So yesterday FI and I took a drive aorund NYC, and came across this great Mexican Folk Art store. It's called "La Sirena". I thought this would be of interest to other Mexico Brides from around the area. Especially if your not able to do a site visit before your wedding, like myself. The store is VERY small but with lots of wonderful things from Mexico. We're thinking of buying a couple of things from her for our own wedding and hopefully they carry nice maracas that we can use as favors. If she asks, just mention John & Linda, Thanks

Here's her information:

What a great idea! By the way, your OOT bags were a big inspiration for me. Love all of your ideas..keep them coming

Beautiful! you did a really great job

Got it! I have no DIY skills, but I'll be more than happy to return the favor, should you ever need anything. Thanks again!

This is great! Thank you

I'm going to play with it on Power Point now so that I can add our Location and Names in Brown for my OOT Bags. THANK YOU SO MUCH! What program did you use by the way?

Wow Thanks!

Well you've already done the hardest part for me, which is WONDERFUL .

since your offering , I'd say it might be alittle on the rusty side. If you can work with it alittle I'd really, really, really appreciate it!!!

Thanks so much,

Can someone please help me change this Palm Tree to a Tangerine Color. I purchased the logo online, but now I can't seem to use it because it's not in my color scheme. Please help

Here it is:

TIA,

I'm wondering, does MP work well with high resolution pics?

I'm sure that will make a big difference for the final product.

TIA

Amazing Ttd Pics...you Guys Have Us Anxiously Waiting For Ours.

Congrats!!! You Are Beautiful

Thanks guys!

I LOVE THIS FORUM

Can someone please direct me to a thread that suggests invitation wording. My fiance and I are hosting our own wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico, but our parents are hosting a little get together/simple party for us back home for when we get back. Should all of this be on the invite? Also, is there a specific text style that looks best on an invite? And how about on the envelopes? I'm open to suggestions...

Thanks,

Thanks guys!

I think what I'll do is wait awhile and register for actual gifts later on. Closer to the wedding date.

I have a question, we are registered with Honeymoonwishes.com and Bed Bath & Beyond. On our Honeymoon Registry guests can contribute cash towards our trip for anything we want to use the cash for. This made sense to us since we already have every imaginable piece of home appliance as it is. We also listed that "We Welcome Gift Cards" from Bed Bath & Beyond. I don't know if this is appropriate. Does it sound like we're asking for too much CASH? We're having an AHR in May 09', so my BM's are telling me that I should register for GIFTS because of this. I really don't know what to do...? What do you guys think?

Ha!!!!!!!! Cute

Yay!!!

Thanks Dana, you have made my day with your very informative info

They can really help to make a signature drink for you at GUACAMAYAS

That's great! I'll have to think this one through...what was your's called?

Dana,

You were one beautiful bride and you have a fabulous group of family & friends! I can only hope that my wedding turns out to be as beautiful as yours . I'm also going with Tucanes and I also have a few questions for you if you don't mind me asking...

What private dinner option did you go with?

Where did you gentlemen purchase their cigars?

What time was your ceremony? reception?

Did you choose to do a cocktail? If not, where were guests directed to go while you, groom, and bp took pics?

Thanks,

Oh ok, however, I haven't been working with Lomas for anything, so should I still go through them or TA you think?

Does anyone have any info about this. I have some guests who want to stay at another resort nearby for various reasons. I understand they are required to purchase a day pass, correct?

How long is the day pass for?

Are they allowed to have complete access to the resort wit it?

Who do they purchase the day pass from, EDR WC, or TA?

What else should they know??

Thanks,

Hey guys, I'm planning on having my reception at Tucanes, I'm expecting 25-30 guests. Is this place suitable for this many people? Does anyone have any pics they wouldn't mind sharing of Tucanes..I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

I was wondering, did anyone of you girls go with the Cigar Roller at your reception? Anyone going with this? I really want to do it, but I can't seem to understand the attachment about it that Valeria sent to me this morning. Anyone?

Shannon- How exciting! Your wedding must have been beautiful. I really like the bouquets you used too. Your colors were HOT!

I myself am doing pink and orange with touches of brown. I wonder if I can go with the Mexican Calla Lillies and ask them to wrap them in nice orange ribbon for me. I asked for the BB14 StarGazer & Casablanca cause I thought they could find them in my colors bt Valeria says they only have them in white or pink. I really want to wear a pretty flower on my hair that would match my bouquet. I thought a stargazer would look pretty, but oh well we'll see.

Thanks so much for that piece of advice Mandy.

I notice you were a May bride, which is kinda close to what my wedding date will be. What was the weather like out there during your stay. I keep hearing April is a windy month which kind of changes things with some of my planning. I wanted my hair down and I wanted to maybe try doing the program fans. Any advice, suggestions EDR brides out there?

Thanks so much you guys for your feedback on the Honeymoon Breakfast & Candlelight Dinner expierences. I know this will help so many future EDR brides including myself.

Everything sounds so delicious! Being that I'm such a finicky eater, I wonder if it would be ok to ask them to maybe omit certain sauces..on things. Is it possible to just have a plain omelet? Hey and the fact that you can pick now with the option of maybe changing your choices later is GREAT!

Timelsel--- Your pictures are amazing & you guys are the cutest! I notice that the Candlelight dinner takes place right on the beach..by what restaurant is this if you don't mind me asking? And can you pick your date & time for these?
