Hailey, That is a great idea! I am at the resort from June 3rd-10th. I have talked to the wedding coordinator on the phone multiple times. There are specific bouquets and cakes to choose from. (she has a bunch of pictures). I told her I wasn't good with any of the cakes in the picture, so she said just to make sure I bring a picture of what I want with me, as long as it is reasonable she will get it made. And the same with the flowers, although there were truly tons to choose from. I am bringing things for my centerpieces, just in case. My girlfriend got married in Mexico 2 years ago, and when she arrived she met with the wedding coordinator, and went over every detail. Everything went really well. I'm also a "type A", but we have to try to not worry ourselves with the small details....it will be beautiful no matter what. My TA said the main thing to be a destination bride, is to be flexible. I have less than 60 days as well, and I am extremely excited. This Saturday is my bridal shower, and my MOH has rented a wine bar for the afternoon, it should be fun! Let the festivities begin!!

Great pics!! Thank you for posting them!!

Soon2bePowers....it is right around the corner. I'm getting excited. June 6th for me at the Valetin

I would like the starfish candle holders (5), and the turquoise chair sashes. How many sashes are there? Thanks.

I haven't...yes the clock is ticking....75 days to go! My bridal shower is in 2 weeks, and should be fun and get me more excited

WOW!! Great post, thank you for all of the helpful information and great idea about an "event" at dinner....I will look into it and let you know!

I would like the blue ribbon, and starfish if still avail??

They look fabulous!! Thank you so much for your "leg work" on this!! THANK YOU!!

Do you have anything left?? If so, please let me know what...thanks!!

WOW! They look great!! Do you mind attaching the actual one you did? I want to do it similar and change some colors, but I'm not nearly as good on PP.

WOW! You have done so much work, your website is very impressive!!

Welcome!! Pictures are always appreciated! I will make sure to post my pics when we are back as well. Mine wedding is June 6th this year.... good luck with posting the pictures!

Kits, do we have a time frame on when ours should be done? I'm excited to see them!

I'm sure in Feb-Mar 2010 you will be an expert on the location, and it will be a beautiful time of year to go.

great advice...I had no idea about projectwedding.com it is great! Thanks!

I can give you my travel agent if you would like. All I did, is pay the 800 to secure the resort for the date. And then my guests can book through their own travel agent, or with mine. If they use mine, then they just fill out a form on my website, with the dates they would like to go, they have until the wedding to pay her, and THEY give her a 150 deposit to lock it in....I didn't have a lot to do with my guests booking rooms, or thier travel. I just have the travel agents information on my website. Here is my website, hopefully that will help. Colby & Rob - wedding website by mywedding.com

I only had to do the 800 for the wedding deposit. I didn't do a "group" rate on the rooms for that reason. I had everyone just book on their own, and it worked out well so far. I hope that helps Hoopchic.

WONDERFUL!! Thank you for all your "foot work" on this! I can't wait to see them!!

They all look amazing!! How hard was the "etching cream" on the flutes, they look professional!!

a bit of an update: I called today and Lupita is out unitl May. I spoke with Alana, she is very nice!! VERY NICE!! I asked her to email me pics of cakes and flowers that we get to choose from. I arranged my reception dinner for the night before out on the "Plaza", which is the area outside by the waterfalls. Then I have the cocktail & hor 'dourve party following the ceremony on the beach on Saturday. I am much more relaxed and excited after talking to her. Colby & Rob - wedding website by mywedding.com

I'm good with two sided as well. And can you send me the images as well. THANKS!!

FABULOUS JOB!! I love them! I like the black without swirls, or the sun. I actually like them all.... I'm fine with any of them you choose. And I think the pricing and shipping is great! I can't wait to see them! Thank you for all of your work on getting this done. 121 days until my wedding.....28 people booked!! Colby & Rob - wedding website by mywedding.com

I'm in for these....I could use 50. Send me a PM with your address and the total I owe you. Thanks! I like the sun or the palm trees, I also like the logo.

What other items do you have?

Very helpful JUSTUSTWO, thank you for your input as well. I'm sure your bags will be used more than you thing
