from there… maybe a coordinator, the music, the photos… sometimes some brides start choosing the photos, the music, haha.. I can tell you that pictures last forever, take special care on them!!

Greetings!
