Thanks for posting this i'm going to have to look a little more into this. Maybe its based on the region of Mexico?

You pay nothing for a TA so it definitely helps to have one. I've found that our guests like having someone to talk to too when they are booking. Plus it eliminates them asking you a million questions! My TA helped me find out if the date was available within a couple of days and all we had to do to reserve it was have a reservation at the resort in our names. Then she has been negotiating group rates for our guests as they contact her and book. If they find cheaper prices online anywhere she has matched that price as well. Also, for every night one of our guests has a room booked we get a $5 credit. This has added up to almost $500 dollars already! Its an incentive the TA gave to us for using her services. Once our reservations and stuff were out of the way I've been dealing strictly with the WCs for wedding questions but if I find myself waiting especially long for an answer on something I let the TA know and she zings them and gets the answer for me! The TAs hold a lot more weight since they are sending people to the resorts all the time. Hope this helps!

No I did not although I'm considering going down in Feb. or March although at that point it won't really matter because we already have 50 people booked! I based my decision on reviews on tripadvisor and the weddings/site visits of others girls on there. So far there has yet to be anyone disappointed. Are you working with a travel agent? The one I used was VERY helpful in getting me the information I needed. I used Elite Travel... Destination Weddings

They definitely allow them in Mexico because I got that price list from the WC at Dreams. Claudia and Daniella (WCs at Dreams) are pretty good with getting you the information you need it just takes awhile to get a response though. If you need questions answered ASAP your best bet is to call them directly. Good luck deciding!

Dreams Cancun does have a fireworks package but I think its kind of pricey. I've attached the details for you. If you can't open it you can PM me and I'll email it to you. FIREWORKS FOR WEDDINGS.doc

I think that last sentence sounds a little funky, almost like a sympathy card, any better way to state it? Thanks! See above! I just tweaked it a bit.

Congratulations! I love the name you picked out.

Thanks for organizing this Christine. I just sent my contribution.

Welcome to the forum and have fun planning!

Welcome to the forum. Have fun planning!

Thank you so much!

Angela your wedding looks like it was amazing. Your dress is absolutely beautiful and I said this somwhere else already but I LOVE your hair. That is exactly what I want to do with mine. Once the dust settles I'm hoping you have a close-up that you wouldn't mind sharing with me. Hope your wedding was all that you dreamed it would be!

Beautiful dress! Also... Angela I LOVE your hair in your siggy pic!

You guys are too cute! Looks like you had an amazing time.

Happy Birthday!!

The lesser of the two was totally thrilled that the dress gave her the illusion of having a bigger chest! The things us women worry about. Luckily I only have 2 girls so it made it pretty easy.

I was actually pretty easy going with the girls in that I really didn't care what kind of dress they picked as long as it came in some shade of coral. Luckily, the place were I got my dress had this gorgeous dress in a shade of coral which makes it so much easier then picking a color from a 2x2 swatch. What do you girls think??

Oh god! I remember Romper Room and the snow cone machine! Do you guys remember the little plastic dolls that you used to snap plastic clothes on to? I don't remember what the heck they were called.

Some of them definitely didn't apply to me either...especially the crush on Leif Garrett. Now had it said one of the "Corys" it would've been right on. Ahh the 80s...good times...good times.

Aww man Carly! Now I REALLY feel old!

Does anyone know of any good paper stores in NY or NJ? I work in Bergen county NJ to give you some idea of where I am (northern NJ). I want to start looking at paper so I can decide on whether or not to make my own invites. I've tried looking for places online but I'm not getting very far. Any recommendations would be great! Thanks!

Welcome!! Have fun planning!

I think the sweetheart neckline dress from your last trip still looks the best on you. It really accentuates you in all the right spots. Good luck deciding!

These came out awesome. Good job!
