I have requested this but have not seen any. We want to do the cake cutting and all that but I am not sure I need a 3 tiered cake since our menu offers dessert. Please send me pics if you have gotten [email protected] thanks

I had not heard of this deal. Are you sure it's 35 rooms or is it 35 people? I would love for you to verify this for me. I'll send an email to my WC too but you will likely respond faster We decided on the surf n turf. My fiancee is allergic to fish (not shellfish, just fish..... weird, I know) so he wanted surf n turf which is fine with me! I found something out today from my WC. My package comes with hair and makeup for the wedding, but I am a hairdresser and my BM is a MAC makeup artist so I'll be doing my own hair and she is doing my makeup. I asked the WC if I could use my hair and makeup credit toward something else and she told me no! She told me I would have to give it away to someone else! WTF! I'm so irritated! Do you think that's fair? diamondpooch: I was told the samething about hair and make-up which I am TOTALLY not happy about. I have 6 BM who am I suppose to give it too...and both moms have short hair! Even if I could apply it flowers would be so great. As far as the 35 rooms or people I would like to know that information. I know we have that and we have not been offered anything for free from our WC. If anything we have been told we are too big and that is why they can't offer us a welcome cocktail with bartender for free. Please keep us updated on this. I can say that through Apple Vacations we got 1 person free for every 25 booked with them. But that was through Apple not Barcelo. All you ladies are so awesome!! I agree having answers quickly from you all is AMAZING! Thanks!

Would you be willing to share I am running low on time, party is 21st. I do like that Bride Security. What did you use for your team name?? Did you iron on the decals yourself?

I am sure if he is the only one they will just give him the beef portion. I on the other hand do not eat ANY meat, but do eat fish, crab,lobster. So I don't really need the veggie menu but I don't want meat on my plate. Since I am the bride I sure they can arrange that:) And sure they can arrange that for your FI.

Anything else could really be their choice. Not sure what would sound best with that song...I love sax, but then it may be to jazzing and not enough tropically, lol. This is tough! What is everyone else thinking!? Totally tough for me too! I replied to the WC email and asked if it was generic music or if we have a selection. Let you know what I hear.

We have to make our selection on ceremony music...does anyone have a suggestion?? The choices with the Strawberry package are: violin flute saxophone musicians(keyboard & bass)

Thanks a bunch!

Great Thanks!

I do like Bride's Entourage too. Just was looking for something creative. Thanks for both of your great ideas. I was actually thinking of making stickers myself for the girls just so they don't all have to buy shirts.

Ok ladies...I feel like I have seen something on here but when I did a search I was not able to recover the info I wanted. My BM's are having my Bachelorette Party in 3 weeks, so we have to get a move on. Does anyone have any cool images or suggestions of a saying for our t-shirts. HELP!

Thanks Sandra...I know it is difficult for me to have patiences...lol. I am going to just pray I here something this week

Go for it. But I agree it needs just a few alterations.

diamondpooch: I see you have 45 booked. Do you have plans for a welcome party? Our group is bigger like yours and I was just curious what someone else plans to do??

Just got back from lunch complaining the entire way to my co-worker about this! and the other things like NOT RESPONDING to any other emails regarding centerpieces, rose bouqets, and info for the programs. I truly realize they are really busy but with the holidays around the corner it is going to be really difficult to make things happen last minute here in the state when it come to getting menu cards and programs printed. I just really can't explain how frustrated I am right now. I really pray it gets better.

I like 3 best for your dress!! However, anything like #4 that has a flatform bottom is always more comfortable to me. I do like #2 also and Paris Hilton's are not to bad in the comfort dept. PLEASE SHARE THESE GREAT SHOE SITES!

I only went to the driving range, but the Golf- Pro on-site let us take the cart and go through the course. I highly recommend this one. Good luck! We are staying at Barcelo. Can our guest still pay to play at Iberostar?
