I was thinking not till september, but now after reading your posts I feel like I should do them sooner...also do I send invitations to people, even though Im pretty sure they're not coming what is the etiquette for this? I have heard mixed reviews about the resort photog. One thing I know is they are very expensive! Im using Adrian Herrera. His work is great and his prices are reasonable. What are you planning on doing for music during the reception? I have been in a back in forth fight with my WC regarding DJ's and outside vendors. The resort is charging unreasonable prices for just about everything. Thats awesome that you already have 32 people booked!! How did you do that?! I feel like you have a good amount of people booked so you might not need an early RSVP date. I have one person booked so Im making my RSVP date for July. Im sending out invitations to people that I know wont come, just because I dont want to be rude. Even if they dont attend the wedding, they might even send you a wedding gift because they were invited.

Last DJ/music question: Did you get the 1 speaker or 2 speaker package? If I end up doing the Ipod thing for music, Im wondering if 1 speaker will be loud enough for a private event. Thanks again!!!

It's basically like having a DJ only you got to pick each and every song you wanted played. We were really really happy with the decision to go this route. But on the other hand, we never even listened to the DJ, saw their work, etc so I'm not sure how bad or good they would've been, kwim? The Mexican Trio we had for one hour (cocktail). I think it's was about $450/hour. Im going with Adrian Herrera. I really wanted Del Sol but their price was double my budget. I think I read about how satisfied you and other brides were with using your Ipods, I have considered it, but that price is still steep. Did you have to give the people operating the equipment an itinerary of events so they knew what songs to play when? Was the experience like a DJ where a DJ would make announcements and kinda keep the party moving smoothly. My concern is I will be spending too much time telling them, "now we have to do this." "Now we have to do that." "Can you play this right now?" etc. Also, out of curiosity, is Dulce at the reception making sure things are running smoothly? Or do we just have to make sure everything get done ourselves? Knowing me, Ill be having so much fun I might forget to cut the cake or give myslef time for the bouquet toss! LOL Thanks for your help!

memories: high school

I did read that somewhere, I completely forgot about that. It makes sense. I think Im just going to hire the photog and not say anything. Im not happy about going with their DJ or even renting equipment from them just to set up an Ipod. I cant justify $550 just to hook up my Ipod. If Dulce ever gets back to me Im going to fight it. *Thanks to everyone who helped me make a decision on this photog situation!*
