RiuBride2013

Hi everyone! I am getting married at the RPTB on 26 Oct 2013. Anne Marie is helping me and so far it's been very seamless. We are trying to organize a welcome dinner on the day of arrival, a group catamaran excursion to Rick's cafe and a beach party for our reception. If anyone has experience with this or recommendations, I would love to hear about it. I am bringing OOT bags for guests and a few things I have picked up on Kajiji: coral table runners, chair sashes and tulle. Vistaprint.ca has been great for invites and "Do Not Disturb" signs for our guests' doors. I found some fans on OrientalTrading.com and wrapped some of the coral tulle around the handle. They also had great votive candle holders we personalized for the reception. I found photographer Marcia E Roberts through a friend of mine, her work is amazing! We can't wait for our week in paradise!

Could someone please send me the templates they have if its not too much trouble? Thank you!! [email protected]

I am getting married at the Riu Palace Tropical Bay October 26/13. Time really does fly and I'm trying to plan and getting a lot of great info from this site. We will have 30 guests including our wedding party. We are paying an additional $200 to have the beach area for the reception after dinner at the Steakhouse. I booked a local photographer, Marcia E Roberts, who my co-worker and several clients have used. I am also booking a dj. I found the pricing at the resort to be exorbitant. What I am hoping to upgrade is on the arch which I understand from threads will be a couple hundred, and adding the chair covers ($9 if you don't need sashes?) and tiki torches. Has anyone had any experience with the beach area and use of lighting? I bought sashes, table runners, tulle for the arch, personalized votive candle holders, fans for the ceremony and have recently started my OOT bags and centerpieces with either reasonably priced websites or online using Kajiji. Hoping to keep the trend going so I don't spend a small fortune on the resort upgrades. Any help would be much appreciated
