I plan on posting pics on the OOT thread later today. I got so much accomplished this weekend!! Finally found my dress...and my bridesmaid dresses too! We also got flowers for the girls hair from Michaels which match our wedding colors (pink and orange) and were going to attach some pretty jewels. Brochures are being printed! I will post pictures soon!

Quote: Originally Posted by Betsy I totally agree!! Actually Moon Palace claims that every room has an ocean view. Which is mainly true...sometimes the ocean is just a little farther away. My sister booked through travelocity, not our TA and she actually ended up with the best ocean view. But we were barely in our rooms, so for us it wasn't that big of deal, we still had an amazing view! Thanks girls for the info! I'm going to mention this to my TA and see what she says. For all the ladies that have been to MP...did you do any of the tours? Was wondering which were the best?? Our guests are excited about the water park and the swimming with dolphins. Almost have my brochures done and ready to print. They were easier than I thought!! Going to Davids Bridal tomorrow....!!!

I just went through the MP's website and started going through the booking process for our same week and its turning up with about $8 cheaper a night. I'm not going to sweat a total of $56. Because our guest list is so small, it was pointless to try for a contract (which didn't offer any kind of savings anyway). Everyone went their preferred ways which for most of my family was through Costco. I think they got off paying about $3800 for two people/7 nights including airfare from Reno, NV. Right now expedia is showing $468/night. I'm not going to stress about it. The damage is done. We're going to have an unforgettable time and it still 1/3 of the price than had we had the same caliber of wedding at home. **** Just got word that my brother IS going to attend, yea!!! Happy to hear your brother decided to attend! We are working with a travel agency that TammyHost referred us to. We requested an ocean view room and was told the only way to guarantee this view was to book the Concierge Level room. She quoted us at $58 more a night, $426 total a night, but it includes best view and location, two 25 min massages, nightly turndown service (?), pillow menu, aromatherapy, upgraded brand of liquors, exclusive concierge service, exclusive beach bag, and private check in/out. So excited!!!

Congrats Tutty and happy planning! Only a few more months to go!!

Congratulations!! Everything sounds so amazing!!!

Our entire wedding bill was paid at check-out (not sure if this is standard though - each WC may do it differently) I would verify this with your WC. You will need to provide a credit card upon check-in (I had mine blocked so that no charges would go through until I approved - as items will be charged during your stay - so contact your credit card company) Flowers - so worth going with MP florist - fresh & beautiful! You will need to watch bringing 'plants-flowers' into the country as there are laws on that. We purchased the Deluxe Wedding Package - totally worth it! Consider what you are going to add as most additions end up totalling the package price. Ours included photography - but we hired two destination wedding photographers (wicked). Seeing as photog was in our package we used this for a Welcome Dinner & had a photographer join us. As well, we also paid the extra for a private wedding reception - so we used the dinner in the package as the welcome dinner. Consider that you are going away & people are joining you - splurge a little (nothing like joining a destination wedding with no flare) believe me there is no comparison. Wishing you all the best! Thanks HaleGrifa!! Thats nice having everything due at check out. Having that extra time to save is awesome! Sounds like the flowers are worth the price tag. We are also planning on having a private wedding reception and using the dinner in the package as a welcome dinner. Thanks for all the info and advice!

Congratulations!! Everything sounds awesome...I want to see more pictures!!!

congrats and happy planning!

I got my save-the-dates in the other day and finished mailing them all out! I also ordered my invites and they are being printed!! Our group contract is also completed and ready to accept reservations. I finally feel like this is really happening!! Do you girls know when the optional services need to be paid in full? My WC referred me to another girl but she hasn't emailed me back in awhile. No help at all!! We need to purchase some services since we went with the free package. Anyone know if we can bring in our own flowers?? I know it says no outside florists but the flowers they offer are a little pricey!! What photo package is everyone going with?

congrats and happy planning!

Congrats Veronica...thats awesome!!

Welcome and congrats!! Happy planning!!!

Welcome and congrats! Happy wedding planning! Jamica sounds fun!!

Congrats Mrs Gin! I'm kinda in the same situation as you....waiting till the last second as usual!
