Does anyone know (I'm hoping some recent brides are reading!) what currency we pay the officiant in? Originally I was told USD but now with the new laws about using pesos I'm not sure if we're supposed to pay him in USD or pesos.
-
I have it confirmed from my WC, to bring in our outside photographer we're paying the $300 fee and the money to have two extra guests at the dinner, but we don't have to get them a day pass. Works out cheaper than renting a room for two nights.

Their package price is quite high. I would hope the quality it better.

I know, I would have hoped that the new photography company would have been an improvement, but so far it doesn't appear to be.
I looked up the price of booking at the Beach or Caribe, which worked out to be $480USD for two nights, plus the extra $66 or whatever it is to have them at the dinner.
I came across another bride on Unofficial Barcelo forum who paid the $300 fee and it sounds like she didn't have to pay for a day pass, just the dinner, but I'm not sure. I hope that's the case, as the photographer I booked has an assistant and I'd have to pay for passes and dinner for both.
I'll try and ask my WC about it. She takes a long time to get back to me and by her replies I'm not sure that she always understands what I'm asking, but I'll let you know what she says.

Sigh, yeah this is my biggest hangup about this hotel... We've booked an outside photographer and this is the reply I got from Xhail last week about it:
it is okay for me, but remember that for external photographers we have a policy in the hotel about the photographer. Barceló Maya Beach Resort has changed its provider for the photo and video solutions. Barceló Maya Beach Resort has an exclusive contract with Kodak & Smile Market. this policy mention that external photographers are not allowed in the hotel, but if the photographer is one of your gests or he is staying in the resort for minimum 2 nights, you will not have a problem. If they are going to be staying for only one night or if they come in the hotel just for the wedding day, you have to pay $300 usd fee to Kodak. If you want to book a room for them you have to contact your Travel Agent and she will book the room also for them, or call the call center in order to do it you directly
So I guess nothing has really changed about their outside photographers policy.

I am already scared of needles and they have a very painful way of taking blood in mexico so thanks but no thanks! lol
We're were going to have the paperwork done here first but now I'm wondering if it could be done after? I'll have to check with our resort. I think we might like that better. For us it's not so much about the blood test (though I'd rather not) but more the convenience of not having to have it mailed to us 4 months later and then having it translated, etc.About the blood draw though, many of the comments on here from other brides say that it was the most painless draw they've ever had, didn't leave a mark or anything.

Ha, I totally wanted to start packing stuff already and I still have 11 weeks to go! The only thing keeping me from starting is that we need the spare room for visitors before then!

It looks like that one is lost. No one has heard from Anna S in a couple of months, I believe.

To those who posted where to find the id badge holders, thanks!! I was looking for those.
-
I browse a lot and read everything, but unfortunately I don't post much, so I can't open that. Can you email it to me? [email protected]
Thanks!
-
I love your ideas, I'm especially jealous of the travel mugs! I really want them but I'm not sure if we can manage money and the extra weight to get them down there.
Where did you get the labels for your first aid kits? They're great, are they a template?
-
Oh, it's good she got back to you. Still booo for me I guess. Thanks though!

Has anyone heard from bnbrmy yet?

To the ladies who've bought the totes from Cheaptotes.com, what did you think of them? Were they big enoug/too big? Didn't fall apart right away or anything? Just curious
-
I am still interested, thanks for checking! I'll PM you with details.
vcwedding2011, how many totes do you need? I actually only need about 20, so if you don't need that many we could maybe split them?
-
I may be interested in the totes. Do you know what shipping for those to R3R 3J8 (Winnipeg, MB, Canada) would be?

Oh, that would be awesome! Yes, let me know if she doesn't answer the PM, I would definitely like to be on the list! -
My dates are Jan 15-29, which is too close to people on the other two lists on here, and I think ktnicole's date is coming up really soon.
-
Aww, booo! I reconfirmed that I wanted to be on the list when Anna S volunteered hers, but I haven't heard anything since so I had started to wonder what was happening. How disappointing!

I really hope I'm not missing something! My guests are getting really excited too, everyone's looking forward to a week away!
Can I ask what you're doing for favours? We're also opting not to do OOT bags, but I'm kind of strapped for favour ideas!
