Congrats!! have you made any decisions on your plans yet? Which resort are you hinymooning at? We're going to Secrets Maroma after our wedding (it's where the fiance proposed!)

Thanks ...we are honeymooning at Valentin Imperial Maya, it's about 25 minutes from the Cancun airport. That is so romantic that you are honeymooning where he proposed!!! I love it. That will be a fantastic week. I have always wanted to go to a Secrets resort, they are amazing!

As for plans...the ceremony is at 4pm on the beach, cocktail hour after that at a bar or lobby terrace while we finish up pictures, then reception on the beach. I am e-mailing off site photographers right now and hopefully deciding soon. Have my dress, just bought a necklace....and that's about it. My finace and I are heading to Vancouver (bigger city with more stores/choices) to get his ring, suit, my shoes, etc... Hopefully will have lots done before Christmas! I am in a hurry because I am finishing up my last bit of school in the new year.

Sounds like you are about as far along as I am. We are ring shopping after the new year.... along with invites, shoes, table decor and such. My wedding is a 5pm one... we hope to have the cocktail hour at the lobby terrace and reception at one of the pools. I am using a resort photographer...we sat down with one in October and looked through an hours worth of their material and thought they did a really nice job. Right now, the debate is... do we have some photos done before the ceremony to take advantage of the lighting and beautiful colors on the resort. I have mixed feelings on this!
I have heard great things about the Valentin... it should be a great resort to honeymoon at. I've heard it is pretty luxurious. I'd love to try it sometime myself!

NicoRuskies-
Congrats! You guys are getting married 2 days before us! We will be there the 24th, maybe we could meet up with you somewhere on the resort that week & say Hi!?! You are the closest I have seen to our date on the 30th. How far are you from Vancouver? We are actually temp. relocating to Vancouver either in April or May or after the wedding for about a year (FI work)?!! It would be great to have a friendly face in the area when we move!! Good luck with everything! Hope to chat with you soon!

Everyone-
Is anyone dealing with Aurora as their WC? I have'nt seen any reviews for her on this site yet?!! Thanks!

The STD magnet that I created based off of inspiration from - Karla-!! Thank you so much!! I ordered these from 4over4.com - 200 magnets w/ 20% off discount code (mycouponsfree20) for a total $142.52. I created my own size 6” X 2.75” so we could use an A6 envelope (4 ¾â€, 6 1/2”) in natural cream(discounted) for about $25/150 from paperandmore.com. We also created a rubber stamp(3/4” X 2 3/8”) from rubberstampchamp.com (Ideal 100 self - inking stamp) for about $10. I also put our monogram on round labels from Office Depot (Avery Multipurpose Round removable labels, 1”, White, Pack of 600 - $6.99 – Item #112441) & used clear return labels from Office Depot (Avery clear return labels, ½â€ X 1 ¾â€ - $11.99). We also enclosed a letter reminder to get everyone info on getting a start on planning for the trip.

This was ordered in Red Ink font used:Broadway











It was really easy and cost effective!! I hope you all like them!!
