I actually have 3 different pair 1 for ceremony 1. for first half reception 1 for second half of reception I have a waist sash with my dress and I am changing it out to match the color of the shoes I am wearing at that time

I got a package thru Caribe Photographers but I lucked out too as well because 2 of my guests are professional Photographers and have offered to help out. http://www.caribephoto.com/ I got the package for 3 hours I figure 3p-6p that will cover the ceremony and the photos after as well as the first hour of dances and such at the reception. Before and After that I am going to depend on my guests that have offered. AlsoIt was all I could do with my budget. I hope that helps!

I use Shutterfly normally THANKS! I would be one of those crazy people with my dogs in my wedding if we weren't going to Mexico

So in lieu of dragging more stuff to Mexico, I made these cute postcards as our "Favors" at the reception (Seperate from the OOT bags) I worked all afternoon. Good Thing work is SLOW. We are going to just make a donation to little rescue we found our two dogs Vistaprint ROCKS

GUEST BOOK OPTION I got one of there posters made on Etsy. Cute Idea http://www.etsy.com/transaction/45130457

The other thing you could do is post that your looking for rooms on those dates. When i had an extra room i couldn't get rid of I emailed everyone around my date to see if they needed it. The opposite might work as well ? If I remember I believe its $100 per sheer for white and $150 per sheer for color Here is what I did for a guest book! Found it on ETSY http://www.etsy.com/transaction/45130457

Got mine and they are perfect and that company was QUICK!!!

Ginnigurl, Try FUNJET.com I managed to slide 5 more couple in on Funjet after my group contact at AS told me it was sold out! I would say yes to count him in your final Number

When I researched bringing out own material for the 12 Meters by 1.5 It was honestly the same price or close to just renting them from Azul. I was a bit pissed at the $150 a sheet price but in the end for the ease of it I just rented them. HA I can't take the credit for that table. that was another brides. I am just going to try to recreate it My wedding isn't till May. I did find out that the table runners are $7 a piece to rent if that helps. I am still waiting on a price for the vases

I knew it would work out! That is AWESOME!!!!

Missing anyone?

Ladies, Just a side note. If you need a good toning workout to get in bikini/wedding shape. Try Crossfit! I started this week and it's hard but I can tell it's going to be perfect for the shape I want to get in

I think you will be good! I am in a simular situation so what I did is I just scrapped my "colors" and went monochrome blues and greens with white and khaki. It all looks good so far. I think with the ocean and sand you and those colors will do great!!!

Had one of those get things done kinda days wedding wise! 1. Got all the thanks you notes for all the presents from the bachlorette done 2. Picked up the wedding band 3. Got all my undergarments for the wedding dress 4. Ordered the final pair of shoes for my welcome party 5. started organized outr spare room with all the wedding stuff 6. had my FMIL push my buttons but didn't loose my cool! Good Day

LOVE THOSE!!!!!

@murmel - That is exactly about what I am looking for!!!!

I think instead of big floral centerpieces we are going to do ome nicely framed menus and table numbers. Go minimalist since I want to use the money we would have spent on centerpieces elsewhere

Thanks for the heads up and Just ordered mine!!! Thanks!!!!

ALL Fixed!
