Lots to do since we just got back today but feel free to ask me any questions and I will try and answer any I can. =) Thank you so much for posting this! Can't wait to read your interview and see your pics!

My WC told me I could do a sand ceremony. Quote: Originally Posted by ~Stephanie~ I thought we could only pick one thing for everyone unless there was a veggie sub? Is this not the case? My WC said we could do two different entrees. We just need to mark the place cards. Sorry to hear about the debit card. Did your money get returned yet? Also, for ladies who planned to use Tiffany chairs-Jesmcan, I know you were- my WC said she doesn't think they are available anymore. You might want to check with the resort.

Sorry for the long message ladies-haven't been on here!

Oh, Marvin still has not replied back to any of my emails and it is starting to piss me off. He is dealing with MY money. Are you communicating with him through emails or phone calls? Di, I emailed him about 3 weeks ago when you first posted his contact info. He emailed me back immediately. Quote: Originally Posted by bridetobe1515 YES!!!! The stuff I shipped made it Mexico!!

Just wanted to drop you future brides a note to say that shipping to Mexico isn't all that bad. How did you ship it? Was it expensive? How long did it take? Thanks for the info.

I'm getting worried everything won't make it through! There is a thread on here for customs in Mexico. Do a search. You should be able to pull it up.

Great thread. I love the dry erase idea! Was there a template for that?

These are really nice. I love the pics in the background!

Thanks for posting this, Holly.

Cute. I'm thinking about doing these for our AHR. Thx for sharing.

I love these threads! Thanks for the EBAY seller.

This is a wonderful idea! Too bad someone already has it for my date.

I love the maracas and The Places You'll Go guestbook!

Aesome planning! Thanks for sharing!

Your planning thread is awesome!

I am interested for the next order!

Do you know the name of thi color? I'm pretty sure it matches mermaid from David's Bridal. If so, I'll take them all.

Lexibride, that looks great! Amazing!

All of the DIY projects turned out to be really nie!

Nice! I have seen so many beautiful invites on here. I am soooo scared to try to make ours!

Very unique!

Shipping for 5-6 items is usually aroung 6.00 or 7.00. So all of your items are free and you only pay for shipping. Example---order one t-shirt, hat, pen, notebook and mouse pad--pay 6.00. Do it 8 times and for less than 50.00, you have 8 t-shirts, 8 hats, 8 pens 8 notebooks and 8 mouse pads.

I wanted to personally thank you girls because it was you guys that really helped me come up with this idea. You guys help inspire me daily and I can't wait to see all your amazing weddings So thank you again That is AWESOME! Congrat, congrats ans congrats! I think alot of vendors get their start through their own expeiences of planning, etc. You're gonna be great! Good luck!

No problem!

That's what I get for procrastinating LOL! My FI and I stayed at The Royal Cancun in 2008 and we both LOVED IT! The food was good, staff was wonderful and location was PERFECT! You will be happy!

Michel said they would absolutely not cancel my wedding for this, phew!! Any way, off to my flight for chicago (its not Mexico but it will do, despite the rain!!) yay! Have a great time! It's a little cool and rainy here but oh-there's so much to do!
