Azul Sensatori Brides - POST HERE!

Well at least if they have bought their plane tickets, you know they are coming so you can count them in! Are you sending out formal invites? If you are, when are you asking them to rsvp by....like how many months before your wedding?

Oh wow! I sent out my STD's in May, exactly one year away.

I was planning on making my formal invites soon and asking for RSVP's by October 1st and booking by the end of 2009 no later.

I keep sending out emails too which is really good, stressing the benefits of booking early it's just hard.

Hi Everyone. For the brides who had their wedding already, did the resort look damaged or run down from the 2008 Hurricane? I heard some complaints about this.

We are sending formal invites for our religious blessing and reception in Kansas City but not for the actual wedding at AS. Since these 2 local events will have seperate invites, I didn't want to tackle another invite in the mix.

Hey Queena, I have not been there , but from people who I know who have been, and from the pictures I have seen, it is definitely not run down. The only negative thing I think is the beach, and I'm not sure if this is because the resort is new or because of hurricane. I have heard the beach is really rocky and there is lots of seaweed. I have been told that the resort is working on cleaning this up though and they sweep the beach a few times daily to keep it clean.

Happy Sunday everyone. Checking in from Atlanta with a planning status update...

Dress--still no dress!

Rings--bought both of our bands. I have to leave my engagement ring here for two weeks though. My honey was extra sweet and is adding two bands to it with another 2.5 carats

DJ--Went to the W hotel bar last night, awesome DJ was mixing. I was definitely overserved but recall him telling me that he would DJ our wedding for $500, plus his flight and hotel. I think it may be worth it!

Spent the whole day with MOB and managed not to fight!!!!

Ash I can't believe you still have no dress!! That's good you are holding out though to find the perfect one. That would be pretty awesome if that you could use that dj! Have you looked around at other DJ's? If you did, were they a lot more expensive?

BTW, who is MOB again?

ASH-please send me a pick. I sent you a PM already about it though:)
