@@jhinkle78 @@TinkerSofi I leave on Tuesday for my wedding on Saturday, November 1 so I'll let you all know about the club. For my photographer, I am using Derek Campbell with photosincancun.com. He's great. Pretty reasonably priced too. He cut his fee by $400 so I am only paying $400 for the outside vendor fee. He has three photographers. He's coming to the rehearsal dinner for no cost because I wanted to picture that night since it's Halloween and we are all wearing costumes. Then he's coming on Saturday at 12 pm and staying until 10 pm. Typically, they only do 8 hours, but he added two more for me at no cost. For my DJ, I'm using the one that costs $2000. I am all about a laser light show, neon, bubbles, fog machine, etc. I've made a very thorough list of what they can and can't play and have warned them I will physically hurt them if they stray from my list. I'll let y'all know how everything turns out! I can't wait!

@@jh0510038 Unfortunately those are the only things I didn't make myself. I had them designed. Inspirations amie.com. She was great! Inspirationsbyamielee.com.

@@cankem80 I can't put a link on here for some crazy reason. Every time I try to, the website freezes up. If you go to Michaels.com, then type in Celebrate It in the search area. I got the Celebrate It Transparent Archival Bags. They were 6 3/4 x 9 3/4. According to the website, they are now out of stock. But I'm sure you can find them online somewhere else. Then I just printed out my bag toppers on card stock, used a paper cutter and stapled them to the top of the bags. Hope that helps!

@@calgarybride2015 I got them designed by Amie Lee. Inspirationsbyamielee.com. She's definitely the most expensive thing I did, but I really wanted them to be nice and I needed a lot of them. They turned out great!!

Sure! I can email them to you tonight. Thanks!

@@JennyZ I know! It's ridiculous!! We have 100 people coming so it's a lot. But it will be worth it!!

@@JennyZ you're welcome! They are fun to make! My maid of honor and I both have 3 bags in addition to our personal suit case. I bought all 6 suitcases and I am leaving them all there. It's costing me a bloody fortune to get them all there. Oh well!

@@JennyZ thanks!! I got the medicines on Amazon. The provider was Mr. Medical. You can get them at staples for a good price too apparently. They're just little mini packets with 2 pills in them. I bought 50 packets for $14 I think.

@@reynbow The WC I had at the time was Andrea. She's not my WC anymore though.

@@marinah84 You're so welcome! I'm glad you like them and I'm even happier you can use them!! LOVE the dress. So impressed!!

@@LuisaB I just told my WC in Playa that since I'm having so many people and giving their hotel a sh!t ton of money for all the guests, that I should get it waived. I'm still paying the cost per person for the cocktail party and the additional $8 fee, so I told them I think that's enough. She checked with her manager and they waived it. Which is awesome!!

It's probably only because my TA has had numerous weddings down there and she goes to them all. She knows everyone there really well. She is going Wednesday-Sunday my wedding week to help me with stuff. And to be my point of contact in case my guests need anything. So that will help me a lot!!

@@ccphu - When I go in a few weeks for our wedding, I'll let you know about how many string lights you need and stuff too. My TA also is covering my wedding make-up, hair and rehearsal make-up and hair. She also got me upgraded from a regular room to a roof top one bedroom suite. And she also helped me convince them to waive the sky deck fee. Oh and she also got me a new WC who has rocked! She's not with Karisma. She's with Lomas and the hotel so she's been so great. I hear back from her in a few hours and she updates my detail sheet and sends it to me every time she makes a change. She's going to be at our meeting at the hotel too, which is nice. So my TA has rocked. I'll let you know about the lights for sure!

@@palmtree99 I got them on Etsy. The shop is called theHELLOtote. They're called Recovery Kit Mini Emergency Bags. They're really cute!
