I think gifts are given from the heart and should be based on each bride/groom's budget. In essence a destination wedding in itself is outside the norm of the traditional wedding format, so I think it should be contingent on what you feel is appropriate. Of course I'd love to give my gals the world and spoil them rotten, who wouldn't? But I'm not gonna break the bank because some book tells me to. In my case, I have 10 bridesmaids, including my maid of honors and my junior bridesmaid. I also have 2 potential flowers girls (they're not 100% coming at this point). If I went along with the guideline I'd be totally broke therefore etiquette can kiss my ass, lol. So instead I have collectively bought things that I have seen along the planning process that I thought the gals would like -- proudly most of them during super duper sales! 1) bamboo bags $5.00 each (sale) 2) day of clutches $6.00 each (sale) 3) their wedding shoes - ranges from $18 to $32 each 4) wedding reception flip flops to match their dresses - $2.50 each (sale) 5) beach wraps - got these for a ridiculous sale at $1.50 to $2 each 6) tank dresses $7 each (sale) 7) body butters $1.50 each 8 ) palmer's cocoa butter lip balms $1 each (ebay) 9) paying for half of their wedding day makeup/hair $35 each - yep I got a fabulous deal for a traveling hair/makeup artist! 10) deliciously scented candles $1.88 each (sale) * thinking about getting pashminas for the gals too!!! Im so impressed!! Do you have any suggestions where to find some of the great sales listed above??

This message is for past Tulum brides...I am going to decide on my menu and since I've never had their food I was wondering if any of you past brides have any suggestions about what menu you had at your wedding and if you would recommend items or NOT! (haha!) Thanks for your help and suggestions as always!!

Its really easy, I went to wedorama.com and they walk you thru it...however I know I got 50% off...and I believe I saw the coupon code (months ago) on theknot.com. If you search the web for wedorama coupon codes you should be able to get a discount too! GOOD LUCK!

Neen-your pictures are incredible! You are such a beautiful bride!!!

That was just the location we requested when we sent in our deposit. But we aren't getting married until 5pm so I don't know how they work these things Does anyone know how long a typical reception lasts?? I had a question for you...we are getting married June 23rd....and have not put any deposit in for the wedding...should I be doing that? Thanks!

He is a complete cheesebal. I just threw up in my mouth looking at them kiss. HE JUST SAID HOLY CRAP! WTF! My FI is laughing at me. ARGHH.... Love this post!!!..my thoughts exactly....you said it all....and on that note Im off to bed.... Thanks to all for the company and discussion during the show!

ewww...preggers....now that would make for a great discussion on tomorrow nights 2nd after the rose ceremony...(what on earth do they have on the 2nd after the rose show??

wow...Im totally not impressed....the staging for this show is WAY over done....argh!

okay...Molly...this is a little scripted...she knows..and they have been talking...(IM NOT BUYING IT!)

I know reality tv is not totally reality but come on, this is a girls heart, maybe he and Deanna should go off into the sunset together because he just did EXACTLY what she did. well said! If this was planned I am never watching a bachelor again...Its really sad if he sold out to do that!

I agree he prob. got some big $$ to do that on TV....how gross!

I think you are right...he has def. been talking to Molly...otherwise he'd be crying and really upset....and he's not. Wow...you go girl!

Melissa you go girl! Im glad she is telling him how she really feels...I'd be so pissed! Melissa has some good karma coming her way!...

Reality Steve was right!!! I just think this whole thing was a set up!

Wow I just read Steves theory...how depressing!? Lets hope he's wrong....Im still pulling for Melissa!

Kimmy great question...i was thinking the same thing! Looks like I have lots of work to do!

I love the photos! Colors! Set-up! Everything...what a beautiful wedding! I def. will take your suggestions about the ceremony...I have not considered the vows and what we are going to do...but you def. opened my eyes...I had two questions for you... Can you pick who does the ceremony? Did they charge you for set up (ie lights on beach?) Thank you again for sharing!
