I just didn't want mini and jumbo fans!!

I agree with giving options. I am actually have a hard time with this. We sent out STD's and our travel agent needs deposits in the next month or so. With a STD you don't do a RSVP thing so I have been relying on what people put on out website!

You look amazing! The wedding looked fabulous!

Wow, those look great! I think we are going to do ours ourselves also.

I read a few comments about the Oriental Trading fans saying that they ranged greatly in size. Did any of your experience this?

Welcome Happy Planning!!!!!

Welcome! Happy Planning

Welcome We are getting married at the Valentin, in Rivieria Maya. We are going to have a symbolic wedding there and get legally married here before we go. We are going to ask our grandparents (who will not be attending the DW) to be our witnesses at the courthouse. Happy Planning!!!

I know that they are sold. But where did you get the starfish charms from?? I would love to buys some. Thanks so much!

Hey girls, I just wanted to let everyone know I just got my order from vistaprints.com and my STD's look great. I ordered 50 oversized postcards-STD's 10 Thank You 1 Pad of paper 1 pad of post-its 100 return address labels 25 magnetic business cards 1 more thing but I can't think of it All of this was free! I only have to pay shipping and total it was $20. You can reorder, in case you need more of something! There stuff is great! Very colorful and they have lots of beach scenes. All of the stuff I ordered have the same beach scene on them. With some stuff you can upload your own pics. Once you order from this company you get lots of emails with more free offers. I have ordered twice and have been very happy with everything. If you order the regular sized postcards they have a small vistaprint logo near the bottom. The oversized ones don't. I plan on using a picture from the wedding and making my in town reception invites-using another postcard. I was so happy to learn about this site, so I thought I would pass it on.

Okay Ladies I need some help! I am the 3 out of 4 best friends to get married. I didn't expected to be getting married yet, so I recently gave my great BM gift idea away to one of my best friends. Coach clutches, monogramed hand mirrors. Now I don't know what to get. I want something special and unique. I am buying there dresses (they don't know that yet) but I am looking for something more. Something extra special. Any help would be great appreciated!! Thanks so much!

I did not have much luck in the email department either. I finally just called, they have a 1-800 number. I got a hold of Guillermo the 2nd time I tried. They said my date is confirmed but I have gotten anything aside from the email in writing. I sent another email yesterday and if I don't hear back by Thursday I am going to call again. I know, because of friends living out of the country, that sometimes internet goes down or off and on. I don't know if that is what is going on but when I spoke with Guillermo I felt comfortable enough to book my date. I can't wait to see everyone's pics!!

Amyrak I think you are the first bride on the forum getting married at the Valentin! I can't wait to read your review and see all of your pictures!!! Your big day is getting so close!

Welcome to the forum. Happy planning!!

Welcome to the forum! Happy planning!

Congrats and welcome! This is a very additive site, I find myself on it at all hours of the day!! Enjoy!

Welcome and happy planning. I think all of your wants for your wedding are very obtainable!

Welcome to the forum! Happy planning!!!

My wedding is on a Thursday. Most of our guest are coming down Tuesday and staying until Saturday (4 nights 5 days). We aren't really planning anything aside from the wedding. I really want our guests to enjoy the time as their vacation. We have plans to go places and will announce that to everyone, but we didn't want to plan things officially because we didn't want people to feel like they had to come. I went to a DW this summer and they planned a ton of stuff! I just wanted to do my own thing and explore. I felt bad missing the things they planned. I didn't want my guests to feel that way.

Where did you order these from? I love them!!! Quote: Originally Posted by Melba I just ordered these, I was waiting for them to come in stock.

It looks great! How long does it last? What is the up-keep like?

Pick whichever dress makes you feel best. I am sure you are going to look beautiful no matter which dress you pick! Good Luck and keep us updated!!!

You look great!!

Does anyone have any photos they could share of the Valentin. I have booked my date and would love to see some more pictures. I have been emailing with Guillermo he told me that I will decide a lot of stuff when I get there. He said that there are several outdoor places to have the wedding and several places to have an outdoor reception. He said that we will walk around the resort and make decisions when we get there. Is this info, the same as you are getting? or are they having you make these decisions ahead of time? Also, did any of you put a deposit down? Guillermo told me to send him the confirmation that I have booked travel with them and that was all I needed to to do.
