I guess I'll figure it out as I go. Melissa - I too had a couple people that I really wanted at my bach party, but it didn't work out with some girls' schedules. We still had a blast and I'm sure you will too! It's hard b/c we're all so caught up in our wedding plans that sometimes I forget that everyone else has a life going on too. I found this really great book last week, "The knot guide to wedding vows and traditions" It's so good that I have my little post-its sticking out of everyother page I can't believe everyone has already had their bachelorete parties!!! My girls are just now starting to plan mine. I'm gonna be a sexy vampire bride... bc my party is on Halloween!!!! I am so excited. We are gonna all dress up alike, pink and black theme of course. I can't wait!!! And for everyone who is hurtin' for love from friends and what not... isn't it weird how the friends you thought were just so-so are always the ones that you can count on. It's always the ones that you expect a lot from that end up letting you down. I guess that's what we get for having expectations... no matter how high or low.

Well ladies I just got the official 1-2month before "fill everything out with your choices" email. Thank goodness we can change things when we get there... I hope! And my coordinator, Anabel, was very speedy on her response to my questions this time... that's a plus

Hey all you November brides!!! This is my first post, sorry for taking so long to get on here My wedding is planned for 11/11/09 at Dreams Tulum. My ceremony time is 2pm... I'm a little worried the sun will be too blinding at this time of day. Is anyone else having this issue?!? p.s. Is anyone just now starting to freak out about this whole "when you get there everything will fall into place" thing!!! I want it to fall into place now!!!

Wow your bags look terrific!! What a great idea.

Thanks to everyone for sharing their great ideas & templates. This website and you ladies really make planning a destination wedding alot easier.

Thanks so much! Your welcome letter is terrific and is a great example for other brides!!

hopefully i will get enough points someday to access the files

Excellent Job!!! Love everything you did. Hope your wedding was just as perfect!!!

I would love to access these templates really bad. I am not sure how many points I have or need? Can anyone out there help with some points. I don't have as much time to post here as I would like, any help would be so appreciated. My daughter is getting married in November and am trying to help her out with these things. Her father (my ex) is battling cancer and she is an ER nurse, so her time is even more limited than mine. Any help you can give would be appreciated so much...........

thanks all of you. I did already book a videographer and photographer. Couldn't beat their price. $1,800 for 3 hours for video and photography. My daughter really wanted Del Sol Photography but they are way out of our league pricewise. I think we will be very happy with playaweddings. There work looks amazing. Thanks finleys7 for the spreadsheet, it did help see the different price ranges.

Awww thanks!! Shes my one and only. I love her to pieces and she is a nurse and doesn't have the time like I do. Thanks about the glasses too. It took me around 2 months to paint a few each evening. Here is a link to see them closer up http://inlinethumb08.webshots.com/43...500x500Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb22.webshots.com/43...500x500Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb11.webshots.com/26...500x500Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb63.webshots.com/31...500x500Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb41.webshots.com/45...500x500Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb13.webshots.com/43...500x500Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb31.webshots.com/86...500x500Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb43.webshots.com/36...500x500Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb13.webshots.com/31...500x500Q85.jpg My website is Beyond the Cork to see all my hand painted pretties. I never dreamed I would be painting all these glasses for her shower one day but made such a wonderful shower favor. enjoy:)

You all are totally amazing!!! I am in the process of doing my daughters invites and was looking for things to freehand but guess what, this is alot easier and time consuming. Thanks for the great links!!!

Aww thank you all!!!

Hey Paul~ You are so nice to give all those tips. We already hired you for the video and photography on Nov. 11, 2009 for 3 hours for my daughters wedding (Shara) at Dreams Tulum and are so excited. I just hope that is long enough-we are on a budget too. Your work speaks for itself and I posted anyone have any comments about playaweddings. I should have known you were one of the best out there. I researched alot of people and your videos were number one!!! Can't wait to meet you and Rachel!! We know you will make my daughter's day the most special memory!!!

Has anyone used Playaweddings? I guess its kinda late to be asking this bc we already booked them, but there work is fabulous from what I have seen. Any comments?

We have hired a photographer/videographer Playaweddings. Very excited!!! There work looks awesome. We only hired them for 3 hours. I hope that will be enough time. We are trying to stick to a budget and it isn't easy. If anyone out there has any suggestions or tips about this or anything please let us know. Thanks a bunch!!!

Thank you very much. Yes just trying to help her out. The shower was fabulous. I hand painted 86 margarita glasses for each guest. If you would like to see the pictures go to.. Sandra Baker's Photos - Sharas Bridal Shower Fiesta | Facebook

I signed in on here for my daughter Shara. She is getting married November 11, 2009 at Dreams Tulum in Rivera Maya. Shara & Ben have been together for 3 years and we just had her Bridal Shower Fiesta this past weekend. Thank you for letting us be a part of your site. BTW my name is Sandy-Mother of the Bride:)
