Azul Sensatori Brides - POST HERE!

I always thought that was funny too (bad grass)! As far as the cake toppers, I would say it depends on what you planned to do with them. For me, I'm going to sell alot of my stuff when we get back or after our AHR if we use it for that. Our toppers, however, we're going to frame. We got Greek letters made for our respective fraternity/sorority and a "W" that we're all gonna put in a frame. That's the only reason we spent that much on it. I guess if it means that much to you re-order it. If you think it will sit in a box forever...don't waste your money. It's not like you don't have tons of other keepsakes or gorgeous pics to remember your day. P.S. I'm so glad you finally asked me a question. Lol! I felt like our relationship was kinda lop sided too!!

Yeah, we have 45 people (I think - keep losing count cause it changes). I wouldn't be surprised if only 25 show up. I choose to look at the bright said, that's less money we have to shell out!!

Ooooh! Sounds like fun! I wanna come!

Ridiculous!! I actually laughed when you mentioned them not being able to sit down. I had the same idea so I could have the chiavari chairs!! I told my MOH that we only needed x amount of chairs because the bridal party didn't need chairs and the entire time I was referring to the ceremony while she was thinking reception! I laughed forever when she said, "you're gonna make us come all the way to Mexico and we can't sit? I'm glad you got us flip flops." I thought that was hilarious. HOWEVER, if you come at the last minute...we CANNOT guarantee you a chair. Better bring comfortable shoes!

I had been meaning to ask you how this worked out. Sucks that you stressed about it for nothing. But I bet if you didn't have the money when they asked for it they would have taken it out immediately!

So is this something that they may offer in the future (before November)? I guess I should've peeled myself out of bed that day!

I apologize before I ask cause I know you've probably been over this many times, but what company did you use for the vans/clubbing trip? I keep saying that I'm not going to plan anything away from the resort because my guests are only staying 4 days (2 of which will be wedding stuff, 1 will only be the morning of checkout). So Saturday is the only full day that's wide open for everyone and I kinda wanted them to be able to relax and enjoy the resort. But, I feel like maybe we should have options in place. Thoughts?

Negotiate, negotiate, negotiate! Always threaten to the furthest point you're willing to go, IF you're thinking about changing resorts anyway (which I woudld hate for you to do). All they can do is say no.

I know! I was looking forward to having a drink with someone from here!! But I'm glad you're happy and everything worked out for you. Do you know the sex or do you wanna be surprised? Yeah, 10 months is weird cause everyone always says 9. Since I work at a women's hospital I always say 10 months and people look at me like I'm crazy so sometimes I have to break it down for them. Anyway, congrats again!!

Ladies, I wanted to let you know that we finally booked the AHR! It will be Mardi Gras weekend 2011!

CONGRATS! That should be an AWESOME Time!!!!

That sounds awesome!

YAY!!!! Congrats, I'm so happy for you!

You make a great point. I absolutely LOVE your idea BTW of the greek letters and framing the W, brilliant, I've never heard of it before! You've struct my originality chord! I wanted to literally put them on my bookshelf or something so you're right, spending more money on them isn't worth it

LOL, hell no! We don't have a lopsided relationship! I consider my duty as an AS bride and a bride in general to help B2B's. I received so much help and asked so many questions for over a year so now I get to pay it back, or forward, depending on how you look at it.

CONGRATS!! I'm so jealous! I've never been to NOLA, I just put in some "travel requests" with my travel buddy to go to this year NY (we go every year), GA, & LA. Never been to Georgia & Louisiana!

Ladies who have gotten married,

Question: For the Reception package - What Private Banquet package did you get? Did you like it? Did it come with the tables and chairs and such or did you have to rent those seperate?

Thanks Maggie!!! I leave for the airport in 2 hours and this day could not be creeping by any slower!

 

I had a private dinner, Surf & Turf, tables chairs, white linens and napkins came with it, I rented the Chivali chairs instead. Everyone loved the Surf and Turf, it was delish!

We had a guest put a deposit down, and cancel. We also just had 4 guests book in 24 hours of leaving! I think we are at 50...not even sure!

Mine is still in my account too! And I am leaving right now!

Amy, Have a wonderful Vegas wedding!

We are leaving right now! The limo is here so my message has to be quick! Can't wait to share when we get back :)
