Ok I sure wanted to last night! So we were driving to the mall to go register at Macy's...we are just chit chatting away talking about a couple of his friends who are also getting married later this year. then he tells me "yeah so the 3 of us guys getting married this year were just thinking about having a combined bachelor party, maybe in Vegas." So I am thinking...ok...that is actually better right because then there won't be 3 bachelor parties he will be attending this year...then he goes on...."yeah I think we might have it in July." WHAT?! JULY?! I proceed to tell him that he CANNOT have his bachelor party in July...we are getting married in APRIL! he won't even be a bachelor anymore come July. I had to take a couple of deep breaths on that one...then he tells me "well it is not fair to make so and so (his other friends getting married in August) have their bachelor party in March!" This is how I felt ---> I again replied with the fact that it is not fair to him/us to have his bachelor party AFTER we are married! So needless to say...I think there may be a couple bachelor parties this year because there is no way in HECK that he can have his in JULY! Seriously I sometimes just wonder what he is thinking! Ok, thanks for letting me vent a bit....I just need to tell someone

Hi! Welcome...I think you will the find the Las Caletas brides are a bit biased because the place is just so darn beautiful! I know there are a lot of pages to this thread but maybe try using the search function on it. I think almost everything has been talked about at one point or another. Also here are the links to a few recent Las Caletas reviews. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t32724 http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t31890 http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t31038 I tried to answer some of your questions below... Quote: Originally Posted by lani76 Hi - I'm planning to have my wedding in PV sometime in November this year and am seriously considering Las Caletas, as the packages that they offer seem very affordable. Ideally, I'd like to visit LC before I book anything but that may not be possible if I want to send my Save the Date cards out soon. Can anyone tell me if there was anything about the place that they disliked, however minor it was? Honestly no...the only thing for me that I am a bit concerned about is my grandma getting to the beach where the wedding will be located. I visited LC in December and it was bit rocky but I think if my grandma just takes her time she will be fine. Also Nicole (one of the coordinators there) told me that they do have an all terrain wheelchair if we wanted to request that for my grandma.Do you know how much the fee is for the boat ride to LC for my guests? I'd like to work the fee into my budget so that my guests won't have to shell out more than they have to for my wedding. the cost of the boat ride is all included in whichever package you choose. Also, I've tried sending a couple of inquiries through the Adventure Weddings site last Wednesday or Thursday but I haven't heard back. I haven't tried calling them yet but do they usually take a few days to respond? Just making sure that they weren't having site or email problems...they are busy I am sure...give it a few more days, they will get back in touch with you. I just looked at the wedding calendar and it looks like right now they have had 5 or 6 weddings in a row this week! Adventure Weddings in Puerto Vallarta - Wedding Calendar And my final question (for now), has anyone had a wedding at a church in PV and then just had the reception at Las Caletas? It sounds like it would be a difficult thing to time because of the boat ride over. I haven't heard of anyone else do this. I dont know why you couldn't though. I am sure that can be arranged. I know the answers to some of my questions may be hidden somewhere in this thread but this thread is pretty massive! Appreciate any help and tips for LC that you can give. Thanks!

msn says that the plane hit a flock of geese....wow...who would have thought that a flock of geese could bring down an airbus.

Wow Jamie, everything looks good! How did you make your DIY undies if you don't mind me asking...they came out really good! Have fun on the cruise!

I've never been to a DW either (nor had mine yet) but I am already "hinting" at my unmarried friends about having one just so i can be a guest...hee hee hee..one of Reggie's friends just got engaged and the first thing I asked him was if they were going to have DW!

I really like the slumber party idea! My other idea was a Karaoke or piano bar. there is a bar in Denver called Sing Sing...I think it is super fun...it is kind of like a dueling piano karaoke show type thing and they call people on stage and you sing and stuff. Anyway, I have been there once and it was so fun, my FI hates it! So I was thinking of getting a group together to go there for a few drinks!

