Hi, Palace Resorts have their prices out. I think my guests are paying $380 per night for a standard room and $480 for the more expensive room. These prices include all inclusive stuff. and are for two people....not per person. So people should / need to book as couples. Palace Resorts set up a link that our guests can book with. You can view it at Wedding Website - Daniel Drew & Sara Kadow - Welcome on the "book it" section. If you want to get a feel for how it can be done with the hotels. Some off our guests have booked airlines already. For a round trip To Cancuun, From Wisconsin, its 360 with tax. Awsome Price! Book early ladies!

I am in the same boat...luckly my guy doesnt mind using some of my cousins to stand up on his side.

I am more scared about it falling into the Ocean while snorkling then it getting taken. I have gotten my ring sized 3 times and it is still loose. I am going to get in sized for a fourth time soon. It seems to be making my ring finger skinner around the ring part....boogled...Has this happened to anyone else? Anyways....I am really heisitent about swimming with it. I cant even wear it in the shower =(

Im so sorry to hear that. It had to be very disappointing...Can you post a picture of your dress at least? I'd love to see what you are waiting on.

Looks great on you I love it...very good choice

This is an awsome thread! Please keep up the posting... I am getting so many great ideas. Thanks so much ladies!

I asked my fiance ... He said he rather I asked / told him I was unhappy about it. Given he said that while moaning crankly because he secretly thought i was hinting about my ring....which I wasnt! ...men An upgrade also makes for a great 1 - 5 year wedding aniversy gift! and he might have more time to save money then.

PM'd you =)

All Done. With detail answers! my future hubby is traveling this week and I have a lot of free time =)

I will probably spend most of the day in the SPA at our hotel, getting a massage, doing hair / makeup ect. am very confident that I will not run into him their =)

I will probably spend the night with out him just because the hotel offers a room for him, and it might be more exciting the day of the wedding. however I really don't care either way. I certainly am not doing it out of tradition. By the time we get married we will have owned our house for a year already and spent every night together anyways. Anyone who knows us and thinks we havn't had "us" time before the wedding is loopy!

Go to the spa! Maybe get your nails or hair done, a facial always makes me feel great and fresh! oh and wear some "come F'me pumps" Those never fail to make me feel hot and shoes are a girls best friends....or is that diamonds? I think its both.

Do you have any pictures of them on a chair / table or even a link to the manufactor? I havnt seen black done before. I was hoping to go with purple for the chairs (accent color) but for that price. Black could work too. Its my bridemaids color.

Do you have a picture of it in your hair? I love it. Just wondering about size and how it looks in.

The stuff you made looks really nice. The special envolopes...are they really think or do they feel like normal paper? Can you use everyday construction paper if you arnt trying to make envolopes? Maybe something like the invite cover you made.

I'm so sorry about getting sick, however your fans look so beautiful.

If you have finalized everything you should post a summery for us! I am soo sooo soo excited, I still have ten months, so i'll live vicarously threw your wedding lol. I will probably provide them with a detail list down to the T, but then again I love planning stuff.

What rooms are you ladies booking? I think most of our guests are going with Standard on the Spa side. I think me and man might do the conciege level just because its our wedding / hunnymoon. I also think that we might do a week at the spa and a week on the cove side so I can visit with my niece as well as the adults.

There are serveral I like as well. The French one looks good, so does the BBQ one.

Love love love them

I am not doing a TTD. I love my wedding photographer. I am going with Del SoL. I think i will have enough photos that I want to frame from the wedding day, that I really wont know what to do with the TTD pictures. I intend to print out a few favs, blow them up and put them around the house, but I am not going to go wedding crazy. If Del Sol Wanted to do a free TTD...would I love it? Yes ,but I can't really justify paying an addition 1,500 for photos at this moment. We just bought a house and with the wedding their are other things we could use it on. I do intend on doing BD ,but thats more for me then him. I would say its a "us" thing. Something I want to have for when I am married and a mommy.

What extras did you guys get? How did prices look when you built your own package vs. a predesigned one? Do either or you have a spread sheet of addons and prices you selected?

Thank you so much for the review! Putting prices really is helping me ball park a few things. I am getting married at a different palace resort
