    Thanks so much for the tips! I like your idea about having a parents' dinner one night & a separate one with friends so you get to spend time with people w/o feeling pulled in a bunch of directions.

    Wow. These are some seriously great tips. Thanks everyone! I too love the $1 area of Target; have found some really cute shower favor gifts in the past (votive candles, etc). Anyone have any ideas for finding a not-so-expensive dress in the NYC area? It's so nice to see we're all in the same frugally-driven boat.

    Wow! I'm so impressed with your planning thread! So many cute details & it seems like you've thought of everything. You put so much love & work into those care packages & it shows. Your guests will truly be blown away. Good luck to you!!

    I'm really interested in Barcelona Tapas too, so any additional info anyone has would be great! Thanks!

    Jamie, I agree with you. While controversial (fake baking), I think going to a tanning bed a couple of times before leaving can be a quick way to start on a base tan. One word of caution: don't over-do it the 1st time you go! It was suggested to me (also super pale) not to go for more than like 10-12 min the 1st time to avoid frying yourself.

    Welcome to the forum! I'm a noob too. As a guest, destination weddings are so great - you get to celebrate the best day of your friend's life and have a vacation at the same time!! Are you involved in any of the planning or do you get to just show up & enjoy?

    Wow you guys are fast!! I love how helpful & nice everyone on this site is!! I'm sure I'll be requesting lots of help - starting now. Lauren, I noticed you're from NJ. Did you use a travel agent? And did you use the WC at Dreams or hire one? I'm sure you remember the planning process well & we're at the bazillion questions phase. Thanks!!

    We've just been discussing this! So glad to have come across all of your posts. I like the idea of waiting to exchange rings 'til the DW & using that date as our anniversary date, but it does seem kind of confusing to have the 2 dates. We can't decide when to have the legal ceremony (before or after the DW in Mexico). Sounds like we should start by finding out if the resort has any requirements (like bringing a marriage license with us) and checking with the NY powers-that-be.

    Hi all. I'm Karen & am so excited to have found this great resource. My fiance & I are in the process of planning a wedding next Jan in Puerto Vallarta. I think we're pretty set on Dreams & I've been reading many of the Dreams' threads. Thanks to everyone for all of the insight & advice!
