OHHHHH Brooke, I just read a great review of your resort... man! http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...vy-pics-53639/ ENJOY!

WHat a great review!! Your pictures look amazing CONGRATS! on being a Mrs. I looked at Flyboynaturals for flowers as well. Did you like the quality? How many bags did you order, did you feel like you had enough?

FutureMG..."on scholarship" LOL love that!!! we have about 8 people on the scholarship program as well. I must have been drinking the heavy koolaid.. I was mistaken on the cost of bridesmaid bouquets at my resort!! they are $15 each, I misread the line item in the spreadsheet they sent me. The corsages are $7.50 each, not 15 each! duh.. with that being said the bouts are $6more than the real touch I was going to purchase, but all in all though, the prices are so similar, I decided to just use real flowers. My bags are bulging as it is. I don't want to go through all the hassle of ordering and waiting and hoping I like the final product to save $12! Doesn't make sense in my head. NOOOOO Brooke! No Mexican jails, lets make a pact LOL. Ladies, sooooo we are planning a meet up where and when, let's start getting some ideas together starting in MARCH, I can't handle another thing right now, lol. Shells we are getting close girlie! super excited Susie sending a big hug... just because I want to darnit!

THese all sound great! Thank you for sharing

I am getting married 02-20-2010 at Aventura Spa Palace. I already have my dress and our rings... I bought DIY message in a bottle invites... and have not sent any out just because I feel seriously frustrated with the people I am inviting. I keep getting calls to look up flights as well as check rates for hotels... I have also gotten..I dont want to go to Mexico...or its to expensive...I just feel like Helloooo I am not a travel agent! I wanted a destination wedding to avoid the stress of who doesnt want to sit with who and if so and so is coming I wont be coming! Yet..here I am stressing! Anyways, I also see alot of you ladies are having a reception when you go home. My hubby to be would like to have a casual party, we are thinking a big barbeque/clambake when the weather is warmer.. Are you sending out an additional invitations? Kinda like a wedding announcement and please come and join the festivities? I also see your bringing OOT bags as well as some silk flower bouquets. How are you getting most of this stuff to your destinations? Extra suitcase or a broker? My wedding planner suggested a broker.. but I figured I would pay the extra $25 for an extra suitcase. Are you giving OOT gift bags and a gift at your wedding? I still need shoes, jewerly, an outfit for the groom and groomsmen... and all my OOT bag gifts. My bridesmaids are pretty much taken care of...I guess I should send out some invitations as well LOL.. Any advice you ladies have would be greatly appreciated!!! As well as anything else I might have missed that I might need! Kim :-) Hello and welcome to the thread!! Time is of the essence at this point. Have you sent out save the dates? I would definitely mail out those invites ASAP. For a destination wedding, I wouldn't want to get an invite a month before I was set to travel. Have you received positive responses along with the negative? I hope so, if you did, focus on those and try not to give the naysayers any of your positive energy. This time can be stressful enough without bearing the burden of all of the negative energy people are putting out. Your day will and should ultimately be about you. If no one shows up but your FI then you will still have the most important guest possible! As far as shoes and last minute things that you have to complete, I will pass on some really good advice that Shellk gave me a long time ago. Make a list in order of priority and check things off as you complete them. I plan on paying the extra bag charge if I have to. I would rather pay and know that my items are arriving when I need them to.

Awww appreciate your FI day...it was a woman who came up with that, I am sure.. There are so many things that I LOVE about Chris. He has the dreamest hazel/green/brown eyes he looks at me in a way that no one else does. The way he protects and provides for his family. He has such a great heart.
