I know.... Kodakgallery.com it is stupid, yet I use it all the time! Once you get into the habit...

Kristi, send yourself the photo album and then cut and paste the link that you get from the shared photo album. That's the only way I've gotten a direct link.

that worked - thanks!

 

I counted how many chairs there were and at the first wedding there was 70 and the 2nd had 80. Wow! Thats a lot of guest. We will only need aroud 35 or 40 chairs - it will look so small in compairison.

 

BTW - The second wedding was the same as the slide show juan posted at the hilton - it's kinda funny - that bride probably has no idea we are looking at her pictures and borrowing her ideas! IT IS THE HIGHEST COMPLEMENT!

[HBBRIDE]

Oh I am so happy it worked.

 

Yes, they were both bigger. Ours will only be 40-45 too...we think. We will send out 60 invites. Some forsure we know aren't coming but we've actually been surprised people who say they are coming. But we'll see who actually books! We have several friends pregnant or hoping to be by April so don't want to commit 100% but we totally understand.

Hey Hilton gals,

 

Just wanted to tell you that Andrew and I spent the last day of our honeymoon at the Hilton beach and it was so much fun!!!!! Although it was much more crowded than Casa del Mar, it made for a really fun atmosphere -- perfect for a wedding. I was definitely thinking of all you ladies while I laid on the beach and soaked up the rays!

Yay! The link worked! Thank you Kristi! What was the name of the wedding on Juan's sight for the Hilton - I would love to go look at those!

 

Janet - That makes me so happy to hear - I desperately want everyone to have a lot of fun!

 

OK, I'm going to go look at all the pics...

So what are your menus? Are you guys doing BUFFET or PLATED:

 

I think we're going to go with the Caribean Menu ($45/pp) and then add a pasta station for an additional $8/per person. I want to cut out the two desserts and I'm hoping that cuts a few dollars off the price. This is what it looks like. We MAY change one of themeat dishes to a vegetarian option (a good amount of vegetarians invited/coming...)

 

CARIBBEAN COOK OUT BUFFET

 

SALADS

Artichoke salad with blue cheese, leaf lettuce and dressings

Tomato and avocado salad, tropical fruit with tequila

Pico de gallo (jicama, orange and carrot)

Bell pepper salad, beet salad, spinach salad

(** I can't tell is this is 3 different salads of one salad that has all three)

 

HOT ITEMS

Spicy beef turnovers (**We may substitute a VEG item here if I can find one)

Caribbean style pork loin with bananas and sweet and sour sauce

Chicken brochette with pineapple

Seafood casserole

Tostones (**Means flattened/fried plantains)

Rice with black beans

Fried sweet potatoes

 

PASTRIES

Coconut cake (**I want to cut this out since there'll be cake)

Kalhua custard (**I want to cut this out since there'll be cake)

Exotic fruit cocktail

 

US $45.00 per person

 

ADD:

Pasta station: Chef preparing 3 types of pasta to order

US $ 8.00 P / person (PLus $60 set-up charge for the station)

 

What are you guys doing? Kristi - How was the food when you were there?
