Yeah I'm not sure what we are doing either - I've never been on the inside though - so flowers not necessary you think?

I know that is for sure perfect.

beach bride - loveee your dress!

yup - sounds like an upper respiratory infection - my 2 cats got each other sick also! just some meds that they don't like taking....good luck!

Heather I honestly think that is more than enough food...there is a lot there, and I really think people are going to end up mingling, drinking, and dancing more than eating anyway. I say go for it

yup - I love this idea too!

yeah I'm sending mine out 6 months in advance.

ohh ok gotcha. I've heard the CasaMagna Marriott is really nice and you can get group rates for pretty cheap (my friend got them for $120 a night I think) depending on the time of year.

Well I found these STD's I liked on Wedding Invitations, Bridal Shower Invitations & Announcements by Wedding Paper Divas but they were $1.30 each which seemed like a rip off to me for a little dinky piece of paper...so I took the background and put it on Microsoft Publisher, added my own words, and uploaded onto www.vistaprint.com - great decision! They were 20 cents each and they looked really nice - I put them on the linen paper which made them look even better. What did you end up doing for yours?

Which AI are you personally staying at? Or are you wanting to stay at a non AI also? I'm asking because we can tell you which ones are close to your hotel.

my save the dates are out as of this morning ladies - woo hoo - took forever!

I'm in Carlsbad - north San Diego County - let me know when!

thanks! does anyone know any hotels within walking distance to Dreams that are non AI? We wanted to give our guests another option besides Dreams.

Hey Ashey! Is Cheeky Monday walking distance or cab distance? Also do you have pricing? Thanks!

Welcome Ashley - I'm a Dreams PV bride also!

We are hoping for 75 in Puerto Vallarta - but I have a feeling it may be more than that - eek - don't want to go over budget!

haha this is sooo funny! watch until the end, it is worth it: Freaky Best Man Speech

I love New Balance...they run right to size for me.

yeah - let me know what you decide Andi. If you are a member of Costco they have great deals for both of those places with some perks. If you are not it may be worth the $40 membership. Check it out: Costco Travel

I've heard great reviews on Casa Natalia. Do a search and you will see them. I went back and forth with Nathalie, the owner several times. She is sooo sweet. They just ended up being more than I wanted to spend unfortunately. Good luck!

Okay here is what we have narrowed it down to - any recommendations from anyone on our list?: Casa Velas - Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Resort - Casa Velas Hotel Boutique, Mexico’s All Inclusive Resort. Villa Premiere - Villa Premiere Puerto Vallarta Hotel Spa Mexico Villa La Estancia - Puerto Vallarta Fractional Ownership - Villa La Estancia - Your Home By The Sea

I totally understand this as my grandma can't come and I was going back and forth on having the destination wedding. Mine is 84 and she just can't travel anymore - plus my mom is constantly worrying about her so I think it would be really hard to have my mom worrying about her the whole time. My grandma is okay with it which is why we ended up doing it...we are going to have a party the week after we get back though and my grandma will be there...this is what made it seem okay to me - I still feel bad though! I know there are a lot of handicap rooms. Also, the people at the airport will take your grandmother in a wheelchair to the gate and off the plane as long as you let them know beforehand.

Kelly - yay! Congrats! And I love the name Kerrington!

yeah Shanny I would be really upset as well...that is not fair - and she totally knew about the charity event. I would email her since she isn't calling you back and let her know what you know.

Heather - the only pics I have are from NYE on facebook but they aren't that great as it is dark and there are tons of people...but based on your vintage glam theme and colors, I really think it could be a great place for your reception. Is is less expensive than the Imperial Suite? Let me see if my friend's have better pics...I'll let you know
