Ok, thanks!  It was a shock to get the invoice with all the add-ons

We have 40 people coming, can I ask you- did you spend the extra cost to increase the wedding cake and cocktail hour appetizers?  I know the divine pkg includes up to 25 ppl only, I just wonder if it's worthwhile to increase those things- especially the cake, when everyone gets dessert already!

 

Thanks!

same with us!  Our $2999 wedding pkg jumped to $5351.88!  We need to do some serious re-evaluating of some things.  But a few things for us are non-negotiable.  For example, we wanto to extend our reception by one hour, as we think 3hrs is just too short- $15pp, so that's an addit'l $570.00.  $868.00 for the extra 15 ppl we have for the dinner. and on and on.....sigh.  can't complain, still cheaper than doing it at home!

How did you get an invoice? I haven't even talked to Pilar since January when I gave her our deposit. Is this something I need?

Have you completed the "Wedding Planning Form" yet? It was like an 8-10 pg document, where you detail everything on it. I'll attach mine here, so you can see what I mean...after I sent it to Pilar, she replied with the answers to the questions I asked, and then attached the invoice as a pdf.  We received this planning form from our wedding planner at Blue Petal, not from Pilar.

I'm bringing my own flowers... sooo much cheaper.  I hate the idea of spending a ton of money on the flowers.  This way I can have the bouquets look they way I want them to down to the smallest detail.  They're around $10/bouquet.  Mine will probably be slightly more money, though.

Who are you using? How much is the fee to go off the resort for flowers???

I am thinking about that too, just worried about them getting ruined in the luggage!

Thank You Kristen! I did get that planning form but I did not realize I needed to go ahead and send it back to her already! I've started filling it out but I'm not sure of all the details! I'm so stressed with not knowing how many guest we will have! It can be anywhere from 20-50 and that's such a wide range. I'm hoping for no more than 40 bc the price gets pretty high!! Do you think I should fill it out the best I can and send it or it it ok to wait?
