November 2010 Brides - Riviera Maya

[Future Mrs. M]

Hi Girls!!!

 

I know there's a Nov-2010 thread out in the general forum but I figured it might be helpful to have our own for the Riviera Maya area that way we could share tips/info/planning advice relating to our area.

 

I'm getting married 11/13/2010 at the Hacienda Tres Rios!!

 

Dress bought and bridesmaids dresses too!!!

 

We are still struggling on what to do about a chapel We have LaSalle reserved but it's a bit of a distance. We would have loved Xcaret but it's booked so is the one in the middle of Playa del Carmen.

 

 

Can't wait to hear about your details and how far along you are.

Hi! I am getting married 11/6/2010 at the ME Cancun. Dress, birdesmaids dress, and all vendors booked. RSVPs almost all back and have 75 guests confirmed still waiting on about 10 (some peeps don't know what RSVP means apparently) ha ha .

 

Im so excited! I wish it would get here already!

[Future Mrs. M]

75 guests confirmed already?!!! Wow that is amazing!!! DId you tell them to rsvp with the Save the Date? We sent ours already but I don't think that many people have booked their travel yet....how did you get them all to do it so fast! I need tips!! !

I am getting married at Iberostar Maya on November 12, 2010! We have 40 people booked already but I have not sent invitations yet. I plan on sending invites out in June. I got my dress, still deciding on bridesmaids dresses, booked DJ, still deciding on photographer!

Hi ladies!

 

Just wanted to introduce myself... 6 months to go roughly for us, WOW time flies!

 

We are getting married at the Barcelo Maya Tropical on Nov 18. So far so good for planning! Gotta say, still haven't picked my bridemaids, hoping that the ladies will commit to coming. Unfortunately the recession has tightened some financial belts.

 

How are you ladies doing?

Lisa Nicole - we are looking into having our Catholic ceremony at the chapel at the iberostar. Have you visisted the resort yet? We are going at the end of this month to see the chapel. I will take pics of what I see while I am there in case you're interested.

 

Angelina - I hear you on the finances! One of my best friends has been unemployed for almost a year now. I asked her to be one of my bridesmaids because she literally is like a sister but I also made sure to tell her I understood if she could not make it because of financial reasons. She is somehow still planning on going and pulling every move she can to be there.

Hey ladies! Im getting married at the Aventura Spa Palace on Nov 12.

 

-just booked the photog yesterday

-purchased my dress in March

-picked the bridesmaids dresses (just waiting for everyone to get measured so I can order them)

-would have booked a DJ, but the resort doesnt allow outside vendors

-working on making the invitations. I plan to have them out by next month.

 

So far only 1 person has booked. Its so hard getting people motivated to book early!

Hi Girls!! Attempting to revive this thread for us Riviera Maya girls!!!

We have shifted our wedding date to 11/12/2010 so that we can have our ceremony at the Xcaret St. Francis of Assisi Chapel!

 

We have updated our website and hoping more people will book soon. How do you guys get people to book? I'm worried airfare will keep going up:/

 

 

What time are you guys having your ceremonies/reception.

 

I heard from Xcaret that the sunset is at 5 in November....
