I liked them tooo... my conflict was that when I put them on the mat/mount thingy, it just blended together. I had the backing pink and orange, so it just blended in with the lines at the top and bottom. The new ones have a slight damask floral like design on them that I was originally going for but had a hard time finding an image that I liked. I finally found a super high quality file for like $3-4 so I knew I had to get it! I am going to go get the last things I need and finish them up tonight and post pics!

So my procrastinating self just got cracking!!! I printed out and put together most of my invites this weekend and they are COMPLETELY different than what I started with... i love them soooo much and can't wait til they are done and I can post them for all to see!

RBB--- are you just doing a symbolic ceremony? If so there shouldn't be any issues with your ceremony since it will probably be Jacy or Natalia reading it anyways. Another plus to the Ultimate package is those spa treatments it includes. Here are the prices for the entertainment on the Dreams website. I didnt check if it was the same on the guide thingy... Music: * DJ……………………………… usd $150.00 per/hr * Live Music Band……………… usd $500.00 * Caribbean Trio………………… usd $350.00 * Guitarist……………………… usd $250.00 * Violinist……………………… usd $350.00 * Mariachi Band………………… usd $500.00 This is in the guide... Music **(Prices plus 10% tax) Sound System equipment---150 Dj services (per hour)---150 Live Music Band (45 minutes)---700 Caribbean Trio (45 minutes)---450 Guitarist (45 minutes)---300 Violinist (45 minutes)---450 Mariachi band (45 minutes)---700 ***These prices are per one set of 45 minutes *All the prices are subject to change without previous notice I'm assuming the Mexican Trio is the Caribbean Trio??

It looks like they don't want to quote a flat rate, she wanted to know which menu I wanted to chose from and which entrees I wanted to offer. So I told her the silver menu and that I wanted to offer the chicken and the steak entrees so she is going to let me know based on that. I finally nailed down a photographer, I am bringing a wonderful photographer from Texas. Jacy confirmed that as long as she is booked as a guest there will be nothing else required. I just have to find out if the Mexican government requires anything. And...I also got it in writing that since I have my own photographer, they will supply videography for me in place of the photography offered in the package. So...all good news. I am just waiting for the specific cost of the meals and I asked her to send me a picture of the beach reception area. I'll keep you all posted. I am doing the Silver menu with the beef and chicken also... I need to get back to Jacy about that! I already booked my photographer and I believe the Ultimate package comes with a videographer. It would be great if they could give me more with with the videographer since I won't be using the resort photographer or maybe I will use the resort photographer for the welcome dinner or something. Maybe I will just do the Dreams of Love (middle package?) instead... I do want that Mexican Trio tho!!!

FI has a kindle and he loves it. His only complaint is that when you read stuff off of a memory card the battery dies quickly, but when he reads stuff saved on the Kindle, his battery lasts a long time!

Does anyone know a ball park figure for a seven night all inclusive vacation at Puerto Aventuras?? Thanks!!! It really depends on the time of year. We are paying about $2000 for 7 nights in the honeymoon suite in May 2009.

She posted about them in this post... http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...79-4#post66357 Sounds like she got them from the same place as AnnR, Hair Flower Boutique: Hair Flowers - Silk Flower Hair Clips By Late Bloomer Studio

I think Morgan had a brochure she made that had some brief information about her guests or maybe it was just they arrival/departure dates...

I printed them at work. I used text weight paper tho... Our copiers will not take the cardstock. The text weight is like the thickness of regular scrapbooking card stock. The hardest part is really the designing. You can change it so many times on your computer. Its hard to just be happy with it and go print! You can always make it better. The pockets were a little difficult since I just the super thick cardstock... thats about it.

My niece asked about the chair covers and bows and she said she didn't know if the chair covers would fit the chairs at the reception but was looking into Maybe if the reception is at a restaurant the covers wouldn't fit, given that they already have chairs in there. I would think that if the reception is on the beach then they would use chairs similar to the ones used in the gazebo.

Here are mine... http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t22233 I kept mine simple. I let people know that it was happening and I didnt expect everyone would go... It had the date and location and that was about it. and our website address along with our contact info...

So Jacy said she is working with the F&B (Food & Beverage?) manager to be me the cost of offering the additional entree to my guests... I will let you guys know when I hear back from her.

That sounds like something I need!!!

I love Burgues Script!!! I am using it on our invites, but I love the way your names look! I didnt use and of the really scrolly letters... but I might go back and change that!

Some of us have noticed that! I thought I could just go into my User CP and fix it, but all the information is correct in there. I'm sure it will be fixed eventually.

Your day is almost here!!! Congrats!

I used to work at Circuit City and I HATED selling the warranties!!! One of the reasons they moved me off the salesfloor... Unless its one of the "accident" warranty that basically cover anything and everything... I wouldn't bother. How often does something happen to your electronics in the first couple of years? If something does, its going to be in the first year or so and that will be covered by the manufacturer. Also, you can buy the warranty up until the return period is over, so don't let a salesperson talk you into it. Go home, think about it and go back to the store if you want it. If they have an accidental protection plan on the IPOD... I would get it... bc my IPOD would probably take a hard drop when a new one came out...

Thanks for the heads up!

The outlet mall near us opens at midnight! On our drive to it last year, it was literally the worst traffic I have EVER seen! It was worse then when Obama came here and a bad accident during rush hour combined... Craziness! We have learned that you gotta get there early!

I like Shoes & Handbags - Free Overnight Shipping & Return Shipping: Endless.com. Most shoes have free overnight shipping!

I havent made mine yet... but I was going to suggest the glue dots also!

When are you leaving? We arrive on May 20 and leave on May 27. Our wedding is May 23.

The files are 300 DPI. I'll see how the RGB ones go...

I'm using Brioso and Burgues Script. They aren't free fonts from dafont or something, so I don't think they are the problem. They both printed in the colored dots that make up the black. This is my first time using them. I plan on using the self service copiers. I just want my invites printed on a laser printer/copier and I already bought my paper for it which is too thick to print at home. I'm just going to make an RGB version and see if that fixes it.
