Hi kard613,

 

I ordered the Large Brite Blue & the Large Lime Green ones.  It's possible they may have sent you the wrong ones...I would email Amols and send them a picture of the ones you received to confirm the color.  In the order they sent me I had a few broken /damaged ones that they replaced as well as a few Large Seafoam green ones - I could see the color difference.  Their email address is sales@amols.com.

 

Amols was great to work with and sent me the correct color green colored ones as well as replaced those that were damaged/broken.  They said I could toss the damaged ones and they sent UPS to pick up the incorrect colored ones for FREE. 

 

Let me know how you make out.  Good Luck!!!

Hi MrsLtoBe - I went back & forth about OOT bags and then just took the plunge - this should be fun getting everything there!  I found the bottle openers at the "cheapest" last March at Price Wise

Thank Elissa!  I actually did email them on Friday night and they put samples of both the blues in the mail to me today so I can compare them. I didn't even think to look through the entire box to see about broken ones, guess I will be doing that today. They're customer service has been very responsive and helpful so far.

I FINISHED MY CEREMONY PROGRAMS!!!!!  WOOT HOOT!!!  I ALSO COMPLETED MY GUEST BOOK FOR THE WEDDING RECEPTION!!!

 

I've been looking for a unique idea for our Guest Book for a few months now...I finally decided I wanted to have a beautiful hard covered coffee table book...perhaps a photo book of Playa del Carmen that our guests could sign.  Do you think I could find one???  Absolutely not.  

 

I then read on this forum that BDW Bride, Cougs created a Guest Book on Shutterfly using photos she found of Playa del Carmen on the internet as well as the website Flickr.  I found a lot of cool photos on FLickr and I also used some photos I took in Playa del Carmen when we stayed at the Riu Palace Riviera Maya (our wedding resort) almost 3 years ago.

 

Shutterly has some great photo book designs as well as promotional coupons all the time.

 

I just made this book this week & paid $44.05!  I just ordered it a few minutes ago & wanted to share.

 

I had a 40 % coupon which expires tomorrow (GIVEHEART) as well as free shipping (SHIP30) if you spend over $30!

 

Take a peak - so excited.to see the end result!

Love your guest book Elissa! I also did mine on Shutterfly but I took advantage of the free 8 X 8 photobook coupon I found and used our engagement photos.  It came out so lovely!  What size is your book? I am thinking I might want a bigger one.

Oh and another thing I am grappled with about this guest book (I used the same design as you did) is how to get people to sign it. Some of the pages have more detailed things to fill in and if the book is say in the front somewhere and is to be signed as people enter the reception, won't there be a long queue?  Do you plan to pass it around?

Isn't it so fun!?!  I created the 8 x 1  photo book.  I realized this morning in the shower that I did not put Playa del Carmen anywhere on the book/cover or the resort name, but oh well!  No biggie...we will all know where we are/were.

As far as geting people to sign it, I may spread the word to the guests a few days prior to the wedding...just letting them know about the guest book and how there's fun things in there.  The majority of our guests are arriving Saturday and our wedding is Tuesday so I should be able to "spread the word."  I may also make an announcement at the reception as well and perhaps have some key friends even pass it around to sign.

That sounds like a great idea!  I think I will do the same and "spread the word" as well.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
