Payment Options

[JDIPASQUALE4]

hello ladies,

just wondering how you paid your vendors. Obviously i dont want to give them the full payment before the day of the event. Did you bring envelopes for each down there? I wanted to have everything paid before i left, but i dont know if that is the best way to go? Any advice??

i paid most by cash or travellers checks when i got there...

 

i paid about 30% of the total bill as a deposit. some vendors required a deposits, others did not...

i was just scarded to carry around that much money in mexico. Does the hotel take credit card-- the dreams-- so that i can just pay their fees with credit??

As a guarantee, we paid with credit card for everything we could. For items that we couldn't (or got a discount), we paid with cash. A few weeks before the wedding I wrote out checks to my Dad, brother, and brother-in-law. They carried envelopes of money to Mexico for me since I didn't feel comfortable carrying so much cash around. Plus, they reminded which vendors needed to be paid and when. This process worked out well for me.
