It will all come together! Love the bonfire idea - and there are many hotels that can pull that together. I'm considering that as well. Good luck!

So good to start planning early! I wish I had! Enjoy the boards - a ton of info on here.
-
Welcome - so much great information on here, I love all the boarding pass tmeplates. Good stuff - and good luck!
-
Welcome - you have tons of time, so enjoy the process!

Oh my goodness! I've been gone from the boards for a while and missed this - but dang, what an amazing review - and sunbride, you looked gorgeous. I love the flower in your hair, I wonder if i could do the same with a real flower (or fake, if i can find one...). I do hope they have their own tulle by now - sounds like so many glad are inspired by your design - can't imagine how much tulle they must throw out!!

Did anybody use a different DJ than the one that Sandra/Landy provided? Music's important to us, and although the boy was planning on using a DJ that he liked from the Blue Parrot in Playa, he's running into some scheduling challenges. Anyone have a DJ that might even be able to MC the event (not a lot, but just announce us and stuff, announce the dance - our tango - etc.), just run the show a bit more than what I've heard the resort DJ does. Suggestions, let me know...

The fireworks sound AMAZING! Now to see if I can, erm, borrow that idea - what a way to make the cake cutting something actually worth waiting for! (And I'm yet another queens girl - jackson heights, though I've deserted for manhattan last year. crazy, i know.)

Beautiful! I need to get crackin' on this stuff...

I'm having the rehearsal dinner at the seaside grill, and the wedding reception in the ballroom. I went in there when i visited, and it's a bit, well, bare, but suspect it looks good with all the tablecloths, lights, tulle to split the room, etc. Some guests at the wedding suggested adding more flowers to make it look nicer. There's a stage, which will look good for our tango (!) but perhaps a bit bare during dinner... like it needs a band? dunno...
Some thoughts: the beach is rocky, The guests I talked to suggested warning people to bring water shoes. I need to get a welcome email written and sent out that includes that... ack. Also warn them that it's a trek from the airport - those guests who weren't warned weren't pleased. Those who knew expected it, so that made the ride easier. I'm telling folks who can afford it to book a private shuttle...maybe I should try to organize something, but not sure yet. So much to do! I also want to arrange a trip to the ruins for the guests on friday day - if anyone's done that, let me know. (tour guide, van company, etc.) Some of the guests for the other wedding barely knew the ruins were there, and since the resport no longer does the bike trips to the ruins b/c of the construction on the road I'd like to get my guests over to see them.
If anyone out there has any email/welcome note/anything they used do pm it over! Would be good to see what others have used. Ok, I should get going here... scary how much I haven't done yet. -
And congrats to you, phalstead! My wedding's going to be at 6 at the gazebo by the seaside grill, feel free to come by and visit! PM me if you'd like any more details or to coordinate meeting up! Will be great to meet another bdw bride in person. And I can't believe it's coming up so soon - we are, of course, woefully unprepared...

Bonfire on the beach is a GREAT idea. Wonder if that could be done as a pre-wedding event as well (instead of formal rehearsal dinner...) Hmmm.... SO glad you all thought of these questions!
Did anyone end up having the fire dancers yet??
And have folks gone straight from ceremony to reception or did anyone do a cocktail hour on the beach?
Sunbride, I know you left today - hope you're having an AMAZING time - I'm sure you are.

But I'm hoping that there's at least somewhere else to go on proerty if the party actually has to end at 10:30! Ack - another thingk i didn't think of yet... -
Gorgeous - just had to chime in. I'm wearing one similar, but much simpler... are you waering a mantilla veil? Just starting to think about that...
-
Yes, thanks for the honesty - so that those of us who follow in your footsteps know what to look out for! Appreciate the honesty - and it sounds beautiful anyway. Just a good reminder for us that the little things aren't make or break...
-
My god, thank you for our review! So helpful, and appreciate your sharing your expereince for all of us just starting out...

I think I think I think (read: hope) that I'll be getting married at Dreams Tulum on June 14, 2008 - all due to Tammy working some sort of magic and getting me a date when I'd originally heard they didn't have any left (thank you!)...
So... crossing fingers that everything works out and it's confirmed.
So that's Ellie and Ari, June 14, 2008. Whee! First time in print!

so cute! How did you do the photobooth pics/magnets? Is there a link? (Just curious - I would NEVER get organized enough to do something like that. Wildly impressed)
-
Curious - what kinds of promotions do you think you're missing out on? And how would you recommend booking? Trying to figure out the best plan... Thx for your help!
