FutureMrs.D

Thanks for all the great advice ladies!

Hi ladies, I was wondering what the etiquette is for seating arrangements at the reception... I will be having one long rectangular table so that everyone is seated together.. FI and I will be seated together at the end of the table, but I'm not sure who should be seated where... should it be the wedding party first on either side, then family? or parents first, then wedding party? Help!!

I promise to take tons and tons and tons of pics (we will being we got a new camera and it's my FI's toy!)...and give as great of a review as I possibly can! I can't imagine it being anything shy of amazing The only down side is the weather report...there will be rain the majority of the week...but I'm hoping it's just minimal showers here and there and doesn't ruin our trip! Our families have never been and are really looking forward to it...so we'd hate there to be rain and ruin everyone's pool and beach fun! So ladies...please send good vibes We'll be back on the 12th! YAHHHH!! I'm so excited Good luck, have fun and enjoy!! :-) We are all sending you the most positive vibes ever!!!

Wow, great job Lisa! It all looks great!

I think we're going to use "Falling Slowly" from the movie "Once".. I've asked my brother to play it on an acoustic guitar for when I walk down the aisle.. I think it'll be beautiful.. :-)

Hi! I'll take all of the fans off your hands... sending you a PM!

So what is everyone choosing for their reception dinner - Salad/Soup/Main & Dessert??

I agree.. my WC Gabriela had told me that square, rectangle and round tables were available for the reception..??

I absolutely LOVE this dress! So funny, because I was seriously considering this dress when we thought we were getting married at home... I say go for it!!

I was just wondering what everyone elses experiences were with 'holding' vs. 'confirming' your wedding date. Did you receive some sort of official confirmation email? Thank you so much for the help! Once we had our trip booked, I sent the WC a copy of our travel manifest via scanned email. I heard back from her about 1 week later and she confirmed our date and time were now "officially" booked for our wedding.

Just emailed you Sandra! Thanks so much for letting us know! ;-)

Hi Darcy - I'm a street size 10.. wondering if this would fit me?? It's a really pretty dress!!

I just PM'd you! :-)

Beautiful!! Congrats!

What size is the dress? And how much are you asking for it?

Info on this? That was one reason we were telling people they should stay at the Palace besides the fact that it is new and awesome, but they wouldnt have to have buffet dinners every night when they arrived before the wedding events started I've read this also.. I believe you get 4 A-la-Carte restaurant tickets for a 7 night stay.. I saw this on the Unoffical Barcelo Maya Forum/website..

But I really wanted to walk in to the mariachi's playing the wedding march at the ceremony. What are you thinking of doing? I was thinking of getting them for the reception.. but not sure at what point during the reception I would want them to come in...during dessert? earlier? later?
