Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately that website doesn't have what I need but I found a lot of things I would like to buy

Hi! It's been years since I've been on here but thought some new bride-to-bes might know of things I don't! Does anyone know where I can buy cool promo items with very low minimum quantities? I am thinking 50 items or less. TIA!

Hi Lola- Sorry for the slow response but congrats on your upcoming wedding! Our voucher is already sold- sorry I forgot to post on the thread! I'm not sure I have pictures online anymore of our wedding but I'll PM you the link to my digital photo album which has some pictures that might be useful to you. We had dinner with our guests in the Blue Room and part of our reception in the red room. We were married on the beach (I think at 4pm too). It was insanely windy but it was April so hopefully October will be beautiful for you!

Forgot to add- I'm selling the voucher for $600

Thanks for the responses! These are really good ideas...so creative! i appreciate your input!

I am doubtful this post thread belongs in this specific forum but I didn't see a forum for "post wedding" or "wedding vows". Mods, can you please move to the correct forum if there's a better fit? I need some inspiration. Has anyone written their own vows on paper and then after the wedding mounted them in a cool way? Or even having the vows inscribed, engraved, painted, or done in calligraphy? Does anyone know where to get something like this done?

I didn't book a Swim Out room but when I got married on the beach I walked on the patios of all the swim out rooms in building 27. There were a bunch of ladies sitting out on their patios that I had parade in front of. I'm sure their privacy is much greater at night...when no brides are walking around. We booked an Ocean View room and I'm glad we did. We were on the second floor of building 17. We considered booking a Swim Out room but were glad didn't in the end. I never saw anyone use theirs the whole time we were there. We used the regular pool and the ocean.

They bring out speakers and a sound system to plug the Ipod into. and yes, a very long extension cord!

Great review ReeRee...thanks for sharing! It sounds like everything went off without a hitch! You had a few options that I didn't have my wedding (the location of your ceremony for instance) which is fantastic! I'm dying to see pictures now!

Hi Jodster: I was married at SMB in '09 and I walked way down the beach and the marina for deep sea fishing is either the other way (towards Cancun) or not nearby enough to walk to. PDC by car is about a 20-30 minute drive depending on traffic and how crazy your taxi driver is. There's no true golf course next door but rather, if you sign up to golf at a course then transportation is provided in the cost though I don't know where exactly the golf course is. The concierge told us it wasn't far away.Hope this helps!

Reeree- awesome pics!! Those are gorgeous! I absolutely loved the hacienda but unfortunately we didn't get any pics there. I second Mlynnea with a note to all future brides checking out the hacienda before the wedding day. You pretty much can't go wrong with it!

Welcome and congrats SMB2B! We didn't have to give quite as detailed information as you've been asked for. We DID have to give our parent's occupations, salaries/occupations, etc when we were married but I think that is because we had a legal ceremony, not just a symbolic ceremony. Which are you having? We had to have witnesses which my family was able to be and I think that was the only reason they asked for their occupations. I wonder if they ask for that info from you because you live in Ireland? Maybe there are different "requirements" between Ireland and Mexico than the US and Mexico ? You could ask Cecilia why they need that info and maybe she can shed some light on why you need to give such detailed info.

No problem! Sorry I don't have more specific help for you!

Hey there Jenny: Â When we got married in '09 they didn't "extend" the reception but you can take your whole group and go to the "disco" club to continue dancing and drinking if that's what you have in mind.
