Hello Kristen! Welcome to the forum. I met Kristen last week and invited her to join the forum.
I'd start by going through the Los Cabos section of the forum and then post your questions!
Cabo Forum - Best Destination Wedding Forum ~ The Ultimate Destination Wedding Resource
We love to help around here.
As has been mentioned, ours came in the white boxes. I got a stamp made with the bride and grooms name and wedding date from vistaprint.ca, in the wedding colour, stamped the boxes and put them in the OOT bags like that.
Which tour operator are you going with Tara? You might find some options on the web site of the tour operator or in the brochures. I have a brochure and price list but please note they are from March 2009 but hopefully it gives you an idea. Hope this helps!

My daughter did something very similar to you Morgan. Grew her hair long for the wedding then let it grow for about another year until she couldn't stand it any longer. It was to her waist when she cut it and donated the hair (I think to Locks of Love but not really sure). Really short in the back and longer in the front but her hair is very curly and she lets it dry like that. Can't wait to see your after pictures!

What are some other options for continuing with the party? Is there a disco there everybody can go to or are there other bar areas at the Riu that are open until 1 or 2? I read another persons post where they are renting out the ballroom and planning their own wedding (not getting a package) but that seems like too much of an ordeal for me. I'm trying to get the best stress free wedding possible!
There is a disco at the Riu Vallarta and there are a couple of bars that you could go to after the poolside bar gets closed. We planned to go to the disco but honestly we were just too tired the day of the wedding. I think the disco opened at 11 (maybe 10?) and I think it was open until 2 or 3 am.
I can't believe that it is your turn to go away and get married already! Everything looks so well put together! I love your belts, hair flowers, and fabulous friends booklets! I can't wait to hear how it all went and see pictures of the final event! Good luck and travel safe!

From the sounds of it not ALL guests originally booked at the Riu Vallarta are being upgraded to the Riu Palace Pacifico. The Riu has actually been really great about this whole change. I'm glad to hear that they are working with you. You must be getting so excited!
Oh my goodness Jessica! What a stressful thing to have happen to you so close to the wedding! I'm sure it will all turn out for the best but it must be so stressful for you. Good luck and let us know how the Pacifico is! As far as I can recall you will be the first bride from this forum there!
