Check out www.westcoastlanyards.com for all the supplies you need to DIY keycard / tip holders and luggage tags. I've been searching locally, online, ebay, and the BDW site...and I've finally found a "one stop" shop for all of the supplies that I need. Another great thing about this company is that I live in Canada and they will ship here. I talked to one of the guys on the phone and he was super to deal with and even did the USD to CAD conversion for me so there were no surprises. This is also perfect because there will also only be one shipping charge instead of going through 4 different companies with 4 shipping charges and 4 exchange conversions. I'm super excited!! At this time we have 42 people booked (with 2 bags each so we will need 84 luggage tags)...and about 20 rooms booked (so I thought I would order 30 holders). My order (on Monday) will be 100 luggage tag holders, 100 luggage tag straps with the buckle, 30 resealable badge holders, and 30 lanyards. All of this for about $150 (Canadian) which is sooo worth it. I am designing the business cards in vistaprint as we speak...and there will be one set for luggage tag holders and one set for the keycard holder. I think this will be about $15 (Canadian) in shipping. YAY!! This is my first DIY project and I'm so excited about it

Wow...I can't really say that I see "his side" at all? Not much of an attempt for an explanation or to try to regain some of the BDW brides trust? AND why did the wedding guests pictures (lighting) look so much better than the professional photographers pictures (lighting) when the pictures were taken at the same time. I can only speak for myself...but I'm not buying it... Michelle did get quite a few nice TTD pictures the next day though

Wow!! So much thought and effort went into all of this!! It's so impressive...

Amazing!! Thanks for sharing!! I need to earn some points...and fast!!

It's all good Tlseege I am just trying to decide if I should go with someone from the resort or another vendor. I'm just thinking that maybe the DJ that you had last year may not be an employee anymore. If I could be "guaranteed" the same DJ then I would have so much more confidence in him based on your reviews. Thanks for everything...you've been a TON of help throughout this thread!!

Awesome...thank you!! Spanish (Phrases) for Dummies books are so hard to come by...so this will be perfect!!

What an awesome idea!! I love it...

I love the keycard / tip holders...what an awesome idea!! I haven't seen that yet

Hi Tlseege...can you please give me a bit more information on the resort DJ? When I start making plans with my WC at Coba, I want to make sure it's the same DJ and will provide me with the same services that you had (based on your rave reviews)...so any information (name, cost, music, etc...) that you have would be greatly appreicated!! Thanks!!

Hi Shelley...do you still have the little tags that say "mother of the bride", etc...? If so, I'm interested in them please.

That's so cool!!! I'm thinking a few girls must have taken her up on the offer...because I noticed that more than one girl had the same picture...just different names...and yours has a date in it. Very cool!!! BTW Desiree...do you kind of wish that your SIL DOES see that CNN article? From what I rememeber...she seems like a real *B* to begin with so it might be good for her to just stay home...LOL... My apologies for getting really off topic...LOL...these beautiful pics have nothing to do with swine flu...thank goodness!!!

Desiree...I'm curious...where did you get the cool picture of your names in the sand? I've seen that a few other girls have the same thing so I'm guessing that it must be an online thing...kind of like the ticker? Thanks

Welcome!! I've been here for a couple of months but there is sooooo much information that I don't even think that I've scratched the surface. I am also from Canada (Alberta)...and am getting married at the GBP but am staying in the Coba section (married at the Tulum gazebo). There is TONS of information in this thread below. It took me a full weekend to read through it!! Happy Planning!!

I am so sorry that things went so badly for you but THANK YOU so much for your post!! You did all the right things...you were so pro-active...he was just a horrible photographer!! I give you so much credit for keeping your humor about the whole situation...because your captions about your "arms in the air" pictures were hilarious!! Thank you for your warning...and I wish you all the best with your DIY photo albums!!

Too much to do with vistaprint...so little time!!

So excited Awesome!! 10 booked already...that's wonderful...and even more once you send out the STD's I'm sure So far there are 40 of us...35 out of Calgary (but from everywhere in Alberta - Edmonton, Edson, Brooks, Red Deer)...and 5 out of Charlottetown, PEI. Who knows how many more will join us if they find the right seat sale closer to October! It's going to be great

Omigosh...your story brought tears to my eyes!! I'm sorry for all the crap that you had to go through to get to this point...but based on her reaction and your caring...it will all work out. I wish you all the best!!

Hmmmm...that's a lot to walk away from...MOH, a life-long best friend, a roommate, a family friend. You two certainly have history. I'm a bit of a pushover and give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Is there any "reason" that she is emailing lies? Is there something going on with her (ie. jealous of your upcoming wedding, sad you're moving out, etc...) that would make her be "this" girl? If there is more to it, maybe you just need a heart to heart with your best friend. Above everything...be honest with her. Checking her email was wrong but letting this go any further is even more wrong. That's my opinion Hope it helps...

YAY!! Congratulations!! Do you have any more details so far? Any vacations packages booked yet? Whereabouts are you from in Alberta? I'm in Red Deer. We are also having our wedding at the GBP...staying in Coba and getting married at Tulum.

Wow!! It all looks great...and you can do so much with vistaprint!

Hi Ashley!! I'm from Red Deer too!! Small world... And we're a year (minus a day) off from our wedding dates. We're getting married on October 16, 2009 in the Mayan Riviera. Happy planning...and please be sure to share any great "Red Deer" finds that you might come across...and I will do the same for you. I'm desperately trying to get Spanish Phrases for Dummies but next to impossible to find around here. All the best to you!! Christa
