OMG i have been sitting around doing nothing for the past few weeks now i log on and u guys are all busy bees so jealous idk what to do.This might be a dumb question but Am i suppose to have a contract with my TA all she said was let me know when your ready for a room block. We havent done a room block because we have not even sent out our STD we are having a hard time figuring out who we really want to invite lol, plus we ordered some spanish STDs for some family members in mexico, Does anybody think we need another website set up in spanish or should we just translate everything on the same website? im confused . Is everyone contacting there WC though email i emailed mine about 3 weeks ago and have heard nothing grrrr

Totally off topic but was wondering if anyone else has tried signing up for the starfish passing thread i think it would be neat to use a starfish that has been passed down by other brides as the something borrowed anyway they have some drama going on on that thread so i got no response lol anyway so wanted to see if anybody else tried and actually got a response.

HI everyone

i just found this thread im a 2012 bride too

Our date is May 19th 2012 congrats and happy planning everyone.

I feel the same way having a panic moment thinking no one will go we have had our STDs for about 2 months now and im scared to send them out because i dont think im ready to hear peoples negative comments:( my bridesmaid have been great tho one even said she will get a part time job just to save money for the trip but as for my aunts and everyone else they are so negative most of the time about everything im scared to even tell then about it. My mom isnt beeing very supportive either she hasnt even botherd asking me how my wedding plans are going o well i guess i just gotta a pair and send them out.
 

Im not sure if this depends on your TA but this is what is required trough my TA

"Your guests would be required to guarantee their room reservations with a one night deposit at time of booking, there would be a second deposit due date set by the hotel (usually about 120 days prior to arrival date) to complete 50% of total room charges and final payment would be due 45 days prior to arrival date.  Each guest would receive a confirmation invoice from us upon booking detailing the deposit/payment deadlines.  Guests usually welcome the payment plan rather than having to pay in full if booking online and they can also make installment payments in between as long as each deposit is completed on the due dates".

Happy planing JL. i dont think your behind with the help of this website you will soon be on top of everything! plus if you have any question im sure we can all help it feels like we all have tons of info already and they do take a while to reply.

Thanx for sharing! im still so excited about your date lol!

it looks like some of mine are a bit lower just a few dollars but hey sometimes every Dollar counts here are mine and your aware of the $1500 resort credits right? and the comp stuff based on the room nights in your group those im sure are the same no matter who you book though.

i just watched it! only 3 mns of it and wasnt too interested in the rest lol dj is a good choice to spend that money on instead

So I have been in contact with Katie from Zuniga/Deco Cancun and she is super nice and super super helpful.  Anyway, FI and I were interested in having some sort of entertainment and was thinking of fire dancers.  However; after the video that Katie sent, we are going to save the $500 and spend it on the DJ.  We decided this because the firedancers were not what we expected and after 5 minutes of watching the clip we both looked at each other and said we will pass.  Here is a clip if interested http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA_32Oi2QRw

But I do have a question...when I sign the contract does that mean I'm excepting the group rates my wedding sales coordinator sent me or just reserving the date?

wow those are soooo awesome u did great job!

oops sorry here u go

deco.docx

- id love to do that but there is just way to many idk if its my computer that its slow but it takes forever grrrr. anyway i will post things i think might be of interest

-summerdawn they have soooo may different ones too but the one i like are these

Thats great im glad you where able to open it.  I have alot other stuff let me know if you need anything i might have it too lol

if it doesnt just email me at [email protected] and i will forward you what you want just let me know if you want lounge seating or certerpeieces cause there is tons of emails lol. hope this helps!

Yes Zuniga aka deco cancun. Im working with Katie all i told her was i wanted the centerpieces from the amber package she quoted me at 960 pesos which is about $96 i will use those for the chapel and move them to reception after since comp package does not include flowers for chapel. She sent me tons of pictures of many other centerpieces no prices but i would just tell her which one and she would send me the price. I also got quoted for lounge seating. i hope this works this is an slide show she sent me

Centros%20de%20mesa%20Centerpieces[1].pptx

Everyone really seems very in control of everything! I just got my contract and im about to fax it tonight soooooo excited! I kinda feel like i started planning way ahead and have alot done i got my free save the date postcards from vista print and loooove them i chose them  before i even realized they wher free. I dont want to get alot done and then sit around with nothing to do for a year. Does anyone else feel that way? I have also been talking to katie with deco cancun she is great and responds with pics right away and me and my FI decided to go with the comp package and just add stuff. Also we are getting our centerpieces just like the ones for the amber package from deco cancun we are using them in the chapel and then moving them to the recption for center pieces that is saving us so much money too. when is everyone planning on looking for there gown i really wanna start but like i said i feel im rushing things lol.

omg this sounds super cute i wanna be part of it can someone tell me how it works? my wedding isnt until may 2012 though but would still love to borrow a starfish and buy one and pass it on. 

Thank you! i actually did call and ...... "they didnt get it" ugh but o'well they took all my info over the phone and now i have to wait until they ask the priest if he is available. i learned my lesson tho no more emailing them and if i do i will call to make sure they get it lol.
