Hi Michelle! Sounds like your planning is on the ball! I just started buying decorations, just paper lanterns so far, and some bling for my bridal bouquet. What did you buy besides the table runners and Fancy shoes!!~WOW~! I want to order my runners, did you end up getting them from the website I gave you? Did you get the satin or the polyester ones? I am just wondering how do we know that they will be long enough? Sorry for all of the questions! As far as the open bar, I asked Adriana today if we needed to pay extra for the open bar since we were ordering off of the private per plate menu, or if we would be required to pay the $15.00 per person for it. Her response was that if we are paying per plate or the buffet at the Baja Norte then the open bar is included as long as its from the Baja Norte Bar (I assume the pool swim up one). She also said that this includes all drinks that can be found at any of the bars in the resort + soda, water etc. I was surprised at this response, but happy! I would much rather spend that money on cool stuff like sparklers! Did you decide if you are going to bring down your own centerpieces? The vases I want are like 14", so they may be a little hard to get down there, unless I end up giving one to each bridesmaid and make them carry it on the plane. Let me know how things are going!
