Everything looks so amazing! Thanks so much for sharing. I love your BD! Also the Jewlry From Esty is sooo pritty. I am tempted to go with something similar.

I did not use a travel agent, the following is what Palace Resorts Provide • (1) complimentary 1 hour Cocktail after ceremony and 2 complimentary room nights for the bride and groom with 10 to 19 rooms paid nightly for 3 nights or 30 room nights. • (1) upgrade to a complimentary private function instead of a cocktail party plus 4 complimentary nights for the bride and groom with 20 to 24 rooms paid nightly for 3 nights or 60 room nights. • unlimited private functions plus 7 complimentary nights for the bride and groom with 25 rooms or more paid nightly for 3 nights or 75 room nights. • bride and groom room upgrade to the next available for a minimum of 25 rooms paid nightly for 3 nights or 75 room nights, based on availability.

You get your "Own" bar with a bartendar and wait staff. They make a table into a bar full of booze! That was for a dinner event with 15 people.

We are able to get 3 magnets per sheet so 36 Magnets for $9.99 They work perfect. I was %100 percent happy. And I am a darn picky person 12 Awesome Adhesive Magnetic Sheets

I really like all the logos, I wasnt going to make one ,but I will now =) they all look great. I am going to try out that free site now.

Im wearing one of those bird cage veil thingy dingys =) I have a real cute tea length dress. So that and some killer shoes will rock =)

Amy: I got the Amethyst Rose Collection. It does not say that it is included on the website ,but I emailed my coordinator and she said it is include for the bride only. The womens name is Mellisa Gomez. I cant seem to find the email at the moment. I did however find this 65 page events PDF they sent me so I am attaching this to this post. Wedding planner and organizer Aventura 2010 Private Events.pdf

Congrats! This is going to be your new, favorite site. There is soo much info and pictures on the palace resorts. It might seem a little over whelming atfirst ,but its a life saver!

Congrats and Welcome. Its never to early to start. Think of how perfect everything will be with that much time. There is so much on these boards, so much great info and ideas, it might take that long to go threw it all lol

Welcome! and Congrats on picking a location. Thats was the hardest point.

Congrats! Cant wait to see photos

Congrats on being another Palace Resort bride. I choose the Aventura Cove and Spa, Palace Resort! awsome awsome. Good luck on all the planning. There is a ton of great info and pictures on that resort.

Congrats and Welcome...A December Wedding...that sounds great! You will find a ton of info on these boards to help you out. You only have like 6months to go! I mine was sooner now... lol

Congrats! There is a ton of info on Dreams on these boards. I am sure you can find anything you are looking for. I am getting married at Aventura Cove and Spa in Rivieria Maya. They don't allow outside photographers, but most people bring them anyways =p Thats what I am doing.

If you go to the Palace Resort Website, I know they have pictures of that package. Otherwise I would look in the wedding review section. Lots of brides have gotten married at the Moon Palace. A lot of them have posted pics. Goodluck and Welcome!

The reason I ask is that one of the people we invited said they are coming but staying off the resort and they are also coming with another couple which we didnt invite to the wedding nor do we even know... Also this is my dad's friend and I heard all of this from my dad (the person we invited didnt RSVP yet but told my dad he is coming). I dont know for sure if that is true or if he will come since he has another couple joining him and his girlfriend. It sound more like he is going on vacation and may stop by... Should I count them or wait until I get a definite answer of YES Also I dont want to reserve 4 day passes and they not show and then I'm out $350!!!!! That money could go to something else vs. people we dont know! Also am I obligated to pay for a day pass for the couple that we DONT KNOW? They werent even invited. I agree...It sounds like he liked the idea of going to Mexico, and decided to book his own trip. If he has time he might stop by. I would not be paying for these extra people. You guys are just starting our your lifes together and have a lot of other expenses atm. I think it would be ...rather rude if they are excepting you to pay. Have you asked the wedding coordinate about "Maybes?" I would think they would round up on food. If you have to pick, I would mark them as No's. If they do show up...Its an IE resort. They can find more food =) and the booze doesnt run out!

ohhhhh I love the leapard print. Great Idea!

Awsome job!...You must have spent a ton of times on the OOT's. I wish I was one of your guests lol

Those towls are perfect. I would love to do something like that. Where did you get them if you dont mind sharing. I read all threw this thread and couldnt find it. THo I am at work, and trying to look busy so mabbe I missed it =)

Congrats! Your jewlery is perfect and I live the flower....I also could go for a piece of that cake atm. Nice work!

I love your flowers! I wish i knew where you got them. I want the exact same thing, but purple.

Very nice, Congrats! I love the bright flowers

Everything looks so nice. Thanks so much for sharing. Long Planning threads are by far my fav's!

It might give you a better idea of what you can get for fireworks. From what I have seen, the ones that are included with the cermony are just ground fireworks. Nothing overly special. I have them in my package, but I would have rather had the big ones. I am not sure how old those prices are....and so forth. Fireworks%20price%20list[1].doc

I wouldn't mind doing my own makeup, but I'm not sure what to get with the heat and sweat and TEARS! =) Has anyone heard what the nightly entertainment schedule is right now? I asked a few mths ago and she said she didn't know for when we would be there. But I would think what is happening now will likely be happening in three weeks? I am in the same boat as you. I have spent about 12k on the wedding / resort so I really dont want to spend anymore on hair and makeup. I think I am going to go with the salon that is their. It is included in the price of the package I bought. I will bring photos of exactly I what I want, but I am also going to bring all my own stuff incase I have to touch it up to get more of the look that I want. I use bobby brown makeup. I have the waterproof type. it lasts all day no problems. I might even have them use some of my makeup to get the right colors. I am very touchy on what I put on my face. I dont want to end of with some cakey powery makeup. As far as hair goes. I think I am going to extentsion and curling them. I will supply them. All they need to do is apply them and curl them. I will be babysiting the process to a T.
