We hadn't made any definite decisions on what we wanted to do for a dinner yet and were actually considering going into Playa del carmen somewhere if the cost was going to be the $55/65 as quoted for the silver/gold costs. If we can do something more basic - which is totally more our style - for the prices that you've mentioned here then that will be infinitely easier and less stressful for me to manage. We're still having some "discussions" about what to do for photos (a rather frustrating story) so having more of an open, informal cocktail hour would work well for us too. Wow, pre-emptive sigh of relief here. -> marringhimagain: I can totally feel your planning relief from here and I'm so happy for you!!! Yes, that is correct. We are going with the complimentary package and adding on the private dinner at the price quoted above. There is no additional charge on top of that, for the dinner. Our guests are going to do the informal cocktail hour at one of the bars while we do pictures. (We are going to add a photo package with the resort photographer.) If it helps you any, I will do a review when I get back and let you know how it all works out. I feel fairly (can't expect totally...lol) confident that it will all be great!

We're planning to have our ceremony in the afternoon, do a cocktail reception and a first dance or two, then head off to dinner. Neither one of us is terribly formal so that's why we didn't opt for one of the higher packages. I'm hoping we can work something simple out with Jacy and when you do finally hear from her, I'd love to know what she says so I don't turn around and ask the same questions!! And if you don't seem to be getting the answers you need, I'd personally just get as specific as I possibly could for what I wanted and just keep at it. From what I've heard, everyone has had a great experience so even though I'm sure to have my stresses along the way, I think it'll all work out. Sharing my info: I heard back from Jacy. She said that we can add whatever extras we would like in addition to the complimentary package. A private dinner will be $25.00/pp and can be held in the gazebo or on the beach. The cake cutting and toast can be held after the ceremony or at the private dinner. Guests can just go to one of the bars for an informal cocktail hour while pics are being taken. Then back to either gazebo or beach for the private dinner. An extra bouquet for bridesmaid is $45.00, an extra bout is $20.00. As for music.... there is electricity in the gazebo that we can use free of extra charge. She said many brides bring their own Ipod and speakers. To use their sound system equipment is extra charge (as we all knew). We can add whatever photo package we would like. I can bring whatever decorations I would like and they will put them up with no additional charge. She was very helpful. I feel much less stressed about it now. She said all these things can be handled once we arrive and everything can be as I want it. She gave me the minister's email addy so I can talk directly to him with any concerns. I know feel like I have a plan! YAY!

I have been told that they "usually" have them in the gift shop at DPA with the price ranging from $2.00-$7.00. But they are sometimes out of stock. In that case, they can be found in Playa del Carmen in many of the shops. Someone told me to check our state liquor stores, that they also have them or can order them in. I live in PA and am going to check if I can get them here. (I however, only need 8 of them so don't have to worry about hauling many of them to MX.)

1. I am having more fun planning our DW Vow Renewal than I did our original wedding. Original wedding was more what my mom wanted than what I wanted. 2. I have a nursing degree and at times feel guilty that I am "wasting it" by not working. (But I really don't want to work as a RN anymore.) 3. My mom passed away almost 20 years ago and there are still days that I cry b/c I miss her so intensely. 4. I am addicted to FarmVille. 5. I wish I would have had at least one more child.
