I love the colors too, the purple and teal look great. We sent out a little over 100 rsvps and I requested a response by today and I only have about 40 back and mostly from the people I already knew were coming. So I was hoping for more but I'm thinking I may get about 10 more years and the rest are gonna be no's

 

Wow I love your colors! I was thinking about getting my flower girl a similar dress. Is it a Dessy dress?

My place cards are the same (Martha stewart right?) I'm just waiting the number of guest to finally be confirmed. Do you ladies have problems getting your guests to rsvp?

Ha ha. I meant 10 more yeses. You know what else I had problems with I designed a Mexico postcard for the rsvps so they didn't have pre filled out envelopes and i've gotten 3 back without names on them so I have no idea who their from. Then I just read on another forum that, someone put numbers are theirs just in case the same thing happened. I wish I would have thought of that.

I have a spot on mine to fill in your name...but I can see guest that are not coming not putting their name there.  The numbers on them would have been great.  Dang.

You have no idea how many times I changed my colors.  I am open to color but I am not a fan of pastel colors, wanted to have some fun! I went on this site and made my color palate, its cool you can add your own pics or use the ones featured on (Dessy.com)  As for the bridesmaid dress its actually from David's Bridal $100   Also the place cards are from Martha Stewart, your right! someone has been doing their wedding decor homework.  I will be sure to share the video with all u ladies real soon.  It has the information about the wedding on it and it instructs them to RSVP on my wedding website.  Less paper, and postage used = savings! check out the video invitations on youtube, thats where I got the idea.

Hi everyone!  I just found this thread.

 

I'm getting married on Sept 11 at Le Reve Hotel in Playa del Carmen.  Yay!  Our wedding colors are white and light green.  We're doing a site visit to work out all the details, pick the menu, see the florist, do a make-up/hair test, etc., on 4th of July weekend.  We were too too busy to go down there beforehand.  But this forum (especially a few members who corresponded with me) was super helpful, and I love this website!  Yay BDW!

 

I have my first fitting a couple of weeks after we get back from Mexico.  Yikes.  I hope it goes all right.  My biggest concern is that the wedding is going to be in Mexico in September, so the weather will be hot; yet my dress is made of rather heavy material.  The dress looks lovely, but I'm worried that I'll cook inside of it... 

 

I'll post a photo of the dress once it arrives.  We have about 25 guests coming (so far).  I think that's how many have booked their rooms.  And I'm very glad that Le Reve lets you bring a dog - so our doggie is coming!

I'd never thought about getting weather insurance.  But now I'm going to look into it.  Thank you so much!
