I have a friend who's going to a taping of her show today! She cracks me up and I loved her books, especially "Are you there Vodka, it's me Chelsea"

You should think about opening an Etsy store to sell them online! I'd really like a white one if you're offering to make any extras of those?!

Has anyone brought a videographer with them? That's an interesting concept! For other people who are just paying the cost of the trip... you pay 100% to the travel agent up front for the photographer? So no exchange of money with the photographer himself? It's strange to me to pay it all upfront, wish there was a way to just pay the deposit, then the rest after the events.

Thanks for your review! Any advice about Playa del Carmen outside of your resort? Do any fun excursions? Congrats, Newlywed!

Thanks for sharing your review, Des! I hope we'll get the honor of seeing more pictures and hearing all your deepest thoughts! Enjoying married life?

Paige, I don't think you need to include price information on the website. I'm not going to: I don't want to scare anyone off with an initial look at the price so I'm leaving it up to those who are interested to initiate contacting the travel agent. Hopefully she will reel them in Hope you're feeling better, Josie. That sounds painful! Welcome new RPRM chicas!

Shorten it, then wear the heck out of it every year from Memorial Day through Labor Day!

I found an awesome photographer that will shoot our wedding for the cost of travel. We're in the process of putting together a contact. For those of you who have gone thru this, what were the most important things you think need to be added in the contract? What do you wish you would have included?

Welcome! To help you pick, think about which one will be easier to travel to for you and your guests. Or do a quick pricing and see which one is friendlier!

Thanks for your review, Desiree! Couple questions: 1- Did you book the Catamaya Excursion in advance or decide to do it once you got there? 2- How many photos did you get on cd? Did they take pics of the ceremony only or reception too? 3- When did the mariachi band play (ceremony? cocktail?)? What music did you have for the ceremony? 4- Did you have any music or dancing during the dinner reception? Thanks a mucho, married lady!!!

CONGRATS JAC!!!!! Hope your trip is fabulous. We'll be thinking of you!!

Wedding photos are probably the only time our rings with be photographed up close, so I want to make sure we're taking pictures of the real thing!

Welcome Lindsey! So glad to hear from you, Des, I can't believe you're back already!!! Your AHR is coming up soon right? Ahhhh you crazy newlywed

CONGRATS DES AND TYLER!! I've been so excited to hear all about your trip! :-)

Lisa- do you know if those menus are only for the private dinner? If you have the semi-private dinner is the menu bigger/different?

your pics are fabulous. definitely go for the 30 page book!

Been thinking of you all day Desiree, hope your day is as FABULOUS as you are!!!! Congrats Desiree and Tyler!!! <3 CHEERS to the newlyweds!

oh hey we all forgot- HAPPY BIRTHDAY DESIREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love from all your BDW-ers!!!!

Byeee Des and Tyler.... here's an advance CONGRATS to you both!! <3 Josie- your personalized stamps are awesome. Was it expensive (on top of the cost of postage)? So perfect for the wedding goods! Congrats on finishing the invitations Lisa!

I LOVE your dress!!! If you're ever going to sell it send me a PM!

Sounds like a great site, thanks for sharing. I know snapfish makes nice books but they're expensive, so this is a great alternative.

Oops forgot: Jannae- DON'T give your guests the option!! I contemplated telling people who were super financially strapped that they could stay somewhere cheaper, but it would likely open a can of worms that you can't take back. I don't trust anyone to keep their lips sealed with information like that! They mean business with that 80% guest rule. Plus, it'd be so much more fun to have your guests all together getting to know each other. Make it seem like RPRM is the ONLY place to be!

Happy Monday everyone! Drew and I printed addresses on our STD postcards we ordered from VistaPrint! Anyone have advice on getting them mailed- can they do "metered mail" at the post office or do you physically have to slap a stamp on each card? Desiree, get those photos up when you finally catch your breath! Glad you had a stellar weekend!

I did a ton of research into the different chinese dressmaker sites... I did end up buying a dress from Duosheng and am waiting to receive in within the next month!! It's not the Maggie I linked above, in the end I was deciding between a Paloma Blanca and a SanPatrick. I went with the SanPatrick. Jacilynda on the forum used ZeroLove (aka Landy Bridal) and had an AWESOME experience. Try searching "knock-off wedding dress" or something similar, a bunch of us have posted pictures there and it's looking pretty good
