Welcome! It looks like you atleast narrowed it down. I choice Mexico, Riveria Maya. Aventura Cove and Spa. We are having a larger wedding in Feb, 18th 2011. I really wanted an area with no casino. Which they dont have in this area.

Welcome..Hmm There is a ton of good information here ,but I am not sure if anyone has posted a hotel comparison chart. I wish I would have had one =) It was a pain to pick a hotel. probably the most stressful part so far.

Welcome...I am getting married in Feb, 2011 in Rivieria Maya at the Aventura Cove and Spa. their are tons of great places in the area. I am sure you will find something you love.

40 people is a perfect ammount! Not too many ,but enough to have the majority of the family their. We are getting married at the Aventura Cove and Spa in Riviveria Maya. It is perfect for larger groups, but isnt too comerical. We want something with culture as well. Also if you book more then 75nights...you get free private events, and 7 days in mexico.

Congrats and happy planning! and Welcome

I got my dress. Its a shorter tea lengh dress. We registered at Crate & Barral, Target and Home Depot. I sent out the STD's in March. Booked the hotel and photographer. I have picked out decorations and accessories ,but havnt purchased them yet. I am holding off on invites as well. We have I think 45 nights booked so far.

So hopefully everything will be as wonderful as I imagined when I arrive. Omg YAY! I can't wait wait wait for more ASP Bride photos and reviews. Have you posted your wedding planning thread yet? Also, Did Matt contact you recently for an update / prep for your wedding? Are you using them for your makeup and hair?

Hmm you could try to do a search on her. There should be a post of the forums. The name sounds very fimilar..which is probably a good thing. I swear I read good reviews, however Del Sol was the first photographer I looked at, and I booked them right away so I really didn't look into or evaluate other photogapher. Looking back I think I made the right choice, but I wish I would have researched it a bit more.

Good luck on your search and post pictures when you can I had always wanted a longer dress too. I still do ,but everyone that I have tried on looks goofy on me. The tea length really looks better on me too. I thought the FI would want a traditational dress, but he loves the idea of a short one.

Beatiful Dress! to bad there isnt a 1 in front of the zero =)

They turned out awsome! Congrats

I believe I have sent the envolope indesign template to everyone who has emailed me. If you need it and use indesign email me at [email protected]. Apparently you can't post indesign files on here and my zip files don't seem to dowload correctly. I am not sure why. Attached is the envolope PDF I sent to the printers. The guides are a little bit of a pain to make. So feel free to use it and save some time. Please post your results if you do! SaveTheDate_Envolopes.pdf

Thanks so much for sharing. Everything looks great! Your BD book is hot lady

I love everything.... that black pattern on a lot of your stuff is great and really ties everything together. You must have spent a ton of time on everything! Congrats!

They are rather expensize. $2800 for 4 hours, But all the photos are editted and you get the files. As a designer, thats a big deal to me. Plus they do AMAZING work! My Wedding is in Feb. I am not sure when I am going to send out the invites. I wanted to do it 2 months ahead, but that puts it in the Christmas Card Rush. Maybe I'll Do it First thing in Decemeber.

I would so be interested. Would you want to do Future Hubbys to or just ladies?

They are perfect! love them
