Hello all jus joined. Wanted to say hi want to get married in lanzarote next year please god. Anybody out there thats in the same boat would love any tips. Thanks

[mrsb2b]

hi and welcome!!
i have seen on this site before where a bride got married abroad, not sure where, but she said alot of small things eg favours etc were very expensive over there! it was actually cheaper to get them here or off the net and bring them over, or get them sent over! because the suppliers over there have very little competition, their prices are supposed to be high! So just be aware of that!

And ebay is your best friend!!

hi welcome to the site. Not sure about getting married abroad. As other posters have said HAGGLE, HAGGLE, HAGGLE and ebay. You can save plenty by doing this.

Was at a wedding in Lanzarote last year, had a brilliant time, unforgettable wedding!

Congrats on your upcoming wedding... I got married in Italy, make sure you tell your wedding planner to tell photographer what type of photos you want and also to give a list of songs you want played to the DJ... You'll find some of the local suppliers don't speak much English so make sure you tell your wedding planner exactly what you want so she can communicate that to them... apart from that you'll have a ball

[Stary Em]

Thats actualy really good advice. Did you have your weddibg abroad yourself??

[sunshine]

Yes I got married in Italy had a small intimate wedding with all my close family and friends there.. loved every minute I'd get married aboard again in the morning

DId you find any problems with your guset organising accommodation.Did they organise it themselves?? My h2b friend got married in italy aswell. Said it was the best thing he ever done.

[sunshine]

No we had no problem with guest accommodation as everyone just stayed in the hotel were the wedding was on. I went to another wedding in lake garda and everyone had to stay in different hotels but the wedding planner gave the couple a list of hotels that were in the area and they included this with their invites and the guests booked whatever hotel they wanted. easy

[MrsEL10]

I went to a wedding in italy and the wedding planner had done a detailed list of things for the guests to know that we got e-mailed to us - we booked the accomodation ourselves through the wedding planner

[Stary Em]

Yes like sunshine i was thinking about sendin out a list of hotels that my wedding planner has already sent me out, in the invites. Did you send out save a dates?? I was thinking bout jus sending out my invites as soon as we hav our date set(still tryin to decide)!! But me h2b thinks its too soon and that they'll b forgotten about within in the year. Any thoughts?? Thanks

[sunshine]

If your wedding is next year i'd send out save the dates cards hon to give everyone a chance to save...
