Miss Lighting Bug

I am very frustrated that I can't place a photo within my message...what am I doing wrong?

Those are adorable. I am saving your pic so I can reference when I am ready to order mine.

I was nervous because I thought that was per couple and mine wasn't near that for a couple. I am getting quotes about 1,877 per person for 8 days.

When you guys are quoting is that 1500-1700, etc per person or per room?

Booking my group is by far my biggest fear. I want to give guests ample time to spend as my family isn't the most wealthy but will be okay given the proper amount of time. I also don't want to wait til the last minute to book either. With my resort (mostlikely Moon) we can get great private events if we book enough rooms but it must be done as a group. I think I will be having a serious talk with everyone one on one to explain the importance and see where they all stand before going to the TA for bookings cuz the TA can't hold things that long. We will see I guess. By far my most stressful part of everything. Good thing I have a lot of time.

Well my brother who has never travel anywhere.. was at a summer party here at my house in August and was telling people not to book until Jan because they were getting ripped off... I had to take him aside a explain that if no one booked until last minute I could not plan a wedding... He didn't get it!!! Thought I was what I was asking people to do was ashameful on my part.... (Honey there will be these people in your group and you can not change that). Yeah we all have stupid people lol!!! With that said... everyone that went booked Oct.31 or sooner "except of course my brother)... Well darling he booked Jan 25th and I was getting married Feb 2... Ok here is your arguement for people... I got the confirmed price for a week all inclusive 5star $1300.00 per person. My brother searched the internet day and night for two months and ended up paying $2200.00. He got a really crappy travel time and had to come a day early and leave a day early.. He was in a totally different section of the resort, 20 minute walk from the group. Last minute works when you don't care where your going and are extremely flexible on the dates and travel time... Hang in there babe... There will be stupid people... Not to be mean but serves him right for putting you through the stress and annoyance. Glad everyone else planned ahead for you though.

No wish I could help

Thanks for the information.

Efffwwww...I was starting to feel selfish myself. I didn't put OOT bags in my budget to begin with so I was frantic trying to figure out how to squeeze them in. Hearing this feedback makes me feel better about not doing them. I might do mugs or stadium cups with the welcome letter.

It is coming from our wedding budget.

Those are darling

This was a fantastic review. Thank you for taking the time to go throw all the information step by step.

MsMoulton I just saw that you did not do the reception at Moon.
