Can you please tell me how to send the deposit?" and they would reply with "You need to send deposit before you arrive." hahaha. So confusing! LoL. Email them and ask in Spanish, Yo no hablo español pero como le puedo mandar el deposito? (I don't speak Spanish but how do I send you the deposit)

Quote: Originally Posted by minigodiva I don't know about having an outdoor photographer, so I agree with soonmrsD. It's best to ask your WC. For those who use or are using Tropical Pictures, how and when do you pay the deposit? Also, does anyone know what to do with carrying a bunch of wedding stuff like we're planning on bringing centerpieces, OOT stuff, favors. Do you think customs will say something? Thank you. You can do everything through your WC, just ask her to do it for you so she can keep up to date on your needs and wants and just reach out to them. I'm bringing someone from NY, family to do my photo/video - Regarding carrying and bringing wedding stuff, I'm sure you can just pay for an extra luggage but you should consider a few closest friends to bring stuff for you to avoid drama at the airport. This is what I'm doing, I mean our guests don't need to bring so much anyway so they can help by helping you with your load.

Well Tropical Pictures is the main ones for BBPD but ask your WC at the resort because they aren't fans of outside business -

He allows you to choose between a traditional religious or a contemporary ceremony or you can mix both. I've read great reviews about him and he seems so nice on e-mail. I'm also not sure who is the $300 minister, but I think ifyou choose a symbolic without the pastor, your WC will officiate your symbolic ceremony. Hope everyone has a good weekend and happy planning! Yes my WC is going to have us sign in front of her in her office the day before our symbolic in private then his cousin will officiate the ceremony in front of everyone the day after ... if all goes as planned

We ordered June 5th and received them a couple of weeks ago. They were great to work with and emailed us a couple of times re: measurements that they thought might be off (including my FI shoulder measurements, which I kept the same and should have listened, lol ). Any questions, just ask! What material did you guys order?

So the only ones who rsvp will get the real invitation. I know the feeling! I feel like I will have that many STD too ugh ... he has a huge Dominican family haha Good thing is my TA said they can just pay $150/person to hold their room for the quoted price so that's not bad!

Quote: Originally Posted by tricia-m Thank you ladies! We're really happy about it. On the back will have the contact information to RSVP to us or the travel agent. Also, the flight dates and pre-registration quotes for the trip. My designer hasn't completed it yet. So you are putting all the info on the STD?

Quote: Originally Posted by tricia-m This is a sample of our save the date. Not fully completed a few edits and then back still needs to be done. But thought I'd share. OMG! This is so perfect! So cute, I love it! How are you doing the RSVP for everyone?

I'm down to meet up also. Where are you ladies getting your bridesmaid dresses from? 3 out of the 5 girls in my bridal party live out of state ( Georgia and Florida) so I have no idea how I'm going to work this thing out...I quickly glanced through some at RK Bridal when I was shopping for my dress but none really caught my eye. Where else should I look? Well I can't drink because of my training but it would be nice to say hi to everyone and put faces to names - I don't see me hanging out at the bridal show for more than an hour so maybe there is Havana Central near the Marriott and on Fridays for happy hour (4-7pm): http://havanacentral.com/events/events-calendar/happy-hour-6-2013-09-27/ Just a thought!

Quote: Originally Posted by RachelHolmes21 I am working with a TA as well, she will do the same - setup a website for them to book their trip.

My STD deferred the guests to the wedding website for booking/resort details. That's a great idea with the FB event page thing! I wanted something like that but couldn't figure it out! Thank you

Quote: Originally Posted by KnC2014 where did you get the code? You ladies are getting me excited, I decided to go even if it's alone. On this website on the side where the ads are displayed lol - Code is google2 Write it in the promo code box and it gives you 2 free tickets
