  1. We are at PP in 2012 and our guests are flying out of Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver. I had a heck of a time finding someone who would affordably put together the group pricing, it seems as though transat handles the PP so does westjet, prices for a week run around the 2000-2500 pp double adult depending on the time of year, those are package deals it has been a process, good luck!
  2. These look awesome, I just finished our save the dates, they arent half as detailed as these and they were hard! so I am very impressed and I am sure your guests will be as well
  3. We are planning a day trip to conzumel for some sight seeing but mostly diving, we are also spending at least a day at Xcaret, and visiting the Ruins, the area is so diverse with so many interestig things to do I am very certain we will spend more time away from the hotel in it than in it. Becuase of all the places we want to visit we actually decided to make our stay for the wedding two weeks instead of 1.
  4. I completely understand, we have three kids, 11,14,16 and u not only need a place where they are safe, but occupied, we went through all of the opinion forums and talked to friends, we are still planning to take a trip out, but found that the RIU the Palaces and the Iberostars were about the best in terms of opinions and everything they offered, we opted for the Playacar Palace, because the reviews of the customer service, the reviews from brides on this forum and the really great price but also because it is located right in Playa del Carmen and I thought that would be awesome for the kids.
  5. lol thank you all please dont think I do nothing, and the rest of his family dont support this, his mother is beside herself and FI does and has both confronted her and refuse to do things with her, Family events are family events my thing is I feel stupid letting her get to me, its ridiculous that I get so hurt by her bs, and I am at the point where I want to smack her but that is not my idea of a fun family event. I try very hard to make sure the kids never notice this discord and dont want to let them see that kind of negativity. At this point I really just want to give her an in your face, lol I did make sure to note my 3c diamond is much much prettier than hers and ummmmm I'm a princess...lol
  6. I found this area for venting and am I ever glad. My FSIL is insane. Yes I said it, insane. I met my soon to be five years ago, he was abit of a player in the begining, and I was clear, I dont like to share or play well with others. He fixed all his crap and came back and while its not disney around here we have a pretty decent life. Over the last five years she has been snotty catty and downright rude. Now I believe u marry the man you marry his family, you have no choice family is forever and I have tried so hard to make things at least bearable with this woman. She called my house and asked my FI to come over and help put up fencing. He arrived and there was no fence there were drinks and one of the "ex" gf's instead. She has told my mother in law I am bad for the kids as a clinical psychologist with a specialty in juveniles I would do nothing but screw up the kids head.. WTF! If FI goes out with her she insits on going to a bar and constantly tries to convince him to leave me or at the very least meet this lovely lady. I pretty much lost it when she invited another one of his exes to a family meal, this woman had made my hell stalking the FI and supporting stupid behavior, I walked into the SIL house and there she was at the xmas dinner. At that point I just snapped I said I am sorry I cant stay I am not feeling well, I will make it up to you by having dinner next week at our house...my theory at the time was I will invite the woman her husband cheated on her with. I didnt cause that is cold but I did indicate I would not be attending any more of her "events" When we told her we want to get married on the Mayan Riv she said she would come but not to expect her at the resort we choose, flat out said she thinks noelle has no taste and where I choose will likely not be to her liking. Today she pretty much crossed all the lines she told my FI she feels sorry for him as he works so hard and he had nothing, we may not be the wealthiest people in the world but for heavens sakes we have three very spoiled kids, we have our home I think we are doin pretty good. she then went on to tell the FI that it is ridiculous to put out invitations for our wedding its not like its a big deal or anthing just doing a beach thing not gonna be an actual event noted her wedding was an "event" that required planning and thought but this is just a quicky wedding....IT IS SO ON, I mean I get that it is petty and small and I get it is lowering myself to her level, but at this point this wedding is going to blow her mind I want it to be amazing and I am going to go to any lengths I can to make it mind blowing on the budget I have. I guess I am just petty
  7. Hi everyone, I have been scouring this site for weeks while starting to do my planning. It has been a long time since I planned a wedding and I am trying to achieve a champagne wedding on a beer budget. There are just so many different ideas I felt totally overwhelmed, but I knew I wanted something different, full of family and fun but still with that wow factor. I created a DVD that included photos from the last Five years we have been together. This has all been a learning curve for me, and at times a funny process where my 11 year old is trying to teach me how to use different parts of a computer. Anyway please take a peek and let me know what you think, I am nervous. I have posted the vid on my oldests youtube account so that I can show it to you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HSKMY_LYIU I created the dvd cover after seeing another one that was very similar on here making it a cover instead of a card, I am using handmade papers in onion leaf and copper and we lightscribed the dvd. Its a four minute video but I really hope you can let me know what you think
  8. This is a concern to me as well, there is a wedding scheduled at 3 and then mine is at 4, my concern was how do you clean up after one and get the other set up on time, I was assured that it is not only possible they do it all the time, but have to admit I would like to know if anyone has experience with it as well
  9. I didnt check on lighting, but I did call the hotel and ask about food, if you are having a private affair, they will make to suit your needs, I am having mine on the beach but want to bring my own draping for the huppah and they have no issue putting up the ones I bring. They seem to be incredibly open to doing anything to help make the day perfect, there is of course a price for each thing...lol
  10. I have found an amazing photographer in winnipeg, he is truely able to capture the essence of a person, Curtis Moore http://www.moorephotography.ca http://www.mooreblog.ca
  11. We have booked February 2, 2012 at PP, just getting all the details ironed out, I am from Canada and it seems to be a very different planning experience for group travel from this side. I am wondering how the photographer is, and if we are allowed to hire a photog to take our photos
