It came in really good packaging- so I'm not too worried about taking it with us. The only problem was originally I had gone with the blue and green sand bc I thought it looked cool on the website- but my green sand was not the same color as website- it was pucky-green. I ended up ordering the pink..... Otherwise- I really like it!

The towels are from - Beach Towels wholesale manufacturer of custom embroidered monogrammed bath towel for corporate events -- that website I also got from BDW...:) --- the monogram is on the bottom/center of the towel-- I guess it looks like the middle, with the way I have it folded in the picture... I'm really happy with them also-- and they sent me a proof of the monogram to approve it-- and they came really quickly...

They are all beautiful! -I voted #1-- so so pretty!

Oops - I almost forgot this one- and it's my favorite!! all the guys got black flasks and all the girls got pink ones- with their initials on them! This monogram might see strange- one of the guy's name is Daryl -but we call him "D-money" --so I thought his monogram would get a laugh....

Every bag will get these things-- except there will just be one chapstick and one candles (the candles are on left) per bag.... Cocktail napkins I'm bringing from home for our private cocktail party-- and the matches will be in each bag for the travel candle... Our sand unity set...

Our towels for OOT bags OOT bags and towels

Who-- will make the pix smaller- sorry!! front of invitations

Hey everyone- I've gotten probably 95% of all of my ideas on this site- so I was trying to procrastinate on grad school HW, and thought I'd pull out the stuff I've gotten so far- and take some pictures! - I think my OOT bags are almost done- -we are doing the personalized M&M's favor bags for everyone, I'll have a schedule of wedding events, a map or the RM, the guy's cufflinks, golf balls, the girl's sample of the new Michael Kors Island perfume, and necklaces-- okay- so I'm not almost done-- so, this is my 1st planning post-- guess I'll have another one! what you will notice- is that I can't make a freakin decision -- I started out with my colors being turquoise and chocolate- which I LOVE. The save the dates, the invitations, the shower invitations- all correspondence has been in those colors.... the actual wedding- -will be red-- I know random-- but I couldn't decide... the colors of wedding are reds,oranges, yellows, turquoise blue and white- more tropical colors...-- so you'll see the actual invitations and OOT bag colors don't match.... The ring! The save the date- front! save the dates- open FI's band (I haven't gotten mine in yet ) and the necklace my mom suprised me with at my shower- I'll wear on wedding day... The rest of my wedding jewerly

You sound like you got us beat by a few months!-- It was 10 years in Sept-- and we are getting married in May-- so a little over 10 1/2 when we'll be married! --- we did break up twice- 6-7 months each time-- so I'm not sure if that factors in -hehe...

everything looks great!! I love the bags and dresses!!

Stunning!!

I'll let you know if she is able to resolve any issues. that will be awesome-- thanks so much!!!

Jwolfe---since you have 3 total people for photography/videography-- what I'm getting from Valeria's email -is that you would have to pay for "only" 2 day passes ---for the "extra" 2 people that is with your "main" photographer....- you shouldn't have to pay 3 days passes or for any private parties.... -----what a mess....

Well- I couldn't find the old email - but I swear that is what she said- I can see the email in my head... I sent an email to Valeria last night and this is her response now... --ignore the first sentence- I'm trying to get a quote for if we had red velvet as our "flavor" for our cake- it's me and my FI's fav... Hi Shannon, Yes, this will be what we are waiting for, the red velvet cake, I will keep you posted on that, again, My sincere apologies for the delay of this response. About the Photographer, I know you will bring Cancun Studios - there will be a 500 usd fee and if she brings any assitants there is a 72 usd day pass per assistant. Also her RFC and working documents, to be presented to the Hotel. Thanks! If any doubt arises, please, do not hesitate to contact me, I will be more than happy to assist you. Sincerely Yours, Valeria Martinez. Wedding Sales Executive

Oooh - i LOVE it!! So elegant and just perfect for a beach wedding!

Absolutely beautiful!!!!!

So, that's been paid and I thought the issue was over. I notified Monica to tell her that my photographer will be bringing two associates w/ her (one of whom is the videographer). At first, Monica indicated that I might have to pay ANOTHER $500 fee for the videographer (who is associated w/ my photographer, mind you), but then she let that drop. But now, she told me that since we will be counting them as our guests in our "free" wedding dinner at El Cocotal and having them at our mini-private party afterwards ($8.00/person), we also have to get day passes for all of them! So, if I'm understanding her correctly, she wants me to pay $500 for the fee (at least one $500 fee so far), $72.00 for each guest pass (3), and $24.00 for three people at the private party. Ugh!!! I sent her an email to clarify all of this, but I am fuming.....and feel kind of defeated at the same time........ Hey-- when we paid the $500 vendor fee (since Cancun Studios offered to pay half of the fee)-- I was assured by Valeria that the $500 would include the 2 photogs being on the resort for the day--since we are having them for 6 hours- they are even taking a hour break, during our dinner and going and eating dinner also-- but I confirmed that with Valeria when we pd the $500 fee-- so Monica is wrong---- now, let me see if I can find that email from Valeria and I'll PM you with it....

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I know you will have an amazing day!!!

They look amazing- he'll LOVE them!!!
