We are using teal, royal blue, and green, either lime or grass. I am still deciding which color of green I want to use.

Wow! That's a steal on the centerpieces. It looks great plus it looked pretty easy to put together. Way to go!

Congrats! September will be here before you know it! Where are you planning to get married?

Welcome. Happy planning!

they look great! Thanks for the templates too!

Thanks! I just might have to order some.

Any feedback anyone has would be greatly appreciated! Jennifer Jennifer- We have decided on Sandos primarily b/c of their wedding packages. I wasn't too impressed with any of the other resort packages. I did have a friend just come back from Riu Tucan and she said that they do not have a private beach, which in turn means that anyone and everyone can watch your wedding-including topless onlookers She said that she was frustrated b/c no one stopped them so they ended up being in the wedding pics as the bride was walking down the aisle! I have also been in contact with 2 brides that have been married there. They are both people who have been very willing to answer any and all of my questions. It has been nice to know different brides who have had nothing bad to say about the resort. Good luck with your searching! Jessica

Congratulations! It will be here before you know it!

Wow! Thanks Jacilynda.I haven't done very well with this challenge. I still need to get motivated. It looks like there are many of you who are doing great. Keep up the good work!

Those look great! What a cute idea.

We also reserved our date before we had the resort reserved. The WC had me fill out a form for the wedding. I signed it and then faxed it back so she has my signature. She isn't able to confirm the date until she has our wedding resort confirmation number but it makes me feel better knowing that she has my date.

wow you are doing good! I am almost booked at Azul beach for May 29th 2010 and I really want to send out STD magnets in the next month or so. Did you send them out to the wedding guests? I am having a US side reception too - should I send STDs to those guests? I don't want extended family and friends who I am inviting to the US recpetion only to wonder where their STDs are.... Thoughts? I had the same question. I decided that I am only going to send out STDs to people going to Mexico b/c there are people who are attending the AHR that I don't care to have in Mexico. I"m afraid that they will assume that since they got a STD with the location, it means that they are invited too. I am still pondering whether or not to send out STDs for the AHR. I might send out 2 different STDs b/c we are having a small intimate ceremony in Mexico with family and close friends and just not include the location but the date for the AHR. Good Luck!

Congrats & happy planning!

Congrats and happy planning!

Congrats! This forum has been a lifesaver so far and you are going to love it to! It sounds like you have the resort picked but do you have a date? We are getting married in January and we do not have our resort booked b/c there aren't any prices out yet. We have been told that we should be able to book by mid-July. Just start by getting the big things out of the way- resort and any AHR stuff that you are doing, if you are. Then start talking with the Wedding Coordinator from the resort. I think there should be a Dreams Tulum forum which should help you out a ton. Good luck!

I would be interested but I think they are already gone.

You guys are all right and have helped me see the situation differently. I have never been worried about her being pregnant in pictures or the festivities but more the fact that I am going to feel responsible if something happens to her or the baby b/c she wouldn't be down there if it weren't for me. I will trust her judgment and just pray that everything turns out alright. Thanks again! Sometimes this bride thing sucks and I find myself getting a little wrapped up in all of the hoopla.

Wow. I seriously am not a selfish person but I did come off that way. I am a nurse and I always think of what could happen. I wouldn't be going to Mexico being pregnant at any time so I guess in my mind it is hard for me to understand why she would want to go being pregnant. If the wedding were here in the states we wouldn't be having this conversation and I wouldn't care if she were 8 months pregnant. I completely understand that having a child is a blessing, I can't wait until we have children in the near future. Thank you for your imput.

Quote: Originally Posted by Jacilynda I'm sorry I didn't understand the entire situation. Correct me if I'm wrong but I got that you weren't asking you MOH to be your MOH cause she might be pregnant. This sounds crazy to me! My younger sis is my MOH and she is currently pregnant. She will be 33 weeks pregnant. her doctor has said that she is fine to go as long as she doesn' have any issues between now and then. I personally would be really offended if my sis or my BF would ask me to put my life on hold for their wedding, I personally just don't think thats right, and I would also be very hurt that they would replace me as MOH because I was choosing to build a bigger family. We have been to several hospitals in Mexico for several different reasons and in RM I felt they were just as nice as US hopsitals if not better in some places. I really don't see any reason to freak out about something happening w/ her. Maybe sit down and talk w/ her about how you feel and get an idea of what she thinks. If something happens w/ my sisters pregnancy and she can't make it hen she can't come. We made sure we had purchased a refundable ticket for her. We were set on having an even number of attendants and realized later on its not a big deal. And have decided that we will be happy in the end no matter what as long as we're both there No, she is my MOH. I asked even knowing that it might be a possibility but thought she might rethink things once all of these festivities were taking place. My fear was that since she was the only person in the wedding(we were only going to have MOH and BM) we would be SOL if she didn't end up coming. I"m not replacing her but I need to have someone else available if she doesn't end up being able to make it. The other thing is that she isn't currently pregnant but plans on starting to try in June. I guess why not wait another 6 month b/c in the whole picture 6 months won't make that much of a difference. She would also be leaving her husband and her 1yr old at home, possibly being 6 months pregnant.

So I need some opinions on my MOH situation. I have a MOH who is my best friend and I was her MOH. She has decided that she is going to start trying to get pregnant in June which would make her 6mos pregnant at our wedding in January and 9 mos at our AHR in March. I feel selfish but at the same time I want her to be my MOH and be involved in all the parties and festivities at go on for a wedding. We also have a very good friend getting married in September so she is planning on missing out on her bach party and wedding too. I thought that once she heard that our friend was getting married that she might wait. It's only 6 months difference and she has a 1yr old at home now and he will turn 2 next March, when she plans on having the 2nd. I am afraid for her going to Mexico being pregnant b/c who knows what might happen- Hep A, pre-term labor, etc. I don't want to upset her but at the same time I would like to say something to her but I'm just not sure what b/c it is putting a barrier up between us. This has made us in limbo for our wedding party. I ended up asking another bridesmaid b/c I am afraid that she won't be able to go. We aren't asking another guy yet b/c we are waiting to see if she goes(we currently have 1 guy & 2 girls). I feel like the idea isn't up for discussion and she is not even questioning getting pregnant. HELP! Should I say something to her or am I being selfish? Thanks in advance! Jessica

I agree with all of you. My biggest thing is that I want my girls comfortable and I want them to wear their dress again. We all know that we have bridesmaids dresses that we spent a ton of money on and will never wear again! I also have a MOH who thinks she might be 6 mos pregnant at the time of the wedding in January and 9mos at my AHR in March so another reason to let them pick their own dresses.
