so i found a good idea on this board to provide some sort of lei or bead necklace so your guests can identify the people there for your wedding... i am thinking that and a thank you note with travel info is good. i am not sure i want to spend money on a bunch of stuff who knows whether or not people will use.

those look great!!

wow, i love it!! super creative!

thanks for the post! great songs!

think i've decided to skip these and just maybe have a welcome letter and one mexico-themed item in each room. cuts down on costs and things to do. if i had a bag of stuff to assemble, however, i think before you leave is best... that way you can just enjoy being at the resort as much as possible.

victoria's secret sells stuff you should check out... cups you tape on... they won't hurt, just practice first so you feel like you've got it down.

i have to admit i was disappointed i was a huge fan of love actually and he's just not that into you... it wasn't on those levels.

yes you deserve it!! that's sweet of your man to plan that. have fun!

i hate pressure... just be firm with them and say you are having a very intimate ceremony and leave it at that. people seem to be mad no matter what you do. sucks!

that's gorgeous!!

congrats!!!!

thanks for all the info. we are set on omni cancun but are also concerend with privacy - not just at this resort but any resort. how are you guys ensuring some extra privacy?

is there anywhere to order real postcards from mexico online?

My FH works for them here in the UK and works on the international shipping side and things will get ceased at customs if the paperwork is not completed correctly or you have packed things that you are not allowed to ship. Unfortunately I do not know how to help you get your boxes back the problem is the tequila as it is a liquid and therefore banned, so if there is some way of excluding this from your package, you should then be ok. Before shipping anything you should be aware of the customs rules of the country you are shipping to, as well as the courier company - Freight Terms and Conditions - General Terms and Conditions at FedEx.com Here's Fed-Ex's restrictions: You are prohibited from tendering the following items for shipment, and they will not be accepted: - Cash, currency, collectible stamps and coins. - Live animals, except as provided in the Live Animals and Ornamental Marine Life (Including Live Fish) section. (Edible seafood, such as live lobsters, crabs or other types of fish and shellfish for human consumption, is acceptable, provided the shipper is in compliance with all local, state and federal laws.) - Animal carcasses. (Animal heads and other parts for taxidermy may be accepted but must be properly packaged. This restriction does not apply to properly packaged meat or poultry products intended for human consumption.) - Human corpses, human body parts, human embryos, or cremated or disinterred human remains. - Shipments that require us to obtain a local, state or federal license for their transportation. - Shipments that may cause damage or delay to equipment, personnel or other shipments. - Lottery tickets and gambling devices where prohibited by law. - Hazardous waste, including, but not limited to, used hypodermic needles or syringes, or other medical waste. - Packages that are wet, leaking or emit an odor of any kind. - Live insects. - Shipments or commodities that are prohibited by applicable local, state or federal law. - Waste or garbage for disposal. Notwithstanding any other provision of the FedEx Service Guide, we are not liable for delay of, loss of or damage to a shipment of any prohibited item. The shipper agrees to indemnify FedEx for any and all costs, fees and expenses FedEx incurs as a result of the shipper's violation of any local, state or federal laws or regulations or from tendering any prohibited item for shipment. The alcohol comes under the point relating to 'products that are wet, leaking, or omit an odor of any kind' Hope this helps someone!! this helps everyone!! thank you for posting!

loved looking at Sascha's site... will definitely consider!

i think i'm having a girls night or girls day before-hand. and everyone meet at the lobby bar or something... no need to spend tons more money at an AI.

great idea unless people come in at different times. wonder if there is a way to make a deal with a cab company or something to be charged? as long as they are very reputable!

coco bongo is the best!!!!!!! plus, last time i was there they had a $40 deal per person that included open bar, a t-shirt and admittance. definitely a good deal. senor frogs is also fun.

That's what sold me Good Luck! Once you find a resort it gets much eaiser wow, holy crap! does that include food & alcohol? decorations?

we haven't really decided, but i love the khaki suits... maybe with a short sleeved shirt underneath so he can take off the coat. a co-worker of mine got married on a beach and everyone wore white short-sleeved button up shirts and black shorts... looked way cute. i want something a tad bit more formal, but that's another idea for ya.

i agree with the tripadvisor suggestion. plus, post on the forums there to get additional feedback after reading some reviews. they also sort hotels by popularity and some comment on weddings they see there or have been to. you should be able to search specifically for that too.
