Might have gone into your spam, I’m going to PM you with it now! I didn’t do favors persay, from what I kept reading people don’t care about favors really, like trinket like stuff. I did OOT bags and on every place setting in my little birds nest were the 5 light green speckled mint chocolate Jordan almonds in a little organza pouch which is the Italian tradition. So it was something little but not really a favor. The cigars went over bigger than anything so I kinda consider that a favor as well, LOL  Man, I would have LOVE to be a guest at your wedding Amy!!! Im pretty sure you thought of EVERYTHING

Lindz, I went to hobby lobby and bought clear containers with Lids and hot glued a hot pink bow(my colors) on it. The container was for each guest to take home sand in. I love going to my friends house and seeing their little sand jar, soo cute

BM had both rings, MOH was freaking out because she didn't have ring so when I turned to hand over my flowers, she is laughing and red and pulls off her engagement/wedding band and hands it to me and I'm like what are you doing? She goes "I don't have his ring!!!" Good times LOL, thats awesome Amy I wanna see that!!!!
  7. Hey Ladies< i wanted to check and show my excitment for all the upcoming brides, Its so cool to see so many brides going to Azul Sensatori. We should be getting some sort of offsite wedding coordinator fee, we do a fantastic job of planning and support hehe After reading a few pages, I see a few things have changed. Chong, Im so glad I told you about this blog and that you found your way around on here- isn't it amazing!!! Looks like the gazebo fabric price went up on you, booo!! That totally sux. Sometimes if you write a email asking for them to honor the price you heard it was before their may be somthing they can work out for you. OR maybe even inquire about it with the onsite? Maybe they will atleast give you a resort credit and you can use they credit for a massage or twards wedding day hair style or somthing ;0 Also, I remember trying to order drinks to room service and them saying no only beer, but we found an employee that was super nice and we talked to him about it and he said he would bring up drinks lol we threw $20 to bring 10 margaritas and 10 shots up and he did it :0, again TIPS GO ALOOOOOONG way. Believe me, he came back up a few times for orders lol. Anyways, Im enjoying all your pics and so excited for upcoming brides. Who's next Megan??

I was there for 12 whole days and not ONE drop of rain, not one cloudy day, it was just gorgeous beautiful skies. It was actually more like hot. High 80's for sure. The evenings only cooled down to 70's and were never COLD. I never needed a light cardigan or even a pashmina, I couldn't believe it. The weather right now is to die for, seriously you'll be so pleased! We had our reception at Zocalo al Fresco the covered open air restaurant patio and we were all sweating and hot all night because we were dancing. The whole wedding party even arranged with my photographers to do a group shot of them jumping in the pool afterwards which was hilarious. We even crashed the adult swim up bar for the after party to my wedding... since it was closed we all raided our fridges for the Tecate light they stock it with and hung out there for awhile to cool off, then partied up at the Mojito lounge until 4am. The cigar roller was great. It wasn't a surprise, FI actually insisted we get one I wish it would have been announced or something because he was so quiet and there rolling away and I didn't even know. I actually had to start dragging people over because they didn't notice he was there and people were asking me after he had already left where I got my cigar that I was smoking... the whole thing. They gave me boxes after he left so I just put them on my table and had them go grab whatever they wanted. My bridesmaid Shawna took that and 200 of the pictures that are up on my FB, she's a talented girl who uses a run of the mill camera if you can believe it. I was chatting with Katie on Saturday and she was still in Mexico supposed to leave Sunday. She thought she may have a couple day delay due to London airports being closed but didn't know. She should be back any day now. She told me she had a wonderful wedding as well and I saw a sneak of some of her photos, she looked gorgeous and is completely blissfully a Mrs. Amy, How amazing! Im so happy for you!!! Who was your onsite coordinators? Was the pool warm/cold? (it was freezing when we were there) Was Mojoito bar the only bar/nightlife open while we were there... Thats all that was available while we were there and could never get a strait answer on the other bar being open(the teens club that sopposed to turn into a night club after 10pm, which never did ) wish they could improve on that aspect... I LOVE your pics and esp le blanc-----> how was that resort?
  9. Welcome back Amy!!!!!! Can't wait to hear all about your beautiful wedding!!!

