And I've missed you all too[emoji4] I'm almost caught up on my invitations and not quite behind as I was a week ago. I'll make sure to check the thread as much as posdible[emoji2]

HI all! Sorry I have not been able to keep up with the thread lately. I have been powering through my passport invitations since I picked up my computer from being repaired and haven't looked up since. Since I have been MIA much excitement has happened. @@Ydolem thank you for sharing your review and your photos. Great tips on where to take photos plus your reception setup was stunning. I was there for my BdR during your wedding weekend and your setup looked stunning. @@linaco80 congrats on the marriage, time flew by I remember talking to you when it was 3 months before your wedding. Big congrats, very happy for you. Also I caught your wedding on the webcam! Loved the ceremony:) Also to those that have upcoming weddings, so excited for you and I am sending best wishes and enjoy your time down there. @@HolaAmigos I believe you posted back a week or so ago about the food and setting thes up decor. @linaco said it perfect that the food is by personal preference. Some brides here have said they go with the buffets because there are more options and some say they want that sit down dinner. If you have more than 30 people in your group you get to choose two different entrees plus you automatically get a vegetarian dish, so you are really getting three options. If you have less thean 30 people then you choose one entree plus you get a vegetarian. I will say the buffet does have quite a few options within each tho. I am going with the Pick and choose and picking two surf and turf options.

@@BreeShort Both are part of the sky deck wedding package. Also I see you are in the Canadian market so I cannot def say if it would be part of the sky deck wedding package for the Canadian market as I know it varies. I would ask your WC on that or maybe there are others on here that would know... I am not sure if other packages besides come with these. Hopefully this helps.

@@Tallbride515 and @@BecomingaRiggio here are pics of the fans and programs. Fans and programs are placed at each seat and you just send all your info beforehand for the program. These are pics from my WC Maribel. I am going with both just because these things can get pricey and some might not even use or just throw away. To everyone else I just got my computer back after being down at the BDR and having my computer back from getting worked on for 3 weeks. Perfect timing on my computer to crash, lol. I am back:) -Carrie

@@raqpena congrats on your wedding!

Hi all! Tomorrow I am heading down for my BdR. I am so excited to get down and see the resort. Is there anybody else going to the BdR this week? I know @@Ydolem is getting married tomorrow on the 19th so I might see her let me know if anybody else is going. Carrie

@@Aliyedwinramirez @@atyson03 As of this evening the other forum is now available and we can post again. We need to post to get it back on the first page from the third page. I contacted the administrator yesterday and they let me know today it was fixed.

@@Aliyedwinramirez it has not disappeared. The topic has been archived so we cannot reply anymore to the topic. Does anyone know what happen or how we can get it back? I have included the link. http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/topic/18414-azul-sensatori-brides-post-here/page-1852

Yes I did

@linaco yes @@Jennypert told me Anika. Thank you [emoji2]

@@Jennypert. Thank you for the info on the maracas. I love thst your glasses March the red of your wedding. So clever and cute

@@kmccabe14 Finally I know someone going in March! I'm staying at Azul sensatori but signed up in October or November for the January but was moved to the march since January was already sold out. That's how I got sensatori. All I can say is from what other girls have said that it has been worth it but maybe the Azul sensatori in April is not sold out. I would advise checking it out,

@@Jennypert Where did you find your maracas? I'm looking to get maracas for my welcome party and reception.

@@Janjin I am having a smores bonfire at my welcome party. The price they quoted me for 70-80 guests were $1350. That includes the open bar as well. I am having it for 2hours. Sorry but I don't have answers to your other questions, still trying to find those out too Carrie

You should be able to give to the concierge or the front desk and they should be able to pass out for you. It's $5/bag or you might be able to just give the concierge a generous tip and they will do for you. Other option is to pass them out at the welcome party. Also you could always send them beforehand as a care package. A few brides have done this before. Hopefully that helps. Carrie

I'm in the same process too @@Janjin. The only advice I can really give is to make sure the wording that is in the package on their site is in the contract.

Lol @@BecomingaRiggio I xnayed the flip flops from the beginning on top of the shorts. When we moved our ceremony from the beach to sky deck then there was no question. I really like the wing tip look so I am researching those No pics oft he outfit yet, we get the outfits in March so I'll make sure to post when they arrive.

@@BecomingaRiggio those suits look sharp. I really like the best, it really makes the outfit look sharp. I am having the guys wear silk linen pants in khaki and a white silk linen button down. I purchased all from a vendor I use at work. They didn't have a vest so I might just have Sam wear a vest to with his tie and just have the gma wear just the shirt pant and tie. We are still undecided on shoes, what is everyone else doing? The shoe is something we will give to them along with a belt through a vendor I work with at my work.

It looks like you have gone above and beyond, very generous of you. If you have not given the girls the makeup kits maybe you can give that to them down in Mexico. Maybe for the guys you can give them the shoes down in Mexico.

@linaco yes I am def going with the 6 pc mariachi band at my welcome party. I want to have them there at the party to get my guest hyped up. If I wasn't having them at that time then I probably wouldn't have them any other time. I am not even sure if I am going to have live music at the cocktail party unless I get the violinist for 45 minutes and she can play some at the cocktail party and ceremony.

@@BecomingaRiggio when are you having the flamemco guitarist?

@linaco I was going to get thr mariach band for the welcome party..

@@Jennypert looks like everyone had a great time @@BecomingaRiggio I am having a sit down because from the get go I knew that is what I wanted. I'm going down in March to confirm my menu so unless the buffets blow me away and it's a must then I'm going with sit down. I just think the way they plate food will really wow my guest so that is another reason and I do not want guest standing in a line. To me it is interesting that the buffet is more expensive but everyone raves about it Carrie

Red is making a come back, I'm sure there will be more red weddings[emoji2] Looks beautiful

@@BecomingaRiggio Just noticed you are from Texas. I am from Tyler, Texas but now reside in Newport Beach, CA Lovely pics from the shower, looks like you both had fun:) The samples I received from bloombridal are great. I might use the individual stem roses to create small centerpieces to accent the oversized lamp/candle fixture I want for the centerpieces. I attached the picture below. I would probably do half of the rose steams in the picture just because if I do the same amount then it would cost the same if not more to use the bloom bridal stems. I'm going down in March so hopefully I will make the final decision after seeing the location. If anybody has any suggestions I will take them -Carrie
