I've seen these in Dollar Tree as well.

Very nice job.

Looks pretty nice. It looks like Continental only has one flight a day there and it's so early in the morning it'd be hard to make the connection from most parts of the country.

Did you consider using rental cars? Rental prices in Puerto Vallarta don't seem to be too bad and if you guest list can fit in two full size vans you can cut the transportation costs considerably.

If you're planning on taking the RER between Charles De Gaulle and your hotel, be aware that many stations will not have elevators and you'll have to carry your bags up the stairs. 2.5 Days is enough to see many things. Pay attention to opening and closing hours to maximize what you can see, the Louvre is until 10pm two nights a week. This is the list of participating museums for the Paris Museum Pass. If it's busy season it could probably save you a lot of time. There are also day passes you can buy for a boat transit system that stops near most of the major attractions. Of if you just want to go for a ride, or lunch/dinner cruise on a boat you can take the bateaux-mouches.

This thread has links that say tip $0 and another that says $100-$200. Most of what I've seen says that tipping is generally not expected for officiants.

They were also inexpensive to mail out, and fitting with a DW and personal because it was the beach we were engaged on. Did they have a glossy finish on the picture side?

"rates subject to change" I wouldn't want all of my guests to debate pricing with the agents if the number I gave them turned out to be wrong.

I have been looking at tons of Passport invites and it appears that most people are just putting them in an envelope. Has anyone done something different? I'm debating between: 1) putting all the information in the Passport and wrapping it and an RSVP Card/Envelope with a ribbon 2) getting a pocketfold, and putting the "invitation" on the main panel, the RSVP card/envelope, and a more information oriented Passport in the pocket Thoughts?

Does the resort have any potted topiaries that they would be willing to relocate?

If you get married in France it will be recognized in the US. However, to get married in France, one of the two people must live in country for 40 days, and there are also additional requirements as far as locations go, and who can perform them.

Very nice, I can't even tell it's DIY.

If you want to do it, I don't think there's any right or wrong way: Jumping the broom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Paris I would try to stay along the river if possible, 1st-8th arrondissement, you can walk to a lot of the sites from there. If you are looking for a specific type of area, nightlife, artsy, etc, you can look up the differences between the districts. There are a lot of two star hotels in this area, and you'll notice that whenever you see pictures, it looks like most of the room is cut off, that's because most of them are just big enough to fit the bed and a desk. BTW, Paris has "museum cards" where you can pay one fee, and have a card for multiple days that gets you into most of the major museums and I believe you bypass the line.

We were in the same situation 6 months ago.

We used them. Those who noticed them said they thought they were a nice touch.

United also added the $5 fee for paying for your bags at check-in instead of online.

Quote: Things to bear in mind Ensure that the wind is not stronger than 5 mph. Do not release within five miles of an airport. Ensure that trees are not in the flight path. Use care around dry crops. Always keep water or fire extinguishers nearby Children must not be left unattended with the Wish Lanterns. The trees may be a problem for me. Does anyone know how long they stay in flight?

Great selection, lots of things I've never seen before there.

1) Accessibility - short flight, short taxi from the airport 2) Luxurious resort 3) Accommodation cost - seems to contradict with #2 but not necessarily 4) Private ceremony locations 5) Capacity - fewer the better

The background pictures on those looks great.
