I can't believe it's so close. Everything looks wonderful, you did a great job preparing and saving $$$ I wish I was half that organized.

I know you and Joe will have an amazing wedding-you deserve nothing short of the best.

Now-relax and enjoy your trip.

WOw such a beautiful plan. I love your dress, you look amazing in it. BTW Hey Jacilynda where is the palapa that your doing the reception? Is there a company/hotel associated with it? Thanks

Your dress in gorgeous!! You did an absolutely wonderful job! I love the boarding pass invites. How did you go about making them? Did you use a template? We really want to do boarding pass invites as well, but I agree with you on the pre-mades being way to expensive.

Any info. on the invites would be great.

Thanks, Ashley

I've been looking for affordable bridesmaids dresses and never thought to check out Victoria Secret - thanks for the tip!

Also, your flowers look amazing!

Your planning thread is beautiful, but sorry I could not get past the fact that your husband speaks french to you at night. That is HOT!

Wow...everything looks AMAZING! I can't believe how much you were able to accomplish with your budget. You have really inspired me to get creative and think outside the box. If you hadn't told us your final figure I would have guessed you spent at least twice as much as you did!

The Palapa is in Akumal. Its part of the Lol-ha Restaurant and the owner owns the restaurant, hotel, snack bar, hotel, and bungalows. They don't use the palapa alot cause they have 2. One of them is just for the snack bar. I love it. Its a hidden place in the Riviera. Its quiet, there isn't a large resort on this bay, just a few shops restaurants, villa, bungalows and the small hotel. Hotel Akumal Caribe

Its actually pretty pricey, $5000 a week. But we had alot of issues w/ a dumb reservations lady at the main hotel. I wanted the cannon house, but she kept saying i could have it or offering a great option when she figured out it wasn't avail, but she always offered something that wasn't avail and I went to her boss (I've been working on the wedding w/ her) and she talked to her sister, who owns this villa, and she offered it to us for $1050 a week. Joe's parents paid for our flights and our accommodations as a gift
