Moon Palace 2008 & 2009 Brides - POST HERE!

Oh, very very cute Honey!!! We are just doing a one layer vanilla cake, since our buffet comes with desserts too!

 

I've started packing tonight, I feel a little better about things now. I also have almost all my receipts sorted out. Do you think a paypal receipt would work? They don't say what you purchased...??

Thanks Honey740. I am definitely going to fight it. We have 49 rooms booked 117 guest they can switch 1 thing I'm sure.

geez 117 people? how did you make that happen? i'm only sending out about 50 invitations lol... maybe i should get more friends

Ladies--I just got back from Moon Palace in May, if you have any questions, just let me know!!! We are going back in Feb 2010 to get married there

I just did receipts myself on the word document, i listed the website, quantity, price per and then total. I have heard from others this has worked for them. I am sure if you have a nice $20 to hand them that will get you by too lol...not even kidding.

LOL, yeah, I've heard that too!! I have all the real receipts for most of it, I am going to make them for the stuff I bought on paypal, and then I should be all set!!

Ah... I was away too long. I had a destination AHR so to speak so I was gone but I hope I can still answer some questions for those of you leaving soon. Sorry that I missed you Tina but hopefully all is wonderful!

 

Yes! Witnesses do have to be there 2 days in advance and they sign paperwork during the ceremony. They just have to be there by 6PM and take their passport with them to the wedding office. My parents and my DH's cousins did this for us and they all told us how honored they were.

 

I was the person that only had rooms in their contract (not nights) but I did complain and I got the perks. Essentially, I asked my TA what she could do for me and she worked it out with MP. I got 4 nights free and the free private reception for having 80 nights booked. I would definitely recommend bugging people about this. Attacking it from a $ standpoint sounds like a solid idea.

 

We got married at 6P in the beginning of May. Some of our pics were a little rushed b/c the photogs were afraid we would lose the light but they all turned out great. The reception was dark outside but that was fine with me (they had lights set up around the terrace but it didn't get too bright).

 

All of our rooms were close to each other. Almost everyone was in the same building but those that weren't were right next door.

 

The only other wedding people we saw were at the bar after the weddings around 10P. They space out the ceremonies so you aren't back to back with anyone. Don't worry about milling guests. Always remember, they do thousands of weddings every year. If they weren't great at it they would not be so popular.

 

They don't carefully check the receipts, just having them is enough. Explain that they are for wedding guests, offer the receipts and smile. Pretty much all you need to do.

 

They were really good with the music. Our song ran short covering the signing so they just went back and played another song.

 

 

Feel free to PM me if anyone is freaking out or wants some more specific info!

Thanks so much for all the answers Tracy!! I finished getting all my receipts together today - I only had to make one fake one. Not bad! I'm going to assume that the fact that the invoices I'm giving to FI won't cause him any trouble - the invoices all have my name on them. I don't think it will be a problem.

 

We leave on Monday!! I'm super duper excited!!!! We've started packing and I think we're going to make it all fit!
