Congrats and welcome! I actually live about 2 miles from Carmel- it is absolutely beautiful, and I think a great place to have a DW! Of course, since I live so close, I see it often, so I will be going elsewhere. However, the scenery is wonderful, world class food everywhere... I always see weddings on the beaches! Good luck, and happy planning!

Congrats and welcome! One of my best friends did a cruise wedding (they were married in St. Thomas) and it was one of the best trips I've ever been on!!

Welcome! This site is awesome!!

Congrats and welcome!

Lisa, thank you for sending the info! The FI and I are going to do it together--- starting on Saturday. I'll put a ticker up and inform everyone about my progress... I'm also curious about the diet soda thing. I am pretty much addicted to diet coke, but if I have to give it up.....

Congrats! Those are fab-- I cannot wait to get mine!!

I'd really like to try this too! I'm going to try and PM you Lisa (never done it before) w/ my email!

Congrats!! This is the best place to be to do all of your planning! Good Luck!

Josie, you look so gorgeous in your new siggy pic! Welcome Sammy! The best way to start is to read this entire thread from start to finish. You'll get SO much info! It will take awhile, but it's WORTH IT!

Thank you so much for the review! I have been anxiously awaiting, and my FI thinks I'm crazy because I was like, Desiree is getting married tomorrow.... Desirees getting married today!! haha You looked absolutely gorgeous, and I'm so glad you had a great time!!

Ok guys, these save the dates have been more hassle than they should have been. HOWEVER, since they were the mans idea, I am running with them at full speed. Still have no pics! Blah. On top of that, we are moving... I hate moving more than anything!! Of course, who doesn't?! Katie and Dez--- LOVE THE NEW PICS!! Anxiously awaiting Dezs review and pics too! I know I'm NOT alone! Happy Bride- I did get a quote from Wendy, we are staying 12 nights, and she quoted 2460 per person. I checked the Riu website, and it was less than theirs... but she also said that they do 'Price Match', where if we find a better deal, and it's the same package, they will match it. Has anyone ever dealt with anything like that?? It sounds great, but anything that sounds too good to be true is always scary... Samira- what were Wendys quotes like for you? Would you mind passing along the other TA's info? Would you still consider going with her because of the 'price match'? WOW Shellk- you have been so busy! I love it!! I have been wondering about the shoes too... My FI is set on the beach, even though I'm jealous of all of you girls in the beautiful gazebo! Oh well, it's all the same. Except that I may not be able to wear some fabulous stilettos I'm sure I can do ok in some equally fab wedges... wobbly... I have been trying not to do what Katie did (and please do post a pic!)-- buy shoes and return--- I know myself and it would be a super vicious cycle. No shoe shopping for me until early next year when spring stuff comes out again EDoherty- CONGRATS on the job and Condo!! What great news! Please post pics of that dress of yours!! and welcome Lindsey! This thread is priceless!

Those are fabulous! I think I will make some too

THANK YOU FOR THIS SITE! We'll be ordering soon!!

#2 is my favorite!!

Wow! Fabulous! These are going to be a hit with the FI

Love them!!!

WELCOME! Happy Planning!!

Been gone for a few days!-- Wow, Desirees wedding is THIS WEEKEND!! Everyone keeps telling me, "before you know it, it will be here" and I feel like it is lifetimes away... however, I'll have all of your weddings to hear about in the mean time...that makes me feel SO much better! Josie-- love love love your stamps! I didn't even know that was an option! Thanks everyone for the opinions on the 80% thing-- I'm just going to do as I was advised- tell them that the RPRM is the place to be! Wendy got in contact with me today-- so I'm excited to hear back with her quotes and such Lisa- Your invitations are great! I'm doing the save the date cards this weekend, so I'll post pics--- I can't believe your wedding is 3 months away! I'm still in denial on which month we're in... when I first read about Desirees wedding being Aug 1, it seemed so far away. And it's here! Now I'm going to do to you what I hate, "Before you know it, it will be here"

Welcome!! I am getting married in Playa July 6, 2010. I have been reading reviews, and people are saying it is hot, but not unbearable. You are in a good spot, because you can read reviews of others that just got married at the same time of year. Happy Planning!

Welcome and Congrats! I am also getting married in Playa in July of 2010. This forum is wonderful, answers all questions + gives you so many ideas!! Happy planning!

Congrats, welcome, and have fun!! This forum is so wonderful- no need to stress! You will get the answers to all of your questions + so many ideas! I'm getting married in Playa in July 2010 too-- SO excited!

OH--- I wanted to ask all of you. Since 80% of the guests need to stay there, did you tell any of them that? Like on your website or anything? Since we are inviting 60, I am a little worried. I would assume that they would all want to just stay at the same resort, but you never know...

My wedding isn't until next year, but I am in love with those Guess ones!! I'm getting on it asap
