I am having a small wedding of 10 as well. the good news is you can do a lot since its smaller numbers! we are taking the free tours together as a group, eat together at the restaurants easily! go to the different activities together on the resort (like shows, etc.) it is much easier to travel in small numbers!Quote:

Thanks for the advice. -

WHAT! omg! well, im sure there are crime scenes all over cancun, so you can always tell them that when it comes to partying and clubbing in the city. ultimately even if something happend at the resort it should not raise an alarm. murders happen in my hometown and i still live here safely.Quote:

OK PEople...this is not a random killing...this is a domestic murder at a resort, which is what I am reminding everyone of. But seriously.....none of us really needed this to happen at the resort we are getting married at. Shit will happen....but Geez...why on my watch!
Had to vent. Sorry.
i think guests may either be really concerned and worried.... or finding info to make you feel bad, probably steamed off of jealousy. we have seen that already in our wedding. one girl kept talking trash about what we are doing. she is just comparing our wedding to hers that is also coming up. -
thats a cute idea! im thinking of doing the same but as a basket with favors and even a program of day to day events.Quote:

I'm still finishing my baskets, so far I have
tylenol
chapstick
hand sanitizer
little customized packets of Margarita mix
funny sunglasses
itinerary
Thank you note
I feel like i'm missing some stuff!
what are you girls putting in yours? -
i think there is something on the wedding contract that states they dont receive packages at the moon palace, but i guess if you are sending it to the actual fed ex office, that may be different. its a risky chance tho!Quote:

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!!! -
o shoot! i hope your fiancee is ok!Quote:

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 =) -
i love the photos on shutterfly! are you making a book? gorgeous! thanks for sharing!Quote:

She took them a photo of how she wanted her hair done and they did a perfect job!

Timeshares for the trips!?? Thats awful! So what do we need to do? show our wedding contract and room contract?Quote:

We got pregnant 15 days after the wedding.. which is good because I drank a lot at the wedding, but I had to "pretend" to drink at the AHR.
As for the change to the Passport Savings... that is AWESOME! They only gave us 30% off the golf and a lot of the tours take ALL day so not many of our guests took advangate of the free tours, but would have used the golfing! BEWARE though they will try to make you do the timeshare thing to get the deals (they tried to pull it on our whole group.... I sat in there and refused to leave-- I was still there 2 hrs after they were suppose to close!) and said you need to honor what we were promised over and over until they finally called around and honored what was agreed upon. BEWARE and have your travel agents put it in writing that the moon palace already agree to include it into your wedding packages!! -
AWWW! im glad it turned out so well for you! thanks for this review. All us MP brides are thankful!

