Very sexy!! FI will love them!! Jodie.xx

Fantastic pics!! Jodie.xx

I've only looked into AI's too, and all I have found is wristbands/daypasses need to be purchased and thats anywhere from $50-$100? With Riu I have found this harder with the policy of having 80% of the guests staying there in order to have the wedding at all! This policy is driving me insane! Jodie.xx

Congrats and welcome!! Jodie.xx

Your pics look great! You look stunning!! Congrats!! Jodie.xx

Congrats & welcome! Happy planning Jodie.xx

Im a UK bride too!! We booked through Firstchoice, flying with thomsons since they are the same group now. TBH not had the best experience with them so far. But they were the only ones we could use because of the htel we wanted. Here's hoping all the problems have been ironed out as it all involved one incompetent sales advisor who promised the stars and delivered nothing but incomplete bookings and false promises? however management have taken over our large booking and we're finally making progress! yay! IMHO whoever you decide to book with, either deal directly with the manager or assistant manger, they will have way more experience and knowledge! Because you will want lots of questions answered, planing so far away can be very trying, and they can help more if they know more! Happy planning! Jodie.xx

Daily2011: I love your idea! Of extra event or gift for the guests! I really love the idea of doing OOT bags but I'm worried about taking all the extra luggage or giving them out too early before we leave? Since we have been to Cancun before and enjoy a few great days out and events maybe we could organize one wit all the guests to say thank you, but narrowing down just one that everyone will enjoy may be harder than i thought! LOL! So I'm still stressing over this! Anyone with other idea's for me here please jump in! Im definitely making welcome books though so compiling lots of various things that could go into that and getting fabulous idea's from the ladies on this forum! My main task the now is getting my head round everything I need to make DIY invitations! Really want them to have a wow factor but not to cost a fortune! We'll see!! If I can only stop changing my mind!! Lol! When are you all sending out your invites? Have/are you doing STD's? How are we all getting on? Jodie.xx

We're mostly all arriving together on the same flight! since we are travelling from the uk,it kinda makes it easier, we have a few guests coming fro the US and not sure yet when they will arrive, it'll be my parents, sister(BM) arriving a few days after us I think? If i had the choice though I would liked to have had a few day alone first I think? Jodie.xx

Aw lisa! I think it is all the stress of planning that brings them on!! I have had a fair few! various but mostly about being late! So late that everyone has left!! including FI!! Then there is the one where i have no maker up on and my hair is soaking wet! and the one where the skirt part of my dress goes missing!! FI finds these dreams hysterical!! Im slightly worried about them! haha!! I have a funny feeling this thread will come alive soon!! Jodie.xx
