Lindsey- Have you or your guests checked out buying your vacation from a palace member? We are staying at Cancun Palace and paid $2084 for the week. That also includes a bunch of free stuff. I know that it's the same price at Beach Palace. Those members can also sell nights at Beach Palace for $340 a night with a three night minimum stay. If you want me to forward you the website from the member that we bought from, please let me know. If you have to switch resorts, it will all work out! Your wedding day will be perfect. Regardless of the resort you will be with your husband, family and friends. I like the idea of the fan too.

Hi- I have contacted Cancun Catamarans, Cancun Catamaran Tours, Cancun Sailing, Sailboats in Cancun, Yachts and Deep Sea Fishing Charters.. It's one american and one brit who own the company. They are very nice. I have not booked yet. They have a 4 hour minimum charge for the private charter. We are looking to do a 4 hour sunset cruise leaving at 3:30p. He quoted me $1025. That includes snacks and drinks. We can snorkle if we want, but we are not going to. I tried to contact a few other places, but there was a language barrier. I want to know if this is a good price! This price was for a 46 foot catamaran that holds 40 people. We are having 20 people and don't want everyone to be on top of eachother. Keep me posted with price info that you get!

I don't think that we are going to do programs. I think that I am going to put an iternary together and put it in my oot bag for the guests. If you come across a unique program idea, please share!

Hello Palace Resort Brides- I am thinking about having a violin or a sax play during the wedding ceremony. Has anyone used the muscians from Palace resorts? Does anyone know what instruments make up the trio? I think that the sax and violin run around $400 and the trio is a little more expensive. What would you suggest? I am leaning towards the violin.

Hello- Men's wharehouse is having a sale that ends on Jan 25th. One of their buy one get one free offers is for a tan silk three button suit. We saw the suit and it's perfect for a destination wedding. We are having one person stand up with my FI, so we gave the BM the free suit. For those of you that are looking for a great suit for a great price, check this out. You can place the order online or in the store! Here is a link to the site. http://www.menswearhouse.com/menswear/detail.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1408474395562783& FOLDER%3C%3EbrowsePath=1408474395562783&CAWELAID=4 7755575[/url]

I ordered some stickers from zazzle yesterday! I can't wait to get them. I tried to create some myself, but I had some issues. I am not crafty at all! Once I get them, I am going to try and scan the sticker and see if I can reproduce them onto sticker paper. I got the 3" stickers (6 per sheet). I think that they were a little expensive, even with the coupon! From what I've read, it looks like we will start getting some good coupons sent to us now that we have made a purchase. I will purchase from them again!

welcome to the boards! You will find great ideas and advice on these boards. Have fun reading through the posts and helping plan the wedding!

Hello- It's costing about $2700 per couple for 7 nights hotel, air and transfers from the Chicago area. I think the Cancun Palace is a 5 star hotel too? From what I've read, it looks like the prices are comparable!

I am so glad that I came across this board. As of today, I now have to address this situation. My FI and I decided to have an April wedding about two months ago. We wanted to elope, but decided to invite only immediate/close family to the wedding. We may have a AHR when we return. We invited 10 couples, and now his two sets of parents want to invite their friends to the wedding too. Since we are having a small wedding, I don't want these extra guests to come. If we allow the parents to bring one set of friends, then they will push it an invite a few extra friends. We are paying for our wedding and I have never met these people in 5 years! I don't want to be rude, but I think that if they bring extra guests, they won't mingle with my family. My FI could care less who attends! Is it rude for me to say that those guests can vacation with them, however, they have to make other plans for our event prior to the wedding and the wedding ceremony/reception? I don't want to sound crazy, but I have to put my food down and say NO. How have you guys dealt with this? His two sets of parents have not met mine since they live in different states. any advice would help.. thanks

Our wedding is April 23rd and we only have one couple booked so far. I am not worried about it. We made our travel arrangments, but I know that our guests are trying to find the best deals. It will all work out in the end!

Regardless of age, these boards are so much fun to read! I've gotten great ideas from reading through these posts. Have fun..

Not sure if you are considering silk pants, but Men's Wharehouse is having a buy one suit get one free sale on select suits. The sale goes untill the 25th. We bought a Joseph & Feiss Resort three button tan suit for $229 and got one free! If your FI is considering silk, Tommy Bahamma makes nice linen and silk pants. They can be expensive, but I have found the Tommy silk pants at Nordstrom rack in all sizes!

The Spanish Phrases is a great idea for the OOT bags! I also picked up the cocktail book in addition to the spanish phrases.

Thank you for the info! Looks like I will be making a trip to Michaels.
