Im having SUCH a hard time figuring out what they are all wearing. My FI wants to wear black because he thinks he will look best in a black suit, but I don't want all the GMs wearing black bc it's too hot and not beachy. So I wanted them to be in white linen suits, so is that tacky?

Also, is it OK if the GM wear flip flops and my FI wears shoes?

Ahhhhh!!

Can anyone tell us if the sand is too hot around 5:00 because that is a huge factor...I would imagine it is too hot (my wedding is in August)

Im registering for a honeymoon registry, Bed Bath and Beyond, and I haven't figured out the third. I heard at Bed Bath and Beyond they will give you cash for your returns instead of store credit!

Thanks for the info! I think I will have the GM wear flip flops and bridesmaids wear nicer flip flops with rhinestones or something. I will check out that webiste!

OK I searched this forum and didn't find anything so here the foot questions come...

1) If the groom and GM are wearing suits, do they wear flip flops? Doesn't that look funny?

2) What do the guests wear? I know some people buy flip flops for their guests, but then what do they do with their other shoes to not look tacky and messy?

3) What do the bridesmaids wear if they have a kind of formal right below the knee dress? I think it might look tacky for them to wear flip flops. I would presume that some people go barefoot but the sand is kind of rocky in Cabo and I would think that would hurt.

Help!

Great review! You look beautiful! We are using all the same vendors! Did you find the fake flowers to be that much cheaper than real flowers? I'm debating between real and silk..

Im getting a quote from Mariana soon about how much it is to rent furniture. I think she said that there are chairs, but furniture is for a price. My only concern on the beach is that there is not shade and it may be too hot to do out there. I am debating between Oceana and the beach right now.

Im using Gilda and so far Im really happy with her. I met with her on my site visit and she was extremely professional and seemed really great to work with. I think her prices are very good compared to the others as well.

I like the first one!

Thanks for the info! Im a good negotiator I'm really excited!

Oh I didn't know there was a walkable place to go swim...that is good to know. I will probably just tell them in the welcome letter/information. Thanks girls!

I actually bought mine when I did my site visit. I went up to a bunch of the guys on the beach and told them I was going to be buying X amount, what is the best price. I got 60 of them for $5 each.

Did anyone that had their wedding at Dreams already have a problem with guests complaining that you can't swim at the beach at the Dreams? Where is the closest beach that you can swim at? I have some big ocean people and I'm a bit nervous...

Great advice guys! I am going to go with together with our families." What would I do without you guys??!!

My dress cost $1800 and it's beautiful. I actually fell in love with one that was $4200 but realized that was just too much for something I will wear for one day. I would have definitly bought it preowned if I could have found it, but I didn't. If there is an Alfred Angelo in your city, they have really affordable beautiful dresses.

So my Dad is pretty much paying for the wedding, but he says if it's proper not to put parents names on the invites, he would rather not because both of us have divorced parents and that puts our step parents in a weird position. I agree, but I don't want to not put their names if it is not proper. I have looked at wedding etiquette websites and they don't really address this specific issue. What do you guys think?

I had a lot of problems with people complaining too. No matter where a destination is, people are going to complain. THe main thing is that you have to be OK with people not being able to go, especially in this economy. What I did was include a info. sheet with my STD cards that gave options for hotels. The truth is, the other hotels near Dreams are NOT that much cheaper and they are not all inclusive. THe guests have to be told and understand that ALL their meals and drinks are paid for. This is worth at least $300 in 3 days. But when my guests saw that the other hotel prices were similar but didn't include food and drinks, they understood Dreams was a good deal. As for the airfare, you have no control over that. Im sure people are coming from all over the US so there is no place that is close to every state, you know?

Hope that helps!

Oh please tell me your experience! I am leaning toward El Deseo but have not heard anything about it. Please tell me so I don't have the same experience!

I am deciding between the seabass, the ravioli, and the chicken. What do you guys think? What about apps? Does anyone have anything to suggest or to not suggest?

I did find one review where the person said it was not worth it and you could barely tell they were there, but they look so nice in the pictures I have seen of them. I am also have pink tableclothes so I was thinking it may be more obvious with a darker color than white?

How much are they also?

Thanks!

If they are staying at the hotel it's $56 a person for everything including dinner and drinks. If you want to do a higher dinner (better food) that price goes up a bit but not much. Im still not sure about the $89 for people not staying at Dreams. There is also a kid price which is 50% off for ages under 12. Hope that helps! Its a GREAT deal!!

Hey Everyone,

I just wanted to let you know of a great restaurant that was not on the restaurant list because it's brand new. It's called El Deseo and it's right on the Marina (the main strip in Cabo). It's on the modern side and has a great ambience. I didn't get to eat there, but my WC Maye said her husband (who is a chef) said the food is unbelievable. I am debating between there and Mi Casa. I have to get prices first and then I will let you guys know...but I'm leaning towards El Deseo.

I heard they do have a new club that is open until like 1:30. I was actually looking for someone how has been there because I know my friends are going to want to keep partying after 10:30 when the wedding ends!