Did you have to deal with that or did they just charge you $60 flat? Well, actually we had to send some of the guys tuxs back with guest that didn't stay more than 4days. And then they actually fd up the grooms package so we didn't even bother to care when we returned his tux because it was that or them refunding a sh*t load of money for our group. Long story short we got to mexico and it wasn't until a few days after when one of our groomsmen showed up with the grooms pants, WE DIDNT EVEN REALIZE HIS PANTS WEREN"T IN OUR PACKAGE. Thank god they contacted a person in our group that had not yet left for mexico to come pick up the grooms pants and bring them to us

Sometimes I wonder how much Tiffany and the other much hate this forum. I find out such useful information on it and armed with that info I often go back to her and push the issue. She's got to know I am referring to the girls on this forum when I say I "talked" to other brides and they were approved for XY and Z. Ha. Sometimes I wonder if they come on here and see what we are posting. Ha. I doubt it...too busy with all the weddings I suppose but funny to think about.Oh well. LOL amanda, Tiffany knows all about this forum and comes on it. She's told me personally hahaha.. Iv'e already got married and had her as my wc so I don't care what "i" say, some girls are just more comfortable sending private messages so there's less drama lol...

I honestly do not understand their reasoning behind this...it's not in our budget to fly someone out there and pay for their stay PLUS the photography package, and I am really not a fan of the two photographers they use. Ugh! Karisma is kind of on my shi* list right now. UGH, I know excatly what your feeling.., this was totally furstrating for me. I ended up using Caribe photography. They ended up doing a great job, so I do recommend them. however< i will say this, its nothing like claudia and some others that I have seen in comparison. Is there anyone getting married same weekend as you that maybe you can work out a deal with for a good photographer?
  14.

We still don't know if we can have the same location for our ceremony and reception...when I talked to my TA yesterday her response was...."we are working on it and will let you know monday". Now I'm having to deal with many of my guests calling and asking what is going on and complaining about all of this. People are telling me to demand a full refund and cancel the whole thing! They don't understand that we have planned this wedding for 2 years and we will be out money if we cancel and book somewhere else...some people are even saying to cancel and do a wedding in toronto!! I really don't want to listen to other people's complaints about this right now. I think I'm gonna have Matt call our TA today and tell them that they need to give us some more info and they need to start contacting our guests to let them know what's going on. Meghan, I cant believe how thoughtless some people are. I swear weddings bring out the crazies in people lol. I wish I could help you somehow, what a mess!! People have no idea what it takes planning a dw and how your blood sweat and tears goes into this. So any negitive comments aren't needed or wanted. I would have your bridesmaid(or mom, someone close to you) help with calling your guest and ironing things out to eliminate hearing complaints. On the other end of it, I can see how some guest might be weary about it after all this, but maybe just send out a very positive email to everyone giving them a quick apology for the confusion and changes but be firm in saying, Our dream wedding in Mexico is still on and so is the party lol, and that we will contact you asap to fill you in on all the new details.. I hope things get easier for you sister, hang in there- pretty soon your gonna be sip'n some cocktails in the sand in mexicoooo and gonna be a MRS

I will look for that email. Thanks for the info. I have Gayle Hirsch as my WC. She was also WC for Amy. I am in Oil & Gas business... I have been traveling a lot to NO since my project is in NO. So I am guessing you already found your dress? I have my dress and bridesmaid dress all figured out. Started to look for my future hubby's clothes - all white. This is going to be challenging. Let me know if you know a place. Chong, I called you back yesterday GImme a call again when you get a chance

