I would love the Spa and Cove shots! My email address is [email protected]. Thank you so so much!

We are going to do OOT bags but I think I am going to buy the bags ahead of time, but then go to the Walmart in Play Da Carman once I get down there and load them up with room snacks and other use things. This way I dont have to load up my suitcase.

         Description Unit Price Total Price To Match Picture Bamboo lights (structures) 4 $ 150.00 $ 600.00 Hanging paper lantern to décor dancefloor (10 mts) 2 $ 180.00 $ 360.00      Labor-Load in/load out, transportation 1 $ 250.00 $ 250.00   I got the above quote and photos from them. They seem hella expensive. I wanted strings of lanters and the lanterns on a pole, with four stakes/lanters coming out of them. (Viewable in photo)  After getting these prices I am bring down 50 lanterns along with battery lights and fish string. I bought it all for under $100. Plus I can use them for my AHR. I dont mind paying for things ,but I feel the appove prices are just not a good deal.

Those looks great. Nice work!

Those look awsome! I never heard about that site before. Thank you so much for posting. Are the bottles real glass?

Oh thats such a disappointment. I am sure you have been waiting for a while for it to come in. I would think because it is a rather well known company they would let you return it. Especally if its an issue because it doesnt look like it should in the photo. Thats not a size issue, thats a "Company Takes Inaccurate Photos". Â I bet you can work with them on this issue. Maybe at least you could get them to allow a trade for another dress if their are any you like.

Nice find! I completely forgot about looking for OOT stuff at Michaels. I have gotten into the habit of trying to find everything online. Good idea!

Congrats and Welcome! I do not know much about the area you are getting married in ,but I am sure you should be able to get/find some good help on this site =)

Congrats and Welcome!

Awsome! Congrats, I have not been there but from photos the resort looks breath taking!

I dont really get being a Palace Resort Member thing....Do you pay to be in it? Is it a timeshare thing?

We did not have to put down a deposit on the blocks of room. We DID have to pay for our room in full. Also when guests book rooms threw that link I showed you yesturday they have to pay the first 2 days. They pay for the rest when they get down there. Â In regards to the Palace Dollars. You are correct with the only paying for yourself. So if you want to be the one paying for your guests you would have to pay in real cash. Â Â

Wow that dress is amazing! I love love love the bottem of it. Congrats. I would love to be able to pull something like that off.

You so need to explain the bad experience with a garter toss! Â

I really like those =)

We are going to do ours in about a month. If you do yours before that let me know how they turn out! and pictures =)

You could probably use resort dollors for the mani/pedi's =) Â I also am planning on getting a free reception and then paying for the cocktail party. I think it comes to $600

 I did not work with a travel agent. I booked everything myself. I heard some girls had a hard time getting their benifits because of working with a TA. Make sure you get a contract signed or they dont have to give them too you.  What I posted is from our actual contact we signed. I believe we told them that we thought we were going to book. It doesnt have to be perfect. We told them it would be about 20 rooms between the dates for Feb. 11 - Feb 21th and that they were going to be split between the Cove and Spa side. They where happy with this answere. We have people coming early and some coming late for short times. So we just did the block for that 1.5 week span. Guests can book as they want, you just need an estimate for the hotel.  After I gave them this information she put it into a contract with rates. When it was signed by both partys she gave me a link where people can sign up. Guests MUST sign up threw this link or they will not count toward our "booking benifits".  If you want to see what my link looks like you can visit it here....  https://www3.palaceresorts.com/Groups/ReservationV4.aspx?GroupID=40160  Â

I am wearing a medium sized birdcage as well with feathers. I am going to wear a small two string pearl neckless. I am not sure about the earings. I want my hair to be down so I am not sure if you can see the ears. Â I really want to wear the neckless to break up my neck a little bit. I have a strapless dress, and I am not too found of my shoulders.

We are going to be doing real wax seals, You can buy the supplies pretty cheap at Michael's. They even have a "D" for my new last name...Drew =) Â We are going to be using 2 envelopes

I kind of want to do the free package ,but the FI wants the purple one. An extra 2300 we dont have to pay would make the total of our trip very reasonable.

I know just what wedding your talking about, Tals and Someone's.... I already have implimented their "All White Wedding Idea" I thought it looked sooooo amazing. I loved it. I really want the cosmic wedding but the FI wants traditional. Does your FI want one? If so you will have to let me know how you got him to do that. Also my secondary color is purple...Will look hot with the all white. I booked Del Sol as well. We will have to chat!
