Thank you all for all the wonderful ideas and great questions you've brought to the forum in the past several months. We couldn't have done all this planning without your input. As soon as we return I promise to post a full review. Thanks again and wish for sunshine!!! Chelle Good luck on your special day Chelle! We won't be leaving till the 14th. Have a safe trip. I know, I was worried about the weather reports though. Praying for good weather at least on our days!

Thanks! This was really helpful. I've tried and tried to figure out how to do iron-on transfers for the longest time ever.

Your invitations look wonderful! I couldn't tell you made them yourself.

I have to admit, DIY-ing is kind of addictive. Not to mention that it's totally fun.

Got busy and finished my program fans. Just used shimmery cardstock and a popsickle stick. Also made luminaries for additional table decor. Because of the wind, I used LED lights bought at the dollar store. Wrapped them with damask-printed vellum that I had hand stamped WITH LOVE. I am planning to line them up in a row on the long rectangular tables.

I heard that David Pena is only available for the larger packages though.. LIke you have to purchase the other photography packages

SlapSappy, wow that price alone is quite scary too. Did you guys get a group contract through MP? It's way way cheaper with the group contract. Also, some of my guests are sharing rooms with each other and splitting the cost to make it cheaper. As for airfare, we booked around April when plane fare from Chicago to Cancun was around 290-350 round trip.

My main motif is apple green and then using olive green as an accent color.

Soo cute! thanks for sharing!

Congratulations! It sounds like you had so much fun on your wedding.

Brighter NOTE: We got legally married on Friday !!!!ya for us!! We tried to keep it a secret, but we were too excited to keep it from our friends!! So NOW back to wedding planning! Those who have gotten married or who will be getting married...without a MC, but had the speakers and used their IPOD- who announced the bride and groom and things like that.. your first dance etc etc?? Did it seem weird using an IPOD without a DJ/MC? GOOD LUCK TO ALL =) Yikes! So sorry to hear what happened on your hubby's bachelor party. Congratulations on getting married though!

Congratulations to your daughter.She looks wonderful!

They look gorgeous! Nicely done. I am sure your guests will appreciate every bit of effort you put into them.

Post pictures! We would love to see!

Moon Palace is waay bigger than Beach Palace but Beach Palace has a lovelier beach. Perfect if you want to get married on the beach!

Thanks for the review. Your pictures are gorgeous!

Nice job Jackie! DIY is kind of addictive...

Thank you for the ideas! I was currently looking around for ideas to make program fans.

Thanks kokukitty. This one just grabbed my attention. I love white on a cake.

Mint green is really pretty! I think a nice bright pink goes really well with mint green. You can also use brown as a neutral though I don't think a dark brown cake looks very appetizing. If all else fails, go with white and mint green flowers.

I thought I saw a post similar to this one. I have seen one bride use pinwheels. She had everybody in her wedding party (BM, FG) carry a pinwheel and she even used pinwheels to decorate their aisle!

Anybody has an updated map of the Moon Palace Resort? My WC sent me a map but it's the old one which does not even have the Grand Side where some of my guests are staying! I tried to download one at the Palace Resorts website but I couldn;t.

We are staying about a week but most of our guests are staying 3 nights and 4 days.

We did not book through a TA but me and my guests just booked directly with MP through the group link provided. I think the price of the hotel room combined with airfare, my guests paid for about 1500-1600 so not that too far off.

The shuttle will stop at several resort but MP is the closest so it should be the first stop. I think if you have to wait a while at the airport, it would be frustrating as the actual shuttle ride will only be 15 mins. Waiting for the shuttle is the worst b/c you are so excited to be there and you just want to get to the resort and get out in the sun! I know that you can arrange your airport transfers through MP. You can go onto their website for reservations. I think it's $10 per person.
