Thanks for sharing!!

I did both... My friend here where we live took me out for my Bachelorette party. A few weeks later my close friends from my hometown, who are also coming to the wedding, wanted to throw a Bachlorette party for me. Because they are all in relationships and their BF's all get along with Aaron really well, they threw a couple's party for us and we had a great time!! We started out by having dinner at Cheeseburger In Paradise. From there we went to a comedy club and then went out to a few bars afterwards.

Hooray, I can't wait! Will anyone else be at DT around May 13? We are getting married at DT on May 10th and will be there through the 14th.

We have been booked for over a year now with plans from the beginning of having our reception here and we JUST found this out ourselves, less than 2 months before our wedding. According to Sandra, it was a recent decision by the management due to an increase in the number of complaints of people who were dining at the El Patio and were distracted by the music of the wedding receptions held nearby. Quote: Originally Posted by neen I think you're allowed to have music as long as you rent out the whole restuarant for the $750 fee. As Amy was saying, they don't allow music if there are other diners inside the restuarant because it disturbs them, but if its closed down for your event, you should be able to whatever you want in terms of music. I am pretty sure that because Dreams is building the new ballrooms/convention center that they will start doing away with reserving of the restaurants for wedding receptions. This is another complaint that Sandra mentioned because people were not able to visit these restaurants because they were constantly being closed because of receptions. Quote: Originally Posted by niels408 Has anyone been able to obtain pics or details on the new "convention center/ballroom"? I am not sure where to have or where we are able to have our reception yet (were having @ 70 ppl) and want music and stuff for sure!!! Also where are most of you having your welcome dinners at DT? I will be able to take some pics of the ballroom/convention center when I am there in May for you.

I'm sure it'll all work out, I'm not going to worried about it. I didn't see the wedding gazebo on the Dreams Tulum Resort Map...can anyone tell me what its closest to so I can get an idea? TIA! We were planning on having our reception at El Patio and renting speakers but they no longer allow you to have music for your receptions at El Patio!! I guess too many people eating there for dinner were complaining from the music from wedding receptions.

Tracy (Debla1) is getting married the same day as Aaron and I, May 10th.

I also have an ivory one with pearls on it for sale. I bought this one on sale when I bought my dress and found another I liked better. I would be willing to sell this one for $20 + shipping. PM me if you would like more info or pics.

I subscribed to Napster. I just have the Napster-To-Go version, which allows me to load music onto my mp3 player but I think they have a plan where you can burn the tracks onto a CD. My plan is $14.99 a month for unlimited music. I found this to be more reasonable than iTunes. Good luck!!

very cute!

This is great news! I had no idea Michael's accepted JoAnn's coupons! I am like you Morgan, I always forget to go get the Sunday paper, and half of the times I do, there isn't even a Michael's ad in there. Thanks!!

Great idea!! Thanks for sharing!

I actually bought one of these for each of my BM's in pink. We already have our OOT bags for the rest of our guests but I thought that these were nice for the BM's because they are a bit roomier. Thanks for posting!

Does anyone have a coupon code for the $10 off of any purchase from Victoria's Secret that expires today? I got one when my order arrived and I can not find it!!

There are templates all over the forum... use the search function and you will find them all!

Ahhh, it's the last day of Feb and I can not find my $10 off coupon! GRRRRRRRR!!!

Yea, from what I heard, he does decent work. Not really sure why his website sucks so much... oh well! We tossed around which wedding package we were going to get and because we are doing a reception afterwards with dinner and everything, we decided on the Ultimate package.

I have been trying to get in touch (through my photographer) with the videographer that did the Lambert's wedding, but no luck yet. She also recommended someone else but was way out of my price range. TIA We are purchasing the Ultimate wedding package which includes the videography.

Here is a picture of Lisa G's aisle, I hope she doesn't mind that I am posting it. We are planning to do something very similar with our aisle.

Can you post a pic Kate? Thanks in advance!!

I figure this is the case as well. There would be no way they could not be on property on the weekends, they have been there for all of our former Dreams Tulum bride's weekend weddings. Due to the weekends being much busier with 2-3 weddings a day, the majority of their time is spent setting up and taking down everything for the weddings. Sandra just emailed me 2 or 3 times in the past few days but I had a lot of questions regarding what I would need to purchase and bring with me for our May wedding. I have noticed a great increase in the amount of emails she sends now that our date is getting closer. As lisa suggested, try not to freak out and start making a list of all of your questions and send them as your day gets a bit closer. She will go through and answer each and every one of your questions. Good luck!
