RIU RM Palace Brides??

Oh, that is awesome to find that out Josie...thanks for that!!! That makes me feel a lot better!

Any anyone know if the Riu would let you ship your favors to the hotel before the wedding? I tried contacting them awhile ago, but they haven't gotten back to me.

I am not sure if they will let you but even if they do I am not sure I would trust it. Just my opinion.

lisa+josie,

glad you are both back im guessing you have been really busy.are you nearly sorted?when are you having your hen nights?

hi josies mum great that you could join us.

kate,

thanks for that review. i am not only addicted to this forum i also check trip advisor all the time.don,t know why.my fi actually said stop looking what would ou do if you seen something really bad.

its only a matter of time until my mom joins as well! She is a total lurker! Welcome Josie's mom!

Hey guys!! Sorry I've been out of this thread for awhile. I see that SO much has been going on! So much stress Josie and Lisa! I'm also very surprised/not pleased with all of the nickel and diming that is going on, but as someone said earlier, we will probably forget all about it when all is said and done. I have a bit of drama of my own going on in regards to the photographer. As I previously suspected, I wasn't able to come up with the downpayment to reserve her until Oct 1st, but she is no longer available for our date! So I have already sent out the save the dates, with imprinted shotglasses and cards, for July 6th. She is available on the 7th though, so we are hoping it all works out, even though we have to change the date. OH WELL!

I still have to post pics of my STD's, I have been SO busy and SICK as well. I was in a wedding last weekend, and it was so gorgeous! It defnitely helped with my 'wedding fever'. However, in the haste of checking out, I left my BM dress hanging in the closet!! Can you believe that! And I could have totally worn it again, it was from Anthropologie. The hotel claims that they didn't find it. Drama drama drama. My own fault of course.

Anyway- Glad to be back, and to get all of these great new details. We have some weddings coming up to hear about and see photos of! So excited!

OH- and welcome Josies Mom, and hello to all of the new girls that are here now!!

Okay, sorry ladies but I need to vent! So last week I had sent Ael and email about wedding stuff and I am still waiting to hear back. It's very frustrating because I want to know what is going on.

Ael had told me that if the group was 70 or more people then you paid $1900 for the chili's private dinner and you got it from 7pm-11pm. This has a choice of either, and international buffet, a mexican buffet or plate service (for $25 more per person) I would rather do this with the mexican buffet from 7-11 for $200 more then wait until 8:45pm for our dinner. anyway this is what I am waiting to find out because she had to check with management to see if that was allowed. Honestly, I am paying more for it, why wouldn't it be allowed?

Hopefully this all makes sense.....

Josie - did you book your spa stuff yet? what all are you getting done at the spa?

Wow! I'm really surprised to hear that! First, I didn't know that Chili's even had a buffet as a choice...I thought that if you had it there, it was their regular menu. And I agree...if you're paying more for it, then why would they even have to think about if they're going to let you do it!?
