Hey ladies Sorry this took me so long. Our wedding took place on November 26, 2009 at the El Dorado Royale outside of Cancun, Mexico. We were lucky enough to have Citlalli Rico and her assistant Tamara from Claudia Photo do the photography for our wedding and TTD. They were fabulous! Everyone loved them! Here are just a few of the pro pics! Enjoy!

Hi ladies I didn't really haggle on anything extra, although I know a lot of people have. I was considering doing the wooden runner, but decided against it once I got there. Since we used the iPod station in both locations (cocktail party and reception) they did one for half price - fine by me. I wanted my planning and time there to be as stress free as possible, and by this point the few extra $$ weren't going to make much difference to my already-blown budget We used the free supper at El Cocotal as our 'welcome' supper. We went with the menu that had carmelized chicken or beef tender

Ladies, I recently had my wedding at EDR, and it was FABULOUS!!! The food, the service, the locations, everything was great! My guests loved the resort and were so happy we had our wedding there. We had our ceremony at the Presidential Gazebo, with a cocktail party at the Fuentes gazebo and a private supper/reception at Tuscanes. Hopefully I will get my review done soon with some pictures

The bags are from Ten Thousand Villages CORR - The Jute Works Jute Shoulder Bag | Ten Thousand Villages Canada I didn't see them on the US site, and they are out of stock on the Canadian side. They were $9/bag. You could always call to see if you could order them. They were a big hit!

If you send me your email address, I will send you the tags as a pdf. I made them in Corel Draw if you'd prefer them like that.

I just got married a little over a week ago at the El Dorado Royale and loved it!! If you hae any questions about the resort or the wedding, just ask!

I do have the templates, but they are done in CorelDraw. Let me know if you can use them in that format. I could also send them as PDFs

Joanne - love the pics! Jess - welcome home!

Favours I ordered Jelly Belly jelly beans in Cream Soda, 7 Up, and Rootbeer flavours. I put them in little cello bags and used the same small jute bags that I used for the gringo recovery kits. And that's everything!

Hey ladies Thanks to this forum I was constantly thinking of new things for my OOT bags. I can say that without a doubt the biggest hit was the pashminas! The ladies loved them and constantly used them. My colors were green, brown and ivory. Oh Sh!t kits Bought first aid kits from the dollar store and made a label for them. Pashminas Thanks Jacilynda for helping to put together this order! Gringo Recovery Kits I ordered small jute bags online and made the tags for the kits. I put Advil, Immodium, and Crystal Light individual packs in them.
