My birthday is 2 days after the wedding, and FI's sister has the same birthday as me! My future BIL's birthday is the next day! I didn't even think of doing something birthday related because I wanted everything to be about the wedding until it is over and then we can celebrate!

wow! everything was so beautiful! Congrats and thanks for the review!

If you are looking for an OOT bag for the men, here is a pretty cheap option. I was looking for drawstring backpacks and on oriental trading they were $24.00 per dozen, but thank you so much miznunu2010! I won these off of ebay: 24 Custom Embroidered Tote Bags Bridal Wedding Cinch - eBay (item 380221142289 end time Apr-09-10 09:44:44 PDT) I ended up winning them for $46, but the embroidery is free! They said they would do a palm tree for .50 cents more a bag! I AM SOO EXCITED! I am going to get "Cancun, 8-9-10" on them. I will post pictures when they come.

LOL! I was just thinking how I wish I could do more! I have the majority of stuff done, just need to do the invites! I cannot do the cups, order the OOT's or favors until I get a better idea how many guests we will be having and it is driving me CRAZY!!!!!!

Yeah they are expensive, but when I informed my mom and bridal party that they will have to bring those down too they flipped, LOL!!! I am already making each bridesmaid carry their own real touch bouquet (and threatened under penalty of death if the flowers get ruined or flattened) and I am planning on making them each carry down some mugs, so they were upset about the centerpieces. They said they don't have room and I said well you can carry it on and put it on your lap since it is glass(half joking half serious to see what they would say) not a good reaction, LOL! Maybe they will chip in just so they won't have to sit with them on their laps!!! Let us know how much the limes are! Does anyone have an updated centerpiece file that they could upload?

wow it looks beautiful! Congratulations!

I have never heard of this either! I used to work in a really ritzy catering hall and at Greek weddings the guests would throw money in the air all over while people were dancing but it was for the musicians. At the end of the night they swept it up with a broom. We used to laugh that we wanted to put gum on our shoes or glue and walk over the floor to get some tips... :-p Tip the musicians but not the waiters!!!!! Anyway I thought the Greeks were the only people that did this. I guess b/c the people who had weddings there were very snooty and rich they didn't need to do this, but at the weddings I have been to as a guest they didn't do it either. Maybe it is just a midwestern thing? I cannot believe people got hundreds of dollars that is awesome!

Candicemarie- I just got assorted colors because I didn't care, if you type coil bracelet into google a lot of websites come up but they are more expensive. Kelsavs- I have done so much b/c I am OBSESSED!!! I just ordered more free postcards off of vistaprint!

Where are you taking them to get printed? To a screen printing shop? Do you think I could iron something on or would they melt?

Yeah, I was thinking of giving it to them instead, but I wanted to put Cancun on it somehow... Has anyone ever tried to Iron on nylon? I don't mind getting them if they will use them but I hate to waste money!

I like the flip flops, very creative!

I have never heard of a lunch either, maybe a spa day but never a particular lunch. I like the slumber party idea too!

I love these! Thanks for sharing!

Those are cute, and cheaper than the personalized flip flops. I love those party flops but they are just too much $$$!!!

If you have the money do 2, it would be nice 1 per person. Maybe you can do nice paper gift bag for the OOT and use the extra $ for the towels.

Hello, Has anyone ordered these before? There are no reviews, but I was thinking since the men will not use a beach bag that we could do the drawstring backpacks for them, or at least the groomsmen... My FI said it was excessive and we should just stick with the beach bags - 1 per couple but he has a lot of single guy friends and I still want to give them the hangover kits and other stuff in the bags.... The large is 20" and $24.99 per dozen, the medium is 18" and $19.99 per dozen. What size? If we don't do this how did or are you going to give the stuff to single men? Can you iron on nylon? Is this just a waste?? Thanks!

Zuniga gave you a quote of $350 for a dance floor? Is it the light up dance floor? Just wondering b/c they gave me a quote for the light up dance floor that was first $1100, and then they lowered it to $700, and she said that is a smaller one. My transportation costs were $150 too. Did they send you a catalog or anything? She said they like to customize for each bride but I wish I could see a catalog and price list, it would make things easier. I m concerned about the size of the Tucan Terrace, I hope it is not too small! They said it would depend on the number of people I had so IDK... That Terraza Mar looks gorgeous! do you have to pay extra to have your welcome dinner there?

These are really nice! great job!

I saw this sand hourglass set and was thinking about doing this instead. There is a thread about it, and it looks beautiful and would be easier to transport. I already bought the frame but I am thinking about returning it to get this... Heirloom Hourglass Wedding Unity Sand Ceremony

thank you so much for taking that picture! It gives me a good idea of how much space that will take up. Are you packing them in your suitcase or just checking the box as luggage?

It seems as if few people are doing the packages, which is a shame b/c I want to see pictures! I am doing the Sapphire package, I love their photos of it but who knows what it REALLY looks like... If you are going to do a soloist then it definitely pays to do a package. I got real touch flowers but I plan on using the free bouquet for decor... I don't think the packages include table runners or sashes though... just ceremony decor. Last night I had a horrible dream that I was at MP on my wedding day and I had never spoken to a WC, then the spa was too booked and could not do my makeup, then I was waiting in my dress and I missed the transportation from the Sunrise to the Nizuc. As I had arrived late to the ceremony they skipped half of it, then the reception was just coffee tables with fake flowers on it, a styrofoam cake, and no music. This is bad! I still have 4 1/2 months to go and I am already having nightmares! I cannot wait to read some more reviews!!!

They look awesome! I am thinking about using them too but am worried about how much space it will take up... could you take a picture of the box with them just so we can get an idea? THanks!!!
