I found this thread a few weeks ago and it is AMAZING!

Thanks for starting this thread and thank you ladies for sharing. I've been wondering what I was going to write. Now, I have some ideas!

Moe, it is obvious how much work you put in! This is a wonderful thread!

We are using Wedding Window. We've had NO PROBLEMS and everyone LOVES our site. It's also much cheaper than 30.00 per month.

Congrats and welcome to the forum, The ladies here are awesome!

Really cute. We ordered tote bags from Oriental Trading. They have flip flops on them which is a nice design. They were very reasonable. The bags are not big enough for towels or t-shirts though.

You're going to LOVE this forum! It's an EXCELLENT resource!

Congrats...Be careful...It's addictive! :-)

Welcome to the forum. Be sure to check out the Riviera Maya thread!

Hi Angela, Did you get any responses on this? I'm having the same problem. Thanks.

Yes ladies, you can have a sand ceremony with a legal wedding! I found out from Julie that me WC in Mexico is Lilia Levet. I hope she's as good as Julie!

Nice thread. Love the reserved chair signs. Good idea sending one to The White House.

Lady Di, Congrats and welcome back! Beautiful pics! looking forward to reading your review. I'm a little disappointed by the Michigan office closing. My wedding coordinator (Julie) has been awesome! I'm hoping I'll get as much of a prompt response!

Guess I posted before refreshing. Sorry.

Yay!!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing. I tried to order twice, but it said this offer was only valid for new users so I got creative and created an account for my FI. Now, I have two orders on the way! This is soooo much cheaper than in the stores!!!! I had seen some marked down at Walmart marked wrong but the manager would only give me three at the reduced price. I had decided not to do it but God worked everything out. This is the cheapest ever!

Did you ladies see any florists on 5th? Ladies, Did any of you have the musicians play? I want to book 1 hr., but I want them to play like 15 minutes for my wedding and 45 min. for the cocktail hour. My WC said it had to be continuous.

I LOVE your bouquet!

Are you DIY or ordering? If you are DIY, checkout the DIY thread here. If you are ordering, do a Google search for Destination Weddings by Dawn. They have wording suggestions on some of theirs and you can always Google wording. Good luck!

Great job! I love the table numbers/place cards.

What a nice thread. Your invites and programs are really nice. Did you find that most people used/took the program fans? I'm seriously considering making these. Were they extremely complicated? Thanks!

Quote: Originally Posted by lizzy123 Thanks for all the posts, they are so useful, I’m getting all sort of great ideas and of course some do’s and don’ts. I still have some questions for any of you that may know the answer: 1)I’m booking the wedding reception at 4 pm in the Gran Porto Real in the beach location, is there more than one beach in the GPR? I just that I have reading that in the Royal PDC they are so if anyone know how the beach settings for the receptions are in the GPR I will really appreciate any comment or suggestion 2)Regardin the guest and non-guest, do they charge you for a day pass for the non-guest if you are already paying for the private reception in their packages? I’m kind of confused on this as my WC hasn’t told me anything about an additional charge and I don’t want surprises 3)Does anybody contract the DJ with the packages, I have been reading that very good reviews about DJ Ivan and Doremix and I was wondering if its better to book somebody outside even with the vendor charge 4)Same question about the photographers, does anybody contracted the ones that the Royal has or its better to go with an outsider? Tx! I got a wedding date twin! Hi Lizzy, welcome to the forum! Ladies, Did any of you have the musicians play?

Hi Ladies! Welcome back! I'm glad that your weddings were perfect and that you all are back to share them with us. I'm starting to get so excited! Di-Congrats! Running bride-If you can't find it, take the CPU to the MAC geniuses. If it's an IMAC with the built in screen-carry that in. I know it's a pain, but I swear a few months ago my file vault locked me out of my mac and I couldn't get in. It wouldn't recognize my password. What makes it really horrible is that my updated dissertation was on there and not backed up (I know...I know...) Anyway, I took it to the mac geniuses who basically gave me the whole-governmental rate security speech... after a few tears, they restored my whole system. Don't worry, they'll be able to recover your files.

You should feel so accomplished! Good work!