Also, this way when we are dancing they can take off their jackets and but not just be in shirts. Chong, we went this weekend and MW is running out of that style. I guess with summer weddings coming up. Also, they probably won't have in the fall so smart to do now. We are going to another MW this weekend. Hopefully it works out. Also, MW is running a sale right now. Buy 1 suite get 1 for $100. We are ordering them all together and letting the guys split the difference. That's assuming the groomsmen get me their measurements this week We actually rented Gray suits from MW! They were calvin Klien It was a great deal, White shirt, vest, bowtie/tie , pants, socks and shoes and suspenders for $60. They looked great on the guys and went very well with our colors~
  17. I just saw a few of Katies Pics on facebook that she was tagged in, she looked amazing!!!!!!!!!! and so Happy, thats so awesome
  18. Quote: Originally Posted by meghan Lindsay, I am so happy to hear you had an awesome bd shoot and can't wait to see pictures if you share them!! ...you were so cute asking if you could call anyone! ...I don't think you can but thanks for the offer The owner of our travel agency called and apologized for the way this situation was presented and she is being very cooperative in helping us get this sorted out. It will not work for us to leave on the day we had planned, so we have to change our wedding date. Due to the hassle of changing the flight, they are reimbursing our guests $150 and upgrading our room. However, because we have to change our wedding date, we have to get our engravings on our rings changed, and our photographer is no longer available. The TA said they will pay for our deposit if we lose it, but I'm going to expect more than that because I still can't have Claudia who I wanted. A lot of things are still up in the air, but the TA is working on it....I'm not even sure if I can still have our reception at the venue we want with the date changed. i will keep you updated. thanks for listening and your support! OMG Meghan, what a nightmare... Im so sorry girl? I hope things get sorted out and Fast....
  19. Quote: Originally Posted by meghan OMG!!, I am having a huge melt down right now!....my TA just emailed me our flight reservations and they have been changed!!

We were supposed to have the whole next day and night after our wedding and a honeymoon breakfast! We don't even get a honeymoon night now cuz we have to be up so early! Who is going to want to be packing all drunk and hungover and exhausted, and how am I supposed to get ready for a wedding as well as make sure i'm ready to go home in 12 hours!!OMG!! Meghan, they did this to us as well. So we called the airlines directly and told them ABSOLUTELY NOT GONNA HAPPEN and that we could no how no way make that flight and they must give us a much later time than our ORIGINAL flight to accomadate you, explain to them you have legal matters scheduled and cannot be switched. So they did for FREE, do not allow them to charge you because THEY changed your itenarary. But... that does mean you may have to work something out with resort to stay another night...? (* thats what we did) Goodluck girl.
  20. Happy Weddings Amy & Katie!!!Sending positive thoughts your way!!! Wishing your the best wedding days ever!(* and strong drinks and great weather - )
  21. I don't want to scare anyone b/c the weather changes on a dime and who knows what it will be in two weeks? But you should also be prepared to discuss a backup plan with your onsite teams. Every day we were there, even on the sunny days, clouds and high winds rolled in around 4pm, sometimes with rain and sometimes not. We had to reschedule our romantic candlelit beach dinner twice b/c of it. It wasn't cold, just extremely windy. The skies usually cleared by 8pm to reveal starry nights. I agree. It was VERY windy. And for us it was Very cold at night. BUT that was early February... so may be warmer now and in the next few weeks... I was very happy with my pashminas on the chairs that I provided .Everyone used them since it got cold. And the funny thing was that I thought the whole time that it was the worst purchase I made because "after" I figured everyone would be HOT and noone would need a pashmina. Turns out we actually "needed" them. I good place for a cocktail party at as would be where I had my reception, at the gazebo, the buildings block the wind. BUT actually now that I think about it, there is super cool furniture, beds etc right outside the mojoito bar its super cool out there, they usually use it for entertainment and told us we couldn't have a reception/party there BUT there was a bride that got her way while we were there and it was moved because of rain. The location was VERY cool i think..
  22. Hey Ladies, I keep reading about the donkey cocktail party again, is it available again? Last I heard it was no longer available?
