  1. Curious.. what is Trash the dress?? I keep hearing about it, but I am not exactly sure what this means. Unless plain and simple- to trash the dress! jodimichelle
  2. I am trying to take it easy and not get too overwhelmed regarding planning, but it is so difficult. I understand that as soon as we get there they will accommodate us. Sigh sigh.. FED EX. that would be awesome!! And how do we send it and to where and to attention to This would be great. Food choices... has anyone decided on that?? I am just going to print everything I want out, and hope for the best!!!

And than I have the welcome dinner the night before the wedding. Just curious, for those who have used the group contract did anyone of your guests use their timeshare? Did the MP honor those days? Sky bar.. where is that located? Do you have a pic of it? My problem is I am having 60 guests..but since I am having that many..i will get the unlimited private events..so maybe once all my guests book, they will allow me to have private events so it will accommodate all 60 guests! idk!

Don't be nervous (I know easier said than done..I am nervous too) from past brides they say as soon as you get there, they cater to your every needs. Advice from others ...just have everything you want with you and show them what you have!! Hope all goes well! Question- How many guests are you having? I am expecting about 60. Every night more guests are coming. Are you arranging for meeting spots with your guests? I want to have an itinerary, but not one that they HAVE to follow, but somewhat of a plan..
  5. Thanks for your review. how many guests did you have? I have about 60 guests coming in total. I want to have somewhat of an itinerary and if my guests choose to come they can..what can I plan.. like meet here at this time, etc etc. What do you suggest??

Good luck everyone! Heather thanks for the review. I will be checking out now!!
  7. Hey girls. Hope your wedding planning is going well. My fiance and I decided we are going to be honeymooning at Secrets Maroma! Here's my question, which room category would you girls recommend? Secrets Maroma: junior suite partial oceanview - junior suite oceanview junior suite swim out preferred club junior suite oceanview - preferred club junior suite oceanfront I heard the swim out pool is not worth it, but i'd like to hear your opinions and hopefully soon because I need to book!! Thanks so much
  8. MRHOADES... terrible ..honestly, I hated David's Bridal, but my cousin found her dress 7 years ago and it was great. I guess you just had the "lemon". Anyway, I am sure there are plenty of shops you can go to that will be able to help you out. Sometimes you can even buy it off the rack. Try department stores as well. I hope it all goes well for you.. You have a full month, but I would start looking now and make your decision soon. Lots of luck PS- HOW DO I POST MY STD PICS FROM a MAC COMP. It wont let me do it..
  9. I am getting married at Moon Palace and I was thinking about spending our HM at Secrets Maroma! I am like 3 months away you would think I had this planned out.
  10. Thanks.. I guess that's what the problem is. As of right now Angie my WC only knows of 2 rooms booked, but Janina in Miami knows of 11. In any case, I guess I will just have to wait until my guests begin booking (hopefully soon) so I can arrange for the unlimited events. In fact I am going to write her an email now, bc I want to make sure she will accommodate my "wants". Thanks again!! Also- Does anyone know where I can purchase plastic square 6 x 6 vases? I live in NYC area and haven't been in the city yet, but when I look online I cannot seem to find it. I love one of the centerpieces they have, but the vase is dark and I am bringing LED lights, but with a dark Vase it won't look right.
  11. Last July which was a year before my wedding, flights were $ 200 round trip. We told EVERYONE. My parents were the ones who had listened and booked their flights.. We constantly kept and eye our for flights.. By Sept the flights went somewhat up..By Oct -Jan the flights were very high. As soon as Jan hit the flights began to drop. But yet again by the end of FEB. flights went up and all i keep seeing is the prices are going up. I do think they will drop again. Not sure how much. My fiance and I booked in Dec. And when the prices dropped in Jan. we called Continental and had them adjust the price!! We have kept an eye out the entire time and have been constantly telling our guests. Now those who haven't booked are complaining. IDK what to say, but I told you so. My reception is outdoors!! So is my Ceremony. Can someone clarify this for me. We are expecting 60 guests. At that point we will qualify for the unlimited events. What exactly does that mean Also, I arranged to have a Rehearsal dinner and I waned a welcome dinner, but my WC said she cannot reserve two?? It is a vacation for my guests so I do not want to give them an itinerary before or after our wedding, but I do want to give them the option of joining us at the restaurants etc, but i doubt they will accommodate for the amount of guests i have. Any suggestions?
  12. Welcome all brides to be!! I will be there June 30th! I am still trying to decide which package makes more sense for us. My fiance and I just finished our Invitations.. it needs to be printed and hopefully sent by next week. We are expecting about 60 guests. We are having a bigger turn out than we expected. I am not complaining I am quite excited. I am just really nervous. The communication seems to be ok. I email my WC questions she responds in a week then I send her more questions. I feel like there is soo much to decide and since I am not in this industry I am becoming overwhelmed. Maybe I am just crazy, I dont know! Jo&delo: Good luck with everythign. Cannot wait to hear about it!!

