I had picked a date, but apparently you have to be in Mexico for 4 working days before you can get married... so it will be bumped up a few days.

I think thats what we are going to have to do, just make a rough list. Right now it seems like everyone says they will be going, so we have a good number, more than we expected, its just if they actually hold to it.....

Did the WC say how soon you can book the resort for your reception? I can book in early spring, I have looked at a few photographers....but we are still undecided about 2 resorts..... we have been to the Grand Palladium Kantenah and the Barcelo Maya Colonial , and loved them both. Both resorts have great wedding packages, but if we go with the Barcelo (which Ryan is leaning towards) we have to use their official wedding photographer. I checked out his pictures, they are nice. If we choose the other resort we can book our own photographer, and I have conacted Claudia Rodriguez, and she does beautiful photography.

My travel agent said that I had to had a number before i booked through the tour company, and I just think its hard to get an exact numer now, plus they told me that its too early for 2008 booking, because 2007 prices are still in effect, I have to wait until early spring. so in the meantime do I go around trying to get exact numbers, or should I just send out invites!? so many questions!

We are still in the early stages of planning the wedding, we got engaged christmas day. But we have decided that we are having a destinantion wedding, at our favorite destination! Right now I have some confusion as to when we should be booking and sending invites. I have spoke to my travel agent and wedding coordinators at the 2 resorts we are considering. As of now we are expecting about 35 + guests..... we can not book yet, as it is too early for 2008 bookings. This is all new to me, and I would just like to know where to get started!

I am glad I found this site, just got engagged and need all the help we can get planning our mexico wedding! here is a little info.... 1. Tye Marie 2. March 2008 3. Mayan Riviera ( puerto Adventuras possibly)
