They do a great job...once she posts our pics i'll post them here! They will require a deposit, I believe it is 25% of your package and I believe they'll have you pay through paypal! Severine was great to work with and EVERYBODY has raved about our pics (mind you I got all 500 pics, my albumn, my slideshow, my wedding ceremony DVD and our 12x 18 canvas 4 days after our wedding---AMAZING!) I want to order the same package, but I have a question...How did the painted canvas come out? Is it worth it? Were you able to pick what picture you wanted painted? Oh, sorry I guess it was a couple of questions

I love this thread...thank you all for your pics and templates

Great choice

I actually received a response from her right away a couple of weeks ago when I was look for pricing, but now that I know what I want and my date as officially been booked she hasn't emailed me back Here is the link with the 2010 prices.. 2010 packages. Hope this helps

Very cute idea...especially the gringo in the sun kit!!!

I am apologizing to Teresa...she is FANTASTIC!!!! She was well worth the two and half week wait!!!!! I didn't get the date that I wanted but it was close.

I couldn't find a thread on this, so if there is one I apologize. I want to send a tentative RSVP with my STD's so that I can get an idea of who may or may not be attending, but I have no idea how long to give them to respond. I'm getting married in July of 2010 and I'm sending out my STD's next month so that all of my guests have exactly one year notice. Is there some type of etiquette time frame that I'm supposed to give my guests or is it whenever I want them to Help please!!!!!!!!!!!!

You did an amazing job!!! I love the idea

Congrats and your pics are amazing

Go with what you are feeling and you can't go wrong! I'm definitely leaning toward a beach ceremony, its what I always pictured, but I really don't want people swimming in the water right in front of us and getting in the pictures. When we vacationed last year in Jamaica there were tons of weddings at the hotel and that's all I saw...people getting in the way. But I'm hoping bc I'm getting married at 6 in the evening (or at least I hope..haven't confirmed anything yet) that there won't be as many people around bc they are getting ready for dinner.

It took a while to get things booked for me too, and if it makes you feel better, I booked my wedding only 3 months before the wedding date (had to move it from mexico because of the swine flu), and my chosen date was still available, as was my photographer! If you're really worried, you could call the hotel directly and book your date with whichever romance manager is working that day, and they can forward that info to Teresa so she can start helping you plan the rest of the wedding Thank you so much...

Congrats and Welcome and Dmitri is right definitely check out the Dominican Republic section, that's how I found my hotel. Good Luck and Happy Planning

I was there first thing this morning with my FI!! The OldNavy by me increased the limit to 10 per person, so he had 10, I had 10 and then we made another trip for 20 more....it was GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gorgeous..I absolutely love them

What a beautiful dress!!

We were going through the same thing and I became so frustrated that I just told everyone, at this point the only thing that matters is that Jimmy is waiting for me at the other end of the isle!! It worked everyone backed off

It looks great..but your photos are way too big

I hope they get back to you soon!!! keep us updated! (oh, i've been dealing with Inoska Rosario, not Teresa. maybe you can try shooting her an email?) That's great to hear...I think was has made this difficult is the two week waiting period of not being able to send emails because she was out of the office..so its wasn't a couple of days waiting for her to respond...i had nothing for two weeks...and I'm still waiting . But I will be patient, I was just having a bad morning...Thanks

I agree with Megan...I think that the girls will absolutely wear them around the pool! If my guests are anything like me...I NEVER have enough pair of flip flops! I think I own every color that Old Navy has... I wanted to do this to and my colors are also pink and orange:) But what are you giving the men in the OOT bags?

Thank you all for the reassurance and for letting me vent
