Planning my Big Day at The Royal in Playa del Carmen

[LuckyGal4]

Got my cake topper in today YAY finally... It took 5 weeks but it is really pretty!! The cake at the resort is just plain white so I wanted to add some color to it. I got it from Etsy and the shope is called "ThePinkOwlGifts"

Well I got a few more things to post today!! I ordered these money holders from www.specialistID.com they were sooooo fast and cheap too! I got 35 Lanyard's for .32 a piece and 35 Heavy Duty Badge Holders for .49 a piece I got the idea from another girl on here. She had posted the template. Her's looked a lot better than mine did as she printed on cardstock but when you work 7 days a week doing 12 hour shifts not everything turns out exactly how you want!! Nevertheless, I got the sparkly cardstock at Michaels and used Modge Podge to glue it down then coverd the from with it too! I figured our guests could use these for their room keys, tip money stuff like that I am going to put these in the OOT Bags!

 

 

 

 

Here is the attachment in case you want to use it!

 

The only other thing I wanted to share was my FI's wedding present, YAY IM SOOOO EXCITED about this!! Trey loves watches so I thought that a watch would be a great wedding present. But I didnt want to get just any watch so I went a head and went all out for him! I hope he loves it cause he wont be getting another present from me for a while!!! Now hopefully he got me something special too!!

wow!  you are so organized.  great tips! how much did you pay your bm bouquets?

[LuckyGal4]

Thanks Tiffy!!! I paid $50 for the BM bouquets, the resort was going to charge me $80 which I thought was ridiculous!!! Thats why I decided to use Marvin.

I LOVE the blue heart on your dress!!!!!!!!!  That is amazing! 

[LuckyGal4]

Thank you I think I love that more than my dress My future MIL is soooo amazing, I am so glad that she was able to do this for me! She told me she was super nervous cause she didnt want to mess my dress up, I had a lot of faith in her!!

So I got my guestbook yesterday and I am so pumped about it!!! I knew that I wanted to do something different as I didnt want just a white guest book that I put in a box and never look at again. I looked around on here to see what I could find and I found some reallly cool ones that brides had DIY'd but then I came across one thread and I thought that the idea was so cool. It is a guestbook with all our pics in it and the guests can sign anywhere in the book like on their favorite pic! Anyways so I got my book from MyPublisher.com

Also I wanted to share the coupon in case anyone wanted to use it... Go to www.mypublisher.com/friend and enter your email address and you will get a $20 gift card!! I got the Deluxe Hardcover Photobook which is normally $59.80 but if you use your $20 then you can get it for $39.80 oh make sure to give yourself enough time, since I didnt think of this till last miunute I had to pay an extra $50 to RUSH the order (oh well still totally worth it!!!)

This is the front cover and the first page in the book... Inside I have our engagement pics, some of my bridals and other pics of me and Trey throughout our journey!

This is the back of the book! I think that they did I really good job and cant wait to get back and put it on the coffee table!! I figure it will be a great conversation piece!

That book is sooooooooo cute! I wanted to do a storyline of pictures in a short video for everyone to watch at the reception but that is turning out to be a bigger feat than I expected. How much time is their normal production time?

[LuckyGal4]

Thank you I love it, I put all kinds of pics in there so its def like a storyline just with pics in a book and not on a screen  I really didnt pay that much attention only because I knew that I only had like a week and half once I ordered it for it to go thru production and then get it delivered to me. You wedding is in October right? You should have plenty of time if you decide to go this route!

[mae1564]

Yes it is in October, and I can't say enough how excited I am that you posted that idea!!!

 

PS I love the Rolex you bought for your FI's wedding gift! I bought mine a really nice Citizen for his bday two years ago and I thought he was going to kill me! But he loved it, and still loves it so it was worth every penny. I'm pretty sure if I bought him a Rolex he would never wear it, I had to convince him it was okay to wear the one I did get him because he was so afraid of anything happening to it.
