MOONLIGHT$ 1199 USD SUNSET $ 799 USD SUNRISE $ 499 USD Extra hour of service $ 150 USD You all who got your hair/makeup done at the resort, what were your thoughts? Do you have any pics? Just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing before I book outside. Thanks! I was looking at the same thing and found this page on their website (Wedding Music, Wedding Photo, Wedding Photographer, Wedding Videos, Wedding Services|Real Resorts). I'm not 100% certain of how updated this info is though. SUNRISE: $ 499 USD Our service begins 15 minutes before the ceremony to capture such moments as the arrival of the guests, the beautiful bride, the groom and the wedding party. We then film the most emotional moments of the ceremony such as the exchange of rings and vows, signing the documents, spontaneous moments like tears of happiness, smiles and the first kiss as a new family. We continue with the cutting of the cake and the toast of the new couple. To follow up we take the groom and the bride to the beach and gardens alone. Service time included: 1 hour DVD Play time (edited): 30 minutes SUNSET$ 799 USD This package includes the same as SUNRISE plus the filming of a cocktail hour should your purchased package include a cocktail hour. After the ceremony, we take a group picture as well as portraits of family and friends at either the garden or beach locations. Service time included: 3 hours DVD Play time (edited): 45 minutes MOONLIGHT$ 1,199 USD This package is highly recomended for those weddings with a reception included. The package includes 6 hours of service. We film the first dance, the cutting of the cake and the all of the most important moments. Last but not least, we will individually record and film all of the guests congratulating you. This adds an emotional and unique touch to your wedding video memories. Service time included: 6 hours DVD Play time (edited): 60 minutes REMARKS: All of our packages include 1 DVD professionaly edited. Extra hour fee $200 USD each.

there's a lot to go through on the forum, but you'll find it so handy in your wedding planning. from choosing a resort to things you've never heard/thought about! happy planning & see you around!

Thanks for all the positive feedback ladies! I thought about moving the one with the bold words a little off centred but got sleepy, so I'll give it another go tonight and that should hopefully be it! yay! i think this is the keeper. for those looking to try out illustrator, you can download a trial copy from Adobe - Downloads it's not that hard once you've played around with it. there are tons of tutorials on adobe.com, youtube or google. that's how i learned...lots and lots of google....

Okay ladies! I'm back after a full reformat of my computer - darn Vista! (thank goodness for external hard drives!) So it looks like this font I chose does not have a Bold option, so I managed to use the Stroke effect on AI to mimick a bold. I've also moved the names and palm trees a bit. It actually looks a lot sharper as a vector but after converting to a jpg, it's not as sharp... I've also attached the first one so you can compare side by side. Better, worse, change some more? Thanks for your help ladies, this was crazy but fun and I've learned something new!

what a great idea! i love that the sticker is removable so guests can use again as they wish after they're returned home. thanks for sharing!

yay! my first few orders from vistaprint came today! free STDs, pens & totes! i think i might do a 'shoes optional' small lawn sign .... lol, so tempting when they put "FREE" in huge block letters on the emails to you.....

Yay! I think I've now done my monogram now! Trying to teach myself Adobe Illustrator turned out to be a fun but stressful time. At one point, I was thinking I was in WAY over my head! Especially when my computer died! Stupid Vista! Wouldn't load - kept asking me to Please Wait .... a hour of waiting later, no change. stupid extended warranty didn't cover because it was a software issue. had to DIY the reformatting and reinstall everything. so glad it's over and done and I have a working computer again! funny how much we've grown to rely on electronics

to all the fun! congratulations & happy planning!
