Great job! I love the colors.

There's lots of info here to help with your research in picking a resort.

I voted for #1, first because they are really cute, and second because I like that they are the kind you can hook over your shoulders and carry on your back. We use that kind all the time when we're traveling.

The going rate for a piano player in Missouri to play for receptions is $50 per hour. We're having one at Mandy's reception. Good idea, Maura, to call the music schools.

Have fun planning!

We'll be down there for a week startig May 16. I'll try to take a picture of it and check it out for you. It's not listed on the map, so I'll ask where it's located.

We do the same thing! Every single item we purchase is charged to our AA mastercard. We pay it off every month and have used miles for trips to St. Croix, Puerta Vallarta and Cancun. Pretty sweet!

Thanks, girls. You confirmed what my husband thought. We were getting ready to buy the votives when he said we'd better check with the forum girls to see if they had any issues with their candles not staying lit. (Smart guy!)

Good luck with all the decisions!

Wow Heather! You look beautiful and your pictures are amazing! No wonder you don't want to stop looking at them! I love your menu cards - did you make them yourself? If so, do you have a template you'd like to share?

Beautiful stuff, Stephanie! Can't wait to see more from the wedding. Your ceremony site is gorgeous.

You'll find quite a few guys on here, and we love getting their perspective. You have a lucky bride!

Welcome and congratulations! Your guests will have a blast on the cruise.

Lots of girls have done the brochure/newsletter to send out before everyone left. Check out ones from Morgan, Lauren, tlseege, and Ryan for starters. There are lots posted so you'll get some great ideas.

The forum will make it easy for you to plan your wedding for any size group. You can get lots of helpful advice and tips - just ask!

and Congratulations on your engagement! You'll find lots of ideas to help with your planning.

Have you picked your resort yet? You'll find lots of helpful info here on the forum.

Heather, thanks for the post and great information. Did the resort also have menus printed for your dinner? I was told they would print our specific menu. What type of spa treatments did you have and would you highly recommend any particular ones? We are anxious to see pictures of your big day.

Have fun planning!

Give your mom a big hug. Those will definitely be keepsakes for your guests.

Shannon, I'm sure that is correct. You can get the wine list from the edr website. On tripadvisor, most people say the wine is very expensive and not very good.

The reception will be at Tucanes. I've never been anywhere in the Caribbean that the wind hasn't always blown alot, but I do think March is especially windy.

I just thought of a few more to check: vayama.com and Aeromexico. ***I just checked on vayama and put in the dates of Nov 14 - 21 and the price is $388 from Houston to Cancun on Aeromexico. This includes all taxes and fees.
