I joined Weight Watchers (for the 3rd time) in late May. I'm down 8lbs or so so far. I love Weight Watchers and have lost tons of weight each time I've joined. My problem has always been long-term motivation. But I think that with my wedding next year (and wanting to look super hot on my wedding day!) and then trying for a baby on the horizon, I'll have more than enough motivation to stick with it!

Welcome to the forum! I got engaged at the Royal Playa del Carmen in April...such a beautiful resort! I can't wait to see how your passport invitations turn out, I'm making those too.

Happy Planning!

Sent out our magnet Save the Dates in May, have a few people booked, and our website is up and running.

 

I plan on making passport invitiations and sending them out in September.

It's official....we have book La Luna to photograph our wedding on April 28th at the Cancun Palace!!!! I'm soooo excited! Everything is starting to feel real now.

It's official....we have booked La Luna for our photographer!!!! I'm so excited, it's all coming together. Yay!!!

I actually just created them in Word. I created boxes the size I wanted and played around with pictures and fonts from dafont.com (a BDW favorite). It was really easy! The most difficult part was aligning the back side for printing. I have attached a template to help.

Thanks so much!

You all are so lucky! That sounds amazing! I hope you all take the pictures! I originally intended to get married April 21, 2012 at MP...this is what happens when you give the groom too many choices.

For those future brides that will be on the resort on April 21, 2012, Would you like to get together and take a few bridal group pictures?  It appears that I am the last (well 5pm) bride to get married so when we move to the reception, I thought it would be great if you wanted to put on your gown again, to start a BDW tradition, for us to get together and take a group picture.  If this is something that would interest you, please let me know..that way I will advise my photog.

 

Merrylee will be onsite and thought this would be fab ;-) 

Congratulations and welcome!! All of the brides here are friendly and so helpful.

Happy Planning!

Welcome! Sometimes the resorts are difficult to get in touch with, just keep following-up. Perhaps some of the Moon Palace brides can give you the name of their Miami Coordinator to book the date. 

Congratulations and Happy Planning!!

Welcome and Happy Planning!

I'm glad to see that i'm not the only one waiting weeks for a response from the resort!

 

and I would also love to hear more about that dress!!!

Thanks! I know yours are absolutely beautiful. I looked at the boarding pass and could not figure the template out, so I tried my hand at post cards.

Thanks! I'm not crafty either, but I am a perfectionist so it took me quite a while to finalize the design. Trust me, it was my initial goal to buy them and then my bright idea to make them. Hopefully the savings will net me a mariachi band .

Thanks so much! How bad was the misspelling? Is it something that guests would definitely notice?

This excites me, I think I may go for the long table...it's my first choice! Your table was beautiful!

I thought it had a really sleek look and I was interested in doing something that wasn't so traditional as round tables. My fiance wasn't sure at first (he thinks in a more traditional way) and when he saw it he LOVED it. We both were really happy with our choice and even choosing the black linen really made the flowers and candles pop!
 

 

Thanks so much!

From one Chicago bride to another,Welcome! Happy Planning!

Congratulations!!! I wish I could say that I was down 18 pounds, but slowly I am getting back in the habit of tracking my food points.

I still have a ways to go, but I am getting measured for my dress in two weeks so I would love to lose a few more and maybe drop another size! how are you all doing with your goals?

Thanks so much! I love how postcards communicate everything and keep with the travel theme.

Thanks! It is fun knowing that people have put them on their fridge, I just hope they read the back and will pay their room deposits on time.

Thanks! I know what you mean, it took me a week to get the alignment correct for the back side and I went back and forth about the font I used for "Cancun". I am not very crafty at all, but you have to trust yourself.
