I planned on using these as my placecards: http://www.etsy.com/listing/66025695/escort-or-place-card-votive-cuffs

 

So, I'm trying to figure out how I could logistically do the menu cards... maybe place them under the person's votive placecard? So when they get their votive, they also get their menu card?

those are really cute! i'd just put a sticker on the other side or above/below the name, depending on which side will face the center of the table. something subtle and classy like a monogram or starfish in white or gold. just enough that the waiters can see to distinguish the entree.

I just did up a seating chart on paper and indicated who was having what entree and gave it to the wedding coordinator. It worked perfectly and I didn't need to do more work for place cards or anything.

I wanted to print up rack cards from Vistaprint and then just perforate the bottom with the guest's meal selection, but I'm wondering how I'd do that logistics-wise? Put the menu card with the guest's place card?

 

 

Thanks!

We actually had everything outside on the beach. The ceremony started at 5:30pm, finished around 6ish, we went and took pictures till 7:30 while the guests enjoyed the cocktails and hot h'orderves, then we started the reception at 7:30, and we done our first dance, father/daughter and mother/son dance prior to supper so the photographer could finish up early. And the reception was over a little past 10:30pm.

He will get back to you.....I think he is just really busy.  It took him a couple weeks to get back to me.  I would tell him exactly what colors or flowers you are interested in and the quantities of each and he will send you a quote. 

 

Don't give up yet

Hello Ladies,

 

I need some help deciding on a resort for my May 2012 wedding. I am doing a Beach ceremony followed by a Beach Reception or on a terrace overlooking the beach for 65 guests.

 

I have narrowed down my choices to 1) The NOW Sapphire or 2) The Royal (Real Resorts) - Playa Del Carmen. I am having a hard time deciding between the two, and may have to toss a coin Any input on either of these 2 resorts or why you chose the Royal or the Sapphire would be very helpful.

 

Brides that have had their wedding at either resort or any one who has done a site visit, I would love to hear your reviews or see any photos

 

All please respond or send me a PM.

 

I have heard/read great things about each resort and some things that concern me. For example, The Beach at the Royal is not nice, the Sapphire's is better but the food/service, atmosphere is not as nice as the Royal. Both are in compariosion as for costs. I am unable to do my own site visit so I have to base my choice on reviews and photos which is tough.

 

 

Thanks so much!!!!

MrsJohns,

 

Sapphire's beach is nicer...but their suites aren't that as nice as the Royal's.  Even Sapphire's BEST suites are no comparison to the Royal's mastersuite..so forget to compare it with Royal's president suites.  If your future hubby has a big group of boys to hang out..a mastersuite at the Royal is the answer.

Food, service and LOCATION too..Royal beats Sapphire 200%.

 

However Sapphire is CHEAPER, and accept kids.  Royal also got Gran Porto sister hotel next door..but ur guests can compare them like heaven and mortal world within 3 mins.  Therefore, if your guests are trapped with budget and/or kids...goto Sapphire NOW.  If they are super picky and very used to a luxury life..goto the Royal.
