How crazy, I still can't wrap my mind around her having twins! She already has two kids and she is 27. I just can't believe it!

It's a bummer she won't be there...but, in my opinion, is one of the best reasons (or excuses lol) for a person not being there!

Hey ladies!!

 

I'm also an January 2009 Bride. 1.16.09 to be exact.

 

We were planning a Moon Palace wedding in Cancun BUT we have changed it to Aventura Spa Palace!

 

I'm super excited about it and the on-site WC has already been emailing me!

 

We have our save the dates out for the AHR and Wedding in Cancun.

 

Photog Booked--using Elizabeth Medina.

 

Dress purchased.

 

Only one BM, GM. So that's easy enough.

 

AND...so far that's it!

 

I've started looking at invitiations/announcements. I'm amazed at home expensive they are!

 

Anyways, I can't wait to chat with you ladies more!!

 

Just wanted to introduce myself!

Welcome to the thread Erin! Sounds like you're right on track! As far as announcements/invites being expensive, have you considered doing them yourself? I know A TON of brides on here including myself made them on our own and had them printed at Kinko's or somewhere similar. It saved a TON of money!

Awesome! I am using Elizabeth Medina too! Invites are expensive... I made my own and they turned out great if you are feeling a little ambitious!
Mine cost me under $1 a piece plus stamps.

What made you change locations?

Mainly we changed locations because the only time we could get married at The Moon Palace was 1:00 on Friday the 16th. I agreed to this originally, but then just couldn't get the dream of a "sunset" wedding out of my head. So, after I found out none of the kids were coming---we swapped to Aventura.

So far planning with them has been great! Everyone is staying at Moon Palace and then taking private transportation to Aventura. We thought it would be a nice way to let everyone see another resort!

Do you have a picture of your invitations?? I have considered doing them myself, just am a medical person---not very crafty! =)

I agree, if someone can't come having twins is the best reason possible. I just want her and her babies to be happy and healthy! I won't be replacing her. I already had 7 bridesmaids, which is a lot in my opinion.

I also wanted to alert everyone of the sale whitehouse and black market is having! I just bought a dress, halter top and bermuda shorts for $150 with shipping. The dress alone was supposed to be $150. Its so dangerous being bored at work!!!!

I know that question about the invites wasn't directed towards me, but here are mine if you are interested... http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...bottle+invites

Sure! I created this link... the pics are at the beginning... then somewhere in the middle is the pic of my RSVP card... and then I created a whole word and it is posted towards the end of the thread that has everything you could possibly need! I am not really crafty either. Actually, my FH helped me out too! It was a fun project together but having another gal would be a plus!

I changed locations too... much happier with my new location!
