The best downtown PV map that I have been able to find was when we were on our site visit trip in PV! the conceirge at the hotel had the best little fold out map! So my plan is to ask them for about 15 of them when we get there and then I will just stick them in our OOT bags for everyone!

thanks everyone! I knew I wouldn't be the only one with these feelings! Quote: Originally Posted by tdmitchell Can you ask your TA to inform everyone that calls that the deadline has passed and they can't book any more?

I would just maybe tell them that if they plan to keep booking that they will not be included in any excursions unless they pay for themselves and that they wont get things like wedding favours since they are already bought. i wonder what people think the RSVP date is for since they never seem to follow it? lol All the brides that have been saying this has happened to them are making me think that when I make my invitations that I will write this is the RSVP deadline and if you decide to book after this date you will not be included in the special activities outside the wedding and won't be getting things like a welcome bag (but in less words lol) haha that is what I should tell them! they won't be getting a cool OOT bag! hee hee hee...I can easily change the numbers at the venue and welcome dinner but I may run out of the small things like travel sunscreen...well guess what the late bookers will just be SOL on that Quote: Originally Posted by DGG I totally understand.. Our wedding is a month after yours - we set our RSVP dates early (beginning of March) knowing people wouldn't stick to it that closely.. but now it's almost a month after the date and people are still not giving us definite answers.. I can change my numbers with the resort but I wanted to have that done by now and we are ordering OOT bag stuff and flip-flop favors and that order has to be in this weekend.. so even though, I'll probably be annoyed but give in like you, but I guess they just won't get favors.. yep...these people that booked today have been totally wishy-washy for the last couple of months...that is it...no favors for them...I already bought everything! Quote: Originally Posted by Tammy Host i had people rsvping up to 4 days before the WEDDING!! not even departure date...we had one guest get in his car and drive down to cabo. OMG! wow driving all the way to cabo last minute?! that is insane...have to admit though Tammy, thinking about people booking 4 days before...that totally made me laugh! And Abbie...getting RSVPs back AFTER the wedding?! seriously sometimes people make me wonder!

Ok so our wedding is 3 weeks away...our RSVP date for guests that we put on our invitations was January 15th and the booking deadline was February 15th... WE ARE STILL HAVING PEOPLE BOOK...TODAY!!!!!!!!! seriously I want to pull my hair out! we just had 4 more people book today! so it is not a huge deal, more of an inconvenience but now I have to add 4 on to everything! I hate to sound like a snot, and please don't get me wrong, we are very grateful to have so many people making the trip with us BUT SERIOUSLY 3 WEEKS BEFORE?! I mean there is a reason why I sent the STD's 10 months ahead of time and the actual invites 5 months ahead....UGH!!!!!!! I know that there has to be a couple of you that can sympathize with me?! I seriously just need to be on the beach right now drinking a margarita!

I was just looking for a cute white hoodie to buy online last night and was checking this same one out from old navy! Yours turned out great! Quick question for you though...did you buy pants too to match? or other bottoms?

I am so excited...here is mine! just came in the mail the other day! the cover says "for Reggie's eyes only" and the bind was suppose to say that too BUT i am a total moron and forgot the the 'e' on Reggie's name so it says "for Reggi's eyes only" UGH oh well I don't even think he will notice that minor detail!

woooo! happy happy wedding day!

I just wanted to chime in and say... IT IS FINALLY APRIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Wedding month everyone!!!!

these are awesome! I just got my playing cards in the mail the other day from OTC so i hope you don't mind me "borrowing" your idea!!!!!!

Hello, welcome! as far as getting married while in PV on a cruise, I haven't heard of anyone else doing that. for times on weddings, most weddings are around 5/6 because they don't do weddings until after the tourists on the day trip leave LC. that time is sort of in between the day trip crowd and the rhythms of the night show crowd. I think though it depends on the size of your wedding, Nicole (one of the coordinators there) told me that she has arranged a ceremony during the day, of course though it wasn't on the beach, because of the day trippers and was very small and intimate away from the tourists. I do know though that they recently started doing weddings on sundays, they might be more flexible for wedding times on that day because there is not a day trip. Long story short... check with Nicole and/or Kelly they of course will know better...I am sure they could work something out for you! Good luck!

