Decor was perfect, ceremony went smooth, but the reception organization could've fallen apart fast if our friend didn't step in and take over.
My number 2 biggest tip is to give them one suitcase with an inventory list with descriptions of exactly how you want everything. I got this original idea from LessIsMore, and built on it by putting absolutely everything in writing in the suitcase...inventory, pictures, sermon, readings, order of events,etc.

Well I better get back to my honeymoon! If anyone is considering the casitas...I highly recommend it!!! It has been fabulous here! It's pretty expensive, but totally worth it! Also, I didn't end up using all of my membership "weeks" for all of my guests, so if any of you need extra discounts for your honeymoon or straggling guests just let me know and I'll see what I can get. PM me though cause I have no idea when I'll get through all the posts!

Congrats Jamie! Glad to hear all went well. Enjoy your honeymoon!

*The Italian restaurant was really good at Casitas....and the cheese fondue was super fun (and super filling)!

Has anyone dealt with the issue of having 3 year olds who are way advanced use the kids club?

I have a niece and nephew coming to AB and I would hate if they couldn't join the kids club play groups becasue they didn't meet the cut off.

 

Has anyone asked about this or overcome it?

Much obliged to anyone who has insight!

I think they are fairly strict with the ages for joining the actual kids club group (ie. supervised activities). However kids of any age are allowed to use the kids club facilities as long as a parent is with them. We had a 9 month old, who played with the toys, water playground, etc. Hope that helps.

If the order is changed a little during the ceremony, oh well, it's Mexico and we will just have to roll with it!  LOL  My order is:  prelude, processional, bridal march, words of welcome, recitation of vows, exchange of rings, sand ceremony and signing of docs, closing, and recessional.  I did not see your wedding date at the bottom of your post, but if it is after my date (05/28/11), I will let you know! 

That's pretty much how our ceremony ran. So I think you should be good (we didn't do the sand ceremony, and we inserted our own vows) Our vows were directly before the ring exchange.

Congrats Jamie & Maggie!!!!!!  Enjoy your week!!!!!!!!!

 

Someone posted that they should pay Murmel!!  I agree!!!  She gets my vote for most information!!!  Murmel you should apply for one of the Karisma reps!   One of the (only) girls that have been married at Azul Fives, Jamie Campbell, does promo stuff for them after her wedding!  Maybe you can get some perks!!!

What type of detail sheet is she talking about for them to know what to set up? I guess I will have her send it to me when she gets back.

 

Can anyone send me their list of music for their reception and also while people are being seated at the ceremony. I think Lomas has a list on their website. I have our ceremony music picked out. I think I am going to walk down the aisle to Bittersweet symphony string version but have been second guessing that. Any suggestions/comments? I am also having trouble finding music while we are eating and prior to the ceremony.

All white turned out really nice with the tiff blue satin sashes and runners for a pop of color. I'll post pictures too so you can see how it all went together.

Finally was able to post picture of what our invitations look like. They took forever to put together but we're so happy with the way they've turned out. And we are hearing great response's from family and friends

I can try and put my playlists together.  They are all in my ipod as a list but not written anywhere.   

 

I had some cool music for the ceremony.  The music while the guests were being seated was rock music but performed by string musicians.  The bridesmaids walked down to Bittersweet symphony.  I walked down to Can't help falling in love by Ingrid Michaelson.  We had Endless Love for our Sand Ceremony, Michael Buble's Crazy Love for the Signing of the documents, and then our recessional was Smile which I cut straight to the chorus. 

 

Oh, and another tip, be sure you label the songs above as what they are for in your ipod.  I had forgotten to do that, and so I had to write a list right before the wedding.

Justine, I only have white and turquoise lanterns, and turquoise sashes/runners.  Don't think that will help you much but if there's anything I do figure out that might help ya, I'll let you know.
