Your bags came out great! Nice job with the welcome books too, I never thought to use a photo album..creative! Your guest will love these!

Wow that cake is really awesome!! Very talented!

Very pretty! Love how the skirt is different then the top. Very unique & looks great on you!

That's awesome!! Great find! I definitely should have taken notes from you lol! Thanks for the info, I will search for that thread. Congrats fellow Excellence bride!! Their resorts are just amazing arent they! I will be at Playa Mujeres in Mexico. I hear the 2 are very similar.

Wow you are on the ball! I think the hardest part for me is going to be the ceremony wording...dreading it!! I want it simple, short & sweet lol! I took my girls bridesmaid shopping over the weekend & now I understand why some brides pick the dress. We may have gone to more shops then I did for my gown! I finally said to them after this last shop we have scheduled to go too if we dont find anything then they will go with the very first dress they tried on.

Congrats!! How is everyone's planning going? I just ordered kozzies for my bags & cant wait to see them! woohoo!

By the way, your pics look amazing!

I would also like to know! I did the same & have all my prints although my photos didnt turn out the way I wanted so I just got the prints instead of giving the photog more money for the album.

I got my aloe bottles from Target in the travel section. Perfect size & I think they were .97 each. Bought around 20 of them but they always have tons.

Wow great job!

Great job!! Your logo is great. I love the hibiscus flowers all over too! Where did you get the bags?

Your url didnt work but thanks for the idea of using shells instead!

Wow! These shoes are amazing!! They will look awesome in pics!

What a great idea! I love how you were able to incorporate his heritage! I would never have thought of that...too bad my FI isnt Chinese I would totally steal this! lol The starfish just seems like the easy thing to do but you are right they are probably very fragile & may break...

Dang!!! I wish these were still available. I have been searching for something like this but am unable to download them now...maybe its been too long Does anyone have these? If you would please post again the zip file I would appreciate it. Thanks!

I have been searching this forum for a thread that had pics of what everyone was doing for their table numbers. In looking at old planning threads I found that I like a few but they are so old I am sure the member will not be on to post where they are from etc.... I am thinking of maybe doing where the table numbers are written in the sand pics but have not had any luck finding a template on here or maybe taking pics of my pug with a sombrero on with the number sign next to him! lol! What is everyone doing? Also does this have to match the place cards? I am still not sure of the place cards yet but I am leaning to the star fish in sand box with the names attached. (something easy)

I have booked Lincoln with Moments that Matter. I think Lori is with Sweetfire or something like that. It is a shame they are not working together anymore but I am sure you cant go wrong with either though. We get married May 3 so I will still be there for your wedding!! We dont leave until the 8th. Hope everyones planning is going well! Any brides coming up?

aww so cute!

Love the hanger! I really like how you incorporated a flower on it!

Congrats!! You look fantastic, he will love them!

Favorite thread by far! Just looked at all 27 pages, love all these photos. I cant wait to post mine after the big day!

I used Rebecca ( Allurements by Rebecca - [email protected]) for my boarding pass STDs & passport invitations. She also did will you be my bridesmaid cards for me. I had no idea what I wanted just told her my colors & she made it all come together. Would definitely recommend her to you!

Congrats!! I too am getting married at EPM. Our date is May 3, 2012 with the gold package. There is already an active thread for epm brides with tons of updated info. Here's the link: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/32897/excellence-playa-mujeres-brides-post-here I have vacationed at this resort twice. Our wedding will be our 3rd visit. It is as beautiful as the pics dont worry! The reception is 3 hours long and dinner is included in it. If you want to hire the dj they use (DJ Mannia) and the WC sets that up for you(of course this is extra) All you have to do is let them know. For the reception you can choose to have it in one of the closed restaurants for that evening or you can do it in the event room or the spice terrace. It may depend on how many guests you have. We choose the gazebo for the ceremony, x-lounge for the cocktail hour and spice terrace for the reception with the DJ. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else!

Thank you all for your feedback! I feel better now! We plan on using Mexico as our anniversary so I probably shouldnt dwell on the legal day too much. Thanks again, another reason why I love this site...my FI is no help when talking about this crap!
