Basically I'm sending a save the date b/c several people going need to request off work very far in advance and start saving $ now so the STD just lets them know the date so they can start planning and saving. I also have our website on the STD so they can check that our frequently. That is where I post any and all new info I get regarding rates, travel etc.

I really wish I could do a site vist, but I just can incur the additional costs at this point. I have found that the feedback on this site from other brides that have been to my site has been very, very helpful and I am comfortable with not doing one. If you can do one though that would be great!

I'm using a travel agent for our destination wedding. So far there are no cons to using her. There is no out of pocket cost to us to use her, she earns commission off those who book through her. My main reason for using her is because she works directly with the wedding coordinator at the resort and saves me a lot of time trying to contact them, get answers about things etc. The other reason is because some family that will be going is older and not good with internet, etc so they can call her and she can handle all their booking needs. With that said, my guests still have the option to book on their own through another search engine if they choose.

My wedding is June 24, 2013. I plan to send my save the dates out this week or next and will probably send official invitations the first of the year.

This is good to know, thank you!!! I'll have to be sure to tell my fiance to pack appropriate shoes!

My resort isn't on there (Royal Playa Del Carmen) but I hope it will be a great resort! I agree TripAdvisor is a really good resource but like others said, there are ALWAYS people that are picky and have negative feedback.

very nicely done!

that sounds easy enough! Thank you and great idea!

these are so cute! How did you the handles?

I'm getting married June 24 2013 at Royal Playa del Carmen. I'm very excited!!! I've talked with travel agent and just received my save the dates. I plan to send them out next week. That's as far as I've gotten!

I'm getting married in Mexico but plan to "legalize" it in US. At first I wanted to do it before but now I'm thinking after for the same reasons mentioned. I don't want to do it before and then it lessen the significance of the ceremony.

Thesevare great, definitely gong to have to check out her site!

Here you go! http://www.ebay.com/itm/230823068685?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

thanks everyone-- I ordered some off ebay today for an excellent price (120 for $7 something)..

I'm using Doris Mundy per the recommendation of another destination bride that is using her. I am very pleased so far!! Doris Mundy Travel Inc The Travel Society 303-447-1660 [email protected] http://www.honeymoonallinclusive.com/

very elegant looking!

pretty!

The boarding pass is a save the date. I'll probably do a passport for the invitations.

I'm using one and so far she's been helpful. My wedding isn't til June 2013 so I'm in the very early stages of planning. But so far she's answered all my questions and been great with her response and coordinating with the resort.

thank you!

how long did it take to get them? I was looking at these but I see they are in Hong Kong and it says 10-15 days...

yes, I am interested! I'll PM you..thanks!

Thank you so much, I just ordered a swatch!!

I'm looking for starfish charms to hang from a raffia bow tied around a boarding pass envelope. Thanks!

I am looking for 50-60 starfish charms if anyone has any. Thanks!
