Congrats and welcome. happy planning!

Welcome and congrats. This is the best site to give you the info you need last minute.

They are beautiful and look very real! Size is perfect. If you are a short petite woman you don't want anything bigger as it will hide the wedding gown and take away focus.

The Now Jade Riviera Resort in Mexico is beautiful! Congrats and happy planning.

thanks for the suggestion

What a great job, they look fantastic. Would you mind sending me a pm with the wording. I am getting married in mexico but love this idea and would like to see in full how you put it together. What size envelope did you use to send them out? thanks a bunch for sharing!

Hello and welcome to the forum!

Welcome and congrats! This will be your new addiction over the next year lol Happy planning!

It is my goal (We will see if it happens to know what 80% of the guest list is doing by the new year) I was thinking of doing a Remember or Thank you for booking in Christmas cards this holiday season. i got engaged june 12th, skipped the save the dates and sent out invitations on July 7th for both the DW and AHR with detail sheets for both and the rsvp had both events and asked for a reply to either or both by September 15th as that is the date the deposit needs to be paid for the DW to guarantee space and pricing. Call me crazy but i didn't want to do STD, Invites for DW with RSVPS then have to do it all over again. i know it's a little early for people to commit to the AHR on July 2nd but i figured either you're coming or your not lol Most people take a vacation every year so those people would just make that theirs and the other who normally don't just have to decide if it's in their budget and if not then attend the AHR. Oh and i am only doing thank you cards once after the AHR. Going to also give those coming to the DW a pre travel brochure and a welcome letter in their room. That's alot of correspondence!!! But i guess people need details right?

I am still up in the air on this one but i think i am leaning towards NOT! I plan i giving starfish wine stoppers and a maraca per couple already plus an organza bag with petals on the seat for the ceremony with hand held battery operated fan. Also plan on maybe giving out pre travel brochures and a welcome letter in their room. i think that is enough but I am loving all the cute things i see to put in the bags but i think this is more for me then them lol Budget is getting a little much so leaning more towards not!

Welcome and happy planning. I love Carnival! Went on the Legend from Tampa in March and loved it!

Congrats. Only about 50 or so more for me. Can't wait!

I am bringing my own photographer as well and I asked Pilar if I could swap the photographer for the videographer from the package and pay any difference and I was told no. WHAT!!! that is crazy. I was initially dealing with Pillar but since Sandra came back from mat leave I was reassigned to her. Thank God! I am not taking the resort photographer with the Devine Package which is an upgraded photographer package from the other packages and getting 2 extra hour of videography. If you are taking the devine package you should ask for the same thing or talk to Sandra. If you have another package then maybe that is why. Good Luck!

Hi there I posted this then realized there was another thread for 2011 brides so come join us there. Congrats and welcome! Also there is a toronto bride get together thread also with one coming up next Aug 5th i think if you are interested in coming. It's a bbq. It will be my first time too!

If we don't end up finding anything in canada that is cheaper amols works out to about 2.50 per maraca which still isn't bad. I may even ship to family in clearwater fla that will be coming and just ask them to bring for me. The minute you order less than 12 paid the price goes up a bit to about 3.50 a maraca, still not too bad i guess.

Let's have everyone sign up below for something they would like to bring: Appetizers Salad Main Kabobs - Sarah Dessert -Lisa-any special requests? No allergies Can someone fill me in on the time and location. Maybe send me a pm so i don't miss it. Thanks and looking forward to meeting you ladies!

I have added her to my facebook so i will ask for you. She is on here too somewhere. I can't remember her name right now but if you search oscar nunez you will probably find the post where she offers to have you add her. Wasn't it great. I wonder how many hours of filming that was? I have him for 3 hours cause i am not using the photographer. i was told by the resort that i can split up that time too. yay Don't you just love the firedancers? There aren't cheap thought. $1000 for a performance. yikes!

I love this idea, where do you get these frames from?

Woooohooooo half way to member status. Boy this takes alot of time and work But it sure is fun reading all this stuff! Wish I would have found this site before i sent my invites out cause i created them myself and they are no where near the cute creative stuff i have seen here.

Welcome to your new addiction. This place has everything you can think of. Happy Planning!
