Congrats! You'll find lots of info here to help with your planning! Enjoy!

You've done a great job!! For a fraction of the price too! This is exactly what I wanted for my wedding! I saw a picture also having them on each sides of the aisle and thought about having them there and then on the tables also. But maybe they'll be too small along the sides of the aisle. It doesn't look like there is anything at the bottom holding them down, I guess I'll try it to see if they float to the top or not! THANKS AGAIN for the post and pictures!!!!

Congratulations and Welcome! I'm sure your finance was flabergasted by your proposal, sounds like it was priceless! Glad to see you're on here, I wish my FI signed up and wanted to get movin on the planning as much as I did. For me, to pick my location was easier because I've travelled to all inclusives in Mexico, Cuba and Dominican Republic. But keep in mind that its your wedding, don't try to accomodate people you think will be coming because not everyone will. Think about what you want at your Destination and I think you'll be able to narrow it down quite quickly! Once you've picked a country or even a city to land in email the wedding coordinators to find out the packages they have to offer. Happy Planning!!

Thanks for posting where you got your monograms...I didn't even know where to start!

What a great idea! Thanks for posting this!

Wow, your OOT bags are great!! Thanks for all the info on where you got the goodies and how much they were!!

Welcome home Cara, CONGRATULATIONS!! Can't wait to read a review and see your pictures!!

Congrats! I think you'll find this forum very useful for you planning!!

Congratulations and Welcome!! I'm planning on getting married in January 2011 in Punta Cana and I have found so much information on this forum!! Let me know if you need any help with researching, I feel like I'm getting to know all of them way more then I need to! Good Luck! Happy Planning!!

Wow, they look FANTASTIC!!! I'm sure your guests will love them!!

Great job! They look fantastic!! Your guests will love them!!

Congrats and Welcome! I too am planning on getting married in January 2011 in Punta Cana but we haven't booked a resort yet I think you will find SOOO much info here if you haven't already!

Pam - Have a great time in Kananaskis this weekend..I'm super jealous!! My FI has to work all weekend or we would be going out too, snow, rain or shine!! I'll be studying this weekend and working on wedding stuff and a night out with the girls too! Aly - wow, you are REALLY nice to your 'problem guests' but if it I think if 3 people went that route, then it was worth your time and effort! You guys have given me soo much to think about with great advice and maybe prepare myself now(I don't think that you can be prepared enough) for all the situations that might arise. I'm waiting for some quotes from some agencies, so we'll see what they come back with....my fingers are crossed! Boo - Way to write that nasty letter, it payed off for you and I'm glad it did!! Have a great long weekend girls!! Lets hope the sun stays out!

I guess their big flipflop sale was in Feb! Too bad. Just didn't want anyone lining up at 7am on saturday when they dont have to. Have a great LOOOOOONG weekend! Thanks for letting us know the sale isn't on here in Canada, I had thought about going too!

Meghan, your pictures are beautiful!! I love your dress and the BM dresses totally suit them, its something I might look into going for. Thanks for sharing!!

My fiance and I got engaged on Christmas day and have now started to seriously look at setting a date for our wedding. The only problem is that we`re getting nowhere with our TA. It was so hard trying to pick a resort since we`ve never been to Mexico before so I just told her my requirements which sounds like everyone else. $1500 taxes included for a 4.5-5 star that allows for some water activities and good food. Instead of narrowing it down by price, she asked us to pick a bunch of resorts that interested us and she`d get us quotes. She is the one that told us the best time would be the first two weeks of May. (Her logic was based on process of elimination. Because prices would be high in December for holidays, then February is reading week, then March break, then Easter so that brings us to May. Which is before June which is hurricane season) So based on that, the best quote out of the 4 that she`s sent so far is Puerto Vallarta for May 7th. It`s $1589 all inclusive for Dreams Puerto Vallarta. Does anyone know if that`s a good price from Calgary I've travelled to PV for lower when I went but I think the Dreams there is 5star, right? It doesn't seem like a bad price but I think you might find it better still. Which company where your packages through? Which TA did you get a quote with? I'm waiting for my January quotes but we're going to the Dominican.

It will come when he's ready!! It'll be the best ever and well worth the wait! I wish I had started planning sooner so this forum will help you lots!! Might as well take a peek around to start the research!

Congratulations and Welcome!! I'm considering this resort as one of our final choices but just can't decide. I see how its tough to decide whether to have a private reception or not, maybe just think about how many people you'll have, I think that's what we'll do. We're getting married in January 2011 so I kind of just have to see what dates are left at most resorts, but it will definitely be in Punta Cana! Happy Planning!!

Sooo exciting getting stuff!! They both look great!!

Awesome find! Thanks for sharing!!

Which resort are you getting married at? Were the prices good now(because its so early)? I'm waiting to get some prices too and can't wait to see what they have to offer!! Which day are you getting married?? I don't have my date booked yet...soon, I hope!

Great job! They look real!!

Hi Angela, Welcome and Congratulations! I went to a wedding at Mandalay bay two years ago and it was beautiful!! They had an awesome photographer and their pictures came out beautiful!! You'll have a great time!!

I was thinking it would be a great idea to get $1 flip flops and put them in the OOT bags...but how do you know your guests shoe size?
