I always forget to take my pills so this is a better option for me. I tried the patch, but once I saw it move while I was taking a shower, I freaked and got back on the ring. lol...

Happy birthday Drea!!!

They don't have anything like that now, but it seems like something they would carry. They are also free-trade. I haven't tried them.. thanks!

I am sorry, I don't have any referrals for where to find them :/ Our preliminary RSVP response is about 180, so I do expect between 150-125. I have family who travel often to Mexico (some drive) so we plan so send some stuff with them. They are about a 4 hour drive away from PV most will make the drive. If I find a great deal, then I'll purchase them, if not, I'll beed to think of something else. I've even thought of contact some WC's in PV to see if they'd want to buy them from me after the wedding.

Its so funny, I haven't purchased my dress yet, but I felt like I had to drag my mom to the bridal salon with me. I really wanted her there the first time but didn't seem as excited as I hoped she'd be.

Quote: Originally Posted by Hopels I know you're looking for round, but I found rectangular placemats for $2 each on this site - maybe they would do a discount for a large order? They have a lot of nice options... the inexpensive one is the Pandan Placemat. Murni's in Bali - Online Shop - Placemats These are from Ikea - first is $0.99, second is $1.99. Hope that helps! Thanks, but I’m looking for the round ones. I don’t think I can fit 10 on a round table. I was thinking of getting the Ikea ones and some how staining them, but again, I don’t think I can fit 10. I do keep checking Ikea out hoping that they get round ones in.

Quote: Originally Posted by jak27 One more suggestion, have you tried Garden Ridge? I bought about 100 chargers there once and they were just fine, did the job. Just a thought? They might be out now that the summer season is over, but they might have them marked down, as well. Good luck! never heard of it, but its worth a shot!

I've only tried BigLots, but had no luck. I even tried a supplier in the Philippines but they were charging $6 each!

Quote: Originally Posted by beachbride hmmm... these really aren't cheap are they! the cheapest I can find is a seller on ebay.... maybe you can contact her and get a price for 175.... the cheapest I can find is $5.50 a piece... Ebay Rattan Charger Yeah, they are pretty pricey. I emailed my WC to see if there are any rental places which may carry them. But he hasn't responded yet. Thanks Shelly! Quote: Originally Posted by akh here are some for $3.15 A-1 Party Rental China since you want so many, i bet you could negotiate a lower price - it can't hurt to try anyway! Thanks Ann! I'll send them an email.

I'm looking for Wicker (Rattan) Chargers or round placemats for CHEAP... if anyone comes across a good deal, please let me now. ( I'll need about 175!) TIA I'm going for this look.. (pictures from knottie Plumeriapal, roccodesigner.com, bdw NABUMBAH (Tasha).. and I can't remember where else.. hope you all don't mind I really want the palm centerpeice with these chargers (or placemats), the linens are pure white, kinda boring.)

I just went to his site and they provide a contact form Aldo Tovar Photographer E-Mail: [email protected] I believe Raeka is using him.

Great!! Thanks for the info, I just emailed them! I think we're cleaning out their stash!

Thanks Edna!!! this is what really has me worried! Ahhh!!! But I have time, so I'm working on it now, lol.

I added a poll for you.. I love the last one.

Quote: Originally Posted by JaimeLynne Have you guys looked into this any further? Do you think you will hire them as an outside WC or just stick with Marco? I think I'll stick with Marco. I can't justify the $2000. I've found so many vendors myself that I think we can handle it. I mean, I already booked our band, photog, location. We've been in contact with the Church, I have vendor contacts for the beach lounge, all I need are flowers, lol! And Ann posted the florist she used and I loved her flowers. Plus my cousin in Mexico is helping me out with this too. So, I decided to email prisar and said thanks, but no thanks.

I've been hearing about this on the radio, its insane! I cannot belive people continue to have this mentality.

I stayed at La Jolla years ago. Benifits- nice pool, private beach, all suites, vera affordable IMO; Negatives- really far from downtown PV and I've read that the beach (sand) has washed up and there really is none left at all.

Jilly, everything looks so cute!! I can't wait to see you're wedding set-up.

Quote: Originally Posted by JaimeLynne I think when I contacted them they said they had done work at the Mayan. It's been awhile tho so I could be wrong... Odd, when I contacted them they specifically said that they only worked with these resorts. Thats why I ended up choosing Dreams first. When I realized that I couldn't afford the DD, we found the Mayan, and switched resorts.

Quote: Originally Posted by JaimeLynne I understand that she could be trying to drum up business. Sorry you had such a bad experience with her! Honestly tho if I am going to be hiring somebody I want them to sell themselves to me. She did a pretty good job of that. Plus other people seem to be having or have had good experiences with her. I would really like to see a wedding that Marco has done on his own. I'm assuming you're using him alone as your WC? Can't wait to see your pictures! I felt the same, I actually emailed him last night and asked him to send me pics of weddings he has not done. I need a comparison. I dont think I'm getting Prisar, I really think I can use the 2K and use it elsewhere. I think your buying "peace of mind" for hiring an outside WC, however, I look back at weddings I've attended locally and NONE have used outside WC so I figure we don't really need it. Quote: Originally Posted by alrager I got to let you know that Priscilla is all about keeping her job which I totally understand. Everything is all about making money.

I understand why others have planners. She wrote the most unprofessional email I have ever heard...I don't know how she got my email and why she felt to write it. Beware...don't believe everything you hear. Sorry...I am still a little upset that she sent me that email because I felt like this forum and the other forum I was on was for brides only and NOT VENDORS. amy Amy, thank you so much for your honesty. I remember reading your post on the other forum and always wondered who sent you the email.

OMG! I've been there, lol! Fun times! I remember the club having a bus that picked us up from the hotel, but I have no clue how much it would be... what if you try contacting the club?

beautiful!!!!

FYI- when I contacted Kristen at the DD, they only did weddings at 2 resorts - Dreams and Villa del Palmar Flamingos (i believe). the rest are private villas or Terra Noble.
