Ladies, Thank you for the wonderful advice for extending the party and champagne toast. I think we are going to just end the dance and go to the disco and let the party continue as long as my guests want and we could slip away. We have a 5pm ceremony so I think I want to have the champagne toast around 5:45 or so and cocktail hour start around 6-6:30. I guess the timeline is going to be the hardest thing for me as well. As for the save the dates. I used vista print. We did a "Save the date & book a room" for our June 19, 2014 wedding. We wanted to give our guests enough time. With our TA we have deadline of October 1st to make a deposit of $100 per person. We did a website through the knot and my TA did a travel website. This way I can update my guests without having to send out emails all the time, but I think emails would work as well. As for decorations, my family said they would be willing to set up the extras I bring along. Do they charge to set up like escort cards, table linens, centerpieces? Or can my family just do it with Ramon? As for the videgrapher you get with the package, anyone have any more info? Just curious when they are around and for how long? Welcome new comers!!

Just curious if any brides aren't extending their reception? I don't think we are going to so that would mean we are done around 10pm. I think I've read they have a disco area we could head to or I was thinking just hitting up a bar to keep the party going. What are other brides doing or did in the past? Also when do most people use the champagne toast? I was thinking during dinner and speeches, but now I'm thinking after the ceremony while we take a big group picture and before the cocktail hour. This whole time line is rather confusing to try and get the most of everything. Thanks Ladies!

Mya, So the resort photographer that comes with the package is only around for 1 hour? We have the Divine wedding package. We are bringing a friend, but thought of using them for our "trash the dress" photo shoot.

Zeman, Yea how very exciting. Oct will be here before you know it too. I am still in the crazy, we are really doing this stage. We just got our "Save the Date & Book a Room" invites. That is going to be how we invite the small group to Mexico, not sooo small we hope 25-35 people come. Good luck!

zeman321, Sorry for the delay I have been out of touch. I knew within a week. I am also working with a TA but she sent in my information to Anel and copied me on the email so when Anel responded I knew right away. I would maybe contact your TA again, but I know from emailing with Anel a few times she can get back to me within a day or sometimes a week. Good luck!! Hi ladies so I have June 19, 2014 any other brides around then!!

Hey Ladies, I'm a newbie to the thread, I just sent off my wedding date request today for June 2014. I am hoping to hear soon from Anel and my TA we can start getting our group bookings. I was curious how people picked their own room. We were thinking ocean front, any preferences? Thanks!
