The new Dreams Tulum thread! (Post all DT Qs&As here)

Hello all! There is soooo much information on this site, so great! I do have one question for those who have gotten married in the Mayan Riviera. I plan on shipping a large tote with welcome bags, starfish, seashells, favors, etc. Are there any restrictions from customs on what can and cannot be shipped into Mexico?

Here is what I plan on sending:

(50) welcome bags:

toothbrushes

toothpaste

mouthwash

advil packs

mini sunblock

lip balm

water

chips/snacks

50 starfish

50 sanddollars

tulle for back of seat covers

Should I be concerned with supplies getting held up in customs?

Thanks!

Gina

Hi Girls! SO excited to be here - I've been lurking for almost a whole year!! You are all wonderful and have awesome information to share. It's so much appreciated!

I do have a question, though =)

I need to find a DJ/MC for the reception. I looked into DJ Bob (who I found in the vendor reviews page), but he's booked. I also looked into DJ Mannia who is just too darn expensive.

Any other recommendations?

BTW: Sunbride, you are the best! So helpful! You're like the DT guru! And your photographs are BEAUTIFUL!

Hi girls,

Big thanks to Sunbride for all of your hard work.

This forum has been a huge help to me, im quite sure I would have given up on this whole idea of a destination wedding so far from home ( im a british bride 2 without all your fab tips and reassuring reveiws!

Hi! To all of the recent brides,

how did you find it getting married on days when there are multiple weddings? Did you feel like you were constantly running into other brides? Was it a turn off to see so many weddings during your vacation? Also, if music has to end at 10:30.. what did you do after (and did you find that having a 3pm ceremony gave you enough time for dinner and dancing?). What time does the s un set in early january?

Thanks so much ladies!!

I sent similair items. Paid 245 dollars to send- it got to Mexico and would not clear customs- I had to pay another 215 to send back. They opened it up and since items were from China, India they said I woud have to pay taxes on it. $1400.00 in taxes. I suggest you put it all in a suitcase. If your wanting your guests to have the stuff before they arrive do what I did. I just sent each guest their bag by fed ex and they brought all their goodies along.
