There is supposed to be a special on Friday too that leads up to Sunday!!

Thanks for posting

Thanks for the post :-)

Thanks ladies for all the pics. He is my photographer for my wedding on Nov. 14th..OMG. At least that is one less thing to worry about :-) I agree that he is a doll and I am excited that he is shooting our wedding!!

Thanks Ladies!! I am getting my dress this week and I didn't want to seem cheap. I had no idea what proper etiquette was for this situation. She is a nicce lady and came to my house for fittings, but I am also paying $325 for a hem, a bustle and taking it in a pinch at the top. That is more than I paid for my dress (i got my dress at filenes running of the bride for $225!!)

I dont have a MAC :-( I did hear that program was great!

I get my dress next week and have no idea if a tip is expected and if so how much to give? She owns her own business and I'm paying $320 for hem and bustle and slightly taking in the top. What do you think? Thanks :-)

I just read that too..lol..I cant wait for next season, the next book..all next year :-(

Thanks ladies. I am in the process of checking all the sites now. I have to make sure i get it before we leave..yikes. Have any of you used more than one program to make photobooks? Which was your absolute fave? I want good quality and price :-)

Hey ladies, I am in the process of editing my DIY photos that my MOH helped me with. Where did you ladies go to make your BD photo book? I have no idea! Thanks!!

I wish! My girls all want to wear heels...I would love some flip flops and shells, but they dont want to hear it...I say its on the beach and they say its still a wedding and that gives them a reason to dress up..lol..who knew? must brides have the opposite problem :-)

That is so cool!!

Sorry to hear about this situation. Personally I would talk to him and tell him how I'm feeling. IF he cant respect how you feel then maybe its time to reevaluate the relationship and see if this is something you can deal with or something you need to step away from. If it was the other way around, how would he like it, especially if he told you how he felt and you didn't take it into consideration. I live by the motto "treat others how you want to be treated" I would never continuously do something that upset my FI and I would expect him to do the same - Especially when it comes to ex girlfriends. Whatever you decide - I wish you the best. Keep us updated!

Thanks ladies...im still confused. The problem is that the girls want to match..can you believe it..lol...they want to coordinate but dont know what to choose....please keep the options flowing :-)

Love it! Thanks!!

Great idea..thanks!!

Thanks Ladies. I think I'll try to fit the stuff in suitcases divided between me,FI, mom and step dad :-)

I bought my girls there dress and I have no idea what color shoes they should wear. The MOH says silver with silver accessories. My mom thinks gold and my other BM thinks pearls with sandy colored shoes. I have no idea. What do you ladies think? Here is a pic (the dress looks way better on btw..lol) Thanks for helping!!

Great Thanks!!

I will take 7 shots..one for good luck..hehe. Another thing we have in common: we flew my gramndmother down from FL to be at the courthouse when we made it legal since she cant go to mx...great minds think alike :-) I did some of my guests since I see all of them often and i am horrible at keeping a secret..ans so is my family. but they mostly all knew our plan ahead of time because we told them about the whole having to give blood thing for legal ceremonies in MX and we picked Oct 8th since it was our 9 year anniversary so everyone thought it was cute we have 2 double meaning anniversary. The Pure chille out bar menu price includes rental of the space and bar so for the grill menu I am paying $58 per person. Here if the email i got from them explaining pricing for the private reception: For a dinner reception we have several menu options, I am attaching a document with all the menu choices ( all buffet ) for 2009 The prices that you will find are in USD per person and already include the private space, our “PURE-CHILL-OUT-BAR, special decoration, beverages from the regular bar menu and the service. Special decoration means : all the wooden columns of the beach bar will be decorated with white fabric and palmtree leaves, white tablecloth and chair covers with bows, an arch of white balloons and a podium for your guest book at the entrance and candles decorating the walkway. For up to 50 guests we have enough space inside the bar, including the buffet and dancing space. With reserving the dinner reception you will have the Bar available for your group until 10:30 PM. Some of our wedding packages include already extra flower decoration which could be used afterwards for decorating the reception area. You can pick the type of flowers still upon arrival, together with your bouquet etc. Extra flower decoration is available at an extra cost ( for example center pieces for the dinner tables ). I am attaching some pictures of past wedding receptions so you can imagine the place a little better. Please note that some of the flowers and extra table decoration ( give aways ) are not included. Those were either ordered separately ( a flower arrangement per table is about 30,- USD ), or brough by the bride. Music during the reception is not included. We are offering a DJ service , this includes that we are preparing the CD`s with your choice of music, we provide a microphone for speeches / toasts ( you and/ or your guests ), and our DJ/MC is available for the usual announcements. For example when you are arriving at the reception area, the first dances and the cake cutting ceremony. This service has a cost of 100,- USD per hour. Background music without DJ/MC/microphone is available at a cost of 40 USD per hour. I hope this information was helpful to you, please let me know if I can be of any further assistance . Looking forward to hearing from you soon again Let me know if you need any more info. BTW - I love the cups and koozies!! They are awesome. I'll post my pics later tonight so you can see mine!! I booked my photographer for 8 hours but i was lucky enough to find him and post about him before the others on BDW so I got him for a great price. He may be increasing his prices soon thanks to all of our BDW brides telling him how wonderful his prices are..lol.. What time is your wedding? Mine is at 3:00 and the reception starts at 5. Maybe that will help determine how long you need the photographer? I know some brides who do all the special things (cake cutting, first dance, etc) early and then they excuse the photog after that...just another thought :-) Happy planning!!

That is the cutest story!! I love it. Congrats!!

I agree with the lasied. It would be great if you personalize them. That would be too cute :-)

Wow..Nov 12th is my step dads b-day so we will be celebrating that out there..I'll make sure to take an extra shot of tequila in celebration of your anniversary.. :-) I will make sure to find all of that information for you! No worries there. Congrats to your brother. I am so happy for them and for you!! Lots of happy memories are going your way, with the wedding and the baby - isnt it great! I am also doing the renewal of vows (we just got married here legally for our 9 year anniversary!) We picked Nov 14 since my FI proposed there last year on that date. I am doing the OOT bags and i have wedding cups that have our name and date and the saying "arriba abajo al centro pa dentro" on the back (our tequila shot chant) we also have personalized playing cards, water bottles, candy, postcards and a welcome letter..I have no idea how im getting it over there. I also have fan program (which i still have to assemble) that i have to take too..boo. I am doing the private reception with the Grill menu and am getting my hair done there at the cat salon. I have a person I found on this forum doing my makeup. Let me know if you have any questions or need advise or vendors cause I worked with some great ones! The personalized cups are great and I got them so cheap and they were a pleasure to work with as is the photographer I hired. Thanks for the great wishes and I know both of our weddings are going to turn out beautiful :-)

I head out there November 7th. OMG...so close. I went there last year and saw 2 people who were handicapped and they told me they loved the freedom they had to move around, so that is a plus. My grandfather is now unable to attend (he is in a wheelchair) and my mom has problems with balance and the sun also so she has trouble with steps and too much walking so I agree that this resort is perfect. I will definitly come back with tips, suggestions and hopefully all happy memories and details to pass on to you Meyer2010 and the rest of our cat brides :-) I will def tell you if there are any unexpected hurdles with my mom over there, but i doubt it. I think our moms will be fine Thank Morgan for the tip! You always come through for us :-)

I am getting married next month and I have so many things to take with me. Did anyone send it ahead of time to the resort? Which carrier did you use? I have no idea if i can take all of this stuff on the plane with me to RM, MX. What did you ladies do?
