TLGnhci,

What etsy seller did you get your jewelry from?  I love it.

Congrats!

Thanks!

I also decided to go with a DJ and booked Ivan through the resort.  I also confirmed my flowers with Marvin, I'm so excited!

Randi, did you have to arrange that time with Ivan before you left?  I have not talked with him directly...did he contact you beforehand or did you contact him?  Do you or anyone else have his contact info?

Thanks!  Gorgeous pics ladies!!

Lisa, you look like you had a great time!  I totally agree with your husband about the first dance too.

For those who have been to the Royal, what is the best place to have people gather the night before the wedding for drinks (on the resort)?  We aren't going to do a formal welcome dinner, but we want to offer a get together for people if they want.  What are you thoughts?

I have mailed out my invitations, and Saturday I have my first appointment for dress alterations!  I have been engaged for over a year now, so it is finally starting to come together and it's so exciting!

I love your jewelry!  Just to start of course, you looked stunning, as did your wedding.  Congrats!

Stunning photos!

I love this necklace!

I purchased this groupon from another BDW bride and I cannot use it.  Here is the site for the photographer, she is great!

You can use this for boudoir pics or engagement pics.  She will travel up to one hour away.

I am selling it for $60.  She is aware of this and it will be no problem to use.  The expiration date is April 11th.  Here is the original groupon listing:

PM me if interested or have any questions!

Everything looks amazing!

Thank you ladies for the make-up advice!!  Now I have to decide what to do...

Everything looks great, love the candy bar!

Beautiful, great job!

I originally wasn't going to pay to get my make-up done, but I am beginning to change my mind.  I am thinking about the MAC counter idea.  If I go here (the US) first to get an idea of the right products, and then go down there...how much would that cost?  How much is Norma from Cancun, or Fernando?  We decided to go for the DJ so I need to budget in other areas now!

Thanks Ladies!!

Raveyn, you look amazing and so happy

Kelly - I did not realize you could order bulk to sam's club!  I was thinking of doing my own bouquets etc.  Another Royal bride did this, smckinney22.  She talks about it in her review too.  She told me there were a few flower shops in PDC, so that was my plan.  Did you talk with Sam's club about ordering to Mexico like that?  I'd love any info you have!  I can send you the info on the other flower shops if you want, just PM me

Dianhr - We got my FI's suit at Macys actually!  It isn't linen, but it is cotton, lightweight.  I agree with your point about linen, and it gets wrinkled so easily and I didn't see any suits that I liked where the material looked good.  I just tried to stay away from any type of "wool blend" suit!

Thanks so much!!!

Great info, thanks!

I really want to do petals.  I have no idea how much I would need though.  Did you ladies do an aisle runner as well?

Beautiful!

This thread is great!  Somehow I still cannot decide what to include and what not to.  I want to be pratical but fun as well.  Some people are only coming for a few days.  I am going to do travel mugs and probably meds.  I would love to include beach towels but they are pricey!  Anyone get them for a good price somewhere?

This looks great!

I'll take the single orchids and the maracas!  I just PMed you.

Hey Ladies!

I am less than 5 months away now, and starting to panic a bit and everything I need to do.  I am debating on the OOT bags.  I really want to give the guests something, but I am not so sure how useful they would find it.  What do you all think?  For recent brides with OOT bags, did the guests like them?  Are you glad you spent that money?  Any suggestions outside of the normal stuff that they really enjoyed?  Some people are only coming for a 3 or 4 day weekend, so I feel like some of the stuff won't be useful to them.  Maybe it would be better to go with another type of gift...

Congrats!!!! 

Hi all! 

Congrats to all the new MRS!!

These food questions have me thinking...When do you give the counts for each entree?  I also have gluten free guests.  My mom has Celiac's so she really cannot have any wheat.  Did you inform them of those type of special orders at the 45 day checkpoint, or did you tell your WC when you got there? 

I am about to send my invitations out but this made me realize I need people to RSVP with food choices, and I haven't chosen the menu yet!
