i[uote name=NettyD" url="/t/65076/barcelo-bavaro-palace-deluxe/1740#post_1940377]MissJali- I did book the tangerine package... maybe that's the difference? I don't know. They're so confusing. I know that going into my site visit I didn't think that they were included. When Arise said they were (and the mirrors) I asked like 3 times to make sure. I figured a bride left them there and they upgraded their basic centerpieces. She also didn't seem to think there was a charge for any Bavaro Beach guests not staying at the Palace (unless it goes over your 35 people- then there's that charge). PS. My comma button is broken! Sorry for the lack of punctuation!  I have the tangerine. package also. is it just the bowls? or the actual bowl with the set up?

Sorry if you've already answered this but Arise told me that the fishbowls were included- so are you planning on just bringing the extra stuff? I think there's been some different answers coming from Bodas regarding what is actually included in the centerpieces. Arise said the flat mirrors are included also. I hope that's all true because those Christmas wreath things were terrible! lol

That's it! I need to make a call to the resort. The fishbowls are included??!? Susana didn't freaking tell me that. and im getting annoyed that her ass isn't answering my emails!! UGH sorry I had a moment.  What package did you book? B/c it really should be included in the tangerine package since it is the most expensive one smh. 

Guilty, I love planning parties and my sister doesnt. She's more like what's it cost? OK i'll pay it but you do the foot work lol

Well i was saving the photo for my bouquet for my grandmother. I was originally going to save the seat for my grandmother but I can't exactly save like 10 seats in the first row. But because this wound is so fresh and he's responsible for us being together and should've been a groomsman, i can manage to save him a seat, im not sure about photos, that's a bit much for me personally.

But I will include a flameless candle near my guest book table with a frame and a poem for my lost loved ones

Ha! I had a cousin make the same freaking comment regarding me having an engagement party and bridal shower. I wasn't going to have a bridal shower but since you made a comment, guess what I will. My maid of honor is my little sister, who has her own responsibilities with her child and stuff, 1 bridesmaid is planning her own DW and the other 2 are in their own world. So I am helping my sister plan my bridal shower as in looking for the location and pricing the food and drinks for her. I get frustrated about it also. But your friend seems a bit negative, better to drop her maybe?

Shugapop Im sorry to hear that. Maybe everything will change in the next couple of months. I'll keep her in my prayers and hope she get better to see you in your special day.

It's a private group chica. And I have to approve the ppl who join.

I'm just doing fishbowls with sand, shells, white mini pillar candle and an orchid in it. I gave the idea to another bride here and it turned out wonderful. The resort charges $75 per table and it's not nearly as nice lol

So in terms on honoring my friend that passed:

I'm thinking of leaving a seat empty at the ceremony with a reserved sign? Is that tacky? What do you girls think?

The traveling starfish....  in trying to keep it going amongst out little group of friends I feel like we need to figure out if all of our friends have been added to the list.

 

In order to be able to come up with a solid plan on making sure everyone gets the fish on time I feel like this is necessary - with the list we have now there are going to be a couple of tricky exchanges to figure out.  

 

Is everyone on the list already??  Do you see anyone missing that might be on vacation or something and hasn't been around to be added?  Should be put a must "sign up by" date?  Or should we just leave it open for others to join?  

 

                                                                                                                               

October/November seems tricky. Any 2 brides getting married at the same destination? Seems kinda close where we need 4?? i have no idea.

and congrats!!!

Anyone have any ideas for cheap and easy things to carry by plane? I'm starting to get frazzled by all of this. lol

 

 

Thanks for the help ladies!

LMFAO! No hunny! I'm bringing my own centerpieces. $50-$75 a piece for 8 tables? No way!

on that supergiftplace site smh lol

$7 for 10 sarongs! Thanks! I even bought a few extras for the girls that aren't bridesmaids. like my dear friend who is helping my sister plan my bridal shower but isn't a bridesmaid.

Congrats MrstobeD! If I had more than 7 months to my wedding, I wouldn't mind being pregnant. But as the months go by, I'm like yes one month down where I won't be stressing about my dress LOL. But 5 months is def enough time to get ready for your wedding and you;'ll already have completed the next step! Yay!!!

Thanks girls regarding the sarong!! i have to catch up on the thread but ordering sarongs now thanks lol

I think I actually know which one Cindy is too (if her pic is of her FI) I just want to be sure!

 

well Jalitza's picture is the same on here as FB so that was easy! 

LOL yea that's my engagement photo. I'm dying to change it but I think i'll wait for the wedding photos lol

Awww i only need one lol. I hope to have a honeymoon baby too. As long as I'm pregnant AFTER the wedding, I'm good lol

A cruise in 2015 sounds great loves. Granted I'm not pregnant by then lol. You girls can find me on fb "Miss Jalitza Poveda"

Thanks girls. It's been a rough night and day. Since our highschool was so small and our friends crossed over into college, i've been getting a lot of texts from people trying to break the news before I went on fb. He passed away from a heart attack at 28. It's so shocking because this guy was so healthy and athletic, he trained and did marathons. SmhI'll be ok soon

definitely use a white lining! 

Girls i am so sad. I just found out that the person responsible for bringing shemel and i together passed today. And here i was fighting over ceremony cards that now need to be changed. I never thanked him for introducing us. My heart is so heavy

tyre, that's what my mom and I said! but whatever, fi's responsible for it, I'm not playing LOL. anything else I send over there, will be done. I gave her a task bc she wanted to be included. should've known better

Yes i don't exactly have the "up-do" face. If anything, I'll just make sure I do keratin 2 weeks before I leave to help with the frizz and pin it up later for the reception lol.
