Hi Tammy, I am interested in organizing the Moon Palace thread. We were recently married there and have been there several times. I would love to help the future brides.

Thanks so much for the kind words!

We had our E-pics done in NYC by Gonzalo Nunez in September. We loved them so much that we wanted to book him for the wedding...unfortunately, he was already booked for our date. Gonzalo agreed to travel 6 hrs by car to do our TTD pics the next day for us. We are so happy with the results. Gonzalo is a great guy with a great personality. He is truly has an artistic edge to his photography. Although I was disappointed that we couldn't have him for the wedding...at least we were able to have him for our TTD!! If you are lucky enough to book him, you won't be disappointed!!

You have to use a coupon link that they frequently send in emails to get the 25 free brochures. If I find a coupon in my email...I will post it here.

Thx ladies for the kind words...It is so nice to get input from all of you. My guests raved about them!

Sorry I am so late at responding. Thx...I did design the postcards on Vistaprint...it took me forever to find the graphics on it in pink. I actually paid a few dollars for it on one of the graphics selling websites.

I am selling my dress from my May wedding. The dress is in great condition, just needs to be dry cleaned. The only visible soil I can see is on the underside of the bottom of the dress and should come off with dry cleaning. The dress is ivory and has a lace-up back. It was altered to my height of 5'3 with 4 inch heels and has a bustle. PM me for pics of the actual dress, I can't seem to upload any from this computer. I am attaching the link to see this dress. PM me with any questions.

Asking: $500 plus shipping or best offer.

Our DJ was not approved, but was affordable. We booked him 1 night at the resort and didnt have any problems.

It is cheaper to get them a room for nite if you have to pay a vendor fee and a day pass. I believe you have to pay both. I paid for a 1 night room for our dj & asst. and our 2 photographers. Cost me just over $300 for each room.

Okay ladies...Here is the template for the luggage tags. I just printed them out on my inkjet printer. Any questions...let me know.

No I used Rebecca's template I found on the forum and printed them on white cardstock and then cut them out. I am at work now, but I will try and post it when I get home.

Vistaprint allows you to make caricatures...I made them for our post it notes, but also used it in the brochure. You design the caricature on Vistaprint and it is saved under your vistaprint images.

Great job!!..They look professional!

Thanks ladies for all the kind words...It was definitely a labor of love. Now that the wedding is over, I find I am a bit bored.

Great job!! They look professional!

Bridal Party Gifts:

  I bought t shirts from Old Navy and the crystal iron ons from Michael’s and made these shirts:

I also had these beautiful cards made for each member of the bridal party and the mother of the bride and groom from the Wonderful Rebecca:

I bought the MOH’s wedding jewelry, a starfish and onyx necklace and starfish earrings.

We chose a personalized Dogtag for our Best Man and ring bearer, this was the best pic I could get:

That’s about it, let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for reading till the end, I know it’s really long. I’ll post my reviews this week.

Signature Drink and Sign:

  I found a recipe for a Pink Diamond and then had an Etsy seller create this sign. Her business card is next to the sign in the pic:

GuestBook:

  We created this guestbook on Adoramapix.com. It is really great quality and came out better than we expected. This will have a starfish pen holder and pink gel pen next to it:

Guest Book Sign:

  I ordered this guestbook sign from an Etsy seller..I can’t recall the name. I placed it in a white frame:

Flower Girl basket ordered from Etsy in pic above.

Flip-Flops:

  We will have a basket of flip flops labeled with each persons name with a framed poem about dancing shoes borrowed from a bride from this forum:

Ring bearer Box:

  I found this unfinished mini treasure chest at Michael’s and stained and finished it. I attached the polka dot ribbon and some mini starfish to the back and sides. I also made a hot pink satin pillow to go inside:

Place cards and holders:

  I borrowed the personalized mini maraca place card holder idea from another bride here. I ordered them from Oriental Trade and painted the top with watermelon pink spray paint. I then painted our M monogram on then with a red paint pen and tied them together with red ribbon. I will attach the place cards in Mexico…placecards made by Rebecca:

Flower Girl OOT bags:

I ordered these personalized bags for the flower girls on Vistaprint and again used my free items link. I also ordered them the hats. The bag fillers I found at 5 below:

I also made one for our ring bearer from Vistaprint personalized with a bear on it as well as a hat and filled it with more “boy†friendly fillers but forgot to take a pic.

Candy Buffet:

  I found the jars at Marshall’s and seller on weddingbee. I am bringing Hershey Kisses, M&M’s, Swedish Fish, Twizzlers, Pink and red fortune cookies and assorted Lollipops all in our wedding colors. This is my mock set up:

Candy Buffet Labels:

  I found these labels in Michael’s that came with templates with designs. I then added a piece of red cardstock to the back:

Welcome Books:

  Yet another idea borrowed from one of the girls on this forum. I ordered clear photo albums and used the template from this site and created this welcome book which is over 12 pages, so I will only post the first 3:

Welcome Dinner Dress:

  I have to post this dress because I love it. I found it on Macy’s .com:

Welcome Dinner Shoes:

OOT Bags:

  I ordered the canvas bag with our monogram, Tshirts, Hats, Pens & post it pads from Vistaprint. I used a link where each item was free and ended up paying a lil over $10 for each set of these items. I got the deck of cards from Michael’s and used a template from this forum to personalize them. I ordered the lanyards and keycard holders from one of the girls selling them here. Notebooks in our wedding colors from Michael’s. Personalized travel cups from Factory21 on Ebay. I found the little  cocktail bottles at Target and then made labels for them. Survival kits, chapstick, sunblock & aloe gel from Target. I found the Advil and Pepto on Amazon. Hand Sanitizers from Bath and Body Works. All templates for the labels for these items, I found on this forum. Survival Kit tops and Chapstick labels made by Rebecca:

OOT Bag Tags:

  I designed these postcards on Vistaprint and then attached them with a ribbon. I couldn’t get a really clear pic of the back, but I had a really cute poem borrowed from one of the girls on this forum:

Favors:

  I ordered these candles from The Knot.com. They are vanilla scented gel candles with real small starfish and shells on the bottom. I wrapped each of them with red tulle and tied it with a pink and red polka dot ribbon. I will add the favor tags when I get to Mexico. Favor tags by Rebecca:
