  1. I finally got a reply back from Ana. She said that she is making a marketing film for the resort and will be back in the office on Monday. I got my confirmation # and all that. Regarding the food, I had asked if we could have two entree options (since some people don't eat meat and other don't eat fish etc.) if I provided her with the numbers for each entree before our arrival. She said that it was okay as long as I would let her know ahead of time, how many of each entree we wanted (fish or meat) but she said that if we will be more than 50 ppl we will have to go with the buffet. I am very happy with that answer, since I will def. choose the buffet if we get that many guests. We just got our first RSVP today (4ppl) and we haven't even sent out the STDs yet. Yay!!!
  2. I thought it said 3 hours in the package, but I would have to double check that. I am still waiting for a reply from Ana regarding my conf # and an answer about having different entree options for the reception. I sent another email last night, reminding her that she still hasn't responded. Nothing so far....
  3. I just got my order, 5 days early!! (or 7 if you count the 14 days it was supposed to take) I'm not happy with the colors on some things, but I guess that is what happens when you see the colors on a screen. Overall, everything looks great!!
  4. I have sent you a PM. Sorry for the delay, I haven't been on here as much since the subscriptions disappeared it is a hassle.

  6. I just sent you the email with prices and her info. I always email her but I think there is a toll free number too now that I think about it. Let me know if you need it or have any more questions. The price T&A got was a lot higher than the one I got, but like she said it was a while ago.
  7. Lisa, I will send you an email tonight w the prices my TA gave me for land only. She gave me the prices for April too. On my phone right now, but will send it when I get home.
  8. Yeah, our problem was that half of our guests are coming from Europe and are traveling sat to sat and most of the other guests are traveling from the southern states. After a lot of thought we decided to have the ceremony on a Wednesday.
  9. Contracts Erin! Keep posting Kristie! I still haven't heard from Ana, will email her again later today. Let me know if anyone wants me to ask her something and I'll add it to the email.
  10. I'm sending mine without envelope. I want to keep the real postcard feeling. I'm sending some of them across the world, but I don't think they will be damaged. I get postcards all the time from all over the world and they normally look great when I get them. So I will send them out and cross my fingers
  11. Ginger, It seems as most Canadian travelers buy the air+ hotel packages rather than but both separate. Is this always a lot cheaper than just buying the flight and arrange for the hotel by yourself? Not that $3000 is cheap :S But you know what I mean. Â The Now Jade has a sister resort too called Now Sapphire, it looks very pretty as well.

I must go check it out. I'm going to Mexico for Christmas this year for ten days and have not booked a resort yet. It's all about the price this year.  G Here is the link to the resort I chose http://www.nowresorts.com/jade/ It has changed management a few times, was called NH Paradisius or something like that before I think.  I'm jealous that you get to go to Mexico for Christmas to do a site visit. That will help a lot for sure!
  13. magirl, you have to sign up for emails on their site and they will start sending you emails with offers of free stuff (like everyday after you sign up)
  14. Nan, there is a thread called "Share your ceremony script" (I think that is what it is called) and you can get all kinds of inspiration there. Â Mrs. Williams, we're not paying for anyone either. Unless I win the lottery haha!
  15. Girls, I had the same problem with the t-shirt until I noticed that if I added it to my cart it would automatically chose their premium t-shirts (which were 50% off and not free) without saying so. I had to go back to the email and click on the link Free T-shirt and it would take me to the free designs, couldn't find one I liked there so I skipped it. For the free tote bag I had to go back to the email again and open a new window. The good thing is that your shopping cart remains the same no matter on how many windows you open. Not sure if there is an easier way to do this, but I couldn't find one.
  16. Thanks Lisa for the map and Michelle for the photos! I haven't heard anything from Ana either.
  17. MPopp, I sent you a PM about the bamboo room pics. I'd love to see all pics that you have!
  18. Either I'm typing slow or my computer is really slow haha! My posts show up much later than I submit them. I'm excited to see the pics of the bamboo room FutureMrsHolt!
  19. I think the fee for the chairs are ridiculous, it seems like they would be easier for them to set up too so it doesn't make sense. I will take whatever chairs I get for free and make the best of it. Â CherryColaLola, I'm using the bamboo room and I think Lisa is as well. I haven't thought much about decorations yet but I need to come up with something to make it cozier. I'm Swedish (that's my excuse hahah) so I don't know what poms are and can't help you with that. Â I still haven't heard from Ana regarding the food choices. I don't know how many guests we will have, if more than 50 I will go with the buffet option. If less than 50 I will fight the replacement/change fee for sure. I just ordered the STDs yesterday so hopefully I will have an idea of how many people are coming after we send them out.

Our WCs seems to be ignoring everyone, still waiting for my confirmation, they charged my account so I'd like to get a receipt. I haven't thought about ceremonies yet, but knowing my FI we will keep it as simple as possible The next thing on my list is to put down the deposit on our room, finalize the website and make my invitations and find a part-time job *deep sigh* to pay for all of this haha! Â
  21. Welcome Amy! Â I just ordered out STD postcards (and a bunch of other stuff) from Vistaprint, can't wait to see them!! One thing to check off the list, my planning is a little slower than everyone else's but it is moving forward haha!
  22. OMG! Vistaprint is addictive!!! I just ordered: - a "bride" hat - magnetic notepad - pen - STD postcards - tote bag for me - envelope seals - return address labels  I had to pay for the extra envelope seals I wanted (only 24 free) and uploading my own pictures for the STD (50% off though) and shipping. I guess shipping is how they make their money, very expensive, but for all that I'm getting it is worth it.
  23. FutureMrsHolt, I can't wait to see more pictures when she gets back!! Â I sent Ana an email yesterday asking about entree choices. I would like to be able to offer my guests two options, since some of them don't eat meat and others don't eat seafood/fish. Has anyone else asked the WCs about this?

We picked the background image for the front and he designed the rest. So to answer at least one of your questions, I did upload both the front and the back as images. I got the postcards in the mail about a week ago and they turned out pretty great, just wish they were a little bigger. I am sending them out this week and can't wait to get feedback! Those who have already seen them love them too! Good luck. If there is anything else I can do just ask.  ~Maritza  Thanks! It is okay, I did come up with a design that I like so I am ordering them today Â
