We need to pay for the rest of hol and wedding package so not really sure i will be making any purchases before aug?! unless i sneak one or two things in here and there :-) I have bought 3 lovely dresses, a pair of gladiator sandals and a beach bag from H&M though a cople of weeks ago, as i really reaaly liked and i just kno if i waited they wouldnt be there ;-p You have really got some gorgeous stuff there... xoxo I'm such a dreamer I thought that I answered this already - sorry :-s I got the coasters from Sea Breezes Beach Glass Photo Coasters but I have seen them on a bunch of sites. We're getting our pics taken on the beach whenever we do our site visit so, one of those will be in the coasters on the table. Thanks - I'm glad you like them.

Thanks for the info, i love these coasters I think they are a great Idea, were not doing OOT bags but something like this would be a lovely thank you to guests and at the same time give them something to use all the time when they get home.... xox

I really don't know what to put in OOT bags..I guess I will make them around this time next year! As I don't know how many people are coming..and what my bonus looks like...LOL...

SunnyD - I chose Mexico because I have been to Jamaica and Punta Cana, but have only been to Cancun once, and I was young. So I wanted to go somewhere "new"! But I have been all over the Caribbean (Bahamas, Caymans, St. Lucia, St. Thomas, St. Maarten, and obviously Jamaica and DR) and I have to say that the beaches in Punta Cana are above and beyond the MOST beautiful beaches that I have been to!! If I (and all of my BMs) hadn't already been there twice, and if it had good diving (my fiance's one request), then I absolutely would've chosen it for my wedding!!! Not to sway you away from Mexico, as that's what I chose, but from what I've seen about Mexico beaches online, they just don't compare to the ones in Punta Cana:)

 

However, on the Mexico side... the activities there were another huge draw for us! We have been wanting to go to Chitchen Itza (we've been to 3 of the 7 wonders of the world together, and are aiming to get to all of them:), and we love that our guests have plenty of activity options other than beach and water activities. The chance to go to ruins and the cenotes was a very unique one. Also flights to Mexico are super cheap from the US!

I have to agree...The reef right off Cozumel is insane! Beach at Cozumel and Cayo Coco, Cuba are so far the nicest ones I've seen. Of course, I never been to Punta Cana, and because my FI's first gf's mother was murdered in Punta Cana, DR ...plus it is right next to Haiti, I guess I won't go there.

Nada prob :-) They come exactly as shown too with the white organza ribbon/bow tied on and packaged in sets of 2.

Yep, totally agree...it's absolutely ridiculous and stupid and I bet if more brides were aware of it, they'd choose to get married at other resorts not owned by Karisma.

This was about the photographer situation...how my resort won't allow outside photographers from Mexico. We either have to use the resort photogs, or bring one from the States who must stay a minimum of 3 nights. Ivan was my preferred photographer, but they won't allow me to use him (even though he is GREAT, and I highly recommend him for any of you other brides!!!)
