Bridej9 and Meghan.... it's so exciting that you are counting down in days now! Meghan it's awesome that your to-do list isn't very long. I literally can barely wait to hear your reviews! As for me, my bridal shower and bachelorette party is this Saturday. I can't believe it's here already .

Meghan, [email protected] just in case you still need it. What I've heard about real flowers in the hair is that they are likely to wilt and some pollen stains which is why I'm going with fake. Plus one less thing to worry about.

Great ideas very unique. I love the canopys and lanturns for the reception... they wii make such an impact

Dee, You look amazing and thank you for sharing the photos. I excitedly went through all 900 of them. I love the picture of you and your girls on the coral/rock. It didn't look very windy either. Where are you with the tequila shots... the lounge? Can't wait to hear more details.

YAY! Congratulations on being a Mrs. Janna! Welcome back.

tikuhhknee, of course you can add your name emilylubbers - April 10, 2010 Sunshine2010-April 10, 2010 bridej9 - April 12, 2010 echo 2 April 16, 2010 emaya77 - May 7, 2010 Badrianne - May 15, 2010 Edenl - May 28, 2010 Buckeyegirl8-May 30, 2010 jac28- July 17, 2010 tikuhhknee- April 21, 2011 I was like you. By May, I will have had 16 months to plan our wedding. Dee, Congratulations on being a Mrs! It is so wonderful to hear (again) that Jacy/Sandra were wonderful.

I'm not decided on the rehearsal either. Please share the extra cost if Jacy get back to you. We have a big wedding party and I may even want some of the bridesmaid/groomsmen to sit down during the ceremony so I feel a rehearsal may be necessary. But then again, the carefree/relaxed mexico vibe might take over and I might not wont to worry about a rehearsal.

She said she'll get back to me once the entertainment staff makes plans for that weekend...

Everything looks lovely. Can't wait to hear how the welcome challenge goes! Your honeymoon sounds so fun. Congrats!

Wow your Oceana reception was beautiful! I love your bouquet too! I'm going to add it to my inspiration page. Thanks for sharing. We'll miss you by four days at DPA. Hope you have a great anniversary.

Safe travels Dee and 2010Wedding! I can't to hear all the amazing details. Rainfall, thanks for the van taxi info. $7 sounds better? Did the vans wait for you all night or did you just find them when you wanted to go home? The concierge gave me a map of the DPA resort which I plan on adding to my prewedding brochure http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...resortmap2.jpg

It's free and my candles won't get blown out. We have a late ceremony so it will be get dark anyway.

Regarding the nightlife in Playa del Carmen, I loved the idea but the $65 per person was too high. I read somewhere that a lot of the clubs/bars are free to get into. So we are going to book a 12 person van for $180 ($15/person) to take everyone to playa from 10 pm-2am on the Thursday after our welcome cocktails. the big drinkers will probably spend at least $65. But the cheap light weights (my girls) will probably get away with spending a lot less to get to dance and party.

Wow dee thanks for the template. We are working on our welcome letter as well. We included a welcome, resort info (restaurants and bars), wedding weekend events, "where's are the bride and groom," the wedding program and thank yous. Your template inspires me to find out what entertainment the resort will be providing. Also I think your SIL was WAY out of line and it is none of her business. The bride and groom should not give up their first class tickets!

Hi Jen2011! Welcome! Check out the planning threads for ideas of projects to work on. There are save the dates, invites, prewedding info, out of town bags, bridesmaid's gifts, decorations and many more ideas on the planning threads.

WOW so much awesome stuff. I especially love your outfit pix. The dress and shoes are perfect. Have fun on your Vday wedding

Congratulations Rainfall! Thanks for all the details and can't wait to see the pictures. I'm so happy it was less windy for you.

Meghan, I like the way you think. Consistency would be nice. Rainfall, thanks for the Desire idea. I hadn't thought of it. Didn't you have after wedding dancing at Desire?

Congrats Mylene! You look and sound so relax in your review. Thanks for the calming words. The flowers are beautiful!

Congratulations Mylene! I'm excited to hear more about your reception. How many guest attended!

Wow so many details. What an inspiration! Thanks for sharing
