If it matters to you, there's a big difference in paper lanterns being lit from the inside then having light in close proximity bounce off of them. Thelight fixtures are spaced in a way that some of your lanterns won't even be close enough for the light from the fixtures to have any effect.

Thank you! I love my dress, I was actually tempted to put it on again last weekend just for kicks. It seemed like a better option then just letting it sit there. You must be beaming with excitement as your date quickly approaches...Sending my early best wishes to you both just in case I don't get antoher opportunity to. Have you decided on the size(s)? This is a pretty important variable. Do you have an inspiration pic to post? I personally like the look of them lit, especially once the sun goes down.

I just wanted to chime in and share my experience... No Save the Dates Invites sent 9 months out RSVP 12 weeks out Booking reminder sent 10 weeks out Group Rate Expired 8 weeks out Of the 24 invitations sent (42 Guests), I received a total of 3 RSVPs; 2 declines and 1 acceptance. I hoenstly didn't know who was attending my wedding until our group rate expired. Of the 22 guests that committed to our DW, 14 of them booked within 48 hours of our group rate expiring and another booked her trip independently (airfare and accomodations) within 48 hours of departing for our wedding. While logic would dictate that those who care and have intentions of coming will RSVP and book far in advance. The truth of the matter is, those who care will book by the deadline. We put a lot of effort in planning our weddings but remember, it's our wedding and one of the greatest milestones in our life, not our guests. Every detail will be a priority from the moment we're engaged until our wedding day. As far as our guests are concerned, our wedding doesn't become their priority until they board the plane.

It's amazing what you can do if you just give things a try (and have to adhere to a budget). I never thought I would have so many DIY projects, but I guess it's one of the benefits of being a detail oriented person. Good luck with your projects and let me know if you have any questions.

I made mine and I think it turned about beautifully. It sparkled like crazy too, once i wiped it off with windex to get the wax residue off (wax pencil used to place crystals). I think most of my materials are listed in the following thread, but if not, feel free to ask http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/81712/diy-cake-toppers

It should be noted that ice isn't an issue since it's made from purified water and brought into the resort.

Your profile pic is amazing!!!!!!!! I need to see more! Hey Ladies! As odd as it may seem I don't have any clear pictures of me in my dress, they are all in possesion of my photog (2-4 weeks left until delivered) and our guest (recently solicited, and slowy trickling in). But believe me, I will post like crazy once they're receieved.

And it definitely wasn't due to overindulgence of alcohol! One of our groomsmen was so sick, he had to leave right after the ceremony and we didn't see him for the rest of the night. Could just have been the sun, maybe too much food, maybe the ice cubes, who knows? But everyone felt awful. Do yourself a favour and pack LOTS of Imodium! It actually became the running joke of the week. Whenever someone was missing, we knew they were in the can Kristen That sucks, I'm sorry. This is odd considering we stayed within a week of each other. Only 1 person in my group had diarhea, but we attributed this to his obsession with watermellon and honeydew juice (natural laxative as we know).

Definitely not worth the risk, always use bottled water

Congrats, Kristen! this is a fantastic photo; your smile says it all. It's been great planning alongside you in this thread and the Now Jade thread.

I've been waiting for these...Absolutley beautiful Kristie. Congrats, Chica!

Hmm, I see your concern. I do recall reading that specific verbiage before and I think that's why we originally reserved a Jr Suite w/ Ocean View.

Quote: Originally Posted by shannonmarie One more question! If we did not book preferred, does this mean we do not get upgraded to preferred? I thought the preferred upgrade was included in the package so we did not get book preferred, but now I am confused. Yes, you are correct that the upgrade to preferred is a perk with the package, but remember that this is based on availability upon check-in. We had a snafu with our group rate and got the upgrade and our room comped 6 months prior. Otherwise, the upgrade may not have been an option since the resort was booked to capacity during our stay.

Standard: orange juice, apple juice, sprite, coke, water and beer Preferred: All of the above plus mini Bacardi, Jim Beam, Jose Cuervo, Finnland Vodka and snacks.

After being at the resort I can honestly say that I would have been happy with a standard suite, but was happy that we were preferred guests. The preferred lounge stocks liquor that is not available anywhere else on the resort; this was a bonus since Justin's go-to drink is Crown Royal which would not have been available if not preferred. Mini bar's on the preferred side are stocked with mini liquor bottles. I had multiple guests on the non-preferred side request these to no avail. The rooms area bit larger, but equally as nice. Many of the ocean view standard rooms now face a construction site; all of the preferred rooms have a clear ocean view/front. It was also nice to have free wifi. Me and my guest were only at Now Jade for 3 to 4 nights and half of us relocated to Play del Carmen for 3 to 7 nights after. Understanding the Riviera Maya from previous trips, we reserved these types of activities for Playa del Carmen where we knew the prices wouldn't be so inflated. As such, I don't know what kind of activities are available at NJ, because we never inquired or had intentions of doing anything there. Transfers were set-up at a discounted rate by my TA (Teresa Stauring - Vacations4Less) and were available for reservations via a link and group code she provided. Rates were based on the number of passengers, but started at $40 up to 3 people and increased from there. I don't see the need or purpose to rent a car while staying at an AI and would arrange for transportation or get cabs for any excursions or trips into town. If you have never been to the area, it should be known that the drivers are a bit scary and by no means am I a timid driver. If you choose to rent a vehicle, I would advise opting for full coverage insurance.

I did a quick search and came up with these which aren't the same as the ones that I purchased, but pretty close. I think I bought mine at (50) for $25, but as with anything on ebay, it never hurts to submit your best offer. http://www.ebay.com/itm/50-Clear-Large-Luggage-Tags-Scrapbook-Book-Bag-Tags-NOW-Heavy-12-GAUGE-vinyl-/350582432046?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51a057612e

I found the luggage tags on ebay over a year ago sold in a lot of 50. I honesty don't remember the seller, but if you do a search you might be able to find them or something similar. Let me know if you have any other questions.

For anyone interested, you can find my review by following the link below: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/products/now-jade-riviera-cancun/reviews/7328 I guess I have a lot to say because it's pretty long...sorry. But hopefully there's something useful to take from it.
