Thanks guys! I am so excited to get working on my invites now! Brandy, Rebecca is great. Thank you for posting your amazing planning thread! I am sure your wedding was beautiful. Seeing all your items was such an inspiration! I want to steal everyone of them!

Congrats!!! Almost the year count down. April is flying by!!

LOL!!! Happy birthday!

Sorry they came out blurry. If anyone wants to see a clearer copy let me know.

Hi! I just wanted to share my STDs with you ladies. I am not a DIY person at all so I had the amazing Rebecca "Allurements" design and print my STDs. I decided to go with the boarding pass style with 2 pages and a ticket jacket. First page has our names, date and place. The second page has hotel, travel and our website info.

Both of those cakes look awesome!

This is an awesome thread! I just read over 20 pages! Gave me a lot to think about. Any new brides have other points they would like to share?

I would think yes but probably better to ask the WC at the resort as they all probably have different policies.

Your photos look amazing! Looks like you had a beautiful wedding! Congrats!

Those look awesome!

Great thanks so much! I think medium is perfect. I love that it already has Mexico on them too...I was not about to do that myself! I almost want to buy a bunch now since they are so cheap!

The bags are cute! You did a great job!

Me too but I LOVE your dress!

Looks great & I am totally stealing this idea! LOL! Thanks! I just need to wait to get somewhat of a head count so I know how many to order. What site did you order the maracas from?

Everything looks great! Congratulations!

Welcome & Congratulations!!!!! I am sure there are other brides out there. Maybe do a search of your resort?

Both are gorgeous!

So glad to hear you were able to get the time you wanted & not have to settle for 1pm!!! No, I didn't add an hour to the reception time. Here is what Yamina responded to me with: "The usual timing is as follows: Ceremony at 5PM, Cocktail hour at 6PM and reception at 7PM. We include three hours for the dinner and if you want to extend the event, I should mention that it will have a cost of $12 usd per person per hour." BUT the DJ they recommend is for 4 hours. I am not sure if you can just pay for 3 hours if you are not planning on extending the reception to 4. Figured I would wait a few weeks to figure it out! "The quotation for the DJ is per 4 hours of service. The cost is $1050 usd." I am SO jealous you are going in April!!!!!! Have a great time. Post pics when you get back!

Honestly, I choose my resort 1st because I have been there twice & knew I would not settle for anywhere else. With that being said I wanted to give my guests more then a years notice. I originally chose April 19th 2012 but the rates dropped a little from May-August so I went with the first week in May. Did a room block for group rates & in hope that there will be discounts and/or specials so our rates will drop. I was worrying about who will come & stressing about it but then finally let it go & said the people I want there will hopefully be there & if not I understand(even though they had a year to save)...Everyone we tell says they are in but no one has made a deposit yet!!!

I am getting married next May in Mexico at Excellence playa mujeres. I thought it was too early to try on dresses so I am waiting till April...which is tomorrow! lol!! So, I will probably go next weekend to try some on. Im a little excited & nervous because I am not sure what I want especially after looking at all the beautiful dresses on here! I will definitely post when I find one!

You look amazing in that dress! Way better than the model.

Justine this is gorgeous! I dont think its too much for a DW at all!

Toya - Congratulations!!!!

MoBayBride2B - I have been waiting for Oyster Bay to open too! Every year its "coming soon" What's taking so long gezzz!!!
