Jen - Love, love your photos. Looks like so much fun. Ladies the FI and I spent Christmas at the EPM. We met Yamina and like Jen said, she is amazing. She is so experienced with weddings, but also very busy. However, she'll take care of you once it's your time - so to speak. We are so excited about getting married there. We were going to get married at the La Amada, but are now switching to the EPM and besides we have a pretty large guest list. We fell in love with the place. Now on to the rest of the planning.

Ladies - The FI and I went invitation shopping and plan to order about 150 invitations. We are having a pretty sizable destination wedding and these are for people that are coming or highly likely to come. We bought some in-the-box invites from office depot for those we know are not coming. However, since we got an estimate the FI doesn't think we should send them because a. very few people have sent their mailing address to us after our request. b. he doesn't believe people care about paper invitates anymore. We sent out an e-STD and a really detailed newsletter with a message from us, TA info, hotel info, location info. He thinks we should just continue with that and doesn't see the point and isn't so concerned with other people's perceptions about not sending paper invites.
My question is: Has anyone else totally scrapped the paper invites?

Congrats Jen! Do post some pics soon. We're heading to the EPM for a short Xmas break, to view the properties and meet Yamina. Can't wait! Will let you ladies know hot things go.

Thank goodness it's not just me. I think I'll be a waterfall at my wedding. I get teary at the music I want to walk down the aisle to. I get teary each time I watch "Say yes to the dress" or "Who's wedding is it any way". I really need to get a grip! LOL! Water proof mascara is an absolute must.

Wow! I was really loving this idea until I heard about the smell. Looking forward to hearing your solutions to this before I take the plunge.

Ladies for all the great ideas. I just ordered some cards of Etsy in our wedding color. Can't wait to get them.

Thanks ladies. These are all great ideas. I just ordered some "Will you be my bridesmaid" cards. Trying to find something cute to go with them.

Hi ladies,
How did you ask your bridesmaids if they would be in your bridal party? Email, phone, cards? Any other creative ideas? And besides that what is the proper etiquette? I have my best friend, 2 neices and sister. I was just MOH for my sister in August.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Wow! VDayBride I love that dress on you. The design is so intricate. I love Pronovias dresses. Congrats on getting over one big hurdle and getting your rings too! You made a lot of progress today. I'd say go eat a honey bun, but no lets keep away from those.

I really love the bags. Well done!

Wow! What an amazing dress. I hope you find it.

Are you ladies going the real touch route? I so love the samples on Sharon's website. I'm going to email her. If they look as real in person as they do in the photos I might be sold.

Ladies these are all great ideas. How are you planning to transport all this stuff to your destination? I'm still trying to figure out what we need to bring along vs what the resort will provide.

Scrap invitations?! e-Invites only?!

Thanks for your input ladies. We had printed some cheaper (box set) invites from Office Depot for people who we know for sure aren't coming but would appreciate an invite and for his parents and older folks. Others on our list are all in our age range and are mostly on email and everyone is scattered around the globe, so email has worked so far. We are pretty sizable wedding but some guests have already started booking. I could do something creative/cheap but will have to think about it.
