If I was getting married at home I would just pick one but if it isn't a big difference it would nice to offer a a choice AND make customized plate menus to each person.

Haven't really spoken to her but I've heard good things. My wedding isn't till November 2014.

Have you decided on a type of theme or a colour scheme? I have a vision in my head on what I hope to see for my invitations and wedding as a whole. But it's all ideas at this point.

I think he's crazy lol ahhhhhhhhhhhh this is the only thing bugging me! Where did you get your STD and invites? or have you? I will be sending mine 13 months prior. We have a lot of weddings next year whom people will be required to travel for therefore I need to get mine out as soon as possible. My graphic designer is working on them as soon as I get a sample, I will upload a sample as soon as I get it.

I just felt relief when i read that lol I hope everything goes as smooth as everyone elses did Best wishes for your wedding!!!

Quote: Originally Posted by minigodiva Does anyone know what type of room upgrades we get?

Most of my guests are booking the junior suite. I think fiancé and I are going to look into the Master Suite Ocean Front Club Premium and hopefully upgrade from there. I don't want to depend the upgrade since I want to have my ladies take pictures in the room as I am getting ready.

I chose the package that includes the MC, but don't know if DJ Mannia has to be booked separately or has a different price list. I've also read great things about him. What was the price you were quoted for dj and mc? And is this without the 'fireworks'? Does anyone know if there is no mc, does that mean there is no mic at all? I'm trying to justify all the costs :s

Quote: Originally Posted by zeman321 How far along in the planning process is everyone on this thread? We are really just getting started. Have the dress. Just ordered STD's. Have the wedding booked. How close to your date did you start talking to the wedding coordinator at your resort? Ours wants the planning sheet 1 to 2 months before. My wedding is November 2014. I've already started with preliminary booking for my entourage and family. We just finished our engagement/save the date photo shoot. I will then be sending my save the dates in October. Then whomever has rsvp'd I will send them an official wedding invitation for about 4 months in advance. I'm a little ahead I think haha.

I didn't think I was going to but when I went I fell in love. When you know, you know. Besides for me at least, it's going to take MINIMUM 6 to 8 months to order.

Quote: Originally Posted by zeman321 Change of subject, I know, but is anyone planning on using the wedding cord during their ceremony? I think it' s a really pretty way to incorporate a Mexican tradition into the wedding. Saw a picture of a cord made of flowers that another bride used in her wedding in Mexico and it was beautiful! I am Filipino and I never even thought to change the traditional cord to something like flowers. Ours is a veil, cord, and coin. Any other ladies incorporating this tradition with their ceremony?

Glad I stumbled upon this, getting to 150 is insane! Glad to see some Canadian brides out there. Any from Winnipeg???

If you have any questions let me know! Our photographers (Luckygirl.ca) are from Winnipeg, Canada and are AMAZING! They will be here in Riviera Maya, Mexico for all of next March if anyone has a wedding around that time down here. Day Before Wedding Shoot: http://luckygirl.ca/blog/katy-mikee-e-session/ Wedding Part One: http://luckygirl.ca/blog/hk-wedding-fiesta-parte-uno/ Wedding Part Two: http://luckygirl.ca/blog/hk-wedding-fiesta-parte-dos/ OH MY GOODNESS! Your pictures are amazing! You and your husband look so beautiful. I am still in awe on how great your wedding was. Your pictures have portrayed exactly what I would want for our wedding. Your wedding is definitely an inspiration! Funny that your photographer is from Winnipeg, as I am as well! SMALL WORLD! They did an amazing job. We have a photographer already but he has a very similar style/feel. I am definitely going to show him your beautiful pictures as an example of how we want our wedding portrayed. THANK YOU for responding. I'm still shaking my head in amazement. Your wedding was beautiful. Best wishes to you and your husband.

New to this thread but so happy to have stumbled upon it. This is exactly my style/theme for my wedding and for the past posts, what beautiful pictures. You brides have definitely created a beautiful wedding. I hope there are still a few women posting on here. My wedding is not till November 2014.

You looked BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for very thorough review. It's definitely interested to hear a review from someone who is staying at the Beach side vs the Deluxe side. I'm glad that everything pulled together for you. I am growing with excitement since Hildabranda is also my WC. In the mean while, I am patiently/impatiently awaiting my confirmation for my deposit. Best wishes to you and your new husband!

Screw the colored draping! AMEN that the draping that we've been seeing in the pictures are included. It was hard to picture the bar higuey without it.

We FINALLY processed the transfer after going back and forth with our travel agent and our bank. And when we were trying to process it, it took them an HOUR to figure how to do it. Stupid scotiabank!

Haha cheers to you girl! And wow! You have an amazing guest list! They better doing a little bending for you with amount of guests your bringing to their hotel! I can't imagine your guest list in your home town!

Very true. Wahh! Everything is costing so much more than I expected!

Thanks for the responses ladies. Since I'm from Canada, my bank is charging me $40. My travel agent is going to see if the fees are cheaper doing the transaction with them. I just want to get this out of the way and on to more fun and exciting details.
