Very nice. How did you make the map cards?

I never thought of using the boxes. What a good idea! Did you ship them beforehand?

I wouldn't. Try Sam's Club or Costco.

These are cute! Are you ordering them? If so, can you let us know how the quality is? Thanks!

Does anyone have information on the lounge furniture rental from The Royal as far as what is included (couch, loveseat, chair, etc.) and the color as far as the 250 per 5 pieces, 500 for 10? Also, is there a link where you can see pictures of the furniture? Thanks!

I wanted to make sure I did not ask questions that may have already been answered several times, lol. This forum, and the ladies on it, have been so helpful! I initially wanted to do a DW so I would not have to plan anything, doesn't seem to be the case! My FI and I are from different religious backgrounds so we are having a religious cermony of three hundred guests in Vancouver, and aprox 35-50 guests in Playa. I went from not wanting to plan a wedding to having to plan two weddings! To add to that, we too have had to change our wedding date from April 2011 to Nov 2010 due to price difference for our guests. I'm sure you can imagine that mad scramble I'm going through now trying to plan two weddings in seven months! I have stayed at the Royal before so am familiar with ground layout, etc. Some of the questions I do have: 1. Re lounge furniture - I saw a post that mentioned that they used the Royal's for $250-300. I was initially going to rent mine from another outfit that charged aprox $2000 (used by several other posters). Can someone give me more info about the Royal's lounge furniture and how it compares. 2. Re DJ - does the Royal use DJ Doremixx? If so, is it cheaper to book him privately, even while paying the $350 vendor fee 3. I have not received any communication from an WCs. Everything was booked through a travel agent. Is this normal? 4. I'm in the same boat as many other ladies - the Luxury Package is what I initially was going to go for, but there are alot of services - mani/pedi, hair/makeup, photo, etc, that I will not use - are we still able to book a four course private reception? Lastly, I have not posted enough to open the attachments. Can someone be kind enough to email the wedding and price checklist, and this cake list that everyone is talking about, lol. [email protected] Thanks a bunch ladies! Hi Luna, I am pretty new to this thread as well. I emailed Dorremixx (he took a long time to get back to me-and I emailed him twice) and basically he told me that if I am getting married at the Royal I would have to book him directly through him. I emailed Ivan Gomez who responded very promptly. He costs $850, but you would have to pay the vendor's fee for him. Ladies, is it a way that I can shortcut to this forum instead of doing a search every time I get on here? Lastly, Julie is my wedding coordinator and she's been WONDERFUL!

Thanks for the review!

Hi Chicago Bride, I, too, am from Chicago and am getting married at The Royal on Dec. 11, 2010. Welcome to The Forum!

Tracey, I love your pics! Were De Sol very expensive?

Hi ladies, I am wondering how current this thread is or if there are new requirements that were put in place. The same thing (junior back to noob) just happened to me. Thanks!

Congratulations! Be sure to share your pics with us!

Very nice. I especially like the meet the guests portion!

Are your OOT bags iron on?

THese are very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Love the wording on back!

These are wonderful. How long did it take you to make them? Was it difficult to get them printed and assembled and lastly, about how many did you make and what was the total cost? Thanks for your help!

You could make name tags and put a question on each that is unique to the individual like: ask me about the time I...

This is very nice! Do you have instructions on how you made the shadow box?

These are really nice. Did you have a problem with the rhinestones coming off during washing?
