Thanks everyone...I watch it again and again, my husband just laughs at me (but also stops to watch it again). Like all the LC brides I just loved my wedding! You just can't go wrong getting married there. Trish and Meg - The starfish should still be at LC for you to use. I would double check with Kelly or Nicole as I think the posts on those can break off easily. I ordered it online. I don't recall the site but if you google bouquet jewelry you will find it.

Puerto Vallarta - Adventure Weddings Get married at LasCaletas, Mexico - Information about Adventure Weddings photo services OK I think the above link should work...sorry about that. Happy wedding planning all you LC brides...you made a GREAT decision to get married there!

I used the LC photographers and was happy with what they did. Actually, I was THRILLED with the entire LC experience. Kelly was amazing as well as everyone else at LC! Our wedding was by far the happiest day of my life. Here is the link to our slideshow so you can see pics from an entire wedding. They do more informal shots which we loved. If more formal portraits are what you want or there are certain groups you want shots of I would just talk to them about it ahead of time...we didn't do this...I didn't even think of it. In hindsight there are a couple of groups I would have liked to have a pic of...totally my oversight. I also thought their prices were reasonable which worked for us as we had a limited photog budget. Feel free to email me if you have any specific questions. Happy wedding planning http://www..adventureweddingsphoto.c...-slideshow-36/

Haven't really posted much here but have appreciated being able to come on and get suggestions etc. along the way. I did leave a starfish at LC with Kelly for whoever wants to use it next. It is a clear one so not sure who is next but it is there for you. The wedding was amazing and LC was all that I hoped for!

Just enjoy every minute of it!!! You must be so excited. Can't wait to see the pics and hear all about it.

So glad that you had a wonderful wedding. We are staying at the same hotel in June for our wedding. Can you give me any pointers of places to go/things to do in Mismaloya and any pointers of things to do, bring, wish you would have... etc with the hotel. We are so excited and would love some more feedback as we have not been to PV before.

Welcome, you will find all sorts of helpful info here. Enjoy the wedding planning.

I thought about getting married there and we ended up going with LC. It looks absolutely beautiful in teh pictures that I saw. We are still planning on going there for drinnks one night when we are there in June ~ if we make it there I will be sure to take some pictures of the place and post them for you. (Sorry, I know that is a long time to wait). I believe I might have read a hotel review on Trip Advisor that had someone staying at one of the hotels that was attending a wedding there...if you found that review you could email that personl for pics.

Since you have the date and the place it sounds like you are in good shape. I would send out STD as soon as you can but I don't think it is a rush (I think we sent our our at 10 months out) just so people can start thinking about going and saving-up. I would agree wait until about 6 months out to look for the dress. I am cutting it close but I just ordered mine a couple of weeks ago. Try not to stree too much...somehow it all gets done.

We are heading out of town on the 7th.

Congrats! Welcome to the forum...there really is a lot fo great info here.

That is beautiful!! I havn't found one I like so maybe I will have to look into doing this (though it looks like it might be tricky...was it hard?)

It looks great...my vote would be for the more bling the better. If not I would outline it. On a side note...where did you get the letter from?

I sent out STD's, hotel and site booked. Dress is bought,sandals bought. Almost done w/ invites to send out at the end of Feb. Photographer and Videographer done. OOt bags done. Grooms present done. Need To Do:need a veil and jewlery, Parents gifts, Maid of honor gift, rehearsal dinner booked(waiting to hear back from 1 other place on pricing),ceremony programs, favors. Who are you using for your photographer? Still have made a final decision on that yet. Finally registered today (Wasn't going to jut MOG really wanted us to...thought I better start out on a good foot and do it.). I need to start making a list so I can get a bit more organized with all of this.

Hey ladies, I am starting to feel like it is really getting close to game time and I need to be a little more organized about what I have to get done. I am getting married June 12th at Las Caletas in Puerto Vallarta. So far I have sent out STD, hotel booked, site booked, bought my dress (love it!!). Have contacted some photographers but not made a decision yet. I just have to print the invites but they are about ready to go and the ribbon etc have already been done for them. Was thinking of sending them at the end of this month as poeple have been slow to book ~ I think a lot of people were waiting until after the holidays and have now gotten lazy. We have about 18 booked so far. Like the idea about the April 15th RSVP date. Here is the stuff I still need to do:[*]Get flower girl dresses[*]get grooms pants (already picked out shirt)[*]my shoes (any ideas where to find cute sandals?)[*]decide on and book welcome dinner/cocktail hour[*]MOH gift[*]book photographer[*]finish OOT bags (about 1/2 done but hard when I don't have final #'s) Welcome letters etc. AAHH! I better get moving here.

Thanks for sharing. Everything looked absolutely beautiful!!

I'm afraid that it might be out of our price range, did you negotiate the deal on your own for the rooms or did you go through an agent? We have a TA but a but guests can also just go on any of the travel websites etc to book their own rooms. I forgot exactley what we were paying but what we got there was slightly lower than what we got from Dreams. A couple of guests may be staying at differentent places but the majority of people coming will be staying with us.

I'm still trying to figure out if we should book a place in the marina so that it's easy for guests or Nuevo Vallarta. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! We have not been to PV so our hotel was a bit of a shot in the dark and we went around adn around about it. We wanted to stay outside of PV and decided on Barcelo in Mismoloya. From what I understand it is a bit of a ride from the hotel to the marina but we figured since we are providing the transportation people would be fine with it and it is proabley the only time they would be going to the marina. Hey, it will let everyone get to know each other before the boat rid eover to LC. We'll see how that all works out, but I know a couple of people that stayed there and really liked it. We wanted an AI and I think the town and hotel are our style. If anyone has stayed there and liked it or has any pointers let me know...if you stayed there and had a poor experience I would rather not know about it at this point as we are already booked:).

That template is awesome. Would love to see the ones that people update for PV. THanks!

After choosing font, text color wording etc. I think I am just done making decsions about them. I just want to print them so that I can get them put together! Thanks ladies for all of the suggestions. I think I am going to go ahead and put the ceremony time and then have marina info on the "directions" card. I don't know what time the bus will be picking anyone up yet so I will just send something to those guest that are confirmed a couple weeks prior to the wedding or have the specific info for them at the hotel. 10 people booked so far!!

Congrats. Wherever you decide will be perfect as long as the two of you are there. I had a lof of trouble choosing as well and one we just did it we were so happy.

Congrats on the engagment and have fun planning your wedding!

Thanks ladies! You guys are so great! now I jut have to decide if I will do all orange or rotate orange and red or orange and fushcia.

Thanks! I will have to email Kelley to see if they have orange. Then I can start searching for something fun for the centerpiece.
