FH and I will be having a ton of family and friends traveling in from all over the country for our wedding. His parents suggested we get married at an all inclusive resort in Mexico, that way everyone is together and having fun the whole time. While it makes good sense, neither of us see any appeal in Mexico in general. I am hoping to have the wedding in Oregon, where we live but will want everyone to have a great weekend, not just fun on the wedding day. I was thinking of throwing a welcome party for everyone instead of having a rehearsal dinner on Friday, wedding festivities Saturday, brunch on Sunday. I love planning and hosting I am just worried it will all be very overwhelming and take away from the most important part- I am marrying my best friend! Anyone have thoughts/tips/advice??
