Dreams Cancun - Questions for those married here!


Recommended Posts

I have my OOT bags mostly complete - and I actually not only selected items based on cost, but on size too.  Imagine how much luggage space it would take to travel with that many towels!

 

The "nice" items I put in my bags:

pashmina for the ladies (in a neutral non-wedding color so they can use again)

aviator sunglasses for the men (both of these items from an online wholesaler)

sun visors (not personalized)

travel mugs (from dollar store - not personalized)

personalized koozies

 

Then I put a "In sickness...." bag with:

tissues

Advil

Pepto

aloe gel

first aid kit

hand sanitizer

 

And a "...and in health" bag:

Propel drink packets

gum

jelly beans

floss picks

(and maybe one or two more tiny things that I can't remember)
 

What I haven't completed for the OOT bags are the Welcome letter and the itineraries.  I plan on having a guest version of the itinerary and and family version (includes family picture times and rehearsal/dinner).

 

Hope that helps.  If you are interested in where I bought anything, just let me know.

We bought our bags at the Dollar Tree.  I am relatively certain that some of my guests will leave their bags at the resort and the rest probably wouldn't use it again if I put my name or wedding date on it.  So I didn't want to waste a lot of money on the bags.

 

The personalized koozies came from discountfavors.com
 

Good luck with choosing your items.

We got our bags from cheaptotes.com (99 cents).  I was wondering if anyone had gotten them from there.  Ours have not arrived yet, but should be Tuesday. :)  We also got create your own iron-decals from staples that we will put on the bag.  I am thinking something with a sun or palm tree and put Cancun 2011 on it.  We also found bags with printable bag toppers at staples. Which we will be flling with:

 

We ordered from minimus.biz and got the following:

advil

pepto

gatorade singles

gum

hand sanitizer wipes

chapstick

aloe vera gel

 

All for $138 and free shipping.  Which I though was great.  I am making 40 bags!!

 

One of my bridesmaids is a dental hygienist, so she will hook me up with some floss as well.

 

Next we are looking at koozies which will be fun.  And I think that we will be getting luggage tags.  My fiance wants to make welcome programs, so I am going to go ahead and let him be in charge of that.  He also wants to get personalized labels that would fit around the chapstick.

 

Ugh.  So much to do.  But stuff is ordered.  I will put up some pics as I get stuff complete.  Thanks for everyones help and awesome suggestions.

 

Anyone else thinking luggage tags?  And if so, has anyone found a cheap place to order from.

 

Thanks!

If you find any cheap luggage tags please let me know.  I think I read from a previous bride that my travel agent sent out tags and info packets to her guests.  I wish I knew whether she still did that so I can plan accordingly.  But we closed out our group last week and final payments are due next week so hopefully if she still does those things she will send them out next week.

 

I heard back from Claudia after a couple of weeks and she gave me the option of the terrace or the garden for the cocktail hour and I am not sure which to go with.  I have seen pictures of the Terrace so that seems like the safe bet.  But part of me thinks it would be nice for the guests to not see the cocktail hour location during the ceremony.  Does that seem silly?  I wish I knew more about the garden area.  I have been to resorts where they have wedding events right next to, or in between, buildings with hotel rooms so you could sit out on your balcony and watch the event.  You know the Terrace isn't that way, but I wonder about the Garden.  This is what happens when you aren't able to visit your venue before having your wedding.  I have asked my travel agent (former Dreams Cancun bride) for her opinion.

Went to the Dreams Cancun facebook page and took a look at the Visual Tour.  There was a location listed as the "Spa Wet Area" which turns out to be an outdoor location.  I asked my travel agent if this is what they consider the Garden (I think the Garden and the Spa Garden are the same thing, right?)

I have put together a wedding week survival kit, with a spanish/english dictionary, first aid kit with pepto, advil, a sewing kit, personalized koozies (oriental trading) pen/paper, single crystal light packs,  tissues, sunblock, playing cards, hand sanitizer. 

 

 Were should I look for the pashmina's?

I believe that you can have it by the spa garden because I know I have seen a pic on this site of a reception there.   However the garden reception pics that I was sent by Claudia were of the grassy area by the pool, over that way.  Which is still really beautiful because you can see the gazebo, pool, and ocean.  

Question for everyone, how far apart are you doing the wed, cocktail hour, and reception. We are thinking wed at noon, the pics, then cocktail hour, then dinner at 4pm.  I know it seems far apart but since we will be a small group I figure after the ceremony and pictures everyone could go freshen up in their rooms or sit at the bar in between the dinner times.  I know all the weddings I went to there was always a huge gap and you socialized in between.  Or should I move the wed until 2pm?  Claudia thought my gap was big but she said it's up to me. 

Bags for guest- I got brown gifts bags from Jo Ann Fabrics I did stencils on there of palm trees, hula girls, fish, and cocktails.  I picked paints that really stood out, I just put Cancun, Mexico on there.  No names or dates, more work then I imagined.  I plan to put cards, crossword puzzle books, a bittle stoppers, and cocktail for dummies.  Again I have a small group of 15-20 and they range in age so I tried to think of everyone.  At the dollar store they have the crossword books, at Target for a dollar they have the cocktails for dummies.  Anything else I plan to grab when I'm down there, that way I don't have to lug it in down there.  If you buy say 10-20 shot glasses there I'm sure you can bargain for a good price.  Sorry so long! Anyone know where to get personalized cards.  At becup they wanted $70 for 24 packs (that's the min. you have to order) which includes the setup fee.  That seems like alot of money to me!
