I like #3 but I think I'd like it better with the palm trees the color blue from #4

Well yesterday we had a successful baby shower for FSIL, so now that I don't have to worry about diaper cakes and games, I can get back to focusing on wedding DIY fun. So this week I need to get my YEAR TO GO postcards finished up because it will really be 1 year to go next weekend. Holy schnikes. So excited, and we ended up asking FMIL and FSIL and FBIL yesterday which invitation they liked better because FI and I needed that 3rd unbiased opinion. It is the same wording but just different printing style. So after we get our postcards out we will have to work on our invites that I want to get out next month so people will start booking when airfares are available. Kelly how are your airfares looking for Valentines Day?

I am sorry to hear that you are going through this and I hope that you are able to take the time that you need/want and find what you are both looking for. But I wouldn't think about how others will perceive you, you have to make these decisions based on what you want not on what other people think.

congrats it is beautiful!

I use mywedding.com as well and I like that it can be personalized or you can use their standard pages.

Woo hoo Coco! That's awesome congrats. We are trying to figure out where we want to have our engagement pics shot at. We don't like to posey pose

My travel agent has the wedding perks and the resort credit listed in my contract with MP. But yes the resort credits are offered to all guests through 12/23/12. It's a great program, and a huge reason we picked the Palace Resorts. How is everyone's planning going? I am working on my year to go post cards so I can get them sent out next week Can't believe it.

Hi Ladies, just checking in since we've been quiet lately. How is everyone's planning going? This weekend is my FSIL baby shower and I am cohosting so once I finish that I will be working on my year to go post cards and invitations. I want to send my invitations out in May and since we are doing MIB and aging everything it will take me a while to get those done. What about you all?

Shelby your pictures are amazing, I might have to borrow the parasols as decorations idea!

Dancer The Beach Palace is beautiful and the ocean is everything is beautiful there but there is not a lot of variety. Meaning there are only 3 restaurants, and not a lot of different avenues to explore which is why we chose the Moon. Having said that, weddings at the Beach are AMAZING. See pix attached The Sky Box on top of the hotel gives a 360 degree view of beauty and the beach is beautiful. My FSIL got married at the Beach October 2010. It was beautiful and also the reason we chose to have DW, but a different resort. We wanted more texture. But we will be heading back over to the Beach because our fave bartender will hopefully still be there, and FSIL wants to show him baby pix

i totally agree I love the parasols

Thank you so much for the pictures! They make me so excited

Everything was beautiful Shelby. Okay this may seem silly but for the ladies who have been there or are going for site visits can you tell me what games are available in the Arcade if you happen upon it? FI is a big game freak so I thought it would be fun for him to know.

Doing your own research is key. These ladies and the information available is key as well. That is when I realized my first TA was bad bad. So I found a new one, we are getting married April 17, 2012 at the Moon Palace. I had the same goal for my guests price wise as you do, but airfare is always the stinker so we found a TA that would allow us to book those separately. I love all the options available through the Palace Resorts, and it was important to find my own paradise that would fit in the budget I had for my guests.

okay not obsessed with the Royal wedding, but I can definitely agree that Harry has always had something more going for him than William

do you get a refund for both you and your husbands nights stay or just one person?

Awesome job Coco. This weekend has been kind of a wedding free zone, my FI's dad got married on Friday and lets just say it was a really awkward experience so I am decompressing from that adventure. We did mail out our first Newsletter to the people who have A.booked already or B expressed interest in attending. I don't want to bombard all the people who have received STD's especially if they have told us no because I don't want them to feel pressure. It's a weird situation. Our year to go post cards will get sent to everyone but I want to share the details with the people who want to know them. Newletter.pub.pdf

I agree with JL, don't feel behind feel really lucky to have found this site the day you did. It's amazing, and I honestly don't know where I'd be without these amazing ladies sharing their experiences. I know for sure I wouldn't know the difference between a good TA and a bad one and I would NEVER have made boarding pass save the dates. My FI is so excited by all the MP ladies that he always asks me what you guys are all talking about. It's so cute.

Yeah I'm really lucky! Okay to escort cards, I don't think I've heard them referred to as that before

My FSIL got married at DW at the Beach Palace last October, FI proposed in December and ever since Cancun we'd been talking about having a DW of our own. I honestly probably would have never thought of it until I experienced it. The cost is a consideration but I really want to spend time with the people at my wedding. I don't want to see them for 5 minutes and then be rushed around saying hi to the other 100 people for 5 minutes. I want my wedding to celebrate the love FI and I have for each other with the people whom we love most in the world. I was nervous because I have 7 people total in my family, my dad and my brothers family. I know that my brothers fam 4 kids + wife probably wouldn't be able to go and that makes me sad and I shed some tears about it but there are people whom I thought wouldn't go FI's Aunts and Uncles and that means so much. However, FI's dad and his fiance aren't going because it's not really their type of vacation. Because really it's all about them. I am so glad that your FI's parents were happy for you, that is so important. I also agree expectations suck, I expected FI's dad to not go, but it still really hurt to hear him say it. You will have an amazing time, there really is no experience like a DW. Enjoy every minute

It's funny, I won't mind the beach for pictures, but I don't want sand on my feet when I am standing there. One of those random things i know

Yeah I can't wait either! I wish it was this year. I am sooo in need of a vacation. Where are you hoping to have your ceremony?

Beach, my FI wants to know what an Escort card is. And no i haven't even started dress shopping yet and yes she wore a short dress. My FI just said I can have whatever I want.
