oh you tease! I just saw PV and thought it meant you were posting pics (I neglected to see which forum you posted in).

Sorry I'm late, but just wanted to say Congrats Alyssa!!!!

Thanks ladies! I think they are really nice, however, Hans prefers the ones I designed and has "given me permission" (in his words) to order the paper to DIY. I'll post picks once I'm done.

When you say Costco you mean eInvite, right? I think they are partners, so you get the Costco price for the eInvite product. The only time I had a problem was viewing my proof and I just called customer service and they fixed it right away. Janet, yes its eInvite via Costco. Thank you for your response.

We are getting married early July and are preparing to get a tent just incase it rains. I refuse to travel all the way to PV to get married indoors. I know its hot, however this past summer in L.A. it reached 115 degrees and we dealt with it so, I'm sure we can deal with the heat there.

If anyone has ordered their invites from Costco, can you share your experience? I was planning on making my own, however, I came across an invite on costco.com which I really like and its pretty affordable. I need to make/purchase 130 invites and figured spending about $80 on invites opposed to $200 to on paper/envelopes to make my own, is starting to look really appealing! My only concern is that they don't come with response cards or inserts. - Browser Detection

How did the chocolate fountain work out for your guests?? Priscilla suggested it, but we are getting married in July (super hot) and I know I wouldnt crave melted chocolate in that heat. However we are not having hors d'hoeuvres during the cocktail hour, so I feel as though we should have something there for guests to snack on before dinner.

Also, I don't think she knows that we are for sure going with LC because *WE* just decided this. She has just been MIA... very odd, she just called me last week.??

Quote: Originally Posted by JaimeLynne Actually, yes I know EXACTLY where I want my WD - it's an Art & Healing Spa up in the mountains called "Terra Noble". The thing is most of the locals we spoke with had never heard of this place. The WC that was showing us around had her civil ceremony there so she knows all about it. If we don't here from her soon I will try contacting that girl who had her wedding there (can't remember her name right now but I know someone posted the info for me somewhere)... Hi Jaime, Prisar doesn't do one day coordination. She mentioned this when we had our first consultation. Did you already tell her that you are going with LC?? I have a feeling this is why your not getting a response. p.s. the bride who had her wedding at Terra Noble was Amanda (not sure of her BDW screen name, she hasn't been around in a while) but here is her Knottie planning bio Bio

That's great Jaime!!!

I can't remember what they were made of. I mean, they had some tacky suits there, lol, be we liked this one and we needed something affordable. I did see linen, but in white, but I'm sure you can order them in a different color. They should have the suits in by next week, and I'll let you know.

Hello, I'm not Celina, however you can find maps in this thread http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t4634-2 The Walmart is in the Marina and the Riu is in Nuevo Vallarta. I would assume its at least 1/2 hour??

Quote: Originally Posted by kr3611 Thanks so much for the advice. Can you send me any info you have about the Mayan Palace?

But I can help if you have any specific questions.

But did you notice all it can do LoL!

twobirds bridesmaid this is such a great idea!!! Kinda pricey though. We are getting the dresses made, however its a great option for your bridesmaids!

okay, I got stuck at $25,000 e-ring, huh?? Really?

Ahhh!!!! I love it! Too funny!

Hi Kristin, We are getting married at the Mayan Palace (in the Marina close to Vallarta Palace). Our guests are not required to stay at the hotel. In fact most of our guests are staying next door at Melia, which is an AI. We are staying at Melia before the wedding and will only stay at the Mayan Palace on our wedding night. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t34 http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t9917 Have you tried Playa Fiesta?? Its a small boutique hotel that specializes in DW. You can get the whole place for yourself. It looks like a great place and the prices are not bad. Welcome to Playa Fiesta

Very nice Shelley!!!
