Destination Wedding Jitters

C, on August 19, 2019 at 10:14 AM Posted in Planning 0 8
We have a destination wedding planned for Cabo San Lucas in January of 2020. We are so excited about it but I’m also finding myself very nervous about it. I’m mostly concerned with safety. I would hate to expose any of my favorite people to unsafe situations. And the news does not help anything with all of the tourist deaths lately! Is anyone in the same boat or am I causing myself unnecessary stress? Any tips to calm nerves?

    I went to Cabo last November with just one other girl friend and had a great time! Stay in the touristy areas/resorts and you should be okay. Of course don't put yourself in compromising positions, but I really think you'll be fine. You're going to have a blast!

    My FW just went to Cabo last fall with a bunch of friends and had a great time. They only go out as a group when they travel and stick to resort organized excursions. I think you and your guests will be fine, especially if you take a couple of simple precautions.

    In terms of overall crime, it's not bad, although there are the usual warnings about pickpockets and the like common to tourist cities. In terms of harassment of women, Mexico tends to be relatively bad compared to the US (and date rape is typically not even treated as a crime). However, the harassment tends to go away entirely if you have a child with you--or if they think you do. My sister, who lives in Mexico, advises women to wrap a doll up in a shawl and tie it around you. That's how people carry real babies, and men tend to leave you alone if you do it.

    I was just in Cabo in June looking at venues for my wedding in April 2020 and was all over the place taking Uber.... never felt nervous.