Here is my confession for the weekend So we just got a STD in the mail for one of Reggie's friends, the wedding is in September in Vail, CO...I am sure it will be just lovely...BUT I confess that I can't help but compare every detail of everything to our wedding! hee hee hee...my final thought...ehhhh our stuff (STD, website, location, etc....) Is all so much better because we are having a DW on the beach! seriously nothing can be better than that right!? PS...this confession sort of goes along with this thread from yesterday! http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t39725

The time crunch is on ... why do I work so well under pressure?! wait...did you just get your dress!? I bet it was an awesome deal at Filene's!

ha ha I am glad I am not the only one who has thought this! DW wedding pictures are so much more exciting to look at!

Brittany welcome back!!!!! can't wait for the pics!

WHAT?! I didn't even know I was nominated! I owe a thanks to someone! I better go back and look at the nom thread! good luck to all!

And forgive the naive question, but which time zone are you in over there in CO? I'm central... just trying to sync up Yes, that would be awesome! What color is it? Exciting! haha...I am Mountain time zone...are you central? oh I don't have skype...I do have aim and facebook though! HEE HEE HEE! WAIT! you have been engaged for 2 years?! WOW!!!! and now down to 2 months that is so exciting!

I know guests are probably going to be using/needing fans the whole time we're there, and this would save us $$ and luggage space if we could just buy them each 1 fan. Don't know how many people would actually adhere to/remember to bring them along though.... Oh, and welcome matcek! Another Dallas bride getting married at LC! Yay hmmmm....how long will most of your guests be in PV BEFORE the wedding? if it is only a day or two then I would just have the fans at the wedding. My guess is that most guests will probably forget to bring them if you ask them to.

oh PS I forgot...for your something borrowed, if you want I am "borrowing" the starfish bouquet jewel that Tara used for her wedding. Nicole has been keeping it safe for me at LC since Tara last used it...If you want I can leave it at LC for you to use too!?

I hope that by this time next month you are even LESS stressed! well shoot I am all for the "internet" freakout but won't be home until after 7:30 tonight I have to go workout tonight...booooo!

Hang in there and as others have said...ask for help!!!! My FI for the most part just really has no opinion on the minor details, but I show him what I am doing and ask him for help if for example, he is just sitting on the couch being lazy....I just ask him to help me and be useful while he is relaxing he has helped but yeah...MEN ARE MEN...and don't forget if you need to vent that is why the BDW is here!!! Quote: Originally Posted by DarcyJAde Hang in there! Men are MEN! I was just going to ask any of you ladies if you have given your FI's tasks that they haven't followed through on. If so, how did you get them to do it? I have been asking my FI for 2 months to give me the address of some of his co-workers. ( I work there too and ended up asking HIS peers myself). There are still some addresses missing (they never got our STD's) and now I have my invitations. I guess they just won't be getting invites. I am sick of nagging. It's frustrating when I am the one doing all the planning and 1 or 2 things he can't even do!! I think this stress is just part of wedding planning, unfortunately. Hang in there, it will all be worth it soon enough. haha! I had this same problem with my FI giving me his friends addresses, I finally just told him "if you don't get me the addresses by X date then they won't be invited and you won't be able to come back and be mad about it because I have been asking for these addresses for months!". he finally got them to me the next day! hahaha! The only other thing that I completley left up to my FI was his attire...um yeah our wedding is one month away and we JUST ordered his suit last week because again he was being a slacker!!! on this too...I just let it not stress me out and told him if he didn't go to buy or order a suit he wouldn't have anything to wear!

so cute! Where did you find those at? i just looked on the coach website and didn't see them

very cute!
