Hi Trisha, there is so much info on the board regarding STD's. Have you found our search feature?? (above towards your right) Try punching in "STD's" and you'll find sooooo many threads. We used boarding passes as our STD's. We sent them more than a year in advance and at the time didn't have much info with regard to our plans. So we kept it simple and only adding the date, reception site and our website. However, many brides have including all the info you listed either by including letter, or for those who made boarding passes, used multiple pages (passes) in their STD's.

Great pics!!! Love the dress (I just tried that one on yesterday and its on my to favs!)

Don't they suggest you get your dress 6-9 months before? What do you think girls?! I'm not sure how much of this is true, but as I was trying on dresses yesterday, the sales person told me that the manufactures slow production during the winter and in Feb they completely shut down, this is why they reccomend 6-9 months. I honestly freaked! I was taking my sweet time and really wanted to wait until November when the Brides against Cancer Dress Sale comes to L.A. but now I'm not too sure.

I haven't planned on it but will def look into it, thanks! we are paying MX$5980 for 10 large bombs and 100 thunderlights. (not sure with it means but HIH.)

We should have some goofy wedding mixer hahaha the monogram?? We used it on our STD's. I made Boarding Passes. Here are a couple links with samples of STD's and monogram templates. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...e/81-stds.html http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...templates.html Quote: Originally Posted by hschoon Oh PS are you staying for your honeymoon in PV? We are moving from Velas to Marriott and staying another week after that... We are looking at the Grand Velas Vallarta in Nuevo Vallarta but we haven't booked yet. It depends if we can find a deal, its pretty pricey, but FI is determined to stay there. If not we are also considering the Grand Mayan or Vallarta Palace, both in NV.

I have already told my friends what I expect them to do at my wedding. Amy R. I plan to do the same. How are your wedding plans going Amy

Wow!!! I love them!!! Great location!!!

I stayed years ago, and can't remember the activities (plus I'm sure they've changed). by the way, you get married one day before me! My wedding is at the Mayan in the Marina about three hotels over!

oh Heidi, I'm so sorry. You can still memorialize him somehow. Saying good bye does not necessarily mean going to a funeral hall or gravesite. Its sometimes gathering your memories, momentos and honoring his life. Big hug.

Quote: Originally Posted by JaimeLynne Are you serious?!?!?!?!?! That is very surprising to me. I would think most hotel WC's wouldn't necessarily want an outside WC "butting in"... I know, that was my initial reaction. I really think I annoyed him, lol.. oh well, we are paying $2000 for our location fee which, in our contract states, includes the WC. So we're getting our money's worth! No really, I guess I've been very detailed. (I've finally embraced the fact that I am a bridezilla). But you know what, I don't care. this is my one and only wedding (no AHR) and I want it to be nice/huge, lol! Any who, I have a list info on vendors. I'll post it all as soon as i get it onto an excel sheet.

We're getting them. They were included in our package and we figured since we are getting married on 4th of July we should have fireworks right?? Haha, this was one think FI really wanted so I have to let him have one thing!

Quote: Originally Posted by mora LOL Cant believe he recommended the outside WC !!! But you are pretty ahead on everything Amy , you just need your flowers and hair/make up... Have Marco recommended someone for flowers? He should have someone... have you contacted Vodax? they have beautiful taste!!! And I think is the one that Prisar is usually having for their weddings, when I get back I can confirm that to you... Regarding the reception, everything is covered and handled by Marco so ... just email him your list of requests and I don’t think we will have any trouble helping with that as long as it on the Mayan.... I say this because when I was not considering using an outside WC he told me he couldn’t help me with the Church... Let me know what things do you want me to check on my site visit for you I feel the same way.. The vendors info he gave me are vendors I've found on my own. He did say he used Vodox and another vendor, [email protected] When I asked him if he knew if I could rent chargers (plates) he gave me the contact info to trendycristal.com (which I already have), lol. My make-up/hair.. I've saved info along the way but as a back up, 2 cousins do hair and make-up and have offered to do it so. I think all i need is flowers! I'm so excited!!!

We seemed to have take over Christine's newbie thread, lol.. so I thought I'd bump this thread. So I emailed Marco and he recommended that I do hire an outside WC, huh I was really shocked, I really don't want to pay $2000 for a one day WC. I wonder if I overwhelmed him with questions, lol!
