We had the same problem. I looked this up on theknot.com and they suggested an email or phone call. I ended up sending a mass email and bcc'd everyone so no one could see who it was going to. I got all of the RSVPs we were lacking from that one email! I would suggest doing whatever you are comfortable with. Most of our guests just forgot - oops! I guess we are thinking about our wedding more than they are Good luck!

LOVE LOVE LOVE it all!!! Everything looked so perfect...I wouldn't expect anything less xo - so happy for y'all!

Where did you find the pashminas? Thanks!

We booked Carlos for our wedding in February. All of the great reviews are getting me really excited!!

We are doing this boat cruise for our rehersal dinner and are expecting about 55-60 people. Where to Board at Lobster Dinner Cruise Cancun We worked it out so that we chartered the entire ship and they even threw in an airconditioned bus transportation to and from the port for us for free. Good luck!

They are both beautiful, but I LOVE the second one on you!! Good luck deciding

Not small, but I really didnt want to shell out $900 that DJ Mannia quoted me & I don't need fireworks. Just great music. I was trying to decided between an iPod or a DJ & when I spoke with DJ Bob & he quoted me less almost half of DJ Mannia.... I decided to go with a DJ. I spoke with him on the phone for about 45 min. Him & his wife moved from Jersey to Playa Del Carmen about 8 years ago..... so he speaks perfect english, has a cell phone you can contact him on & is currently doing Kareoke at 2 bars in Cancun 2x's a week & weddings on the weekend! He will download any music you want to be played or you can let him choose. I am going for a site visit of our resort & he is going to meet us down there just to say hi. He has also gone to visit the resort & already met with the WC's there to see where he can set up & to get any rules they might have.... & we're not getting married until May! I was very impressed with him so far! Do you have his contact information? I want to get a quote from him....I thought my quote from DJ Mannia was a litte high as well considering my reception is only 4 hours. And this may be a stupid question, but are we supposed to tip the DJ on top of their fee? I'm not sure how that works in Mexico. Do you know what you were planning on doing? Thanks!!!

He even visited my resort for me! I will keep you posted! Julie Good luck this weekend, Julie!! I'm sure everything will be perfect Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back.

LOVE the luggage tag idea!! That's so creative!

We also booked Mike Cantrall and are so excited! His work looks great!!

Does anyone have an updated review from DJ Bob or has anyone recently booked him for a wedding? Thanks!

I don't know if there is really another option, but, it might be good to find out or at least hear from others. Thanks for the info Rhonda! I thought there might be just one approved for the resort since the Lomas website did not send me to another one, like the approved photogs. I'll wait to hear back from my WC as to who I have to use.

How exciting! Congrats

Does anyone out there have an approved DJ list for EDR? Or has anyone hired a DJ for an EDR reception that you loved? I'm looking for a DJ but I want to make sure they are approved by the resort and that they are fantastic, fun and will play good music. Thanks!!

We are paying for our BM and GM attire. They are already paying to travel to be with us so we thought we could cover this cost for them

Can't wait to see the finished product!

#2! It's gorgeous!! Good luck deciding

I would be hesitant to try your own speakers or set-up, but otherwise wouldn't worry about it. Thanks! We are planning on using their set up. I just hope it is loud enough. I apprecaite your feedback!!

See if someone who will be there minds running the iPod or MCing the deal with a few simple introductions and it will be perfect. Just my 2 cents, but everyone at our wedding said they loved it, and we were able to splurge on other things like food, excursions, etc... Did you and your guests have a hard time hearing the music? Our reception is at the white gazebo on the beach. I'm worried that the water will drown out the music. Thanks so much for your feedback on this!

We are trying to decide if we are going to hire a DJ or just use the IPOD set up so we can control what songs we dance to. Does anyone have an opinion or experience with either? Thanks!

Those are PERFECT!

Sounds great! Sunday works for me. Thanks for organizing this!

I have the ceremony script, but am not sure how to word everything that will be said, etc. Thanks!!

Oh, father and mother, sister and brother If it feels nice, dont think twice Just shower the people you love with love Show them the way that you feel Things are gonna work out fine if you only will Shower the people you love with love Show them the way you feel Things are gonna be much better if you only will That's perfect! Thanks for the suggestion.

We want to leave enough time to make sure we made enough bags etc. This is the exact reason why we are also sending response cards with our invites. We have had several people book on their own and we want to make sure we have the head count correct for everything. I used paper divas for my STDs and will be using them for my invitiations as well. I love their designs, the quality is nice and the price is right. Good luck!
