I really like it!!! Â Perfect plus we can meet up for a drink prior too!

Let me know when you in town and we can all get together!  I am paying for Caribe but also my mom is a photographers and I know she will take the artsy pics I really like  Thanks for the feedback on this one. I planned on a song that is about 2min  Plaza Zavas for my reception Papapa Yoga for my Welcome Party the day before!  Your really close to me. You welcome to watch if you want to get any last minute ideas or advice  WELCOME!! We have added a ton of newbies!

Check out the Petit Gourmet Buffet package in the Private Banquet packet. That is what we are using for our reception Â

LOVE IT!!! Â

We are totally skipping the cake My FMIL thinks we need it but i don't. We have a dessert buffett so if i have to I will cut a piece of cheesecake for a photo opt Â

WELCOME! The other lovely ladies can tell you for sure about the fall and the pros and cons but the only big one I can think of is Hurricane Season and that would increase your chance of rain but those are so few and far between

I am May 15th! Â

The Resort is letting me bring my own IPOD Home Deck which i have used for many a party here so that is what I am going with for the Welcome Party  For the reception I rented their sound system for $250 Originally Posted by rkf1046 I am also using an Ipod for all the events and I was curious how you girls using Ipods were going to announce yourselves at the reception if at all? I have planned a cocktail while we take pics and then I assumed we would be announced at the reception but as I was reading about the ipods I just realized who does that if you aren't getting a DJ. Any thoughts? ideas? You can rent a $250 sound system from them that comes with a mic. I have a friend coming to the wedding who is a DJ so he is going to serve as my MC for the evening Â

For my Welcome Party I am bring my own Ipod Deck For My ceremony my Ipod and I am renaming the songs so they say Procession Song 1, Bride Song, Recessional. My WC assures me that they do it hundreds of times a year and it will be good. For my reception the DJ wasn't in my budget but a friend of ours who is coming is a DJ so I rented the Sound system and mic from the resort ($250) and he is bringing his Ipod and laptop and will be our MC for the evening. Jamie, What part of Houston do you live in? I live in midtown

It so weird how sometimes you get inspired all of the sudden out of no where to figure out a task for the wedding. Last night I was playing around on Itunes and all of the sudden i was inspired to figure out the processional and what I am walking down the aisle to. I already knew what I wanted to walk down with my brother to so I just needed a song for the seating of the parents since we don't have a bridal party. Ended up in the bagpipe music (Weird I know) I found a really short version of Scotland the Brave by the NYFD Pipe and drum core. Since my step dad is primarily Scottish and a professional firefighter and in my little girl wedding of my dreams there was always going to be bagpipes. I listen to that then segued into my song with my brother and it just seemed perfect. Are bagpipes too weird for mexico wedding. I swear I wasn't drinking LOL Â Sorry just had to share and get thoughts since you ladies understand better than anyone

Was it pretty true to size? Â

Where did youget the TTD?

LOVE all of it! Great Job girl!!!

I don't think it's too soon for Invitations. I sent mine out 2 weeks ago

We are doing a pretty standard buffett at Azul Sensatori I think it's called the Petit Gourmet Buffet. You get small portions of about 25 different things Â

1. There are tons of different options for receptions with sit down dinners. Your WC from the resort will walk you thru it 2. I would look at several of the packages. They have a free one now as well 3. I think Gi makes their money on a kick back from the resort but I didn't use them as My travel Agent 4. They have a bunch of private event packages - PM you email and I can send you the Banquet Kit - I am having a welcome party and a reception 5. For a vaugue group of pricing check out Lomas Travel. It's a good way to budget but then know you can custom anything 6. I would go to GI if you plan on using them as your travel agent. If you are using another travel agent go straight to a wedding consultant. Â Congrats and WELCOME! This thread and ladies are the BEST Â

CONGRATS and welcome! I'm on May 15th 2011! Â I was just thinking. Thank goodness I found this forum back at page 700 Â Will it help to make a list on here and we can encourage you everytime you get a task done

 I went with Buffet cause I am guessing I am going to have 50 - 80 people and it just made a tad more sense Â

I went with Cairbe Photographer just to have one because we are lucky that 2 of our guests coming are former pro photographers. I am using Cairbe for the family functional type photos then my two guests are going to do some artsy ones or candids  If it makes you all feel better 6 nights for our group in the lowest suite came out to $990 without Air I am banking on about $350 - $450 for airfare Â

Love the Script! Great Job and so Beautiful! Â

Girl, I can honestly say that you are not crazy and I went thru a 2 week period back when the resort wasn't finalized and I would cry everynight or get mad and I felt like this wasn't fun and I should never have done it, yada yada. My FI thought I was INSANE. Â Then the resort got finalized and I was happy: Then I found and bought a dress and was happy and positive. Loved my invitations so positive. Â Then I sent my invites out. It was like a cold slap of reality that now we have to do this hell or highwater. No turning back and I freaked out a little again. (Let me clarify I am not freaking out about my marriage to my FI. He is 100% the person I want to be with for the rest of my life married or not) I was freaking out about the actual wedding and would people like it, would they think it was too expensive, would somethig go wrong, look at all the crap I have to do but i can't do yet cause it's too far out. WHEW I was a ball of nerves for a day or 2 Â Then I got all the wonderful emails about how great the invites looks, and how excited everyone was to come and I realized that this is going to be one of the BEST times in my life and my family and friends life and in the end it will all come together. Even if it isn't the exact way I imagined it how can you mess it up. You gotta a beach, a man you love, a slammin dress and lots of food and booze. Â Hang in there. It does get fun again! Â PS I took one of Jamie's pics and made it my desktop, I find that helps as well! Maggie Â

I like the all brown one with the TYPE font

These are AWESOME

Can you email me the full album? [email protected] Â

Thank you so much for this! You got pics of all three locations I was looking for and I have a much better Idea now! Your the best!  Glad to hear that the food was great! Makes me feel so much better  We went with the Prem Swim up for all the previous reasons the girls have stated! Â
