I just got married on August 25th in Los Cabos @ Dreams at the weather said Thunderstorms every day that we were there. We did not have any rain. Well, we had a few sprinkles for 5 minutes. Nothing major. It was absolutely beautiful, perfect weather. I will post pics soon

I used FedEx. It is a very detailed process. I suggest calling Fedex directly and having one of the reps walk you through the process. I setup an account online and it was really easy to prepare the shipment with one of the reps on the line. I lableled each box and made sure that I prepared all the paperwork to the T.

Sorry for the delay....I have been so busy. We leave Wednesday Morning. All 7 of my boxes arrived at Dreams and are in Mariana's office. Yes ladies, 7 boxes. My packages cleared customs, taxes were paid, and delivery was made. It cost around $290. But it was well worth it. Everything arrived in one piece, glass vases and all. I saved tons of money by sending my own things and I am able to add my own personal touches from home to our wedding.

I sent my shipment out on Tuesday-August 7th. I got an email today-August 10th- from Mariana the WC at Dreams Los Cabos and FedEx called her to let her know the pkgs would be arriving tonight and that there is a tax fee that needs to be paid. The resort is paying for the tax fees and I will be billed in my wedding expenses. It took 3 days! I have heard the horror stories but I did my research and contacted a shipping broker that ships for IBM and Microsoft and he gave me the details on how to package, what to say and what courier to use. I also walked through all the steps with the FedEx international rep while I was setting up my shipment online.

Thank you for the idea! I will definitely get the bags and tea lights.

Our recepetion is at the cascade. Thank you for the info.

I am trying to decide whether it is worth having tiki lights and votive candles. From all the beautiful pictures I have seen, the lighting seems perfect for an outdoor reception. Any suggestions Tiki lights or no tiki lights...votives or no votives on the tables. I am all about the less is more concept. But I am literally a few weeks away and I am starting to over think EVERYTHING!

Your pics are beautiful!

All this talk about Cabo is getting me excited! I will let you know if I have any special request for my day...

I actually planned a lot on on my own. But I did have assistance with the travel and I communicated a lot with the wedding coordinator at Dreams for referrals in regards to a florist, guitarist, photographerm and DJ. I created a lot of the items for the wedding and I shipped them to Los Cabos. I did tons of research.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I will definitely be turning to everyone with questions.

I will keep you updated on my shipment. I just checked it and it is in transit to Los Cabos, cleared customs from Guadalajara. I am keeping my fingers crossed!

I actually just shipped some boxes via fedex international today. It is pretty detailed all the forms you have to fill out. I spoke directly with a shipping broker in Cabo that deals with big shipments from the US to Mexico and he recommended Fedex or DHL for smaller event shipping. Everything should arrive within 4 days, go through customs review, and delivered to Mariana @ Dreams. I gave myself about 2 weeks for the stuff to get there.

I am a Dreams Los Cabos bride getting married August 25th, 2007. I am a newbie myself, let me know if I can be of any help.

I had 2 years to plan, did tons of research and I found that the all-inclusive resorts offer great packages. Your guest will love the fact that everything is included. If you work with a good travel agent that specializes in destination weddings that is an added bonus. I am getting married in 15 days at Dreams Los Cabos. Love the onsite coordinator and my travel agent she is part of All About Honeymoons. Let me know if I can be of any help.
