I like that! Really cute Quote: Originally Posted by OCMDBride05152010 I think I'm going with something simple and cute like: _______ & _________ invite you to dig your toes in the sand and take in the view as we join in marriage and say I DO!

Created all of these using powerpoint and then had the magnets and postcards printed through Vistaprint. I'm really happy with the way they turned out! Here's the magnet: Front of postcard: Back of postcard:

These look great! You can tell you really put a lot of time and effort in to making these

Wow that's scary! Is it because of the Easter holiday? Quote: Originally Posted by pebbles Hi Jenny84, I noticed that you're getting married a day before me and you're from Canada!

Our travel agent is trying to make some requests to the hotel but it doesn't seem to be working. The only other option is for some of the guests to stay at the other resorts (i.e tropical, etc) but I want to avoid this. I want everyone to be at the palace. Sabrina

Thanks for the heads up. I have 2 outlet stores near me, but they never seem to have outlet prices. I'll check to see what the travel sizes there go for!

Love these! I am thinking of doing the same thing with waterproof stickers instead of paying extra for a company to customize them.

I was upset that they took away the package option of having the mariachi at the ceremony too. I think I am going to pay for them to play 1 set at the reception. I originally was thinking of paying for them to do the ceremony, but I don't think the ceremony runs 45 minutes long, so I might be losing out there. Quote: Originally Posted by FutureMrs.D I know, eh! I was upset about that too... Are you going to have them for the ceremony or at the reception??

Wow had I known this was changing I would have booked at one of the cheaper hotels in the resort. Just checked the hotel website and it looks like it's true: For 7-night stays, you will receive 4 tickets valid for any of the restaurants. For 4-6 night stays, you will receive 2 tickets. Restaurants are subject to availability. Barcelo Maya Palace – Riviera Maya – Maya Palace - Barcelo Maya Palace Quote: Originally Posted by Houserhead that is a real bummer.

I have already booked my DW without ever seeing the resort. I've heard so many great things I'm not really worried. My sister and I actually had a trip to Cancun booked for Jan 2010 before I got engaged, so when we go down on vacation we are going to check out the resort and meet with the WC.

Love the yellowbox Eden ones! Thanks for posting, I'm going to send to my bridesmaids to see what they think!

His parents offered to let him stay in their room the night before, but FI says he doesn't believe in that superstition. I think we may just be untraditional and stay together the night before.

Anyone know where you can buy these in the US? I heard they used to be available at Dollar Tree, but none of mine have them in stock.

These look great! Nice job

Love these... they turned out great!

So cute! Thanks for posting

My bridesmaids all agreed on one dress from David's Bridal that runs about $135 each. Fortunately, I've been able to find the same dress on ebay for less than half that price for 2 of my 4 bridesmaids. I'm still hoping 2 more will pop up in the right size and color. They were both worn once before, but never altered. My bridesmaids didn't mind because they'd only be wearing it once anyway, then have the option of reselling it again. Maybe ebay is an option for your bridesmaids?

This is exactly what I was planning on doing! Glad to hear it worked out for you. How far in advance did you send yours out and did you give a deadline for responses? If so what date did you use for the deadline? My DW is May 15 and AHR June 5, so I don't want to send them too early. Quote: Originally Posted by autjo I sent STDs to the people we wanted at the DW (75 sent). Then the invites included the DW and AHR (150 sent). The invites had an RSVP card for the DW and a seperate one for the AHR, but only 1 return envelope. This has worked out really well for us!

Good question... I'm guessing we might have 25-30 max, so that will be even worse. Does anyone know if they served frozen drinks (margaritas, pina coladas, etc) during receptions in the open air restaurants or poolside? Quote: Originally Posted by CaraW I love the Palmeras grill, but if you count the seats, there's room for just over 100 people... I wonder if it'll look too huge for a party of 55?

To be honest I'm not sure. Haven't bought them yet but am considering. Quote: Originally Posted by Patti Does it have to be completely pitch black dark for them to glow?

I saw these too... didn't like the smell though. I think I'll wait until they come out with a new spring type scent for $1.

I found mine without the raised writing at Dollar Tree. Quote: Originally Posted by jmb0902 Darn I dont think I have any Dolleramas!Any girls find others without raised writing

Love these! Wish I was as talented!
