Thanks for sharing!! You looked amazing Can't wait for the review!!!

Thanks for all the pics!! I especially loved the one of you & FI on the hammock Such a sweet couple! Glad you had a great time & looking at all the pics makes me want to be there right NOW!!

Bahahaha...stuck with him forever Heh heh...just kidding. I love the big goofball & there is noone i would rather have annoy me for the rest of my life.....HEY!! Maybe i should say that in my vows..lol

Congrats Michelle!!! I'm so happy that everything went perfectly for you Can't wait to read your review & see your pictures!!!

Yeah...running really isn't the best option considering the fact that i'd have two toddlers pinned underneath my arms..don't think i'd get very far lol... A friend of mine is also getting married in September & told me she is experiencing the same thing. I guess its just nerves & stress from planning the wedding while still maintaining a life outside of planning. BUT HE IS SO ANNOYING!!!! Seriously, I probably have my days too, but i can't be that bad lol Last night he told me he wants me to buy his groomsmen gifts , which is fine with me (we are getting them reef bottlecap flipflops) BUT the annoying part is that he only has 3 groomsmen & wants me to get 6 pairs of flip-flops...2 extra for his buddies that aren`t coming to the wedding...He says `they are kind of like a thank you for considering to come gift` WTF!!! When i said that wasn`t a wise thing to spend MY money on..he says `` well you think spending money on those maracas & mugs are a wise way of spending money`` Seriously...these are gifts & favors for guests attending the wedding...SEE ANNOYING!!!! but alittle laughable too...

I don't know if its the fact that the date is getting closer...but a massive case of cold feet is setting in I've been with him for 7 years & we have 2 awesome children together, BUT everything he does is annoying the s**t out of me lately & i'm starting to question everything & feeling like i just want to run.... Anyone else going through something like this or am i just being a weirdo??

Woo-Hoo!! Its getting so close! I'm excited...all in the last week my personlized travel mugs from discountmugs, chair sashes & large maracas came in!! I ordered the maracas from Amols & to any of you who are wavering on ordering them from there DO IT!! I asked for all pink & orange & they did it! They are seriously awesome! Sorry, but I love when wedding stuff comes in. Makes me happy..heh heh..

I don't know why she told me no outside vendors...they seem to be so random with the answers to requests we have. She didn't even give me the option of paying an outside vendor fee. It was "No outside vendors, We have a great resort photographer" with a link to juans website. Bizarre but all water under the bridge as i could care less anymore....I just want to be in Mexico NOW!!!!!

I sent an email to Claudia a few months back telling her I didn't want to use Juan because i was going to fly my own photog in from Canada & Claudia responded back telling me there were NO outside vendors allowed & told me how great of a photographer Juan is. I was very disappointed as i am pretty sure i wouldn't have been the first to bring in a photographer. Weird how they always have different responses for different brides? Regardless I cancelled my photographer... Anyway, before you cancel out Juan i would check with Claudia about briniging in your own. She may let it happen but she didn't for me so I am using Juan for the wedding day & a Cancun photographer for my TTD a couple days later.

Congrats StarfishBride!!! So happy that everything went perfectly for you!! Can't wait to read your review

Thats so awesome that she covered the soundsystem...It normally rents out for $180 + 11% tax PER hour...you got a great gift from her!! Your wedding sounded amazing. I hope you'll post pics Congrats on becoming a Mrs!!!

I exchanged the cocktail hour & Claudia allowed 10 people. That is on top of the fact that I exchanged the Mexican Trio for 5 more people. So my total covered is 35....which is great because we are only having about 33 people...I love saving money wherever i can!!

Congrats Admin!! Can't wait to see your review & pics:) I just checked my Q & A form from Claudia & it does say that an extra charge will apply for a wedding rehersal. It doesn't say how much but i'm going to write an email to Claudia asking her. I can't imagine it'll be too much since a rehersal only takes 10 minutes, but its still pretty ridiculous...

Mine is still 4 months away but i'm starting to feel the pressure & anxiety a bit!!!

Does anyone know the cost of a rehersal?

The good thing is so many brides have used them with no problems....& i do love the mugs so i'm sure you'll be fine!!

Thank you for posting this!!! After reading it I went on the site & emailed customer service to ask if i could order mine in only pink & orange & he wrote me to tell me that they would do this for sure & they are actually going to add this as an option on the website because they get so many requests for certain color schemes....Great customer service & the maracas are awesome. Very pleased!

Wow, your OOT bags are impressive! I'm sure your guests will love them

Just to update everyone...after phoning them yesterday & telling them my problem like i said above she told me that they just went into production, i got an email today saying they had been shipped out today by UPS so hopefully within the next couple of weeks i'll get them. I know my wedding is 4 months away, but i'm impatient lol...especially after waiting a month for them to even be in production, but i think the main issue was the shotty customer service. I will definitley not use them again...

Normally i'm a plated dinner kind of girl at a wedding BUT atleast with the buffet you get fajitas!!! I love them!!! I wish i could have a buffett just for that reason alone I don't think your guests will mind...its an open bar

I would rather buy them then rent as i think it'll save some money. Do you know of a place in Calgary that sells them?

I'm hoping to stay under $15, 000 Dress - $2300 (with alterations) Travel/Accomodations - $4000 (including honeymoon week) Rings for both - $1300 Package from resort - $2800 Soundsystem rental - $900 OOT Bags - $600 Suits - $500 BM Dresses - $300 Favors - $40 Table/Placecard/Centerpeices - $250 Flowers - $400 For a grand total of $13, 390.... Cutting it pretty close so i sure hope i'm not forgetting anything!!!

I just wanted to warn you all of the lack of customer service at Discount Mugs. I placed an order worth $300 to them on May 7th and it is now the beginning of June & my mugs haven't even been printed yet!!! About a week after I placed the order & they took my money I got an email stating that they were out of stock of the ones i ordered...which is kinda messed that they left it for a week & then let me know. Anyway, the lady ended up calling me & seemed very friendly so i let it slide & we chose different mugs. She said because my delivery date was supposed to be June 2nd she would put them into production THAT DAY and get them shipped out ASAP...well i've written her a couple emails asking her whats going on & she wouldn't respond. Today i called customer service & they tell me that they just went into production today. I explained to her what happened & about talking with the other woman & she said they should be shipped today or tommorow....WTF!!! At this point, i just want my 300 bones back & want to go somewhere else...super frustrating to deal with! I hope all of you that are planning to order from them have better luck then me. I would recommend ordering on the phone so they can check the stock with you on the other line...
