Many destination weddings are actually elopements or small, intimate weddings with only a few guests and no bridal party. If you have one, however, don’t forget the bridal party gifts!  You might think it’s a good idea to pick the gifts up from a souvenir shop here in Costa Rica. After all, wouldn’t that be a nice touch? You can do it as there are many souvenir shops in Quepos and Manuel Antonio, but I only recommend that route if you’ll be here a few days before the big day. You don’t want to be stressed and rushing around looking for gifts the day before the ceremony.