I cannot rem. if we already discussed that you are getting married a day before me! When do you arrive in cancun? I arrive JUne 30th.
  14. I am trying to decide on what type of fabric to order for my sashes.. SATIN or ORGANZA? Does one wrinkle more than the other?!!? I am assuming Satin with wrinkle more.

That was my concern too, so I am getting married back home first and having a symbolic ceremony there!
  16. MRHOADES: Where did you get the chair bows and did you ask if they will put them on the chairs for you? How much were they? I might be purchasing sashes myself. Idk I am still deciding between diamond and free package. I asked my WC for her opinion so I am waiting for her response. I am also planning on doing the sand ceremony. Have you priced around? I am thinking about using a frame. If you need DIY instructions on how to do it yourself PM me because I copied how to create one in a word document.

I am doing the Sapphire package, I love their photos of it but who knows what it REALLY looks like... If you are going to do a soloist then it definitely pays to do a package. I got real touch flowers but I plan on using the free bouquet for decor... I don't think the packages include table runners or sashes though... just ceremony decor. Last night I had a horrible dream that I was at MP on my wedding day and I had never spoken to a WC, then the spa was too booked and could not do my makeup, then I was waiting in my dress and I missed the transportation from the Sunrise to the Nizuc. As I had arrived late to the ceremony they skipped half of it, then the reception was just coffee tables with fake flowers on it, a styrofoam cake, and no music. This is bad! I still have 4 1/2 months to go and I am already having nightmares! I cannot wait to read some more reviews!!! Ugh such a horrible dream. I have not dreamed such dreams yet, but I have been stayin up tossing and turning. So many thoughts are running through my mind. I am scared that it is going to be a disaster, or that things are going to go wrong. But when I read pas bride's reviews they make me feel so much better. I have heard that once you get there MP wants to do everything to make you happy and will do their very best to achieve greatness. That also makes me feel a lot better. Planning a wedding is one thing, but planning a wedding far away with only online communication is hard. I am no creative AT ALL and luckily my fiance is the artsy one. it comes with : Chairs of aisle draped in silver satin.. do they use the same chairs for the ceremony and for the reception
  18. Hey girls... So my fiance and I have been contemplating changing from free to a diamond package. There are things I would like to have at my wedding that is not incuded with the free package. For example- Soloist, the horse carriage, runners for the tables and sashes. I know previous brides had said that no substitutions, so we would need to pay for "extra" stuff. At this point i feel that doing it this way saves us money. Any opinions? The only thing I don't know about is the flowers that i would prob change if i could.

I think that it rolls down to expectations versus their kindness.....they will go out of there way once you are there to make things roll smoothly as a kindness. Does that make sense? I feel much better now and am off to figure out the wording of our actualy invitations that I haven't sent out yet! LOL GOOOD TO HEAR! Honestly it annoyed me, but hearing that makes me feel a lot better! Thanks so much

But glad to hear that everything is falling into place!
  21. Hey girls.. I am not getting married here, but I am considering staying here for my honeymoon! I will have to read this thread a little more to make my decision between this resort and Excellence!
  22. Love your centerpieces.. I would love to do something like that.. idk idk.. so many options..my problem is: that where I am gettin married if i choose to bring items down, i need to arrange for them to be setup. I do not want to have to put my family and bridesmaids on duty!
  23. Hey Girls. I am 3 1/2 months away until my wedding day!! I am both excited and nervous! But knowing MP and the previous brides everything seems to work out in the end. If you have any questions PM and I will try and answer you. If anyone needs Invitations STD PM as well!!
