Hi AchiCap0547, Love your pics, where did you have your reception at?

Omg, i am having that same issue, everyone is making me feel guilty about the wedding, and i've told me guest MANY times, please don't feel bad, if you can't afford it, then don't go, i really don't care who makes it just as long as i am there with my future husband...but yet they insist and then in turn are passive aggresive about the cost of everything... i just want to screm THEN DON'T GO!!!!! Geeeeez!!! i'm so glad i am not the only one... Â i'm so frustrated, and most of all i'm sick of people being rude about it when this is suppose to be a happy time in my life... Â ok had to get that off my chest!!! Â Â thanks!

Hi, Does anyone have an example of a program for the symbolic ceremony? Just a run down of what i should expect and can make my programs with? thanks!

thank you! let me know if you didn't get my email. i just sent it.

omg!! i've been on this site forever but i've never really posted until a few days ago... i didn't know their were other brides from houston, very cool! i wish i could have gone. i'm so sad!!! well no worries. your wedding is so soon, how exciting.

Great idea! thank you. i'm going to have my FI do that, he's super math savy. i'll just send it with all 2009 prices and see what she says. i don't have the 2009 guide just yet, but as i soon as i get it i'll be sure to shoot Aurora an email. i think i've emailed her four maybe five times since last August and every time i get a response within a day or two, and usually with an answer i like. thanks again!

Oh thanks Tara, i would appreciate that. so you think 30 is the max number of people they can do the long table for? i hope so! they look better and seem a bit easier to decorate. i saw your other response about the wedding guide prices, do you know if you have to go by the guide she sent with your confirmation (for me it was 2010) or the guide for which you put down your deposit (i put mine down in Aug. 2009) i did noticed after looking online and then booking and then getting the new guide that there was quite a few changes. i hope maybe i can print that 2009 guide out and bring it with me and see if i can work with that instead. can you pm me that guide if you have the 2009? thank you.

i have a question, that i haven't read in one of these 376 pages... do any of the past brides know if a party of 30 could use a long table for their reception? instead of three round ones... Thanks!

Thanks Amy, nice review, for some reason i couldn't see your pics, probably my work computer blocking them though, i've been printing pictures of everything i want all week just because of yours and Michelle's advice. Thanks again!

Wow that doesn't sound good AchiCap0547... i'm sorry! thats probably the second or third bad review i've heard since i've been reading this forum. the weather could change instantly, just try and stay positive and focus on why your there. thats still super unfortunate though.

I have never heard of anyone using extension chords for their paper laterns. most bride on here have used battery powered lights or made L.E.D. throwies... which i still haven't made for mine yet...seems a bit confusing... i'll let you know how they turn out. i know there is a thread on here somewhere that teaches you exactly how to do it. Thanks Michelle for that long and detailed review. i got a lot of good tips that i hadn't seen anywhere else on this thread yet. i'm in the process now of printing out all the pictures for my desired flowes and cake! Appreciate it!

just one question, where do you buy those LED throwies...??

i read all the pages of this thread!! took me a month, but i did it!!

Actually i just read that wrong, there is just a fee...

i just read on page 240 something about not being able to bring your own photographer as of 2010...this sounds bogus... please tell me i was reading this wrong!!! thanks.

Just wanted to put my info up, hadn't done it yet.

Hi, I'm an October bride too, were having our wedding at Dreams Tulum, there is a ton of information and pictures on the "New Dreams Tulum" thread, so i would definiltey look there if your having trouble deciding. Hope this helps. Angela

Does anyone know how many tables they have set up at the cocktail hour? just so i can start thinkig of decor items for those tables...

Thanks!! I loved your planning thread, you had so many unique ideas. did your paper laterns have any light in them? i was thinking of buying the same number of laterns that you had, but all the ladies were saying they had some light issues by the pool and paper laterns were a great way to help with that. Thanks, p.s. i loved that side braide in your hair!!!

Is anyone having trouble clicking and opening reviews and planning threads, every time i try is takes me back to the home page and when i copy and paste is still takes me back to the home page... very confusing, and i would love to see some planning threads... thanks

Does anyone know if there is room to dance if your having your reception at the dolphin pool terrace, and if so should i rent a dance floor or is that pointless because there's already a hard surface to dance on? Also does ayone know if you should keep all reciepts for goods that you bring down in your suitcase? Is there a max of $200? Thanks!

hey guys, just wanted to know from those of you ladies who used dj mannie, if you've wired the money to his provided bank and how did that go?

Thanks Ladies, this forum has been very helpful, i didn't realize how much i would have to plan, i thought maybe i could just show up, lol...guess not! I've got nine months and counting to get my stuff together...should be loads of fun~!

Dreams Tulum has one, its small and can only hold 40 people max, but its beautiful.

Does anyone know if this DJ is any good, and what kind of music he plays? How would i go about booking him?
