Remember Dreams charges per hour of service beyond the alloted time they give you for the reception. They gave me a 3 hour slot for the reception, so we have thought about adding an hour then going somewhere else.

This site had nice stock and they tell you which mat goes with which pocket fold etc. I ordered samples from them. PocketFolders I am actually working with an invitation designer and she will use "Envelopments".

We will be having bachelor/bachelorette outing together two nights before the wedding. Probably start down at Coco Bongo or some place like that and then to Azucar next door to Dreams.

FI thought I was nuts! So the lesson here is make sure you check the dimensions of your shell prior to ordering it. I have no idea what I'm going to do with this giant shell thing now. Ummm... gather stones from the beach, or buy marbles, arrange them on the enormous shell... then have people pick up one each and place in a vase or something like that. We did something like that at our graduation from university and it unified everyone. It was very cool. Don't have any other ideas right now...

I am going to have a friend already in Mexico bring them to the wedding. I do not know how much they are without the markup, or if you could find them easily yourself once you get to your destination.

Hi Laurie! I get married there on Feb 2nd! Maybe I will see you there! I am having the Ultimate package, no dj, think we will take care of that ourselves. We will have between 40-50 as well. You can do a search on here for Dreams Cancun and see a loooong thread we have been adding things to all the time. Let me know if you have any other Dreams questions!

Welcome! Look through several of the sub categories on this forum for the locations in the Caribbean... then you will see threads that have locations/ resorts added. Our host gathered a lot of info and placed it together. I took some of that and then looked on tripadvisor.com to look at the 'candid travel photos' of each resort that we liked. Do some searches on the forum for specifics and we are here to help. Happy planning!

I'll figure it out with them. The contract is not really signed yet... work in progress until you pretty much get there. I tried to put down a deposit, but the routing number she gave me didn't match the location she gave me... so it took a while for her to respond and send me a new address. I am going today to send the deposit. So I don't know how much pull that will give me.

Interesting... I have never seen that and I am a 2008 bride. Those are not the prices I have on my contract. I have the 2007 pricing. I hope they honor it for the Ultimate package, since they never sent me the new pricing. I am using the Ultimate package as I pieced it out (with old pricing) and it was a better deal for us.

Dear self: Learn to keep those sarcastic, cynical comments at work just inside my little head. Oh... and stop hitting the snooze button 4 times each and every morning!

Yaaaaay! You are back! Congrats to Monica! Sounds like an excellent time and those are great pictures too! Look forward to her formal review
