Thanks so much! You just calmed my nerves some! I'm getting married there in 2 weeks. How many guests did you have?

Y'all rock!!! Thanks for the songs! It helps tremendously! It's amazing how many great songs there are

Daniela sent me an email saying that they don't have an on-site steamer....they send it off, so they need to know in advance so it will be back to the resort in time.

I paid for all their dresses. They picked out different styles in the same color so they got a dress they like. I know it's a lot, but it's not nearly as much as they're doing for me! BUT, I've also got money saved, so it was budgeted out. It's up to you. They'll appreciate anything you do, I'm sure. You can probably find some great dresses right now for good prices since it's dress season :-)

I'm planning on renting out the disco as well. Even if it is fairly empty, it's better to just rent it out just in case. Also, 500 is not bad for dj and open bar and private event! Go for it! Are you getting married on the beach?

Wow! I'm impressed! Your not getting married until January? I'm getting married in 2 months, and I have no idea of a timeline for the big day! Thanks for sharing!

I thought that, too!!! Hahaha!!! So glad you sent that page...I've been having the hair dilemma as well, and that's the best page I've seen for long hairstyles. Thanks!!!

So since the terrace apparently holds about 80, or so I've been told, would it be safe to say that if my party is 75 then we'd have a "private" reception at no charge? Anyone experienced this? I'm really getting nervous about this WC since I've heard nothing positive about her!

It's good to know that I'm not the only one experiencing this. My FI seemed to think I was overreacting to this situation when it happened the 2nd or 3rd time, but now I feel justified in feeling this way. It's so annoying! I don't want to feel like we're being used as a 'vacation' just because we're having our wedding in Cabo. I hope no one else asks this of me because I think I've reached my limit. I understand about the whole "they'll have more fun if they bring someone," but there's gotta be a limit.

I agree on 2! It's more DW and it looks more comfortable. But if you're not set on either one, then try some more on! This is the only time you can do it, so enjoy :-)

Maura, do you work? How do you find time for all this It's impressive...maybe you should become a wedding coordinator! ;-)

Then I say go with #1. Elegant, not too simple, but not too much either... You can't really go wrong with most of them...

Ok, I wasn't sure if the resort would work with you on this one...I figured not. What do they care? Thanks, girls...

I love it! Of course it always looks stupendous on those models...

I was thinking the same thing. Get it made and get exactly what you want at an affordable price. I got my ring at RB and I love it! I can't find a pic though on the Internet and I don't know what brand it is. My FI picked it out himself. And he did a damn good job, let me tell you!!

What is that?

Maura, you're stressing me out! Ahhh!!! I thought I was doing alright, but now I'm thinking, WOW, I need to get on it! I'm getting married the day before you!

Question: Can someone give me some feedback on what you're doing or have done with accommodations before the actual ceremony? We're trying to book our flight and hotel, and the package deal out of Dallas includes one room for both of us at the Riu. BUT we can't stay together until after the ceremony. So I'm a bit confused on what to do.

From what I've been told, the number of guests you have determines the package you have to get. I was considering customizing also, but I was told that I had to get the caprice pkg based on the number of people. Does anyone have any idea of how many guests a gazebo ceremony can accommodate??

I didn't really think about the rocks! I was planning on getting married on the beach. I wonder if we can decide that when we get down there a few days prior I'm just now trying to figure out all these details, and I feel a bit in the dark since the WC is not getting back to me.

You're a life saver! Thanks! Now I can answer that hard question!

I was wondering the same thing about the cake?

I bought mine. Ifigured that was the least I could do for them...If you can swing it, it's nice, but I don't think it's expected.

Can I send out the RSVP card with our wedding page link to RSVP to? I wonder if people are more likely to respond Anyone had some experience with this?

They have lots of flat cute, but simple invitations.