Hi everyone...I am pretty sure these are the bags for sale (target had them back in May I think?) anyway...these bags are great I have them too...if you go to the second page of this thread there are pics.. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t21311-2

Quote: Originally Posted by tvt My mom said the exact same thing. Everyone wants a redo! Now, if someone can just invite me to their wedding! you can come to mine!!! how does April sound? Quote: Originally Posted by AnnR I would kill to live my wedding day again ... and not be sick! Oh how I wish I had felt better. But it was still amazing! that really is too bad you were sick Ann! Your pictures are amazing though!! I have to admit, when I was trying to decide on LC I watched your slideshow numerous times!

I second Gracious Bridal Wedding Favors, Personalized Gifts, Bridal Shower Favors and cardandpockets.com From Gracious Bridal I ordered the "will you be my flower girl cookie" and it was really cute! From Cards and Pockets I ordered my pocketfold invites...these were great too! Plus you can order samples first so you know what the color looks like!

FUN! I like them all! Keep them coming!

So I was just working on my master song list and thought it might be fun to have a "girlie" fun song list to have when I am getting ready (or more of a list to put all of the fun wedding songs that I can't play during the reception because my FI would kill me ) I am thinking like more fun songs to sing to while I am getting ready! So here is what I have come up with so far... Wishing and Hoping - My Best Friends Wedding Soundtrack Ladies Night - Kool & the Gang Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Marvin Gaye I say a little prayer for you - My Best Friend's wedding soundtrack ok so not many but I literally just started! I am thinking of a couple gwen stefani, britney spears, pussycat dolls, Fergie type songs... any suggestions?

so pretty! I like the one peeking out of the water too! also your pics at the malecon are really awesome also!

She booked right away and also got the word out to everyone else...I think they paid $325..which is a great deal! As I know 10 more people booked their flights today! Yay! SO exciting! wow so cool! maybe I am the only one, but now that people are actively booking doesn't it feel so much more REAL!?

Quote: Originally Posted by AnnR We got the red light, but it ended up being no big deal. We just explained it was for our wedding and they were gifts for our guests. They looked at teh stuff and sent us on our way. well that is a relief...I read somewhere once (maybe on here I can't remember) that you should try to pack your receipts for all of your stuff or something? has anyone heard that? Quote: Originally Posted by Yari I did have a few things in my luggage, but they asked if it was for a wedding and I of course said yes, and they let me go without a problem. Good to know! BUT UM.....I can't help but notice that new ticker on your siggy Yari! congrats!

Quote: Originally Posted by Kat81 YAY! That is sooooo exciting! I remember how excited I was when people booked. You are going to have so freakin' much fun! I know! I already am so freakin excited! Quote: Originally Posted by missdanelle Andi that is great news! Good for you! These flights are out of Denver i take it? Hmmm...wonder if they are similar on my date flying into Cancun. Most of my guests will be flying out of Denver too. Thats great news though! Congrats! Yep out of Denver. Frontier actually....I have been watching fares for the past 6 months at least and now they are the LOWEST they have ever been! the sale ends today though!

I am so excited I just had to share my news with someone...so of course I come here to tell you all! we just had 7 guests book their flights today! (which doubles our confirmed list) that includes 2 of my friends and my aunt and grandma! The airline that the booked on had a sale that ends today so everyone jumped on the deal! they all got their tickets for $378 each - roundtrip - nonstop! ok, thanks for letting me share my excitement!

Quote: Originally Posted by Duchess Ladies - I would advise against shipping anything. I have heard that they are very careful about people bringing things into the country to sell.

I have heard that too... Did you (or anyone else) have any issues getting through the airport with all of your wedding stuff? did anyone get the "red light"?

AWESOME! Thanks for the heads up! I live 10 minutes away from the one in Westminster, CO...I hope there are some good deals!!!!!!!

wow they turned out great!

I have a tutu for my flower girl too! there are pics of it in this thread I posted awhile back http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t31224 i think the tutu is perfect for a DW!

Hi Danielle, not sure if anyone has gone with that package or not. Did you do a search on the main las caletas thread? http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t1775 there might be some more help there!

Guess I really need the strength training, haha. haha! it was HARD...and now that I moved to level 2, I have not been using the 10lbs!
