I already ordered FI to not open any boxes from overseas when it comes this week! I'm just thrilled with how it turned out compared to the original... seeing it in person will just be icing on the (wedding) cake! I'm sure yours will be just what you're hoping for too! Make sure you post pics!

We are super excited! You're welcome! You'll get Eugenia if you're at the Akumal, she's SO awesome. Super sweet and so calming. We loved getting to meet her when we went down for our site visit!

Thanks everyone! We love them! We got them printed at Staples on glossy paper. They charged us $35.00 for 30 of them. That was printing in colour, both sides and folding. Yes midnight I noticed that too... we should get together! There's another bride there for her wedding on the 28th! It'll be the GBP BDW gathering! Yes Maria, we're pretty much all done. My dress is on its way from China as we speak, rings got, FI's clothes done, everything we can think of except pre-tanning is done!

Oh I love this!! Perfect! Now... just to get my darling FH to read it. Who knew I'd have a GROOM-zilla!

We finished our gifts for our guests last night. Finally! This is what we put together.... Luggage tags (2 per person) - one side with each person's contact info, the other side with a Canadian Maple Leaf 1 set of bubbles Welcome pamphlet Mug (w/felt bag) personalized with "Rob & Cheryl" and "SFWE'10" which means Super Fantastic Wedding Extravaganza '10! We love how it turned out! The full pics of the brochures are attached as well as the file itself on how we put it together and here's how it all looks together FRONT BACK wedding brochure corrected.doc

I'm so very sorry to hear about your father Cara. My thoughts go out to you and your family. Having a strong knowledgeable TA is soooo important when you have a destination wedding. I can't imagine doing any of this without my TA, Kelly. She's been a godsend when I've been freaking out about this or that. We're dealing with Signature as well and have had our bumps in the road too but thankfully we're booked, confirmed, itineraried and good to go. Still, I can't imagine the stress of having to suddenly change dates and locations so soon before my wedding! Ack!

I've got a boudoir shoot on April 10. I'm so nervous. Thank you to everyone who has posted pictures, it really helps!!!

Hi ladies! I'm another Edmonton bride! Our wedding is next month! I got my dress on ebay Check out my pictures here!! - > http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...ml#post1210668 We went to a few places in WEM when I was first trying to decide what I wanted. Sposabella was a waste of time and I was annoyed in about 5 minutes. They were rude, unhelpful and too interested in gossiping than helping us at all. My MOH had to keep bringing me stuff because the girl kept wandering away. Bridal Debut was really helpful but in the end, I couldnt decide what I wanted in time to order it so I had my dress made on ebay instead for a fraction of the price

Thanks christina! I keep looking at it too.. I can't believe how awesome it is and how mice it turned out and at 10% of the price for the original!

Thank you! I'm so excited for it to get here now. I love how flowy and soft looking it is <3

Here's the link to the pics of my dress .... http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...ml#post1210668

MY DRESS IS READY! I just got the email from gianinarbridal this morning. Here's the pics. Not sure if you can tell, but I had them make the gems with blue to tie in my colours for the wedding Its a Sophia Tolli "Anne" knock-off

MY DRESS IS READY!!!! I'm so excited! I finally got an email this morning that its ready and unless I want alterations done to it, they will send it as is. yippee!!!!

swong - not that I recall.... there's a disco at the Hacienda and there's live bands. That's all I remember seeing there.

You're allowed to eat anywhere at ALL 3 resorts and you're allowed to book the a la cartes at ALL of the 3 resorts. We were there for new years week so this recent experience. The hotel doesn't give a crap which one you're staying at, you can eat at all of them... you're just not allowed to block off some restaurants for the wedding dinner that's all. When it comes to the wedding dinner, if you have some guests staying the Coba, some at the Tulum and some at the Akumal, the WC will of course make exceptions. They're VERY good. Don't stress!

Wow these are amazing! We were going to do bi-fold brochures but after seeing these, we're doing this format instead! Fantastic! oasisgirl - you need to have 150 posts to download any attachments. Spend some time on the board, say hello, put your 2 cents in and before you know it, you'll be downloading!

That IS confusing! Maybe they were already booked?

It's where your wedding is being held. So for us, even tho we're staying at the Coba... because we wanted a beach wedding, our dinner has to be at the Akumal restaurants for which there are 2 choices. Each hotel has their own coordinator so you plan your dinner with them for their hotel restaurants. With some exceptions... the fish restaurant is in each hotel property and so is a variation of the italian one. The Gran Tortuga, Tequila... those places are unique to the Tulum property.

Sharyn, your choices will be Fruitos del Mar (Fish) and Dolce Vita (Italian). We went with the Dolce Vita because it has the best choices when it came to everyone liking what we picked... (chicken lol) I'm so bummed I missed saying goodbye to Raye before she left...but you know I was thinking about you! I can't wait to see all the pics and hear your review!! Welcome back and Congratulations TeNeil! MikeandWendy we were there at the same time as you! I would bet you were even visiting with Eugenia the day that we met with her too! She's wonderful isn't she!? We just got our wedding bubbles and the cake topper on Ebay... looks so cute! We love it!! Man I've missed you guys and this place....

My dress should be ready any day... I'm just waiting for the email from gianarbridal. They started end of January and said 30-40 days. I'm so excited! I can barely contain myself!
