Moon Palace 2012 Brides

[mrsjdh2b]

Natalie no problem!! Let me know how it goes. I pray that everything works out for you.

 

Coco what a great way to end your week, even though you aren't feeling well. Get better soon!!

 

I hope everyone has a great weekend DIYing and planning!!

 

I ordered my OOT bags this week. I just got the hibiscus print bags from Oriental Trading Company and they ended up being a little less than a dollar a pc. Loved that part. Hopefully run to Target to grab the rest of the crossword/sudoku books for them and one or two more hand sanitizers and staples to put the toppers on and that's all done. Dress should be here within a week and will pick up mine and my daughters. Still need to get FI and son's clothes maybe we can try this weekend to squeeze that it, but we have to head over to the new house and do some cleaning. Sheetrock is up and they are taping, floating and texturing the walls over the weekend. Looks like move in date will be Memorial Day weekend 2 weeks before we leave for Mexico!! Woo hoo!!! Nothing like trying to plan a wedding in a different country, build a house, sell another house and plan a AHR with an overbearing MIL. Vacation can not get here soon enough!!!

 

Happy Friday!!! Have a great weekend!

Hey MP Brides, 

 

My fiance and I decided on MP for our wedding next April. With over a year to go, our planning is in its infancy and I'm just working on crunching numbers and getting our budget in place. I was wondering if any of you MP '12 brides have a list of approved photographers for the resort... I was told by the Miami folks that there is a $500 fee for using outside vendors, but approved photographers will just require a day pass per photographer. The woman I spoke with mentioned Del Sol being on the list, but their packages seem to start a bit high... What's more, she also said that the approved photographers list was "up in the air still"... Just trying to get an idea of what they've approved in the past so we can budget accordingly. This thread is always super helpful, so thanks in advance! 

 

Happy Friday!

Happy Happy Planning! 

 

With so much changing evening amidst the 2012' brides, I would definitely join the 2013' MP forum.  As far as the "approved list" hmm that's funny because I doubt if any of us here have that other than Del Sol and probably their sister company La Luna (you may want to check their packages), they also use Smile Market.  Most of us do other things do get what we want... but it seems they are getting a bit outrageous with their fees which will either lock future brides into using their "sole vendors" or paying out the A**... 

 

Wish I had better news for you...

My lovely LPN Maria made the cupcakes and they had bling..

 

My other cake and cards followed by my staff and colleagues.  They collected $750 for me, along with Coasters that says "The Wright's",

 

[coconoir1908]

On the contrary my dear friend... I have to love my staff... only 4 of those seen in the pictures are colleagues and 1 my boss.. the rest I am blessed, pleased, and humbled to say are my staff who actually went to my boss (not an easy thing to do) and asked if they could put this together! 

 

So not only a surprise but a very courageous thing to do.... We don't have much down time in the "Non-Profit" world, but they made this hour (in between my training) count.  Hats off to the best staff ever.

I heard that Palace has pulled their resorts from Expedia.  I checked to see if it really was the case and I do not see palace resorts on Expedia's site.

 

I thought I would give you a heads up in case you were thinking of sending your weddings guests to expedia to book their trip.

 

We have a GREAT relationship with Palace Resorts and they offer really great group amenities so if you are looking for a TA that specializes in destination wedding, you might want to try one of the BDW Travel Agents.  We Specialize in Destination weddings.  You can contact us HERE!

Hola Chicas, Well since this is a dreary day I decided that this afternoon will be best spent.....drum roll please........... Packing ugh lol. Well with a drink in hand (if this surprise you then I guess you haven't read my previous threads) I'm ready. First up, the bags that my MOH & 2 bridesmaids will take. This will include anything OOT related. & nothing related to the wedding day. Why you ask, well besides the fact that I'm a little type A aka anal, they don't come until Wed or Thursday and my meeting with my onsite is 10am on Wed so it's great. Now let's all take a moment to wish that the extra matching luggage I brought is enough lol Happy planning & packing. Oh for my brides that will be there the same week my email address like my username here is coconoir1908@aol.com let's meet!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
