I agree, the new forum is wonderful, but I miss the pics!! I love the confession thread, so glad I stumbled accross it!

Oh thanks so much! Our colors are black, white and hot pink and they were so cute!!!

Hi there! Welcome to the Forum!! There is a TON of great information and ideas! Happy planning! -Jen-

I was told since my wedding is so soon I won't have access to the site, but at the rate of how quickly things change who knows... at least my times and locations have been confirmed!!!

Thank you for such a detailed review! I am getting married at the Royal in about 2 months and am SOOOO excited!!! Where did you get your cake topper? Super cute!!

Oh great idea..... I might do something like that with small tea lights! THANKS!!!

My dress came in and I finally got to see it after about 4 months. It is wonderful and I love it even more!!! Next week alterations!!! I'm so excited!

A sweet heart table is a great idea! Thanks! My divorced parents (one re-married and one in the middle of a divorce) are both coming and I can't imagine putting them at the same table...LOL!!! So for the sake of chosing between parents I think we will sit alone...HAHA!!

Interesting that every WC has a different answer to our questions. I am definitely bringing ALL correspondence with me to Mexico. Just another thing to organize and put together....

I think this is totally unfair! Is anyone else getting married between now and December who is doing this upgrade so I can use this as bargaining leverage? I'm angry and super frustrated! Also, I have been told that I CANNOT have the chaivari chairs anymore either I was quoted incorrectly on the cocktail hour from my first coordinator and then the second coordinator said they would not honor the original pricing. I decided to cancel the entire thing because I was so annoyed. Plus my reception is right after the wedding....if people want a drink they can go to the pool bar...LOL

How is everyone differentiating who is ordering what? I saw someone did different colored ribbons. I was thinking about maybe doing different types of mini tequila bottles or maracas. I better decide soon...Its becoming crunch time!

I was sent the same multiple menus. I chose different entrees from different menus. I figured if I was given those menus I could choose what I want...although that was 2 WC's ago.....I'm due to send in my checklist in the next week....I'll let ya know what happens.

I have a friend who got engaged after my invites went out and is getting married a month before my wedding. To top it off she emails me telling me how much it would mean to her for me to be there not understanding I am using all of my vacay time for my own wedding. Is it bad that I am going to hers, not expecting her to come to mine, so she will feel bad? Thanks for the vent!

Target also had the first aid kits for .97 in the travel section. We also did travel size Aloe's as well.

I was told yes, but you have to clearly mark which guest is getting what on the place cards. I would double check with your WC so you have it in writing.

I got the call my SaBelle dress is in!!! I am soooo excited to go see it again on Monday. Hurry up Monday!!!!

I live in Vegas and there is a TON to do. Some of my favorites: Mon Ami Gabi at the Paris. They have a patio on the street accross from the Bellagio fountains. Make reservations, but the patio is first come first served. As for shows, I would recommend "O" at the Bellagio, Love at the Mirage or Le Reve at Wynn. If you are into the club scene XS at Encore, Surrender at Encore, Vanity at Hardrock, Tryst at Wynn or Tao at Venetian are all fun places. I know the helicopter tours to the Grand Canyon are very popular. As for the free things to do in Vegas: the conservatory at the Bellagio; it changes seasonally, the lion habitat at MGM (super cool if u get there around feeding time), Freemont Street, the neon sign tour on Freemont (a few of the old vegas hotel signs restored) and of course the Las Vegas sign which is south of Mandalay Bay.

Sarah, Thank you so much for the feedback!! I would much rather someone be assertive in the information they need. I cannot believe how much incorrect information I received from my first WC and then they would not honor what she said. Annoying, but fortunately not a big deal! Jen

Giraffe- Thanks for your feedback! I just hate how they don't tell u your WC has changed until you contact them. Oh well....here's to smooth sailing for the final 2 months!!

I'm already waiting 2 weeks for her to confirm the DJ as this was the last this I did with Julie so I wanted to be sure it was done. Then she tells me I can only choose 2 entrees but Julie said I can choose more and I just have to let the resort know ahead of time how many of each dish they need to have and then do the color thing on the tables. She asked me to send her the email which I did and she still hasn't confirmed!! These are just 2 of like 10 questions I have for her. She is driving me CRAZY!!! I just sent her a message saying I know she's busy with other brides but with 4 months to go I really need her to answer me in less time than she currently is. I'm going to give her until Friday if not I'm going to have to call. I'm really missing Julie now because I would wait 2 days max for a response. Ok, I feel a little better now OMG I feel your pain. I am now on my 3rd WC since December. This is getting rediculous. I am now working with Rebekah. Anyone have any experience with her? I'm just ready for it to be here already!!!

OMG Juliet and I are the next ones up....AHHHHH!!!!!

At least my TA said people are starting to book. Before we had RSVP's and people hadn't even booked yet. Annoying!!!

Juliet- We are doing the wedding in the gazebo and the reception on the beach. OMG I totally know what you mean....I was so calm until about 2 weeks ago when I realized I needed to collect the rest of the RSVP's and jump on the gym bandwagon. I cannot believe it came SO fast!! -Jen

I think I got cut off the list....opps!
