great! hope that helps! I know it was a huge price difference from the customized ones. I also came to the realization that people aren't going to keep these that long so might as well not spend so much money.

Hi Everyone i found maracas! I got them in today and they are great! Here's the website and they are definitely a good deal. I really had my heart set on the customized one but unfortunately that got pricey :-( These are nice though. Amols' Specialty - Catalog - Traditional Maracas

well we picked the natural bag because my FI is green and wants everyone to be able to use them for other uses Thats why we picked the natural

Hi Everyone, I found a great site and the bags arrived and are wonderful! They are about $1.30 per bag---here is the site: BAGedge BE007 6 oz. Canvas Promo Tote - T-ShirtWholesaler.com

My FI and I are officially married!!! We did the legal ceremony yesterday---seems anti-climatic----I can't wait for December!!! We will definitely take our time when we get married there with out personal vows---only about 6 weeks away!

Hi Everyone, i am up to 32 plus bride and groom! I am very excited! It was more than I originally thought would book! The more the merrier I say too I am slacking a little but I figure I won't drive myself nuts---it will be great by default.

Hi Everyone, I have a david's bridal strapless smooth seamless long bra for sale---it just isn't the correct size for me. It is size 40B. I usually wear 36D but this is the one they convinced me to wear and now I can't return it :-( It just doesn't hold my chest in enough. I am asking $50----it retails for $78. The $50 includes shipping. Let me know if you are interested. bridal bra.pdf

i am interested in the vases if you still have them available. If not, can i ask where you bought them at? Thanks!

it just dawned on me that i am only two months away from my wedding and I cannot wait to get there. No worries everyone, I will make sure i write my review

Hi EDRbride---actually because of the confusion with the starfish before with jacilynda--i am not on another list so you are more than welcome to take my place on this list.

i wish it was my size! i gave up and bought beautiful royal purple heels instead

i like 1 and 5----i didn't get the "this is the one" feeling either. i just didn't want to torture myself too long and once i found a dress i thought looked good on me, i decided on it

Any advise? Hi! I haven't been married in July but I was in Tulum last July--it is really hot during the day but i think you can have an outside reception in the evening! at that point everyone will adjust to the heat Just make sure everyone dresses cooly.

wow this list is great! now i am going to work on getting my stuff done!

I have been talking to ALL 3 wedding planners and they have never really mentioned this option! If you can give me all the info you have on this option for dinner, instead of paying the $55-65 extra pp that would help us out sooo much!! Thanks Girls!! your welcome! thats why we are all here---to be prepared I am paying the $65pp extra since i am going with the ultimate dreams wedding. You have to ask and like you have probably hear---bring emails with you, i am definitely doing that. i actually am going to choose the ballroom because it is December and gets colder at night and want to just relax without having to worry about people being cold/can't see food

I am just wondering, how do the waiters know which guest gets what entree Can any past brides let me know how this was handled? Thanks Hi Joanna I actually have three entrees-- two from the list and a vegetable lasagna for the vegetarians. I am just going to play it by year and given them a list when i arrive and we have place cards that they can see the table list with the food. I think they can handle it.

congrats on being a tulum bride!!! Tisha i would take money out of the flowers also. Also, are you paying for a DJ through dreams tulum? If so, it is much cheaper to get someone like DJ Mannia or an outside vendor. I found that out when I was looking at overall costs.

i agree, definitely ask your friend anyways, leave it up to her. It will just make the situation better because it would be her choice.

now i am getting nervous that i am going to be taking more suitcases than i planned!

So far, I have: 1. Purchased a dress 2. Found shoes for the dress 3. Ordered and received invitations 4. Sent out "Save the Date" postcard and magnets 5. Collected guests' mailing address 6. Made the website 7. Ordered bridesmaid dresses 8. Registered at Macy's and Bed, Bath, and Beyond 9. Had a wedding shower last weekend and sent out thank you cards Still a lot more to do, but I think we have a handle on it. The only thing I am worried about is that I just found out that I have to have major surgery Oct 26th, just eight weeks before the wedding. I just hope that I will be recovered by then. Our honeymoon is chartering a sailboat to sail the BVIs through Jan 4th, and I will need to be in shape to work my half of the sailing! I love all of your posts, they have given me some great ideas! Keep them coming! Hi Amie, I can sympathize with you, I just went through major surgery a little over a week ago and I have scars to prove it I say don't worry about it too much, i agree, get everything done before hand. You don't want to rush recovery---trust me! I was miserable for the first 5 or 6 days. Things get better though and you will feel at least 75% before you know it
