Those pictures are very pretty! I think she did a great job. The couple might not have wanted a crazy TTD-they had a lot of pictures just the 2 of them...I would book Citalli for mine if we were doing one. I think that Leshay might be a member on here also

we aren't having anyone in our bridal party either. We both figured that it would be too hard to pick since everyone going is very close to us. I am having my best friends' kids walk down the aisle because i think it would be super cute though

I just started to look around for invitations also-I feel like I would rather get it done earlier than later. I am thinking about ordering my stuff from Oriental Trading this week but not sure because I have no idea how many people are coming

Booked photographer (Claudia Rodriguez) DJ booked Welcome party, ceremony, cocktail hour locations picked. Right now, I'm thinking about color scheme and will be checking out BM dresses (online) with sis this weekend. Oh, and going to book our I feel the same as Kristy, for some reason, I know it will all get done and I'm not worried, but, maybe I should be! I'm planning on sending out invites first week in Jan. with RSVP by 2/1. It is kind of annoying not to have a head count right now though. But, I don't want to send them out too early or during the holidays. We'll probably send out an email to everyone next month reminding them to book. So far we only have 14 (not including us). You are getting married the same day as me! I tried to book Claudia but she was already booked with yours so we are using Erik!

Maybe figure out what you absolutely HAVE To know before you leave, and the rest don't worry until you get there... I know, easier said than done. I had heard it was $30 cash for the bonfire, albeit with no snacks... that's what I am hoping for. When was the last time you spoke to them? How about calling them adn not leaving a message but trying to call back?

Anna-I am so excited for you to get married! When you get back don't forget to do your review! I know all of us will be waiting anxiously for it!

I would totally do the group rates thing but who knows if my friends want the lowest rooms or they want a suite...I am thinking of sending out an email blast explaining that they only need to give a deposit and don;t have to pay the rest until March! SO ANNOYING

(Do they have restrictions on how early it can begin?) THANKS SO MUCH! I emailed with Lizet last week and she said that it is $15 per person and you can do drinks or snacks. I was thinking about doing smores and drinks on Friday night

Hey Tiffany you are getting married the weekend before me

ugh-I feel like none of my guests have booked their stuff yet and I am bugging out about it. We are getting married at Dreams Tulum adn there are a TON of other brides out there-my fear is what if the resort is sold out? I would be so pissed-I mean, how do you force people to book? Any ideas?

look at Sunbrides also-her's was so pretty

this is my favorite thread! I love to hear everyone's after thoughts-it really helps me through the planning stages

Yari everything came out so great! Your guests are going to be so excited by everything! Great job you should be very proud of yourself

they really took a ton of picures of everything!!

thanks! My FMIL works at a shoe store and I got them this past summer

these are the shoes I am wearing for the reception. I am going barefoot to the ceremony

have you ever noticed that when she cries she makes this really scary face?

I was watching E! last night as I was on the treadmill and they said no way was Dylan coming back. His rep confirmed it too...too bad I would of loved to have seen him

no problem! A few pages ago people were all worried about the same thing. I never put a deposit down either and I was super nervous and Landy told me as long as you have your confirmation number you are fine

Quote: Originally Posted by Madbride2009 I am also concerned with the deposit... I have a confirmation number and Tammy is working as my TA... so far, Lizet hasn't mentioned anything about a deposit although it was written in the documents I was sent. Should I worry? It takes such a long time for a reply... maybe if I ask today I should get an answer by the wedding in November 09?!!! LOL If you have a confirmation number and was not told about the deposit you do not need one. It is a brand new thing

WOW!!! So exciting!!! Good luck!!!

Here's my info again, just in case! :) Username--- dreamstbride Names (optional, first names only)--- Joann & Steve Date & Time--- November 13 2008 (3:00pm) Number of guests---14 confirmed, 20 invited... Coordinator--- Sandra (at the beginning...) and now Landy Ceremony location--- Chapel Reception location---Massage Hut (waiting for confirmation) otherwise... It will be on the Beach Photographer--- We are taking a Photographer with us... Kevin Lanthier Videographer--- Resort videographer Review (link) Photos (link) Video (link) Special arrangements / activities (i.e. welcome dinner, special set-up, anything that's not the norm) Not sure if its out of the norm... But we did have a mixer thing happening the day before the wedding. I was hoping to get all of our guests to go on a joint excursion. I know of a really neat cruise that takes you out to either Cozumel? or Isla de Mueres? were you can swim with Manta ray. That is very cool about the cruise-can you provide the info for me? I would love to do that one day with my guests

I was kind of sad that the dad wasn't brandon. I find myself being into the show even though I thought I wouldn't be.

What type of shoes have you all bought or worn after your beach wedding? I am thinking of either a ballet slipper or a flip flop, but can't seem to comitt to either. I am planning on doing bare foot for the ceremony and then putting on these awesome flip flops. They are clear and they have rhinestones on them (stewart weitzman)

Quote: Originally Posted by Melissa24 Does anyone know the price of using your IPOD? Does the resort provide the docking station or do I need to bring mine from home? Do they provide speakers etc. I remember seeing it some where on the forum but now that I am looking for it I can't find it. Any help as usual is much appreciated! You should really look over the wedding guide. It talks about the fees
