sweetpea, would loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee to see some of your pictures!!!!!!!

I agree with Nem, just say you already have one. You run into hurting their feelings that way too though because they would expect you to pick one over the other. You can always just 'forget' to pack it and then be upset and say you are sorry at the wedding. That solves it without anyone getting hurt. I hate to say it, but this little white lie wont hurt anyone

How are you girls wearing your hair?? Any photo inspiration?? I'm stuck on how to wear mine. I'm nervous because of Mexico's humidity!

Hope you have fun girls!!! Mine isint until the end of April

We are giving out cute luggage tags for wedding favors. We also did the OOT bags and will give them out as people arrive

I have read in other reviews and fourms that brides really like the 'Real Touch' flowers. They look real and are way cheaper. Just a thought

Nikki- I too wanted orchids in my wedding bouquet. I wanted calla lilies and then a few orchids and Ariadna said it would cost much more because orchids are expensive. That's not fair. If the package states a bouquet is included then all flowers should be up for an option. But if not all flowers are.. then it should be stated in the agreement!! Not just decided whenever they want on whats covered and whats not!

My mom just brought this up to me and I never even thought about it! Are you tipping the WC??? Any thoughts?

I can't beilieve the unforgetable package does not include a centerpiece!!! That's crazy because you are spending so much already!

Just doing the good old bed tanning. I'm worried about skin cancer too but I do not wanna chance being ornage on my wedding day.. and I dont wanna get sunburned the day before. I may have missed the post if there was one, but what is the rules about tipping the WC??? What are you girls going to do? My mom just brouht this up to me and I did not evern think about it... hmmm..

I just went with the one centerpiece that was included in my package. They will use it on the table during the ceremony and then bring it in and place it on our table for the reception. We are doing our reception at the Italian place. Ariadna said since our wedding is small (14 people) that we could do a reservation at a resturant and then we can do the cake there as well. I have the moonlite package and a reception is not included. I picked the centerpiece DN - 10 but asked for orange and pink flowers. She mentioned that I should bring music on an ipod to walk down the isle to. Is anyone doing this???

Sorry, I can't help you on the chapel. We are getting married on the beach Just picked my cake and centerpiece options. 1 month and 2 days till we leave!

Maromabride, My hair appointment is for 1:30 and we are getting married at 5:30. They say it takes about 2 hours but then I have to get something to eat, do my makeup, take some pictures. And what if it's longer than 2 hours or if something happens? More time is better I think

Just booked my hair appointment!! Ahhhhh only 43 more days till we leave!!!

According to the facebook page, most people had to return their keys and a couple said they did not. Also, people have been saying that they are only giving out one room key per room! I would check the fb page for more info!

Thank you Ibaz! Great idea!

Looking for some bridesmaids gift ideas.. what are you girls getting?

Ibaz- Those mugs are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have a link to the etsy shop that you bought them from???

Hey girls! What are you planning on giving as a wedding favor? I have been looking everywhere and found nothing unique! Ideas please!!!

Ok ladies.. Here is a copy of the email between me and Ariadna about the outside vendor fee... this was around the time that the resort put a surcharge on the lobster and I was pissed! Her response is first then my first email is under it. Dear Alison, Don´t worry if you booked your Wedding before, you don’t have this fee. About the outside photographer only you need to pay the day pass $95usd per person no the fee $200usd.

We have not booked out trip yet but we did book our wedding package. We booked this package at your resort based on amenities that the Valentin offered. Now those amenities are being taken away after I booked my wedding. And I agreed to pay the outside photographer fee with no problems. Even though I know Lupita waived the fee for other brides recently. That is not fair but I didn't argue. I am extreamly dissapointed and upset and hope the Valentin will reconsider and waive the fee for the lobster pot for my fiance and I since we already put money down.

MrsAl - I am having an outside photographer come in too. First she quoted me like 200 bucks or something crazy like that. When I complained, she said I would only have to pay the guest day pass which was like 75 or 90.. something like that. I will have to print out my emails and take them with me to make sure she dosent charge us!!

I know that I read it somewhere but now I can not find it. How much extra is the hupa to rent?? JBean - I am having my ceremony at 5:30 but thats in May
