December 2010 Brides

[wnmrtn8]

I can't believe I miss this thread lol... I am also a Dec bride. My wedding is Dec. 29th. I am so excited can't believe the date is just around the corner. You girls have done a wonderful job planning it seems like some of you guys have almost everything. I have to be honest I am still not ready, I am missing several things like my flower girls dresses, accessories for me and little details. I read several girls where interested ordering maracas, I order from the same company they are great maracas specially for price and they have great customer service. I was able to get all the maracas in a turquoise color. I added our name and date with a special pen and also added little tags that says Shake them to kiss. I think its a great party favor. I will take a picture and show you guys. I received the maracas less than a week.

Sorry to hear about the hubby! I hope he can go snorkelling and I am sure you will think of millions of more things to do as well

I actually asked my wedding coordinator at the resort and paying her to do so.  She offered to pick some up for us - 40 - she offered to do so without a fee.  I am not sure what I should bring for her as a gift.  We will also be giving her a cash tip as well. Any suggestions. It is such a help. I thought about ordering and buying them ourselves in Playa - but this will be such a time saver!!

Thats really nice!! I'm planning to pick them up in Mexico once we are down there because I don't want to worry about the transport down. Question, are you doing a pair of maracas per person or a maraca per person... I've seen it both ways. I have 32 guests so I'd need 64 (well 68, if I include me and husband to be) if I did a pair... I am worried that it will be harder to get that many down there... Any thoughts?

I asked my wedding planner and she told me they where more expensive in Puerto Vallarta that it was a great deal. I didn't want to risk it. Here's some pictures for you. The pictures came out a little dark.

Oh wow, that is so nice of her!  My WC wont even return my calls right now, let alone offer to buy our maracas!  LOL
