We're not going the group rate route as we haven't yet found anything that makes it worth while for us. I just sent out a mass email to everyone invited to let them know we'll be booking by mid-month and if anyone needs help with booking to let us know. It's prompting people at this point to make a decision one way or the other. We right away had some no's come through, which I was actually happy about....strangely enough! I'm just happy it's going to give us a better idea of who is actually coming and we can stop wondering about the others! Â We just booked our engagement photos with an amazing photographer here......who will actually be in cancun for the month of Feb. and so we decided to hire him for our wedding as well!!! I'm so super happy b/c the package will include casual shots the day before the wedding, the wedding, and a trash the dress!! Super happy something finally worked out for us!
