Welcome!! I wanted that resort sooo bad for our wedding, beautiful place.

Happy planning!!!

My face is really oily too and I use MAC blotting powder also. Do you do facials at all? I find my face is worse when I'm due for one. They do miracles for my skin!

Welcome and happy planning!!!

Congrats and happy planning! We were also torn between the two, but chose the Mayan. When we found out the cost for our guests (air and hotel), it was a no brainer for us. We figured the more reasonable the price is, the more people will come.

Does anyone know of any? Or do you think this is big enough for the beach since towels are provided on the beach by the hotel? Also, once upon a time I saw similar woven visors for ladies - has anyone seen anything like that? They looked similar to the bags but a finer weave and might have been a raffia or something. Thanks so much for your help. Hi. I'm getting our bags from here, Large Palm Leaf Welcome Bags*::*Welcome Bags*::*Favor Boxes, Bags & More*::*Destination Wedding Favors Haven't ordered them yet, but they look way too good to pass (for me anyways). I don't think they need to be big, as towels will be provided by the resorts, and nobody cares them around for long there anyways, just to change for a clean one. The way I figure it the bigger the bag, the more we have to put in it. Hope this helps

And yes, the travel mug was the biggest hit by far! Everywhere we went on the resort, my guests had their mugs. It was very convienent and well used at the bar! The only thing that I second guess is the use of the monogrammed canvas tote as the OOT bag itself. While I loved it & will certainly use it again & again, I wonder who else will really use it again, with the exception of my mother! While it made for a great beach bag as I did see my guests using it on the beach or on our shopping tours, I'd still love to know if it will get used this summer by anyone else. Maybe I should have gone with the personalized paper gift bag or god forbid, skipped putting my monogram on it & just gone with a generic Jamaica design. Just food for thought for you brides to be! Hey! Just wondering were did you get your travel mugs I can't find any I really like online that aren't expensive.

Hey everyone! I just saw this forum, and love it! We're getting married in Playa del Carmen on Nov 11, 2009. So far I've found it all pretty easy to plan, but I'm sure the stress will kick in eventually, lol.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes!

I'm a huge Maggie Sottero fan. You look really great in all, but my fav is #8. I have to say it felt weird seeing #9 on you, as that's my dress!

Jojo, I'm getting married one day after you, and I'm actually bring down a hairstylist/makeup artist with me. I'm in the industry, and really don't trust anyone else to do my hair and make up, lol. If you want I can check if she can take care of you and your party as well. Let me know

Hey Ladies!! We're getting married at the BBGE on November 11/09 and I'm so glad I found this. Reading through some posts I've realized that I'm not the only one dealing with 'Candy frustrations', lol.

Hey Jojo We're getting married one day after you two at the resort! Can you please email me all the pics you have of the flowers, cake, etc... For some reason it won't let me see your links. [email protected] Thanks

Hi, just joined this forum. Getting married in Playa del Carmen Mexico, at the Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda resort on November 11!
