I have been on vacation few times at Catalonia Maroma and Catalonia Tulum . They are both amazing resorts. I do prefer Catalonia Tulum because its adults only but Maroma is amazing as well.  I have seen one wedding at Maroma and it looked nice. Same group had dinner reservation at one of the restaurants.  If you girls have any questions regarding the resorts I would gladly answer them 

Love the ideaaaa. I just have to figure out who can do this for me lol. Probably mom or my best friend. Every time I go on vacation I tell myself I will clean the house before leaving but it never happens 

I hate when someone says that they don't have money to come to your wedding and next thing you know they are planning a vacation/trip 2 months after your wedding. 

I will also do a boudoir album. Since I am tight on money I will have my best friend take pictures of me I will just get an album. I was thinking of getting a professional photographer but when I checked prices I decided not to.

Honestly I don't think there are any rules, you can do what you feel like doing. We will have our AHR when we come back from Mexico, probably 2 weeks after. I would like to have it outside but it is too cold in Chicago in October and I didn't want to wait until May.

Great site....thank you for sharing. I think I can add more stuff to my OOT bags lol

We are just having MOH and best man since we knew that both of them would be coming for sure. My other friends were not 100% sure if they would be able to come so I didn't ask any of them to be part of the bridal party.

My mom wanted to pay for my dress but I didn't let her because I know that she is kind of tight on money right now.

Oh god I hope that they will be done by the time we get down there

Laura what is your wedding date? I know that during winter months most people go to their rooms by 6pm. I have been to Mexico few times during winter and we would always go to our room by 5pm because the sun goes done and it gets chilly in the water.

I just wanted to share a great deal that I found today. I stopped by Wal Mart and found green and blue bubba kegs for $4 ea. They are 34oz. So ladies check your local Wal Mart they might have them on sale.

 I am freaking out girls. I just read bunch of reviews on trip advisor about beach at Dreams Tulum. They all say that it is very rocky. All my guests love to swim in the ocean and not the pool. We never swim in the pool. Please tell me that its not as bad as they say it is .

I agree with everybody else. Your guests are already paying enough to see you get married so it would be nice from the bride and groom to pay for the dinner. Honestly I would be offended if I went to a wedding and I was asked to pay for my own dinner.

They have a warehouse in NY. Here is the address that they have on their website:

Wowwww I love your dress!!!!!!!!!

I am thinking about wearing this one but I am not 100% sure yet...

I just wanted to share a web site I just came across. They have some cheap stuff for wedding favors.

I went to 2 different Dollar Tree stores today and couldn't find those beach bags that everyone talks about. Also they are out of stock online    These are nice and they are very inexpensive so thank you for sharing 

Wow amazing...THANKS!!!

Does anybody know if you have the reception by the pool do you have to pay $750 set up fee? I am not having a lot of guests so we are thinking about going with the free package and just reserving a table in the restaurant and paying the $25pp. Now after reading few posts I am thinking about having a small reception by the pool and picking the silver menu but I am not sure if we have to pay $750.

I was thinking about getting married in March as well but prices skyrocket during that period because of spring break. Did you maybe consider getting married in April or May??  It is a lot cheaper during those two months, especially in May.

here are the places i was looking at and the things i didnt like about them that bothered me the most:

Now Jade- the area around it is ugly and i read dangerous! and no nightlife
 

Barcelo Maya Colonial & Tropical-this place is HUGE!!..i think it would be hard to find my guests! and they charge $300 for on outside photographer!..iam bring a friend who does photography you think they'll charge me?

 

dream riviera & dreams cancun- out of my price range

moon palace- really big! just think about it this place has 2,500 rooms!!..thats alot of people...

 

iam not trying to be a debbie downer, i am just expressing my feelins towards my own personal situation. If i could afford it and my guests i would get married at Dreams Riviera! but now iam having to look at somewhere else

Definitely a Coach wristlet. You can never go wrong with that one.

I am in the same situation as you .  We finally decided that we want to do DW for sure so I started planning right away. My top two choices are Dreams Tulum and Now Jade. I am kind of leaning towards Dreams but I am not sure 100%. Let me know what you decide.

I am also planning to do just the symbolic ceremony to avoid the blood test.
