I am looking for custom polka dot satin ribbon where I can choose the dot colors, not add a name or anything. I want light turquoise and black which is hard to find.
-
Thanks! I wanted to buy in bulk
-
DOes anyone have a good source for colored card stock?
-
I bought mine here: Sand Dollars, Starfish and Seashells for sale and they were great.
-
whew, that was a pain. I put it in a word file because the biggest file size was 19kb which is too tiny. If anyone knows a better way to do this I will try it.

My daughter did Ava Maria , Beyonce's version. Her sister sang and it was perfect (for us)

I wish I could edit it and fix my typos!

I just bubble wrapped mine with a rubber band and they did fine

I wanted to write this review because when I was looking I couldnt find any reviews on here. My daughter was married April 12 2010 at 11:00 am. The weather was perfect. With the ocean breeze we weren't even hot. Afterwards she worse a white swim suit and veil in the pool. We partied it up all day then had a private dinner for 16 that night. WONDERFUL. We picked Secrets Capri for my daughters wedding because of two things. The two wedding planners Kristee and Martina's emails and the price. Some resorts seemed grouchy or would take days and days to answer questions. These two were so cheerful, positive and reassuring to my many many questions. They just sound like they love their job and are happy to help you. Kristee was on vacation when we got there, but Martina did a beautiful job. She even did a couple of extra touches that I didnt ask for...so nice. The ceremony site wasnt private but it was really pretty and we were so happy with it. We had an elderly guy in a speedo stand in our way of photos for awhile, but all of that was just funny. My other daughter sang as her sister came down the aisle and it was so beautiful. Everyone cried LOL. Our pics had some flaws, some had this green fence tarp in the background. I'm thinking the guy knew that we were getting the basic package and just snapped some up. I thought a lot of mine looked about as good. My daughter is happy with them so I won't complain much. Her bouquet was amazing!!!
Our private dinner had to be moved indoors because of a rain threat. I was disappointed at first, but it was GREAT. They were SOOO accomodating with 3 or 4 servers for our 16 guests. We had our own bar so no waiting on drinks. The food was delicious. They let us use our own ipod plarer and dance a little. I struggled with paying for a dinner at an all inclusive but the privacy and service was worth it.
On to the resort. Ive been to numerous all inclusives in Mexico. The food at this one was great. Probably the best food Ive had in Mexico. The service in the restaurants was REALLY slow. You have to adjust your attitude, drink up and deal. Our rooms were really nice, no musty smell. No liquor in the rooms but heck I needed to sober up by the time I hit the room everyday. They do put beer in the frig.
The wedding was all we dreamed of. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you Martina! ♥

Just got back April 15th. NO problemo's. I even had 20 starfish. I did take my USA receipt for those. I used them at our AHR when we got back.
-
We had covered chairs. I put the starfish with raffia on the back of the chairs with mirror two sided tape.

THANK YOU! we leave in the am!

somewhere I saw a cool thing about the history of the starfish. I think it was on a jewelry site. Has anyone seen it? I want it for my welcome brochure.
-

Matt THANK YOU so much for taking the time to help. Your photos are amazing! If this wasnt my daughters 2nd time we would have loved to spend more on photos. She just bought a house and is on a big budget. Mama aint payin this time LOL.

Thanks to everyone for the much appreciated advice! After talking to Jenine and the WC we are going to stick with the 11:00. This is her 2nd wedding and she is very relaxed about it. We only have 16 guests. Her BFF is an awesome hairdresser and she will be with us, so we dont have to do the salon thing. She has a white swim suit and a veil for the pool that day. She said she just didnt want everyone to have to go in early to get ready etc...we are doing the ceremony 1st thing and then partying it up the rest of the day. Our WC said she has done 11:00 am plenty of times and it was fine. She said 6:00 is the preferred, but some have chosen 11:00am. ALSO there arent any more weddings that day so we can switch it if we want to. I'm gonna go out there the day before and just see if it's horrible. Last night I had dinner with some girls, and guess what? One of them got marrid in Jamaica at 11:00 am!! LOL She said it was great because the whole day felt like a party. Thats what we like!! P A R T Y!! ☺

HELP?? LOL I'm doing it all!! Jenine hasnt even been on this board ha ha. With work she gets too stressed. She likes everything I decide, I dont even have to ask her!! I've had fun with it all. My son is getting married in Aug so I HOPE I get invited to help some with theirs. It will be a let down after spending 24/7 on this board. I saw on your links that you are dieting, thats prob the hair problem. I lost 35 lbs once and i had bald spots. MAKE SURE you eat enough protein and dont starve. Thats what did it to me.

YIPES!! Actually we suggested the time. Jenine wanted to do the wedding early and then feel free to party it up all day. Thank you for your help, I have to think on all of this!

thanks everyone. She wanted it early so we could all relax and have fun the rest of the day. She has a white swim suit and I made a cute little veil to wear in the pool all day. We have a dinner scheduled that night. Ok I need fans...

I didnt have any problems. I was more worried about bringing them back. I only paid $1 each so you could even leave them there. I needed them for our AHR. What I did was wrap them in bubble wrap and put in big zip locks because they stink. Then I put my receipt where I purchased them in the US on top of the bundle. I called customs before we went and she said I "think" you will be ok. Anyway we were fine and they looked great.
