I started emailing Yamina back in December, but that was only really for package options and such. I have been accumulating my questions/pictures and emailing when I have a bunch or if I need to know so I can start working on a project (ie welcome booklets!) She has been pretty amazing and I meet with her Saturday when we arrive. Any how, if I were you I would email her pictures and such now, just to see if it is an actual possibility and then finalize everything there! HTH-Jess

Hi ladies! I have a question for those of you who have been to EPM... Yamina confirmed by reception/dinner will be held at Agave restaurant. For the cocktail hour I have the Agave terrace or Revive bar. Which do you think would be best? Thanks for your help!

pink & green!

Thanks Thope!

These are awesome! Especially the book! Would you mind sharing the template?!

Thope- your pictures are absolutely beautiful!!! Congratulations! Question- were the chairs included or did you pay an upgrade for them? (Normally I see the white plastic chairs and I don't like them, I would much rather have the chiavari (sp?) chairs like you did!)

Thanks so much for sharing Autumn!!! You are so amazingly creative!

Thank you SO VERY MUCH for sharing this!!! I will be sure to post pictures of my finished project! Thanks again!

Hi Ladies! I hope planning is going well for everyone! Has anyone made a welcome book for their guests? I am thinking about making one and wanted to see if any other EPM brides already had...

My dress has ruching and can't be ironed either- Yamina emailed me that they do have a steamer.

Hi Ladies! Has anyone put together a welcome/guest book for when the guests arrive at the resort? thope- I don't know what I'm putting in my guest bag yet- but I will be sure to post when I do! I did NOT want to do towels either. I bought them from target and only 16 took up a lot of space and were super heavy. They weren't that great of a quality and I decided it wasn't worth it. I want to put a welcome/guest book in each bag, but I haven't really gotten anything else. There is a thread on here about what people liked/used and didn't- you might want to check that out. All I know is whatever I do- I have to keep it cheap! FI is upset right now because I ordered custom hand painted maracas and he does not like to spend money!!! As for the bags, I ordered a pink/white beach bag for each the girls and a green pull-string backpack type bag for the guys. On the girls I will iron on my logo (below) but instead of our names I will put the girls name- I won't be doing this for the guys- I don't think they'd like it. On my bag I'm going to put "Mrs. D***" instead of "Jessica & Adam."

Congrats, Rebecca! I can't wait to see the pictures!

Ladies, I am so sorry, I have not been on here for a while to help you out! Diva- it looks like you solved your problems- your monogram looks great!

Snickers- congrats & welcome!

thanks so much!

Has anyone ordered a shirt from here too? If so which shirt and how was the quality? The linen shirt looks very thin/see through... before I order I would just like to know what everyone else is doing/has done! Thanks! Jessica

Thanks ladies!! It is really nice to have it checked off my list! Especially since I keep coming up with things to put it on! LOL!

Hi Ladies! I ordered some REALLY cute flip flops in my wedding colors from www.BowFlipFlops.com since my dress is ivory I was able to get them in ivory for a 3.50 up charge (I am including a pic, but it wouldn't let me attach as a jpeg) with my new last name initital and they were only about $27 (I think) and they are awesome! You are able to customize them in MANY different ways- she does the rhinestones too... check out her site! If you order from her, in the comments section put that Jessica Brodhead referred you!

Those are AWESOME! Thanks so much for sharing- I'm emailing you now!

I am a little bit nervous because I wanted to go with DJ Dormixx instead, but Yamina said they only work with Mannia Company. Had anyone used him before? Also, did Yamina mention to anyone that they cant confirm venue (aka X Lounge, etc) until a month prior to the wedding? Thanks ladies, happy planning. I am not sure about the DJ thing, we are just using our iPod. Also, Yamina said they can't confirm a venue until a month prior because that is when they know the availability of the locations. HTH, Happy Planning!

Too cute!

These are amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing! I am getting started on my own right now!

Thanks Ladies! I used powerpoint and fooled around on here getting templates/ideas from other brides. I also played around and downloaded some fonts. I am attaching the templates ("wedding logos"), should anyone else need them... I will also put my finals ("wedding logos final") with the one we decided on- in my siggy. After you pick your's it is good to "save as a JPEG" then crop it! (For some reason it took me a while to figure that out!) WeddingLogos.ppt Wedding Logos final.ppt

It's in my siggy... thoughts?
