RIU - MB Brides...What Package did you Pick?

[YoursTruly]

Hi RIU-MB brides. I selected the Caprice package but am thinking that All the extra stuff is not necessary. I would rather concentrate on the decorative part of the ceremony (flowers and trimmings), but other than flowers and linen, the RIU decorations don't really include all that much. What package did you pick if you decided to bring ALL your decorations or a hybrid of bringing some decorations and using RIU's vendors? Trying to piece it all together. So confused.....

I got the Caprice package also...i'm not really sure if i am going to bring decorations for the ceremony...maybe just for the reception

I chose the free package because I don't need all that extra stuff but if I want flowers or linens you can always add it on and then you pick what you want instead of having everything in the package and it could be a bunch of stuff you don't want. I am also not going to use the bouquet because I can't get any pictures to know what I will have for flower so I can't make my bridesmaids flowers without knowing what mine looks like. I don't want theirs to over-power mine.

I went with the free one considering it has the dinner with it anyways, and I think that the beach and water will be enough decoration anyways. I will just add on whatever extras we need.

We chose the free package as well. Just like the prior posts, I figure I'll just pay the extra for the things we really want like a different bouquet for me and more professional pictures than any package was offering.

 

I can't wait for the first one of us to actually have a wedding there. RMB12/4/08 are you the first on here to go? You'll have to give us lots of pointers when you get back!

I almost chose the Royal package but ended up selecting the Free one after reading on the forum. We will just add the extras.

Yes I guess I am the first one on here going to RIU MB. THat is kinda nerve racking!!! I am making my bouquets and still need to do it. I better get moving but I can't make up my mind on what I want. I was going to use their bouquet for me and make my bridesmaids but then I don't know what kind of flowers to use for theirs so I am going to just make all of them... 6 weeks and I will be there and almost on my way home.

That's so exciting!! Don't be nerous I'm sure everything will be great. I'm already having dreams about being there so I can't imagine what's going through your head. Just enjoy everything, you'll never get to experience anything like this again! Good luck with the planning?? Did you pick the gree package too?

[RMB12/4/08]

yes I did pick the free package. We have a group of 30 going so I will decide once we get there what else if anything I want to add. Good luck with your planning too. Yes I am very excited but so ready to get there and have it over so the stress level will get back to norm, it's really taking a toll on me... Still waiting to hear if they have received my papaerwork for the marriage license also. I sent it a couple weeks ago, I'm nervous. I will let you know when I receive an email saying that they got it all! I'm glad we have others to chat with, it helps calm the nerves, (a bit!)

I can't wait to see what it is going to be like! I'm in Lucea shooting the second week of December and might take a day trip to the RMB and take some photos to get a feel for it.
