HELP! If my wedding is at 5:30...what time should I schedule the hair/make up appt???

Hi! My wedding is may 13th!!! Agh! I have a million and one things left to do! Could you possibly email me your dj list? I am going to make some of my own...but in need of inspiration! If you can, my email is [email protected] Thank you!!! Winter!

Has anyone else read recent reviews on trip advisor/fbook? We live in 3 weeks for our may 10th wedding and this stomach virus going around at the resort is freaking me out! It's been going on for months. I could handle getting sick...but I'd feel horrible if my guests got sick!

Hey Lily, I just got an email back from Ana. I asked about the outside vendor fee for ew cancun & she said it's $55. I was going to bring them in to set up the lanterns. But then i asked if i brought lanterns would the resort set them up & she said yes. So I'm not bringing any outside vendors in.

Not sure about hair/makeup ... I'm using the resort for that. But we are flying in our Photographer. She's staying at the resort so they aren't making us pay for daypass.

TigerLily- I am def walking barefooted for the ceremony. I purchased flip flops bc I knew I wanted a laid back wedding & thought I'd just wear those for the reception. But then I decided I wanted heels....so I'll prob just keep the flip flops for something else...or backup if i fall on a wooden plank! haha! My name is Winter... so you dont have to refer to me ask west bacani! lol

I was wondering the SAME thing! And my guests have been asking! I already have a pair of flip flops from jcrew, but I want a pair of heels for the reception.

This promo was going on last year when we started bookings & they continued it for 2011. From what my TA has said...we can either get a refund check for the amount of the free rooms....or they can deduct it from the cost of our honeymoon suite. I asked advice for a good TA from Tammy & she referred me to Teresa Stauring @ Vacations For Less. She has been really helpful with bookings so far. From what she's said, the only rooms that would count towards the promo were the rooms booked through her under our group agreement. If my guests booked somewhere else on their own, those wouldnt apply as part of the group. Hope this helps!

Will your travel agent make adjustments if prices drop. I've heard that they most will reimburse the difference if prices changes. I do agree about the "group rate." It's not really a discount at all. I found our exact quote "group rate" prices on bookit.com! I think the only benefit to groups is the whole "6th room booked free night" promo.

Congratulations Ashley! What a beautiful bride and a beautiful wedding!!! I've just emailed you some questions! Looking forward to your review & thank you for sharing!

Ultimate Package, Videographer.....do they record the ceremony & reception? Or just the ceremony? Past brides....how is the quality? Is it worth it? I'm trying to decide between the love & the ultimate package. I originally got the ultimate package, but now our guest count has dropped from what we assumed (40ish) to reality (20)! So I'm taking this opportunity to save money! Thanks ladies!

Thank You! I made them! Got the paper at michaels & hobby lobby! Ordered the boxes online.

My photographer took this photograph of the invite we sent her, so I thought I'd share! Thank all you ladies for sharing your creative ideas! I would have never been able to do this without the inspiration from your crafty minds!!!

Oh Yeah...If you decide to order from Mishka...make sure you contact her early....she has so many requests that she has to have "cut off dates."

I am also using Mishka's Maracas. I actually ordered maracas from Amols & they were lovely. The people were great to work with. Unfortunately, they sent me the wrong color. (They paid for the pick up & offered to ship the correct color. But I opted for a refund.) I decided I didn't want to deal with the cost to ship the maracas to Mexico & chance them getting caught up in customs. Packing them in a suitcase would not be good (I ordered 50) because they were quite heavy & I need the suitcase room for OOT bags! Soooo...Mishka is the one. She's wonderful to work with & I think her pricing is good considering they are customized! She ships them straight to the resort for you. I cannot wait to see MINE Hope this helps!

Are your chair sashes "pool blue"?

Your photos are amazing! I have the exact same colors and totally want the same setup! (sashes to the side, white table linen) I'm glad I got to see what it will look like! Thank You! You are a beautiful bride! Question: Where did you order your sashes & what color did they call them? I would offer to buy yours...but I will only need around 30-40. And how did you get DJ Doremixx? I thought he was no longer available? Thank YOU!

PAST BRIDES....my colors are turquoise and orange. I am torn about chair sashes! I kind of want turquoise ones...are the chairs too plain with just the white covers? And..does anyone how much the resort charges for the chair sashes? I realize we can get them cheap online, but I am trying to minimize suitcases. With all the OOT bags and such....I feel like I have everything except the kitchen sink!

 Hi! My wedding is may 10, 2011! The humidity starts to pick up in may and the weather is hot and sticky. I do love the pashmina idea but unfortunately for us may brides its a bit to warm...even at night I got beach towels for my guests to put in their OOT bag. I know the hotel provides them..but I thought it'll be something they will use years after their trip that will remind them of Mexico!
