Good morning ladies! I have found luggage tags that I am interested in purchasing, but there is a 48 order minimum, and I only need around 30. I was wondering if anyone wanted to go in on an order with me! The more I order, the less expensive each one is. I was planning on putting "Mexico May 2010" on them, or we could even do just "Mexico 2010" if that works better for others.

Congrats Lindz on your promotion; that's awesome! AmyB, those shoes are awesome!! If I wasn't just 2 inches shorter than my fiance, I might consider heels, but I really don't want to tower over him on our wedding day

Quote: My TA told my bestest oldest friend that she did not want to work with her and would not complete her reservation! OMG I am not kidding. My friend may have been a little rude, but the TA is so inept and stupid at her job. How the heck can a TA refuse to work with someone?! That is complete BS. Some TAs seem to be on a completely different planet than us....I'm trying to imagine the look on my boss's face if i told him I didn't want to work with one of my students, lol.

Quote: I still have a lot left to do, it's daunting, I feel behind! How is everyone else doing? I am feeling overwhelmed at this point! It's just all these little things that just keep adding up, and in between work and school, I have not had the time to devote to taking care of the details. I have tried to delegate to my FI, but I have learned it is easier to just do it myself, lol. Saves me a headache in the end!

Yay, Tiffany just got back to me and confirmed that my Set Menu is still the same! AmyKH, we are doing the same menu--yummy!! I'm getting SOOO excited! It's been cold and rainy down here, and I am counting down the days until I am laying out on the beach with cool drink in my hand, and my husband (it's going to be weird to say husband!) beside me!

happy wedding day!!

Yay Taylor! I am so glad to hear it worked out! You're right AmyKH, I just need to take a deep breath and relax

Okay, after hearing Taylor's story, I'm a little bit worried. If you go to the Karisma hotels website, and click on the weddings, then the private event banquet package, they have completely changed all of the menus, and they are over double/triple what I had been planning on paying (I was using one of the set menus). The reason I was concerned was because I sent in my details sheet last week with the menu on it, and when Tiffany sent it back, she had taken it off. So I resent it to her again, and now I'm just waiting to hear from her. I haven't paid off my balance, so I hope she doesn't tell me that the menus have changed--I really don't think I could afford to have a private reception with the new prices posted....

Quote: And the official answer is...... Wait, are you ready for it? No way no how are we getting the Blue Terrace! Because we haven't paid our balance yet (due Monday), nothing is considered "official." They consider us to have been in "negotiations" up until now and therefore feel they have the right to change or renege on promises made. We added it up and in total our party is paying over $24,000 just for the rooms. We will have almost 15% of the rooms at the resort while we're there. We helped get them to capacity, and now that they're operating at full capacity, we get screwed. There are not enough censors for what I'm feeling toward them!! Taylor, that is terrible. I am SOOO sorry they are being so difficult to work with. I agree with you; you should see if you can find a restaurant in the area or another place where you can have your reception. Maybe once Karisma realizes that are losing out on however much you would have spent on the reception, they might be willing to try and re-negotiate. Especially if any other brides are like you, and if Karisma is suddenly about to be out some serious cash, they might be willing to work with y'all! On a side note, I was one day away from signing my contract with Occidental Grand Xcaret when my TA called me about AS and how they would price match for me. woohoo for good deals!!
