Hi emaya
I am also a 2010 bride...we are getting married in the may.
We sent out message in a bottle mini invites in march...we have been engaged for a while now, so sent them out to suprise everyone! We got them from hansonellis.com...they are brilliant and an going to have to order more next year when we are booking...can't wait!
There is a block booking rate which you can find on the palace resorts website..its really good, we won't be able to take advantage of it though, would be too much hassle for us to book accommo and flights seperately from the uk, but i'm hoping our TA will give us a good discount for it being a block booking...we'll need to wait and see how many people end up coming!
We have told guests the price of MP, it is expensive, and that has been most of our guests reaction..especially the ones with young families, but I 100% think MP is justified for many reasons ie, excursions are included, accommo is HUGE, accommo is luxurious, branded booze is sold..and from our point of view, the wedding packages available are fab...i mean, a horse and carriage? can't beat it!!
Look forward to going through the next year and a half with you....its soo exciting now more 2010 brides are popping up on here! wooo hoooo
