I would send an email out or phone call and tell people they need to let you know within the next two days if they are coming or not. Tell them if they don't inform you by the given date, you will not be purchasing a dinner for them (or if you have an included dinner, just tell them you will be assuming they will not make it and you will miss them) I would be completely blunt with it, especially at this point.

2009 : half way through

I dont think you are being psycho at all. I would not be impressed if that was happening with my FI. I probably would have made him change physiotherapist, especially after being disrespectful by making me wait 45 minutes!! I mean at first, I guess it's not right to make him switch just cuz of your jealousy, but by "chatting" with the girl for that long, that is being disrespectful. I think it is definitely important that you two talk about this, and don't be scared to tell him how you feel!

That's very exciting! It's gorgeous

A week after I said I wanted to book her, the wedding coordinator emailed me and said I had to pay the $500. This was the wedding coordinators email to me: "Hi Megan, Claudia is no longer approved at the resort. We will allow her to come to our resort for your wedding; however there will be a $500.00 outside fee applied to your wedding. The reason she is no longer approved does not have anything to do with her quality or performance. Her photos are beautiful and I am sure you will be extremely happy with her. Please let me know if you have any questions." I put up a HUGE fight with the wedding coordinators and went to my TA as well. My travel agent, The Wedding Holiday, were amazing and spoke to the manager of the weddings and got the $500 fee waved for me. My impression though is that she is still allowed on the resort, you just have to pay Azul that extra $500....maybe I am wrong though.

Beach – Plaza Zavaz – Polapa Yoga – Zocallo Cocktial Terrace – Plaza Zocallo – Pool Deck – Zavaz Cocktail Terrace - The options above are for a private reception where you will have to pay for everyone. If you would like to just use the dinner reservation that is included in your package, you can however, this will not be a private event. This dinner will be at the Spoon Restaurant which is the only restaurant that we have for this reservation. (see spoon restaurant pic from the site...haven't learnt how to attach!) Behind the curtain is a private area, the on site team tries to offer this to wedding couples. However, it is not always available to give. Please keep in mind that if you do have this private area, you will not be able to have your own music or lighting. If having a first dance together or the other customary dances, you must have a private reception and pay for each guest." I'm confused....I thought we would be able to eat (for free) in the spoon restaurant for food and speeches etc, and then have our reception/party in one of the areas....have I clearly got that wrong does that mean if I want to guarentee (sp) that we have some sort of area that we have to pay for everyone to eat again? if we are forced to fork out those prices I think I'm going to cry ( we are having a big reception when we get back and thats already costing us an arm and a leg - there's no way we can afford to do both. K. My understanding is that if you choose to have your dinner at the Spoons, you are guaranteed enough space for your guests (as long as you have no more than 40), but you might not get the part of the Spoons that is closed off with the curtain. Have you taken a look at the menu options for a private event? You can get really cheap menu options as low as $11 per person.

speakers : sound

I sent out my save the dates (but mine had booking info on them). If your STDs didn't have booking info, I would send out an email with booking info. Then when you send out your STDs, you could put your booking info on them again, or just send another email out along with your save the dates. I would not put anything about your AHR on the invitations. I think if you did that, people would be less likely to go to your wedding, because they might think " we could just save money and go to the AHR instead of going to the wedding". I think it is best to do a separate invite for your AHR.

drive : fast

We then looked at elizabeath medina who has excellent work, unfortunatley she proved to be too expensive for us. At the moment we have enquired about the services of Cecilia Dumas, but are awaiting a reply from the hotel. How are your plans going !!! Claudia is allowed to photograph at Azul, you just have to pay Azul a $500 fee.

beautiful : babies

I like the neckline of dess #1 on you better than the other 2

That's very frustrating to have people say they will come and then back out. Keep remembering that it is most important that you and your FI are getting married, you two being there is the most important. You will have the people who really truly care about you at your wedding and that is the most important.

Thanks for voting...although its pretty much tied! LOL We might just flip a coin, or I'll give that decision to my FI
