Babble away ... I want to hear all of your details! What are you doing as favors? I don't plan on doing a lot of extra decorations either - it really is beautiful there, you have both the beach and the jungle! What a great surprise - I'd love to see the faces of your guests when they find out where they're headed! What does your dress look like? Are you heading over to Las Caletas early? I think I will, just so I have time to get the hair done (blah), but then you miss out on the boat ride with everyone! I'd love to hear how other brides have handled this. Are you having someone do your hair/makeup at Las Caletas - if so, who are you using? I really need to think about what I want to do there ...

Welcome! I think that's a great place to start - just start reading on the different places in the RM, and see what you're drawn to. Personally I found that making a list of all of the places helped (me and my lists!) and then writing notes about each one. I found it easier to go over with that way with my FI. Also, there are a lot of girls on this forum that can help - it's more active here during the work week - but they're sure to offer some advice. What are you looking for? What's your budget, how many people do you expect? Would you like all-inclusive? Adult only or family friendly? If you give us some more information, we can suggest some different places. Happy planning!

lol - i'll take the hug! you're wery welcome - glad it's useful!

What a great feeling - that's the next big item on my list (DECIDE on the invites!). Have you posted a picture (you had to know that question was coming, I beat TammyM to it!). I think I"ve seen them - but I can't remember what they look like ...

Oh boooooo. I think I might sell the one I got if anyone is interested, I just tried it on once. Not sure I can return it since it was on sale - or maybe I can get store credit.

Welcome, Andrea! I know it can be overwhelming planning a DW - it's so hard over email and the internet! But we're all here to help, and there are lots of brides getting married in Mexico, and many in Cancun too. Let us know what you need help with - and we'll do our best!

Welcome Lindsay - glad your FH found this site as well! I would love to hear about how you're pulling this surprise off - how cool is that!! Did you just plan a group vacation, and then people are just going to be there for your wedding? What a great idea! What have you done in terms of decorations for the wedding? That's one thing I am struggling with - what to do, since I don't think I need much, but I don't want things (like the tables) to be bare. Do you have any pictures? Your wedding date is coming up so soon! We have 3 Jan. Las Caletas brides, on the 17th, 19th, and 27th so there will be lots of information coming in right before your wedding.

I'm not seeing your pictures for some reason; these or the ones you posted earlier ...

Welcome, Jennifer! I am sure you will get all of the help you need here, there are many girls getting married in PDC. Have you looked into any resorts yet? What kind of wedding do you want to have ... church, chapel outdoors, beach? Let us know more and we will try to help!

So true - I am already on the lookout for cute frames so I can decorate the new house with pictures of us! We just have nothing now ...

Then I plan to tie a ribbon around the glass that says "The Perfect Pair". I just think it will look cute and give some color to my table. -Glenda That really is a cute idea - I'm adding it to my list of stolen ideas!

Great photos - are you using the same photographer for your wedding?

You're very welcome!

They really have some cute dresses for a reasonable price - both wedding dresses and a WD dress or something. White House | Black Market - Show All

"BDW On The Road" or something ... "BDW Goes Mobile"

Oh yikes. That's a tough one, for sure. I go back and forth between being honest and letting your FI know the truth - since YOU will be wearing this for the rest of your life! But at the same time, you then risk hurting the feelings of both him and your FMIL. It sounds like maybe your FI knew your style, but didn't trust his gut well enough. That's too bad. Does he know how you feel? If he doesn't maybe you can explain to him that he really did know you best, and while you appreciate the gift, you'd rather have something less flashy, and more "you." And then he can talk to his mom and try to explain that you love the ring, it just isn't you and you'd love to have something a little more simple. Some women do operate under the assumption that more, and bigger, diamonds are better - and don't understand when some of us just don't agree!

No problem ... and thanks!

Thanks! It's 1 of about 3 pictures I have of us ... so sad!

Honestly, that's the one I was leaning towards, but I haven't really been able to try one on so I don't know what it will look like. Do you have your band yet? If so - let's see it!

Thanks! We have so few pictures of us I got excited when I found another one. This is from his best friends wedding, he was the best mad ... he's all spiffed up!

This cracked me up! You're a wedding-a-holic! You're more than welcome at mine ... come on over!

Just came across this site - it has some cute stuff. Beach Wedding Favors by Two Hearts Wedding Favors

I don't know if I am getting a veil. At first I wasn't, but then I was thinking I wouldn't look like a bride as much as just a girl in an ivory dress! (so silly) I think I may get a veil, but take it off after the ceremony.
