They have a lot of cute stuff on that site. I like the "My Maids and Me" frame. Thanks for the link!

Those invites are adorable!

Nope!!! It's at my aunt's house now. I will travel with it in a white bag and then keep it in my mom's hotel room at the resort.

Kelly, I'm thinking of you today...

How many can we nominate? 2 for each category? Because there are definitely more I'd like to add!!!

Ok, I found one similar on this site, but oddly enough it doesn't list the price or product info, just the picture. I guess you could try emailing them... Darling Daisy Cake Toppers

Erica, you look GORGEOUS...I LOVE it!

to the forum, Talia! Happy planning!!!

Wow, they're gorgeous! I agree that the ring would look best by itself, or if you do want an anniversary band, it should be a very simple one. Let us know what you end up getting!

Looks like it was a great time! I love the host's gifts that you got, they're so nice.

That's so great! I can't believe you found it your first time out. I love it, it's so beautiful, can't wait to see pics of you wearing it!!!

They look great!!!!

Private receptions are held at the Plantation Restaurant and the extra cost is $500 USD for 2 hours (dinning & dancing) or $1,000 USD for 4 hours of dining & dancing. (The DJ is included) This includes the standard buffet menu. If you'd like an open bar its $10.00 for p/p for an open bar. Otherwise only white or red wine is served. There is a standard menu & there are other menu's available at additional costs. Hope this helps you! She told mea few months ago that the dj is $150 per hour for the Plantation. I wonder if this has changed, that would be great if it is free now!

Let me know! Kind regards Michael Ummm..... I'm confused!! Do I have to book or will he just appear anyway? I dont really want to have him charge my credit card already! And he doesnt mention WHAT the credit card charge amount would be? Anyone else have any insight into this? I emailed him back asking what the amount of the charge would be and have received no response... been a couple of weeks now... I emailed him a few months ago and he said I didn't have to do anything prior to my arrival at the resort. After we get there, then we go meet with him and figure it all out. I wouldn't give him your credit card info now, I think you'll be fine if you wait til you get there.

Hmmm...this is a tough one... BTB: PaulaV - she is always giving great advice and always starts threads for peoples birthdays, weddings, etc. Mrs.: Christa - she cracks me up, she's always funny even if she's going through a lot with her son/DH/job/etc.

I just sent Chandlyn a email about it, but I am not paying extra to him and I am not going to have him threaten my cousin, and I am not going to have to tell anyone off while on my wedding/honeymoon/vacation. I "might" have him do the video, but I really don’t like how he responded to you guys. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction for the arches. Do you know if you can bring your own decorations? It seems like Michael is a huge pain in the a**. I'm sure all of the brides that are going before us will report back to how he acted. Don't start worrying too much til we hear more. Let me know what Chandlyn says about it though. Yes, we can bring our own decorations. I'm bringing stuff for centerpieces (candles and frames) and some other stuff. I would love to bring everything, but keep reminding myself I have to get it all down there!

We are going in May 2008. This is from the email my TA sent me. Note: all of these prices include $465 for airfare. 7 NIGHTS 5 NIGHTS 4 NIGHTS 3 NIGHTS SINGLE $2,081 $1,625 $1,405 $1181 DOUBLE $1,430 $1,165 $1,033 $882 TRIPLE $1,388 $1,135 $1,009 $902 CHILD $970 $825 $768 $702

They are in this thread, look at pages 3 and 4: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...apher-riu.html

Have a wonderful day! Can't wait to hear all about it

Happy Birthday

Get the BDW team on it! I love the bright colors. Those are pretty much the colors I was going to let my girls chose from. Then when you decorate you can use anything you want. Anything bright will work. I think that is such a great idea...the black tops and the skirts!!! Love it!

Beautiful! I can tell by your smile that it's "the one"...congrats!!!!

to the forum! Happy planning!!!
