I am wondering how bad the dress actaully gets trashed? It obviously gets wet and sandy, but I think that should be able to be rinsed and dry cleaned? I think Sara mentioned that it didn't damage her dress. I am not saying I would do it to a dress that costs a lot of money, but if you just want to save it for sentimental reasons, I think it would be fine to go ahead and TTD....just be sure to have someone take care of it right away.

I do not know of any either really.... I was referred to a place in Burnsville and Mankato, but can't remember the names of them.

What does it say Also, this is great- thanks for your help! This website is so helpful sometimes.

I just noticed that when you put more than one "question mark", it adds that confused smiley. I was wondering why it was always added to my post....

Can you do the info too? Please

Thank you soooooo much!!! For some reason, I do not have the "pull down menu" showing in my Word program. Our office manager is having someone fix it on Monday- but I wanted to print these this weekend! I am not very good at this stuff.... I really appreciate it!

Any microsoft word specialists? I have typed what I need for my std letter, but now want to rotate it so I can fit 2 per sheet (letter), and 4 per sheet (travel info).... I will attach both letters. Please help!! also, I used a special font- hibiscus.ttf from dafont.com, or email me and I can send it to you. Otherwise, send me directions and I can do it myself!!!

I think that might be the one that I get too... I tried it on, and it is cut really low, but the lady who was helping me said they could add a little stitch to fix that if it was too low for me, so I might do that. We'll see. I think on the right person, the low cut would look good.

Well, after reading your guy's responses, I feel better about the situation... I am just going to assume that the guest list will decrease, but maybe that is not such a bad thing.... we are having a reception at home when we return for everyone who can't join us in Mexico.

When my cousin sent us an invite, the price tag on the trip was $2500 to El Dorado Royale, and I didn't think twice! I thought that was a pretty good price considering almost everything is included! Her "wedding" (it was cancelled but we all still went!) was in March and we traveled from Canada. I think that's a pretty good price. When people think about what they would normally pay for a vacation with food and drinks and some activities - that's a pretty good price in comparison! so was that 1250.00 per person? and how many nights? This really is reassuring me!!

I guess since it is AI... I just know our guests are going to flip! Our air is already at 350.00 per person for a direct flight.... and I think coming from Minnesota that is about as good as it is going to get. I really just don't get it though since it was 986.00 per person when I looked last fall for the same date.

I am not sure where I should have started this thread.... But anyways my question is: How much did your guests pay to come to your wedding, and for how many nights We were originally thinking that it would be about 1000.00 per person for 4 nights, and my travel agent just called and told me that the rates right now are between 1250.00 and 1305.00 for four nights at EDR. This scares me! I wasn't expecting this, and we are already in the planning process ( and put the deposit down) for January 19th. I think this is a lot to ask my siblings and even my wedding party to pay to come to my wedding.... especially for only 4 nights! I was just wondering if this is pretty typical, or low, or really high!!!? Thanks-

who is your dress designer, or where did you get it? I am looking for something similar....

We are bringing our photographer.. but they happen to be friends on the guest list who are attending anyways! This way they will be there the entire time, and we will be able to do the TTD photos too. I guess it is ok if you bring your own as long as they stay at the resort....

I have looked into these- I don't think it was zazzle, but the custom stamp site I looked had theirs for around 80 cents each I think. I remember it was way too high for me to get! But at your rate, it is only a couple more cents per stamp.. nice! I wil have to look into it!

I am getting married there! and I have never been there. I hope it is nice!

How much more were they than a normal stamp

We have not set a date, but Christa is not availalbe until July, and I am not getting married until January. So, anytime between then, and I really want it to work so I am willing to do it anytime! I think the other girls who were interested are getting married later this fall like October- November, so before then. When are you thinking?

I think these guys are right- they are a little too casual. Also, I don't know about you, but I think wedges kind of affect the way I walk and dance- kind of clunky... do you know what I mean? Maybe wear these for the height and the sand, and then get a dressier pair for your dinner and dancing.

I don't know how I messed that post up so bad....

check out htis thread- http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t5097 Stephanie... I am trying to line a session up with Christa Butler. She is willing to travel from Rochester to the cities, and pay for a classy room if we can get 4 girls to do it. We would have 1-2 hour sessions- totally private. It would be a good way to utilize a nice hotel room.. Right now I have a couple of girls interested. Any time between July and September works for us! Let us know.... Maybe, if we could get more than 4 she would drop her prices? Quote: Originally Posted by Stephanie 525 Does anyone know of a good photographer in Minnesota who does BD photos?

That is what I was thinking... it would look good for a boudior picture. How much is it?

Sarah! Those are absolutely beautiful!! I hope ours turn out!!! You are a natural when it comes to posing!!!

That is what I struggled with the most- these do not fit in with the beach theme, but they are our colors. My big dilema was do I go with a beachy one, or match our colors. It came down to our picture not matching the beachy ones, so I went with this one. Trace thinks I am nuts.

They were a pain! But, they are ordered so there is no turning back! Now, on to the hard part, the DRESS!
