Welcome Jamie! I like the cruise ship wedding idea. Can't wait to hear more about the details.

I really think this place I went to is just over priced.

Welcome Mona! Sounds like you're going to have a great wedding! I can't wait to hear more about it. Let us know if we can help you with anything.

I think that the worst that would happen would be having to pay import taxes on the items coming through customs. We're also bringing lots of stuff. I've chosen not to worry about potential import problems yet. I think I'll wait until I get to customs and then play dumb if there is a problem.

So, I had my first dress fitting this morning. All I can say is HOLY COW! I apparently picked the most expensive alterations place is the country. The quote came in at $400 - 450 to take in the bodice 3/8" tapered through the hips to 1" and $150-200 for a hem and $75-125 for the bustle. I almost fell over. I told the lady the alterations were more expensive than my dress. She basically encouraged me to go somewhere else for the alterations. She even gave me her cell phone number to call her after consulting with other seamstresses to see which one of the other people I should take the dress to based on what they tell me needs to be done. Just had to vent a little. I was almost in tears on the way to work after my fitting. But, I feel better now and I have a new task on my to do list.......to find a new seamstress! If anyone can share their alterations costs, it would be helpful. Thank you!!

Natasha~ Wow!! You were such a beautiful bride! And, your pictures are absolutely amazing! I love the last one by the pool....the colors are amazing and it is such a romantic photograph! I can't wait to read your full review. Have a great honeymoon!!

I'm actually using my points to pay for my photographer, Jonathan Thrasher's plane ticket. Yay! Saves some $$$.

Welcome Ava!! I'm a Cabo Sheraton bride. If I can help you with anything let me know! There are few threads about the Sheraton and Fiesta Americana, just do a search and you should find them.

My FI will wear a tan jacket and slacks with a short sleave tommy bahama style shirt underneath. If he is super sweaty/uncomfortable before the ceremony, maybe he won't wear it. We'll see. The Groomsmen will wear matching slacks and shirt to FI, but no jackets.

I'm doing OOT bags and there will be a fan on each chair at the ceremony and the place cards will be attached to starfish ornaments. So, I guess the fans and starfish are favors ...not sure. I won't have anything on the actual reception table in terms of favors.

Welcome LeShay! You've found a great resource in this site. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. If I can help you with anything please let me know.

Welcome to site Mishi. I'm getting married in Cabo in June and it looks like only my immediate family and one aunt and 2 friends on my side. The rest of the 50 guests are friends and family of my FI. oh well, we'll have a blast anyway. I'm sure your wedding is going beautiful. I can't wait to hear more about it.

Welcome! You've definitely found a great resource! Everyone here is so kind and helpful. Let us know how we can help you.

Welcome Tara! I'm a Cabo bride too and also getting married at the Sheraton, like Tammy. Good luck and let us know if we can help you.

Welcome Guilyn! Ann made some great non-resort suggestions. I'm getting married in Cabo at a large resort and I did hire a wedding coordinator. I'm so glad that I did. She seems to be really on top of everything and very detail oriented. Good luck! Let me know if I can help.

Welcome Kristina! I haven't heard of Maroma beach before. Do you have any pics of your location?

Welcome Jessica! Can't wait to hear all about your wedding and see your pics in a couple of months!!

Welcome Heidi!! Let us if we can help!!

Tammy, I'd say stick with the wedding cake or individual cakes. just my 2 cents.

Welcome Julie!! Let us know if we can help you!! Happy planning!!

Hmmm...I was starting to think that the winners were choosen based on their number of posts for the day....

Sarah ~ Congrats on getting your invites in the mail! What a great feeling!

Wow! This is all news to me. I didn't even think to ask Irma if an outside hair person would be allowed. That is ridiculous. I've already booked an outside person to come to my room and paid a $100 deposit. I think I'm going to play dumb and not even mention it. I mean geez, it didn't mention anything about outside hair people in the contract and how the heck can they tell you who can and can't do your hair....just seems silly to me.

Congratulations Christa! I'm so glad to hear that everything was great! You were a BEAUTIFUL bride!! I can't wait to see all of your pictures! Thank you for the great review! Have a great honeymoon!!
