    I'm sorry you are disappointed!! if this helps-- we had my shower and bach party combined.... The shower started at 7:30PM and was alot of fun-- then at 10PM we left to go downtown for bachorlette part-- the "scheduling" part worked out really well, and both ended up being alot of fun...Good luck- hope you figure everything out!

    Hi Everyone....I had a couple of questions on hair/make and the menus I used.

     

    I was frightened to say the least about getting my hair and make up done down there but they were unbelievable. THey make up was amazing and my hair was perfect.

     

    THANK YOU!!!! I'm been STRESSING about my makeup-- have an appt at MAC to have them show me how to do it--- but I'm a bit of a tomboy and horrible w/ that kind of stuff--- so I'm just going to book the Spa to do it! -They are already doing my hair. Your makeup looks amazing- so if mine can even slightly resemble what they did with yours- I'm good to go! Thanks again!!!!

    Awesome---whoo-- took a little stress off! :)- -How would I have ever thought that M&Ms could become a source of a little stress?!?!?! Thanks again!

    A private cocktail pary was held there (Gaviotas) a few days ago, and since the Hotel was fully booked, clients that were making a little time in between a drink and dinner took over Gaviotas ( a group of 15 people that weren't invited to the cocktail) this was very uncomfortable for group guests paying extra to have this cocktail at Gaviotas, but as you know Gaviotas is not fully closed just for your event, but other guests can take the seats on the left side of the bar, and have drinks even standing up.

    The Hotel has built an Sky Palapa, is located next door from Gaviotas, this will be a Fully Private Cocktail event, with bar set up, and the same breathtaking ocean view as in Gaviotas. This was we will be able to not interrupt your cocktail party and have enough privacy for your event. The location is beautiful and I'm sure you will enjoy it very much.
    Valeria sent me this yesterday, also, with pictures of the Sky Palapa. I really loved Gaviotas, and hadn't heard any brides on this forum talk about being bombarded by another group, but obviously, this happened and complaints were made. So, I'm glad they are being proactive about it! I told her it would be fine to change it to the Sky Palapa.

    Tracy - you definitely want to check with Monica- I would have thought she should have gotten in touch with you- Valeria called me 3 times yesterday trying to talk about it over the phone, since it was a change in plans... I was just planning on having a cocktail party there- not a sitdown dinner- so it might be that it is different for a sitdown dinner....I wouldn't think anyone would approach the bar if it was obviously set up with a sit-down dinner?!?!?

    Here are the pics of the Sky Palapa that Valeria sent me....It actually looks like a good place for a cocktail hour for a smaller group- but Tracy, not sure they could even do a sitdown dinner here!??!?!? Don't know if any former brides have any input?

    I love this thread! -so I'm not the only one?!?! :)

    My mom always told me it would happen, since I never put any sunscreen on my face-- and it never burned. Last summer, out of nowhere- I got dark spots on my upper lip (nice!) and on my cheeks.... I went to a spa here in Raleigh, and bought a package of 4 lactic acid peels. The girl doing them seems to know her s**t, and after 3 of the peels, I can see a noticeable difference. I have one more scheduled- and after that last peel, my wedding is in 2 weeks. I'm now the girl who puts on 30+ on her face just to go run outside!

    The package wasn't especially cheap --it was $350, but that included a 20% tip-- so far, it has been worth it....I know wish I had taken some before and after pix!

    what to write: thank you

    We are doing something kinda similar- my parents are celebrating their 38th wedding anniversary in June- so I'm going to write how I hope me and DH will be as happy as they have been and how much I appreciate them showing me first-hand what true love is....Their life example is one I hope to follow.. --obviously, I don't have it all down--- but something to that extent! :)
