We are in the same boat. Almost everybody (save 4 people) is going down on the same plane, so Jason and I are meeting them at the check-in at the airport and handing them out then. Most airlines allow two carry ons, so they will be fine~ We did towels too, so we sure didn't want to lug them all down with us!!!

Such a great deal, and it looks like the dress was made specifically for you! I know what you mean about not taking it off... I had to leave my dress at my mom's so I wouldn't wear it out before the wedding! Congrats, I know how exciting that is. I fluked out with mine too. Cheers!

Thanks Vanessa! 111 days to go for me... I can't wait!!! Your pics made me EVEN more excited; didn't think that was possible. Congratulations! xo

Thanks for putting that together! Great idea to leave info with the sitters too... love the magnet idea.

Hi Holley, I'm in Edmonton too; and I'm getting married at LC next year (May 6!!!). Cool! Its looking like we'll have around 50 guests and we're all staying at the Melia in the marina. The beach there is gross, so it isn't the choice for you. As mentioned, South and North (Nuevo), the beaches are much nicer, so you should stick with those. We are staying in the marina to be close to family, but I have to say its a little too bad... I would have chosen to stay south for sure (Dreams looks amazing!). We did the delux package too; booked a long time ago, so not sure how that translates to the new stuff... the price sounds about the same as the one you were asking about. My bridesmaid, my mom and I are going over in the morning to kick back and the rest of the guests are coming over on the boat. I wasn't going to do that, but after reading all of the advice on this AMAZING forum, I am 100% in (THANKS GIRLS!). J and I are doing our site visit on Jan 2, and that will be our second time there together (my fourth time. I love it there.) I have to say I am not the least bit concerned about anything anything anything. We have been in touch with Nicole and between her and the ladies on this site, I have no concerns what-so-ever. I always joke that I have two wedding planners: BDW and Nicole. Happy planning! Nancy

We have done EVERYTHING via the internet... we sent out STD's with a link to our website (we used Wedquarters, we love it~), and a couple months later we sent out our invites via email as well (also linked to site). I wondered about this being a faux-pas, but our guests have responded very favourably. We printed out the entire site and had it bound for an aunt and our grandmas, who don't have email. We just keep them posted with updates by phone. We password protected the RSVP page of the website and put the password on the invitation. Both the STDs and the invitations are simple word docs... we wanted to make sure everyone would be able to open them. Jason did some fancy stuff on his computer and sent it to me, but since I didn't have the programs, I couldn't open the attachment. We have lots of family out in rural areas who are still on dial-up, so we didn't want this to be an issue (*we tried downloading some fancy fonts, but they didn't open either*). We just put text on top of meaningful pictures using paint, and they worked out beautifully! We decided since we are having a DW that we could push the envelope a little, and it has worked out really well. Total cost for STDs and Invites: $0.00!!!! Let me know what questions you have, Nancy

Trisha, I am sending you warm hugs and support from up North. You are in a very difficult position. Please remember you are not alone. When I was in your position I kept everything inside and just about lost my mind. Your body is doing crazy things to you, never mind the thoughts you are having to process. Let our cyber hugs keep you warm and connected, and don't forget to keep your darling FI in the loop. Thinking of you in your difficult time, xoxoxoxoxo Nancy

Welcome aboard, You have some big decisions to make... but you have help now! I can't tell you how helpful this forum has been to me. I'm getting married in Mexico in May. Have a look at the threads to do with Las Caletas, it would suit your budget and it is affordable for guests to get to Puerto Vallarta, especially from the States. As soon as you choose your spot and book the date, it pretty much just takes off from there. Happy planning, and remember, we're here! Nancy

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!! 161 days to go. Brilliantly written review of a brilliant day. I don't have a single doubt or ounce of anxiety about my LC wedding~what a lovely feeling! Congratulations to you both, and thanks again for sharing. I am jumping right out of my skin! Cheers again, Nancy

Oooooh, it's already there! Missed that page... Thanks! Off to read now~

Oh My God Brooke and Gen, I've been watching the site like a HAWK for your pics. They are fabulous! Another magical LC wedding... Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to read the review when you have time to write it. Cheers, Nancy

Darnit darnit darnit! I can't imagine how disappointed you must be. I'm sure that was a difficult decision to come to terms with, but think how perfect your wedding will be when the time is right. Big hugs your way. Try to remember that your reasons for postponing were good ones, and be relieved that you have made your decision. xo Nancy

Maui'd... I love it!!! Hahahaha!!! Welcome aboard BB5!
