I'm concerned about having our reception on the beach because I just don't think she'll be able to deal with the sand, especially all night. I feel like the only other choice for our group (70 people booked) is in a banquet room. Am I missing a location? I think that's it, right? I'm really hoping we can do the Plaza area. You are correct. The only other oprtion for a big group is the Zacalo and you can not have a DJ there. I think the Zacolo might be too small for your group. The options are the beach and the banquet room. I talked to Jo'Zeen about that because we could not have the Plaza. Hope this helps!

I spoke with the WC on Thursday and she said that the plaza will not be avaliable for our June 26th wedding. We were planning on using that as well. The only other option outside that you can have a DJ is the Beach. If you use the Zacalo you can have a sound syste, but there is not much room for dancing and "partying" she said. So now we are getting married on the beach.

Hi All, I got my bags personalized. I LOVE THEM. My girl friend does them. She charges $7.00 which includes the bags and the stitching of whatever you want. I am posting her photo bucket link so you can see her work. Her name is Shana. Her e-mail is [email protected] Pictures by shanamerl - Photobucket Hope this helps! Let her know I sent you. Thanks! Shannon

Just wanted to let you know that my FI and I stayed at Dreams less than 6mths ago and we were BORED out of minds after 2 days. I think you should stay with Azul as I can almost guarantee you will be MORE satisfied then at Dreams. beautiful resort don't get me wrong....but SOOO BORING!!!

It seems like Promotional tote bags custom sizes and styles from cheap totes now with t-shirts and screen printing is popular and so is Party supplies, crafts, party decorations, toys: Oriental Trading Thought it might be a good idea to put some sort of list together of everyone's great buys. Hey! My GF Shana does the OOT bags for $7.00 and it includes embroidery of whatever you want on them. You can e-mail her at: [email protected] She has sample ones she can e-mail you. She did mine and they are AWESOME!!! -Shannon Straughn

Quote: Originally Posted by jennik13 hey guys, how much are you spending on OOT bags per person? thanks! jenni I am paying $8.00 a bag they are embroidered too. I know a girl that does them. I can give you her contact info if you are interested. Thanks!

Quote: Originally Posted by IndianBride Nice work. What's her price range? Hey! Thanks for contacting me. Shana is trying to get on this site as a vendor, but she is waiting for approval. She said to send this to you " You can choose from 26 colors, several types of bags and I do not charge for custom patterns. If you have you own logo I can put that on your bag. I also can add some extra flare, like shells across the top or ID tags. What ever you wedding theme is your custom OOT bag will take part in your theme. My embroidery can be done on anything you need. Sweatshirts, t-shirts, hats, tote bags, even beach towels for you guests. I added a picture of a tote bag I did for one of your fellow brides. You can contact me by e-mail for any questions or ordering." Thank You and Good Luck with your planning Shana Merl [email protected]

so...i regards to the Mexican photo, I realized that they are listed on Lomos' site but not Azul's. I am almost positive they are still okay. I think Azul has not updated their site yet.

The resort is beautiful, the service was excellent, the food was sooo good and most important the wedding was amazing! I will write a more detailed review as soon as possible, but in the mean time ignore the nasty people on TripAdvisor Congrats!!!!!!! Can not wait to see and hear all the details! Do you know if Fabio is back yet?

These are the favors my GF mage for me for my home party...what do guys think? $3/each

Quote: Originally Posted by [email protected] Wow...these budgets seem pretty steep if they don't include your trip cost and photographer cost. We are spending $4000 on our trip, $2000 on the wedding package....I'm trying to stay under $4000 for the photos and food for the reception if possible. We will have about 50 people. We are also getting the DJ for $1400? So I guess with our trip cost it will be between $10-12k. This doesn't include dresses, decorations or the reception back home. Our reception here will be about $8000 with food/music/rentals. A Speed...my budget is 20,000. we are only at 14,000 right now. We based the budget on 75 ppl originally but we only have 42 people booked. The budget DOES include our trip of 9 nights. The only thing it did not include was the favors and the air fair.

I don't know which way to go with the menu! We're planning the private cocktail party then reception on the beach, but I need help with choosing the best menu. Ladies, have any of you decided how you're going with the menu and would you mind sharing? I got the idea to leave the dessert off the menu and just have the cake for dessert, which I think is a good idea... Beachbride, My FI and I decided not to have a big wedding cake, but instead have a small heart cake (which comes with the package) this way we can still "cut the cake" and we will have our regular cake at our home party. We are having cake as part of our menu. We based our budget on dinner for 75 people so that is it is less....then it feels like we saved money. We are only at 50 people now. Here is the budget based on 75ppl and then where we are now: Private Party-Dinner Based on 75 people and most expensive dinner out of the 3 chosen Salad-16.00/pp $1,200.00 $672.00 Main Course ($29.50) $2,212.50 $1,257.90 Desert- ($10.00) $750.00 $420.00 We are trying to get teh circle in the middle of the resort as our reception area, but fabio said their is another wedding the same day and if they have more people, then they get to choose first, which I think is unfair, being we booked first. But hopefully, we will be able to have it their, and he said that if you do, you no longer need a dance floor. okay...well hope this helped! ttyl <3
