@chrisdior, it won't let me view the document, but i'll private message you my email and perhaps you could send it to me? Thanks!! sashes.doc

ok, good to know, I'll check with them Thanks for sharing the link, that's a great price!!!

Thank you I'll have to check with them, and otherwise that's a great price for the chair sashes, thanks for sharing the link!

Does anyone have a document from the WC that shows photos of the different coloured chair sashes? I've recently changed my colours, and i'm wondering what the dark blue looks like?

Do you know if this link is still active? When I try to access it, it says that you have to be invited to view it, I realize it's been a few years since you posted it, but just thought I would ask. Thanks!

Hi Daneli, I am planning to be married November 2013, but I did visit the resort 3 years ago, and was also there in July back in 2003 or so. The resort is beautiful, allows children and has a kids club. As for the temperature in July, it's HOT!!!! It's the hottest time of the year, but that does mean that prices are cheaper. In 2003 I went in July, it was fine for me as I like laying in the sun and relaxing, but it was scorching. The last 3 years we've gone in November and much more tolerable. Still hot, but not crazy hot! Hope that helps Happy planning!

The huppa does look beautiful! Decisions decisions!!

Beautiful photo! Looks gorgeous as is, I don't think the arch is going to be necessary for us. Thank you so much for sharing the photo

Thanks so much, i'm glad i'm not the only one that wants to send out save the dates 11 months ahead of time. We're aiming for the first week of November 2013 for the wedding and I hope to get the invites out the beginning of January. People we've talked to already are super excited, but i'm thinking the same thing will happen, some will be super excited and then when it comes down to putting their money where their mouth is, it will be a different story LOL A friend of a friend had her guests email RSVP to the save the date, with Yes, No or Maybe and then she only sent the formal invites to the Yes and Maybe's, I'm thinking of doing this as well, of course confirming with the No's that they are FOR SURE no, so they aren't insulted, thinking maybe to send them an email in response to their RSVP with the wedding website address so they could get the info if they decided to change their mind. We have about 130 people to invite, so that's 65 invites, and it seems silly to spend the money sending invitations to people who have clearly expressed they won't be coming, thoughts?? How many months in advance did you send the official invites out?

Thank you for getting back to me! I'm anticipating the same thing happening to us. I want to give people lots of time, but I guess i'll just have to deal with the fact that some people might not decide until later, hard for the planner in me, LOL Thanks again!

Thank you for the clarification MrsNova! I like the idea of having the iPod instead of a DJ, it just seems way to expensive!! I can't believe even a simple arch isn't included If anyone has photos of the ceremony without an arch i'd be interested to see, but like you said having the ocean in the background is pretty amazing. $66 per extra guest is quite a jump from the $27 for the mint breeze, although I really want the reception outside, we may have to consider our budget again when we start to receive RSVP. Did you send save the dates? If so did you find a lot of people who mentioned they'd love to come, actually dropped off when it came down to putting a deposit? Thanks again! Thank you again!

Thank you so much for all of the info! Soooo helpful! It's hard wrapping my brain around all the details, LOL If you could send me the PDF for the centrepieces, as well as anything else you feel would be helpful that would be great! [email protected] Thanks again!

My fiance and I will have to discuss the reception location, the number of RSVP's will probably be a decided factor. Thank you again!

Hi everyone, I haven't booked my date yet, we're waiting on flight times to come out, but I have been reviewing the packages. We're looking to get married the last week of October or first week of November 2013; lots of time I know! We don't know exactly how many people we will be having but I guestimate 40 or so. I really want the reception on the beach and after reading through everyone's very helpful posts, I realize they won't let us substitute the location to the beach but keep the Mint Breeze package, which is unfortunate because I don't need my hair or make done because I have bridesmaids that do both as a profession, but i'm very set on having a beach reception, I don't wanna go all the way to Mexico just to get married in a banquet room So my question is, what exactly does the package include? Solely what is listed? For example: Do the chairs come with sashes? Or extra? Do we get some form of basic arch for the ceremony? or nothing unless we pay extra? We don't want to go crazy with extras, as we're trying to keep the cost low, but i'd like to get a grasp on what exactly i'm getting with the packages. Also is anyone thinking of bringing an ipod full of music and having just a sound system brought in? or a speaker to hook to an iPod dock? Having a DJ isn't really a big deal to us, we'll just continue the evening at the Disco! Any help would be greatly appreciated
