OK, I've been meaning to post to this thread for DAYS now!
Rafael & I met at work in 2004. I was actually on the panel that interviewed him to come work for the company. He came to work for us & we went to lunch one day to discuss a business issue. We ended up going to lunch once a week or so for about 6 months on a friendly basis. Finally in April of last year we went on our first official date on Easter since neither of us had plans. A lunch date turned into a dinner date and now here we are! He is the man that I've been waiting for and it was so reassuring to have him come into my life. He proposed to me this year in April. So I guess we've been together a year & a half.

Based on what you say, you may want to look at the Cabo Surf Hotel. They are a small boutique hotel with 19 rooms of varying sizes. You could very easily fill the whole resort with your wedding party. Janet just got married there, so see her review. -
Great question! I've been thinking that I should contact a seamstress ASAP and get her opinion, and inquire as to her schedule. In general, I plan to start the alteration process mid-January for our mid-March wedding. I don't think there is much to do - bring in the bodice & make the bustle. But I certainly don't want to be stressing about getting my dress back in time -so many other things to worry about!

OH my gosh! That is an amazing looking wedding! And what fun. I especially love her words of bridal wisdom toward the end...so true, and things I am learning myself in recent days. GREAT POST!

Both Raina and Leigh also used Bradley. I'm excited to have him as our photog - he seems just like our kinda guy!

Teee heee! I know, when I signed in the other day I was flabbergasted at how many points I had - I guess I won the weekly lotto jackpot. WOOHOO!

Hi Shannon! You have come to the right place! There is so much info here about a multitude of locales and venues. Take your time & don't freak out! (Well, go ahead, we understand).
Remeber, we've all been in the same boat at one time or another. Picking your geographical location & selecting a venue will definitely be one of the more stressful & time consuming things to do. Once that part is done you will be relieved!

Yeah, I think it's a nice balance between DIY and sanity maintenance!

Sarah - suprisingly, the pricing is not bad at all. The pocketfolder I'm ordering is $1.10/each. Then the invitation mats are $8.25 per package of 25 and the invitation that you print on is also $8.25/pkg of 25. The little inserts are around the same. So overall, for 50 invites I will be spending just under $140. There is no minimum order, other than the fact that the mats & invites are sold in packages of 25.

Oh Janet, those are so great! I just checked out the "favorites" and will be looking at the others later. I love all of the fun pics you took. Also, the resort looks AMAZING all lit up (last pic I think). Thanks so much for sharing

OK, so the idea to get my arsty cousin to design my invites is not working. So, I went thru a stage where I thought I would make my own from scratch, that's just too ambitious for me with the time I have available. This is where I am now: I've ordered a "mock-up" kit from cardsandpockets.com to do a semi-DIY invitation. What I like is they have all of the components cut to size for you, you just have to do the printing & assembly. I'll post my first try when I receive the kit. This is what I'm going for, only in my colors of aqua, white & either yellow or green:

I love your inspiration photos! I've seen those somewhere & they were really expensive. I can't wait to see the ones you create! -
There are so many variables here. Like Kash said, flights & lodging tends to be more pricey during these 3 day weekends. However, if I had enough advance notice and it was for someone I care about & in an awesome place, then I would be all for it. There really is an upside to having an extra day for travel or whatever built in due to the holiday...it's hard for a lot of people to want to take time off for somebody elses event.
I guess I'm not really helping am I? Overall, I would say it's a good idea from my perspective. Sometimes I forget a 3 day weekend is coming & am then pissed at myself because it's too late to make plans, so I would definitely go to your wedding, cuz then I would have built in plans for the long weekend.