so they use the same kind of plugs and outlets we use without needing a converter?Quote:
Originally Posted by FutureMsMoulton If you get married on the beach don't bother with rose petals cause mine were all blown away before I even walked down the aisle. I think 60 cups is plenty to use also.
The plugs are standard US 3 prong plugs. -
I am sorry. I am not sure what is the difference between plated and buffet. I wanted to have our wedding reception the beach but they said they do not do plated or buffets unless we have 20 persons. What does this mean?Quote:
Originally Posted by slapsappyhappy I just wanted to double check that the reception is free if you have 75+ room nights. FI and I have to pay our balance and right now we have 72 room nights. We are willing to pay the extra 3 if the reception will be free because we are also up to 60 people so that would be cheaper.
Free vs. $400 a table....I am hoping the reception can count as one of the "unlimited private functions." Does it?
Also what do you think of having a rehearsal lunch for only the family and bridal party at a restaurant and then a welcome dinner for everyone? I wanted to have a welcome dinner but now we have too many people for the restaurants and would have to get a private function. That means I would have to choose another buffet and location. I wanted it in a restaurant!!! I do not want people to have a buffet one night and then another buffet at my wedding, or have the welcome dinner be nicer than the reception!
If I have the welcome dinner inside it would be plated and nicer than the reception, I wish the reception could be plated instead of buffet! Where we are from in New York if your wedding is buffet then it is considered cheap.
Things that are sneered upon- Sunday daytime weddings, cash bars, and buffets.... I went to a wedding last weekend with a buffet and everyone was talking about it being buffet.... and not in a good way! I like buffet b/c you get to pick and choose but that's the way things are. FI has some rich snobby friends, and I feel like I would have to explain that outdoors there is no other option before they say something, but then I am thinking that the snotty people that I do not like are probably not coming and why do I even care what they think? These New Yorkers...not all are like that but there are too many that are!
Has anyone had the Polynesian menu, it says it has a carving station. How flexible are they with mix and matching? The mango cake with sticky rice just makes my stomach turn, ewww! Need some chocolate in that menu!
Anyway sorry to ramble I have a lot of questions. Good luck this weekend I cannot wait to see your review!!! -
i feel your pain with the passports. it took quite some pushing to get everyone to cooperate and realize timelines for getting them. i guess everyone was not taking us or our wedding seriously. People tend to be slow when it comes to traveling for weddings, i dont know why. i had to explain the passport process OVER n OVER to my guests. they just werent really listening or understanding...but over time things will get better and there will still be a wedding! which is the important thing!!Quote:
Originally Posted by cb280182 On another note its now 4 and a half weeks since I emailed the wedding co-ordinator with my questions. I know it was about 3 pages long but seriously 4 weeks??!! Plus some guests arent being very helpful. My BM only sent her passport off for renewal yesterday and we go in 8 weeks (they say it can take 2 months to process) QUOTE]Don't worry too much about the passport issue. They say up too 2 months...but I just got done applying for a renewal passport for myself and a new passport for my daughter. We had major issues due to custody agreements, etc. in trying to get my daughter's passport...HOWEVER, overall I got them both back in 2.5 weeks almost exactly. i didn't even pay for expedited service. It is more of a stress factor for you than it really is a problem....which I can totally understand. I hate it when people don't SEE that they need to do things NOW! LOL
Also, regarding communication....don't worry too much on this point either. Pretty much every bride on here has had a wonderful experience once they got there. I've had a couple of conversations...really...conversations...with my wedding planner and the general feedback has been that they do what they can to organize things prior, but ultimately they have a decent sized staff that just know "what to do" to make these weddings go off without a hitch! In a crude sort of way...they are a wedding factory...they just KNOW what brides want and they listen to the details when they have you in front of them. It sucks for us control freak women (and we all get a little bit that way when it comes to our weddings!) when we can't nail down the EXACT details months before. I know I am the picture child for control freak....and it is KILLING me that everyone hasn't booked and the activities guy at MP can't seem to confirm the same sentence in one email back to me!
Hang in there....the time is flying and it will all come together! It will be wonderful!!!!
PS - I got an email from the activities guy at MP...that if you have the Palace Passport (which came with our booking of more than 3 nights) the Wet N Wild - Swim With Dolphins day package is only $129 per person. It is $149 per person according to the Wet N Wild website....so there is a small savings...but a savings none-the-less.
He also said the tour to Chichin-Itza is about 10 hours and the tour to Tulum is about 8 hours in length. These are obviously all-day excursions. Just wanted to pass along for those planning!

apparently you can bring some but some favors and decorations MUST be purchased with them, such as floral, etc. But as far as i know, they are pretty easy going with you bringing some items.Quote:

yea, i agree...i was defintely not happy with their new criteria and credits. We booked this resort primarily because we could take the trips. this is huge and important for us and family to enjoy. hoping we dont go over the credit limit!Quote:
Originally Posted by asbarret thats a big pile of bs about the new passport. the old one was included when booking through a TA. this will just be another thing on the list for my TA to fight for. good thing she usually wins...ive already promised my guests free tours! not as good of a deal as the other passport either. that just really pisses me off -
they generally respond faster once you get into the 70 day mark. My WC is Claudia and she has been responding at a fast rate.Quote:

I am a little concerned at how competant she is going to be if she can't even reply to my questions on email. Has she taken ages to reply to anyone elses emails?
Thanks

very nice, thanks for sharing!
here is ours still in the making:

Good Luck to everyone who is still in the planning stage!! -
the gowns with belts are gorgeous...all of them are super stylish, i think i just LOVE beltsQuote:

Fanal by La Sposa (belt is from a local Miami designer..she makes gorgeous belts)
Jorge Manuel
Another La Sposa
This was my least favorite
Hope you ladies enjoyed the pics! I tried on all of these dresses at J. Del Olmo (Coral Gables) and I have to say their service is impeccable. It is owned by a father and daughter team and they loved me so much they asked for me to do an instore show for them the next time they have one. All of the dress were between $1200 - $1600 with the exception of the Jorge Manuel which was $3100. I was impressed because on top of that they always give a 10% discount even when there isn't a trunk show going on. -
I love your weding gown! the opening is gorgeous! what line is this?Quote:

So is SPF +70 more effective than SPF +30. we will have a similar problem. In normal sun my fiancee burns like a lobster...maybe worst than a lobster! he got 3rd degree burns in Georgia. Well we are worried what will happen to him and pretty much also want to apply sunscreen on him every hour. a little scary to think about.
-
Congrats! do you plan on having a long engagement or looking forward to wedding planning now?
-
OHHHHH! and we also looked into the bed and breakfast houses. there was one that was in the middle of tropical hawaii full of gorgeous gardens and had luas and shows daily, i forget the name but it was lovely.
-
If you search on VRBO online or even google vacation houses, villas, cottages in Hawaii there is a multitude of vacation home to choose from. one we saw that we really liked was waiminolo because the beaches were private and beautiful! we decided not to do the hawaiian wedding because it was too exp for guests to attend. but i do suggest renting a home out there.
