Azul Sensatori Brides - POST HERE!

I feel your pain. My FI and I are the only ones coming from our area and so I alot of my original ideas of stuff I wanted to bring went by the wayside. I gave up on my centerpieces and downsized my OOT bags

Luckily, for FI an I, our first bag is free but we have to pay for the second.  I'm hoping we can get everything into four bags!!

What link are you ladies using to get free postcards and welcome brochures?

For all past Brides/anyone eho's been to the resort...

Is there a bar where they have dancing?  I know the teen club changes...which seems cool...but in any of the bars with "nightly entertainment"?

I know this has probably been asked and answered millions of times....

 

Thanx

Chapa,  Im sure people will realise that its not about them at some point and hopefully it wont be too late. But to be honest it sounds like your better off without them there. Less drama! Im sure it will work out. Ill keep my fingers crossed for you.

Half of FI family said they would be up for going.. well fastforward to Dec/Jan of 2010/11 and all of sudden it is too dangerous there or the economy is horrible, blah blah blah. (Last I checked, Mexico has had violence for sometime and the economy has sucked since ATLEAST 2008). FI's father gives him some BS excuse that he can't afford to go or contribute anything (we know he has money, he flaunts it every chance he gets) and that he has sacrificed so much for us (by opening the invite? cuz we haven't seen any financial or emotional means) and we should feel bad for him. FI is no longer talking to his dad because of all of this drama he brings to his life and FI dad's girlfriend is emailing us telling us we basically sprung this wedding on them all (we have been engaged since Nov. 2009 and getting married in April 2011) and that we are holding everyone financially hostage. At times you just can't help but feel the happiest time of your life really exposes a lot of skeltons that were hiding in the closet!

Im definately with your advice! Family and money are not a good mix!

But you know what they say, you can't choose your family!  So best of luck to everyone dealing with family problems, and to future brides . .  . don't make deposits for family members!  If they want to come they can make their own, just say No!  Also thank goodness for this site and everyone's good advice!

Hi!

 

I am starting to figure out my hair and make-up...I was wondering what everyone is doing for their hair and make-up?  Are you going through the resort or bringing someone in? Has anyone heard any reviews of the hair and make-up at Azul Beach Hotel?

 

Thanks!!!!

[JaimeCF2BR]

try googling "cheap tshirts"...one of the top options should be for vistaprint.

Let me know if that works.

Does anyone have any cute ideas for a door hanger?  I love the concept, just not sure what to write on them!

 

Thanks!

Tisha, not sure what airlines you are flying with, but a lot of them if you pre-purchase weight ahead of time it's cheaper (than paying directly at the airport). We added additional weight to our tickets and it was great, since one the airline knew we were coming with extra luggage and it was cheaper.

The Mojoito lounge has live music every evening and depending on the group, people would dance the night away up there. (there's a small area/dance floor space right in front of the stage). I personally did not make it down to the teen's club, but some of our guests did and said the DJ was great. (only problem, no booze down there, so they had to go back up to the Mojoito lounge for drinks)

We brought someone with us (a friend/guest who is a professional). But I have heard really positive remarks for both Azul properties about hair and makeup. My only suggestion is if you plan for a manicure/pedicure, you may want to bring your own nail polish colors, since they had very few colors.
