Thanks for the review! Can't wait to see the pictures! Did you feel like you got better service from Cecilia by giving her extra gifts? For instance, was she more willing to do trades? We were planning on tipping her up front, but it sounds like you went above and beyond!
You mentioned getting pedicures at the spa, did they do a pretty good job?
One last question, I think I saw it mentioned somewhere that the Club Terrace is under construction right now until the end of June. Did you happen to get any more info on this? Are they just updating it or doing major renovations? I'm getting married July 2nd and had planned on having the ceremony there so I'm a little anxious about it getting done!

I like that the boarding pass pocket is lined in your accent color. Very clever!
-
Love the colors (the same as mine)! These look like they were professionally done, awesome job!
-
The pictures look amazing! I love the flower in your hair. I noticed that you had menus at the reception, did you print those before leaving for Mexico? Were there any changes with the food once you got to the resort or did you just pick everything off the silver and gold menus?
Thanks for sharing!

I've been thinking about printing off some menus before heading down to Dreams, too. Did you pick everything before you got there? Did the WC change anything on you? My fiance is adamant that we'll pick everything out and be told once we get there that the restaurants are out of something or another so we'll have to pick something else.

I have some more questions! I want to print off a menu before heading down to Cancun, but FI insists that we'll get down there and the resort will tell us to pick something different. Did any of you past brides experience this?

Very cute. I recently discovered raffia and love using it now!

I also love the ring pops with the 'bling' sign. That's awesome!

1 month until my wedding! I feel like I have most of the big stuff squared away, but apparently my subconcious mind doesn't agree. I keep having anxiety dreams. In one I was starting to pack everything, but I couldn't find my wedding dress!
One thing that I've been discussing with Cecilia is having a rehearsal. How long did it take for any of you past brides? I'm hoping not much more than half an hour. Also, did you actually play your music to practice the timing? It seems like we wouldn't be able to hear it very well with our tiny speakers and the wind (we're renting the sound system for the day of), so I'm pretty worried about how it'll all work out.

One idea is something to throw around. We were in Cancun a few years ago with a group of friends and the guys mentioned a few times that they wished they had brought a football or something. I think I saw some of those foam ones at Dollar Tree!

Thank you! Sorry, as I mentioned in an earlier post, the file is too large to attach and is probably confusing for anyone but me! I think that Microsoft Word or Publisher has a booklet setting, I just didn't have the patience to figure it out myself.

They look great! I'm already running out of luggage room from OOT stuff but I love the sunglasses idea!

Maybe some of you knew this, but I just found out that they closed down Azucar Bar and turned it into Desires Bar, which is apparently a sports and music lounge. I emailed the concierge to ask about the new place. With Azucar, guests of Dreams were allowed free entry and two complimentary drinks. It had a live salsa band all night long until 7 am. Desires Bar is no longer open to the public, it's part of the all-inclusive package for Dreams. They have different kinds of music each night, but no live salsa band and they are only open 5 pm - 1 am. I'm kind of bummed, I was excited that our guests could go see some real Mexican music after the wedding and dance the night away, but that's not the case anymore. Just another random 'surprise' from Dreams again!

Here are some templates!
The program fan template has two outlines, one for the white section with all of the print, and the outer one is the outline for the blue background.
The keycard inserts are extra long so that you can fold them in half. I used the saying that was found on this site, thanks to the bride who originally posted this!
The place cards and table numbers were put on one page since my file was too big with all of our guests!
Enjoy!

I've finally found some time to complete more projects, or at least print off some prototypes!
The first project is my place cards and table numbers. I bought the starfish on ebay and used raffia ribbon to tie them on to the place cards. The table number holders were brought from placecard holders - SEASHELL PLACE CARD HOLDERS - Wedding Things. I love them! We only are having 4 tables and a sweetheart table, but you have to buy the holders 6 at a time, so I made a sign for the guest book as well.
The next project was my program fan. This was just a rough copy, I've since found the Officiant's name and added a reading to the ceremony! I used a paper cutter for the straight sides, but I'll have to cut the curves by hand. Luckily we only have 35 guests, so it won't be too many.
Last, I finished my key/tip card holders. Each label is twice as long as it looks, since I folded it in half at the bottom. That way people can sandwich their money inside and others won't be able to see what's inside. I also glued the top of each side to the plastic so that when you squeeze them open, the cardstock opens, too.
I bought the lanyards and ID holders as a package deal, 35 of each for $24 from Cell Phone Straps items - Get great deals on LANYARDS CLIPS KEY CHAINS, Ear Threads items on eBay Stores!. The seller was great to work with since she gives you a variety of options and you can pick whatever colors you want. I picked blue and teal. She even sent me an extra set!
That's it for now. Let me know what you think! Next up I'll have menus and personalized matchbooks!

That's awesome! The whole reason I didn't go with those types of maracas is because I wanted something in my colors! I ended up with something else for a little bit more money per pair, so it'll work out in the end. Thanks for sharing, that's such a great find and I'm sure a lot of brides will be excited!

I'm not positive, but I think if the photographer is also a guest at the hotel, they can't stop them from taking pictures. I believe StarfishBride2010 said she flew in a photographer for 4 days and used her instead of Juan.
