LCBride2007

pretty much any sweet! but i have some monster cookies on my counter that i might have to go inhale now that you brought it up!

i know i'm late - but this looks like a ton of fun, and what awesome decorations!

NO Yankees! lol I'm pushing for a MN Twins fan - duh! Paul said she was just crying cuz they lost that day. We'll see!

good point. the silent pictures of screaming are easier to "awww" at!

lol - a baby wig? nope, definitely doesn't need one of those!

I LOVE the Amsale - can't go wrong either way, but that's my choice. Want me to add a poll for you?

I added a poll ...

- It's a GIRL - Her name: Gwendolyn - Birth Date: May 19, 2008 - Hometown: Minneapolis, MN

OMG, he is too cute!

Anyone planning on going to this? I might try to get to AZ for this weekend and help out. Quote: Originally Posted by azhuskergirl Ann- I'm not a mommy-to-be, but my company does work with caterers.

I just loaded some new pics up to Shutterfly - so here are a few. I don't think I've posted any of these yet! no idea what she's dreaming about! pretty sure she's NOT a Chicago Cubs fan hanging out at the cabin daddy and baby happy gwen

Rachel is right - it was called "Deluxe" when I was married, and that's the one I chose. It was the bigger of the two available.

I'd absolutley tell your guests about the boat ride. They need to bring appropriate clothing and footwear! I think I put in my STDs that there would be a ~45 min. boatride to the wedding location.

Welcome to the forum, Jenna. Hope we can help ... my honeymoon was in Hawaii!

IMHO, err on the side of simplicity. you really don't need anything extra w/Caletas!

I do believe I was charged for "large" centerpeices. I brought the aqua colored stones though.

These are the people I have missing at least 2 weeks in a row. Please let me know (via PM or email) if I am mistaken! alex Betsy ErinB T&N (Tamara) tchuchuca (Tati)

oh, and once again, here are my tables/centerpieces! (sorry for those of you that have seen these 200 times! lol)

We are still over a year away...is it too soon? Or is it the sooner the better? no harm in booking now, especially if there's a date you really want, or even day of the week. saturdays book up the fastest. we were only engaged about 8 months, and I think we booked 6 months out. but we did just go by what dates were available.

Quote: Originally Posted by Ms.Boo Do they have a variety of stones there or are most of you bringing your own? I love the look of the blue ones on the brown table runner. I brought my own, and left them there. So assuming they still have them, you're more than welcome to use them!

I am in love with it, I have already set a wedding date of June 12 at the Palladium in Riviera Maya...and I think June is rainny in PV.. I just have a few questions for you guys, I went through this post but there are quite a few pages.. I really think most (if not all) of these questions are answered somewhere in this massive thread! 1. Is there an extra costs for guests to take the boat over to the wedding? Yes, if you bring more than 3 (or is it 2?) - but they allow a couple for free, then you pay beyond that. 2. What hotels do people stay at? Anywhere they want! My guests stayed at Dreams - one family stayed in PV, closer to the marina. 3. How far is PV from Riviera Maya, could my guests still stay at the PAlladium? Ummmmm, wrong coast! lol It's a totally different part of Mexico I believe. 4. We are getting a rate of 91$ per person per nite at the Palladium (AI) is there something like this in the PV area? No idea on rates at other hotels in PV - I think we payed around $126/night at Dreams PV (AI). Is June too rainy? I was married in June and didn't see a drop of rain. Sorry for all the questions, but if I am going to change locations i need to get on it... I am nervous and scared!! help.. I don't have much time (baby is waking up!), but here are some quick answers. Quote: Originally Posted by Ms.Boo Hi everyone!! My name is Shannon and I'm a newbie to this site. After reading through all 101 pages of this thread I am definitely considering Las Caletas for our wedding. My FI and I live in Calgary Canada and have family all over Canada so we are doing a destination wedding. I can't believe I never though of Las Caletas before finding this site!! We went there last year when we were in Puerto Vallarta to see Rhythms of the Night. I've emailed Kelley and received a quote back so now all I have to do is convince FI that this is the place for us! I can't wait to book it...I'm sure I'll have a million questions for you all! AWESOME! I've added you to the list - keep us updated on your planning! Quote: Originally Posted by Ashleykmorgan Thanks for answering all of my questions! I will have to search for the FAQ sticky...I checked into flights out of Minneapolis, MN where most of us would fly from, and they were $800 for June 2009I am thinking there is no way that can be right...Does that sound right? I honestly can't remember what our fights cost, and we went from Minneapolis, to PV, to Hawaii, and back to Minneapolis - and that was over a year ago. But that could be right these days w/gas prices.

Or there should be a link in my siggy. I had submerged flowers and aqua sea glass basically! BTW - here is a link to the FAQ thread Rachel created! http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t15711

Quote: Originally Posted by DanielleNDerek If they haven't even contacted you then I wouldn't even bother, they probably quit. I don't think it's fair for you to have to go out of your way to track people down. KWIM? I guess they can't really say they didn't know! We'll see what happens, but you're probably right. I probably don't need to do anything. Not sure it's been discussed, but this season ends in a few weeks, and then we usually start them the next week. But it's up to all of you!

My mom's company (Classic Cuisine) is one of the sponsers of this event, a HUGE Children's Consignment Sale, and it looks really cool. She did it last year too, and said there was a lot of cool stuff there. I thought I'd post a link for anyone that is interested! Savvy Mommies Let me know if anyone goes, I'll tell my mom to look out for you. And I bet I can talk her into giving you some free food too!
