Erik is happy I'm on here (I don't have to bother him about it), He also thinks I'm crazy when I'm on it so much, He also likes to put his two cents once in awhile.... I will always be on this forum, drea

Thank you girls....I think I'll say plates are from $30 on up , so my guests will be prepared I know Brasil is $35 per plate but it's also all you can eat. So that's not bad at all. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you....

But with that said, they drank ALOT while Cain and I were off having pictures done. And the food at DeCortez was about the same prices as the Office (I think I actually like the food at the office a little better) no this is not wedding dinner... This is welcome dinner for Thursday night...Guests will be paying for themselves. Same with Friday night dinner at All you can eat Steak house (Brasil) Wedding dinner is Sat. night at Baja Cantinas...(we are paying for that (actually parents are))

Quote: Originally Posted by TammyB ALOT.. OK so I ordered the steak and I think Cain ordered a mexican dish of some sort and our bills was I think $85.00. Where a couple of people we were with ordered sea food and their bill was $80.00 each. So I'd say somewhere between 35.00-85.00 per person Yikes....Thank you Tammy....I now it was expensive but forgot how much.... I'll make sure none of my guest get sea food..... So do you think it's safe to say around $30 a plate. not including drinks....

my mom and I are going to go to Costco and buy some flowers and get ribben and tie them to the side of the chairs ourselves. cheaper that way

So I'm going to make reservations at The Office when I get to Cabo for Thursday night (which is their fiesta show night) but need to tell my guest how much dinner will cost them. Does anyone know? Thanks girls

Glenda, you didn't offend anyone....so don't worry

hmmm, I'm not much help but I know that my mom thought the rose petals were going to cost a lot if we got through our wc so we are going to costco and purchasing our own roses and plucking the petals ourselves.

So my ingenious little mind thought that I would FREE the froggy so that he could live happily without a cat attacking him. So, I packed him up in a little dish and walked behind my house to the pond. As I was walking through the field a snake slithered over my feet. I freaked out, threw my hands in the air, thus sending poor froggy flying into the air and landing somewhere in the field. Who knows where because I'm pretty sure I was back at home FAR away from the snake by the time the frog landed. I still feel bad to this day. Poor frog. Never had a chance. Oh crap, now I'm all sad. I'm sorry to say I was cracking up when I read your post. I'm sure your froggy got to the pond

So I asked Maye to find me a Minister. So I have a minister now but don't know who he is? Hopefully he is good, We are going to meet him before the wedding (my mom and I are) My mom wants to make sure he puts in some catholic values in the wedding (sorry but Ugh). Has anyone used him? drea

I'm not doing a seating chart.... Just a long table and Erik and I will sit at the head or something. We are going to meet with Maya and Mona (manager of Baja Cantina) on Monday the 23rd to go over set-up for wedding....

I have to say I agree with Kelly about the kids and animals comparison, though I love my animals dearly....

Quote: Originally Posted by kpluse Anyone know of a really good one that is a little less expensive than what most hotels ask for? I'm not sure of others but Maye (my coordinator) is charging me for a full band for 1 hour $550. p.s. I have to say this but your FI looks a bit like John Stamos. LOL

Quote: Originally Posted by Nrvsbride Ooh I love that! I especially love the make-up. Striking but fresh. Not too heavy. Just perfect! Does anyone know if she does manicures and pedicures too? Do they do them are her salon? Or do people just get their nails done at the spas at the resorts? She does pedi's and Mani's but I'm not doing it with her.....I'm pretty sure she can do it in your hotel....My mom thinks it's to much and that we can ask one of the locals to help us find a nail salon that the locals go to, to pay a cheaper price. My mom believes (which I do to) that the resorts all charge way to much especially if they know if its for a wedding.

I'm not doing a trial run, I think that I'll like it the first time (and if I do a trial run and then have her come back it might not look like the first time....hope that's not confusing LOL) I think she charges more to do a trial run and I want to save my money for something else. drinks most likely lol

Quote: Originally Posted by Nrvsbride Andrea I am so excited for you, it seems like everyone who has used her absolutely loves her. Out of curiosity how much does she charge for hair and make up? she says for a package (hair and make-up) it cost $190 USD So total with tax and services (I think tip) it came out to be $286 I paid $100 already for deposit.

My best Friend Shelly and some other girl friends are coming with us (and my mom), then we are going to go out to dinner (I think we are going to Bandera's) Make it into a little celebration, though we will be celebrating our anniversary on the 28th....

I'm sorry but there is no need in putting the dog to sleep. That's stupid. Can't they find shelters outside their state or something or put up an add on craigslist or the newspaper. If I could have a dog over here I would totally take it. Stupid people (IMO)

Congrats Nicole. Have a beautiful day and take lots of pics.

So I booked Suzanne today to show up at my hotel to do my hair and makeup. She called me one hour later to let me know she got the email. We scheduled for my hair and make-up to be done and she took my credit card number. She then called me 30 mins later telling me that she accidently put the full charge of $238 or something like that on my card instead of $100. So she voided it. I'm so glad she's truthful. She asked what my hair looks like so I sent her a photo (good thing I had my camera with me LOL) I also sent her a pic. of the hair I would like for wedding. The only thing is ....she hasn't sent me an email with the invoice...I'll email her tomorrow
