    I was just thinking the same thing about whether I should mix the tables or keep them arranged by people who knew eachother... Still haven't decided.

    Thanks for your comment! I helped myself to a big bowl of pasta and some reality TV. It really does make me wish I had eloped, which is really what I wanted to do. However, I did not want to have my FI miss out on a wedding since he really wanted one. Man o man... wedding drama!

    I think it would be best to have the best man on one side and the MOH on the other side seated next to you. I also think that you should put spouses/significant others next to each other. I have never been to a wedding where they are separated. So, for example, you could do on one side: best man, date, groomsmen with their dates, groom's family, then groom's friends (or maybe switch family and friends). Thoughts?

    Ladies! I just have to vent! Our save the dates went out in spring 2012. Our website was out at that same time with all the travel details on it (it was even on the save the dates). Our invites went out in early November with a "kindly reply by" date of February 1, 2013. We sent out around 95 invites. Guess what?? It's January 31, 2013 and I have only gotten like 30 RSVPs back!! I am soooo frustrated. I have spent all day and week getting everyone's status. And, I keep hearing that they are just not sending the RSVP back (one even said they just threw away the invite when they got it 'cause they knew they weren't going). Let me just say - I wish I had not wasted so much money and time on invitations. I had even pre-stamped the RSVPs. What a waste! And, to make matters worse, today is the last day to book our discounted rooms and none of the groomsmen have booked! OMG. Wedding stress and drama! Anyone else experiencing anything like this???

    Shay, I love this forum. Could you post a list in just one posting of everything you bought and the pricing? I got lost between all of the posts on how you did 60 bags for only $109.74. Thank you!! Court

    It seems like if you just recently booked your wedding at Iberostar then you fall under the newest package which I believe says that you can't bring in an outside photographer unless you pay for them to spend the night.

    Just artifacts is actually cheaper than the Groupon. I looked this up as well. And just artifacts has the actual biodegradable kind. Make sure to look for wire free sky lanterns! The wire ones don't break up for about 9 months and if eaten by animals, it can kill them.

    I want to be there! Tammy, do you know what resort that is??

    I will be participating/watching! I am very excited for this webinar. One of the biggest questions for me is if we booked under the 2012 prices (we booked in Feb. 2012) for a 2013 wedding (ours is in May 2013), do we go off of the 2012 price list that we were given when we booked or is there new 2013 prices? Iberostar Rose Hall Suites have not given me a clear answer on this. Thank you for having this webinar!! Courtney

    I attached the price list that Soon2BDudgeon mentioned so that she doesn't have to email this out a million times! I have been trying to get ahold of the WCs to confirm whether or not I am paying off of these prices or the 2012 prices. 2013WeddingPackageFlyer_US_(1).pdf
