Welcome lynda! If u want any kind of decorations those aren't included either

yea its an expensive trip for sure...im sure most our friends will go and closest family....but those that we dont see often (especially family) wont go..

I dont see why they would change emails with all of the requests and brides theyre working with...thatll be crazy.. i'm sending out the save the dates tomorrow...exciting! I'm really hoping we get a 50% turnout...that sounds kinda mean LOL

the last time i sent her an email was ten days ago...no response yet..

I am going to change my package to the complimentary one if I can. .at that point I can't get the promotion. ... when she responded to be about the cocktail promo she was mentioning old promos... which was a little frustrating. ..but ill take the comp package over welcome cocktail hr if I can. ..yanna hasn't responded to other questions I had... her email changed? I can't imagine she wouldn't update us on that. .

I'm staying there for eight days. .. the wedding is on sat and most ppl get there thurs or fri...we are also taking this as a honey moon so we will do a few excursions like the national park and altos de chavon..its a very long trip for us so might as well stay there long enough and take advantage

Awesome! U ladies have a lot more luck than I do getting responses. ..I think maybe I just ask too many questions lol

i dont know...i havent tried on any long ones...just medium length ones..i'm a shorty so i'm afraid itll make me look even shorter..next time i go to the store i will try on the dress with a long veil to see how i feel about it...

got your email- love it!!!!!!!!! beautiful! thanks mandiesue! im going to send you my email so you can send me a pic of urs! mandiesue that is very beautiful and elegant! and yes theyre extremely lucky men! I fell in love with that dress online and then i tried it on and it was so pretty and flowy and comfy...and yes the back is a selling point for sure! are u ladies wearing veils?

this is the back

this is mine

can yuo email it to me? THIS SUCKS! 100 more posts before i can view uploads..im going to go crazy posting so i can reach 150 soon LOL

waist trainers do help your shape alot but man i find them so uncomfortable!!!!!!!!

I've been switching up my workout routine. I'd like to lose a few inches for the day. Also, need to cut back on the wine LOL

You guys convinced me to not do the OOT bags...I think a welcome cocktail hour is way cooler..that way people get to meet and talk and makes things a lot easier and smoother on the actual big day....i was going to do both..but my fiance went crazy inviting people so I decided to take the OOT bags out of the equation...they were coming out pricey... We invited a little over 100...LOL! yikes! I'm sure we will get half to show..thats typically the turnout for destination weddings...

LOL 60 ppl have confirmed already? How many did you invite?

I really want to do the welcome hour so I will have to pay for that...but I will choose the cheapest option for food and drink...for the reception ill probably do a buffet since I know my friends and family really like to have options or Ill do the gold menu... I think Pirosca deals mostly with the paperwork and gathering all of the info and booking the weddings, processing payments...etc etc.

what's part of the $260?

thank you! LOL you're funny! Well to be honest with you neither was I. I work with a designer and she volunteered to design our website, save the dates and invites as part of her portfolio for school. She graduates in Sept so we really lucked out and she offered - I didnt even ask.

Hi Mandiesue She actually told me that I didnt qualify although I originally booked the ultimate package. She also told me that the welcome cocktail only applied to paid packages. I'm not sure if you've paid for yours already but I only paid the deposit. Anyways, I think I'm downgrading to the complimentary package so I know at that point I dont qualify, but I'm glad you do. Thats super exciting!!!!!!!!! I wanted to share my wedding website with you ladies! I recommend your use Firefox or IE. YAY! http://our-411.com/

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! mine too! It's going to be awesome!!! I love the ideas!

I saw the "hora loca" on the "wedding extras in english" page...I saw there's a cost associated with it...what it is that the resort provides for you that they charge for?

Hi Ladies! I actually have; however most of it is in Spanish because I am Latina and I LOVE to dance merengue, salsa, bachata, etc.. I will incorporate some top 40 and oldie but goodies like livin on a prayer...billy jean...tootsie roll..etc etc for my non spanish speaking guests and add variety. I did find this link of top 200 most requested songs. They have some really good ones. I'd say most tracks are about 3.5 minutes to 4.5 minutes. So if the average song is four minutes...and you need music for 240 minutes I'd plan for at least 60 songs. I'd rate them as "must play" or "good but it's ok if it's not played". That's how I'm doing it. Also, those NOW That's what I call music CDs can also give you an idea of what is playing on the radio or whats' been popular..these come out every few months..FINALLY the billboard website will always give you the top 100 songs of the moment for those "newer" songs on your list...hope this helps! http://djeventplanner.com/mostrequested.htm http://www.amazon.com/Now-49-Thats-What-Music/dp/B00HHYGF1A http://www.amazon.com/NOW-50-Thats-What-Music/dp/B00J4D9X1G http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100

YAY!!! Congrats Jazz! @@Mandiesue her name is Joanna and she is a friend of a friend...my friend is pretty much her contact and shes in charge of all communication with her..shes helping me out so i can focus on other things..the resort is charging me $65 per every decorator she brings in...aside of what I'm already paying Joanna...I honestly dont even have a quote from her yet... I wish i was a jr member so i could see everything u ladies upload...BOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure I think they charge for decorating the gazebo and any extra stuff u ask them for if u don't provide it. .. the only reason Im going for the outside decorator is because I know she's really good and she will take care of absolutely everything I don't have to worry about buying anything in advance..I tell her my vision and she makes it happen. ..I'm ok paying for that service especially since I saw what she did for my friend'swedding...
