Congratulations Tasha, your wedding is going to be wonderful!

Hope you had a good time at your shower Sarah!

Yay Christa, I hope your day was amazing!!!! I was thinking about you yesterday knowing you were getting married! I'm betting best ever, christa was so organized I'm sure she had an amazing day!

Happy Birthday Jules! Can't wait to see your dress!

Ann, I love it, so cute!

What the F*#)(*&*(&@#@*)*(_$(_ was that!!!!!

if you're still waiting for an answer maybe you should call and if you can't get claudia ask for a manager. Do you have a TA yet? The reason I ask is because my TA is helping with the wedding planning, so she usually calls the WC for me and gets me my answers, so if she doesn't get an answer she knows who to call to get them!

I think 4 will be perfect

I really wish that claudia had one big packet that she sent out to every bride with every price & picture possible, so that we all had everything, its so frustrating! Think about how many less emails & questions she would get. I think we should all suggest this!

I am an Aries, and it fits me to a "T". Its funny because FI is aquarius, but he's the last day of aquarius, so he's almost a pisces, and he definetly fits the pisces description, not at all like the aquarius

Welcome Karen! You're very lucky to have a groom thats so involved in the wedding planning! I think most of ours are happy we found this forum so we can avoid talking to them about the wedding details as much as possible, lol! Its great to finally meet you!

I think ever since Amy posted this place we're all second guessing and wishing we could change!

I'm making most of my decisions when I get there. But since you have 7 BM's maybe you should just verify with claudia that its okay to decide when you get there. Well it looked like the VIP bouquets ranged from 90-150, so if you got something smaller and less expensive flowers I would guess maybe 50-65

I don't think your being a bad bride, you want nice pictures, thats not a bad thing. I am actually thinking of calling my dad & brother and telling them they should wear khaki pants and white shirts, lol! Because I know we're going to have a lot of family pictures and even though they're not in the wedding, I want the family pictures to look good!

If my parents give us any money, which I don't know if they are, it will only be a small portion and since we are paying for the majority of it, I'm not putting there names. Especially because I wouldn't put just one parents names and FI's parents are probably not even coming and have not even attempted to contribute, so no way will I be putting there name on the invitation. I think its nice of your dad to give you something, but I don't think you have to put there names, and I don't think its right to only list one set of parents and not the other.

How is the music played? Do we need to bring a CD with our seating and processional music? Will someone be running this sound system to make sure the timing is correct? Maybe I need to find a tech saavy friend who is willing to be in charge. I think Claudia should just post to this site It would probably save her and us a lot of time! I didn't really understand why the package said upgraded bouquet either, if you have to choose from the same ones its really not an upgrade.

Great tips! I was thinking the same thing about abstaining from alcohol, spicy foods, caffeine & red meat, I'm going to be a nervous wreck 72 hours before the wedding, I'm going to need those margaritas!

Christine is right, I did go with Citlalli. Claudia wasn't available for my date either and I liked Citlallis work the best out of all of them, but thats not saying that I didn't think Eriks work was good too, I just preferred Citlallis style a little bit more.

I LOVE mosaic stuff and the color is perfect, I'm going to have to keep those in mind, they're really cute! I think 4 will be plenty, if you're having 20 people are you doing one long table or 3 rounds?

Relax whats that?? I am a giant ball of stress, especially at this time of year because I know that every year at this time, this is when everything starts and I will be going nonstop pretty much until the wedding!!! So I WINE, like everyone else has mentioned, is a GREAT stress reliever!! I plan to have A LOT tomorrow night! Love the massage idea, a 30 minute massage isn't even that expensive and I love massages, I think I might need to go get one, lol! Exercise helps sometimes too, especially running. Good luck, I hope you feel better!

That sounds like so much fun! I would love to do something like that and I like christines idea of pairing up people that don't know each other. I agree also with keeping it around the resort. I don't really have any ideas for you though because I don't know your resort, but I'll keep thinking!

Sarah, I love those shoes, where'd you get them!

Welcome! I'm getting married at dreams cancun, so not much help with Riu, but let me know if you have any other questions!

umm, ann, is it just coincidence that you posted this and you won the most times, I think theres something going on here, hahaha!

I love the new one with the sash, so pretty & flowy!
