I found this website today because I thought it was a great idea as well. I am unsure how they charge, but I've emailed them and will let you know as soon as I get a response.

Your pictures are amazing! Where is the photographer from?

I'd like to know this also...

Wow your slideshow is amazing! I'm actually looking into Juan Carlos for my wedding also! Seeing your slideshow was a huge help! Thank you for sharing!

That seems like a lot, but that's probably because it's to Puerto Rico. I'm getting married in Puerto Vallarta and my guests will be paying around $1300 for 7 nights all inclusive flying out of San Antonio. Like mentioned by other girls, this is YOUR wedding and those that really want to be there will be there no matter what they are paying!

You can find Farra at Grupo Farra... La mejor elección para su evento

Congrats Holly! I am getting married in Nuevo Vallarta but there are several beautiful places to have a destination wedding. What I did was look at the price of flights that the bulk of my guests would be taking that way I could plan around affordability for my guests. Since I'm in Texas, Mexico was the place to go for me. We looked into Aruba, but my guests would have to spend a night in a northern airport just to make it to Aruba. My advice is to research that first. I also didn't want my guests paying $1200 for a flight to Belize (which was my first choice). Anyway, that's how I went about choosing. Happy planning!

I agree, they have everything you want whether it be at the store or online. I think we might just stick with Macys for the bulk of our registry. We were so satisfied with the selection and the service. Not to mention our guest can find great deals there or bring in their coupons.

Welcome to the forum! Have fun with all the planning!!

Congrats Kathy! I also have a little over 5 months also! Good luck with everything! This site is amazing with all the information you can find!

Hey there! Well yesterday I started our gift registy yesterday. Adam and I stopped by Macy at the Houston Galleria. When we got there we had NO idea what to go for! We had no idea where to start, what we really needed, or anything! Luckily, Andy, a manager is the home department, saw our confused face and spent two hours explaining the different brands. He went so far as showing us the good, better, and best in every department. He told us when certain items went on sale, the lowest prices you could see for those items. He went through the departments and showed us the best items for the money spent. Just to say that Adam and I spent over 3 hours at Macys and we might have 4 items so far on our registry. We came out of there with eyes wide open! We had absolutely no idea we would be overloaded with information! We did lear A LOT during our visit at Macys and what brands would be in the practical price range for our guests. We both feel like we are already asking them to make the expense for the trip, we don't want to look like fools if we have a $600 dollar item on our registry just because we want the best Cephalon cooking pans. I know this is terribly long, but I just wanted to share my story about our experience. If you are in the Houston area, I would recommend you stop in and visit Andy. He was so knowledgeable and so helpful, I couldn't stop talking about him to my mom last night. I was amazed that there was someone there that knew everything about anything in that entire home department!!! After that experience, I think we will probably have most of our registry there since it seems like the best bargain for our guests as well as for us if we want to purchase the rest of our items on the registry after the wedding!

This information was great, I'm also in the process of hiring a photographer for my March wedding.

Welcome to the forum!

Oh those are too cute... except it'll be hard finding an open store after Ike...

Congrats and Welcome!

I'm getting married at Casa Salamandra. I know that one other bride got married there recently, I think her name was LoriLou. Anyway, if that's her, I saw her pics of the wedding and they are amazing!

I remember that day... I was my freshman year at LSU. My roommates and I came home from swim practice, turned on the tv like most mornings to watch the Golden Girls and happened to hear about the twin towers on the news. All we could do was sit there in silence, just hoping it was all a dream.

My WC says he prefers Farra, but I just don't know if I want to go with a group that no one has recommended on this site.

Cynthia, great post! There is so much information you posted that is so helpful! Thanks!

I live in Houston and we're worried it will come this way. I hope it doesn't, a coworker is actually supposed to get married this weekend!

MMM... sounds yummy! Thanks for the suggestions!

My wedding coordinator is Eduardo Rivera. He is a local, and my mom met him when she went on a trip to PV. I am hoping to make a second trip to PV so that I can meet him and also find a restaurant for the rehersal dinner. Cindy

What type of group did you go with at Enlace?

Hey there! Great post! Would you recommend any restaurant for a rehearsal dinner? I'm looking for something low-key and authentic, but also affordable. Any help would be great!

My wedding planner suggested Grupo Farra. I checked out their website, i'm just afraid that it wont sound the same in person. Have you guys heard of them? Cindy
