oh fabulous! I'd love to see some pics! the wedding you're doing, is it on the beach?

you guys are all so lucky living in the US or Canada! i'm from the UK and it's so hard to get hold of the bits for the OOT bags (infact English people don't really do them, but i love the idea and am copying you all!!) i love the idea of the mugs that keep things cool and personalised, but goodness knows where in the UK im going to get them!

Where in the UK are you? im in Essex (working in London) I haven't ever been to the MP, but im booked to get married there in July 2010, i am soooooooo excited!!! we're on a bit of a budget, so we're not doing the cocktail reception (unless we can get some rooms booked through the group booking thing) but we will be having a private event in the evening, for dinner. so, what have you got sorted so far? have you looked into lots of venues? how long have you been engaged? sorry for be so questionmaster, it's jsut your the first UK bride i've found getting married at the MP! Lou xxx

i don't think i knew that either. interesting.

i was going to ask that too. also, anyone that's been married on the beach, how long is it from when the bridal party can see you arrive (im not doing the horse drawn carriage thing) to walking to meet your future husband? i am trying to work out music timing! my flower girls and bridesmaid will walk down before me, but im not sure the length of time i need to allow for

How did you make your invitations? I would love to see pictures!! Did you send out save the dates as well? Yes, it's cool that you get to pick out all those things. Once you pick those items, I think it gets as easy as you want to make it. I just emailed my travel agent about the free parties and stuff. I bet if you use a travel agent, you don't get to take advantage of those "perks." Yes, the DJ is soooo expensive. You can definitely bring your own ipod and ipod dock if you wish. I think you can rent the docks there as well! I'll let you know what I find out about the TA situation. Maybe someone on here can answer that question as well. Sorry i've only just seen this, my bad!! yeah i made my invites myself, have a look, im not sure this link will work our home made invites packaged on Flickr - Photo Sharing! i didn't bother with save the dates, as i sent invites early. we also have a website, so people can see all details there too. x

thanks, you girls are so helpful! i'm so glad i found this website!! another random question, i hear there is a walmart in cancun, do you know if i'd be able to buy napkins and mini mosquito repellents etc in there? we don't have OOT bags in the UK, it's the first time i've heard of it, but i'd love to do it. but i can't ship stuff with me, so would need to buy most things there... (not napkins for the oot bag! they're for the table!!)

i haven't heard of le blanc, is that in cancun too? well i was hoping i wouldn't have to do much, turn up, get married, done! i didn't realise i'd have to choose somewhere for the ceremony, then choose somewhere for the cocktail recpetion and then choose somewhere for dinner, plus choose colours and flowers etc etc!! it's nice to have a choice but i totally didn't expect it!! we've booked our trip as have our parents and our brothers and some friends. so far we have 18 confirmed, and i would imagine it will get up to about 25-30, which im really impressed with (we're all travelling from the UK, so a 11.5 hour flight, and it's not cheap!) what do you get for free and how? i know about the cocktail hour if you book a certain amount of rooms right? but do those rooms have to be booked direct? because we're doing everything through travel agents! I've got my dress (YAY!) and i've planned colour schemes. i designed and made my invites (I'm so pleased with them) half have gone out, the others are going out this week. we're having a party once we're back in the UK too, and that's all sorted. booked the venue, the DJ, the food and photographer so that's good. the DJ/Music at the moon palace is SOOOOO expensive compared to at home!! a DJ at home for 5/6 hours including all his equipment and lighting etc is about £250 ($380) and i see at the moon palace it's $1400!!! JEEEEEEEEZE!!! do you know if we can bring our own ipod and our own docking station and just use that? sorry, that was an essay!

Great thank you! i'll have a look at that link! you get married the day we fly home! hope it goes really well! what have you got sorted so far? have you got many going?

Did anyone get married at the end of July? or has been to cancun at that time? what is the weather like then? Also, rather than having a cocktail reception/hour, instead could we get married and then just go to one of the bars? as we're all hotel residents and all inclusive i feel like spending $400 per 10 people for drinks and nibbles is a bit of a waste of money, when we could just go to a bar and get free drinks?

Thank you everyone! i thought it was going to be a really easy process, turn up, get married, eat lots and get drunk, but now i realise there are so many things to think about! doh!

Hi Ladies i'm new! i get married next July at the moon palace! this website and this thread in particular are fabulous, it's been such an insite and help reading everything!! i have only just started with the planning, but i want it to be as laid back and low key as possible!

Hello! i'm a newbie! My name's louise, im getting married in July 2010 in Mexico - Cancun (the Moon Palace) and im VERY excited! nice to meet you all *shakes hand*
