2012 Le Blanc Brides

I am of course doing the DIY myself :-)  I own a stationery and invitation design company so I can't imagine not doing it myself.  Who did you find to do your invites?  Just curious.  How's the other planning coming along?

So since you're an artist, I'm assuming you're taking on all these DIY projects yourself?

I decided to use Allison Barnhill designs for my invitations and Sproullie Designs for the save the dates. I found both of them on Etsy. When are you sending your save to dates and invites out?

Anyone using DJ Mannia??? If so, can you PM a price list if you have one.

 

Thanks!

Hey brides! They wont let me reserve a location for our reception either Lau - what is a B&G kickback?

You get a kick back if u book 75 room nights or 25 rooms for ur wedding. The bride an groom get 7 nights free in the honeymoon suite. I think I am using DJ Mannia email them an they will givenyou a quote. I think it was about $950 for about 4 hrs or so but try are really friendly and quick to reply to any questions. Let me know if you get any further info on DJs

Hi Nicole,

Sorry for the late reply.  I have been super busy with work.  Sending my save-the-date info out in two weeks.  Hope all is well with everyone and their planning.

Hi Brides,

 

I'm new to the board, but have been reading posts for quite some time.  After 2 months of looking, my fiance and I finally chose Le Blanc for our wedding destination location and I cannot wait! I am working with Wendy Hicks and Yesenia from Palace Resorts and still working on firming up a date, but looking in July.  Any up front advice would be helpful since I'm new to this process.

 

How soon did everyone send out their save the dates? We were originally going to get married in November and have moved it up a few months so I feel behind!  I saw the passport ideas from Sproullie Designs and really liked that idea to give people information and gauge who would actually be coming.  We are thinking we will have around 40-50 guests.

 

For those that have picked packages yet, could you please share which and what the reasoning was?  That will be the next step in my process.

 

Thanks,

Molly

Jaclyn, what time are you doing your ceremony?  I'm looking at a Friday, July 20th wedding so looks like we might run into each other!

[Jaclyn24]

Med - We are not having our ceremony at Le Blanc We are having our ceremony at a catholic church in Cancun. We are having our reception at Le Blanc on the 21st. What about you guys?? Our STDs are in production ! I cant wait to get them , we picked these really cute ones from Sprouille.

Jaclyn - how exciting! We are planning on doing both at Le Blanc (ceremony & reception) since our guests will be staying there, looking at the 6pm timeframe now so we have some pretty shots during sunset and it's not as hot.

 

Have you (or anyone) hired a photographer?  I love Elizabeth Medina's pictures, but she's not available in late July because of vacation. I'm looking at Del Sol now.
