Thanks! That helps a lot! I think Xel-Ha and Xcaret are very similar parks. Now I'm just trying to see how far away XCaret is from ASP -- I'm not sure if they have transportation here or not. I just asked the tour rep if we could use our vaca dollars for this tour too -- since I do see it on some of the lists.

Thank you! We are really just looking for some fun things to do, and we were just thinking of choosing zip-lining because it was free. If you really didn't enjoy it that much, maybe we'll pass on it? I was actually considering going to Xcaret or Xel-Ha, so maybe we'll do that instead? My FI is big into fish/wildlife/etc. and we have considered doing the 'snuba' there too. Has anyone been to Playacar Palace or Xpu-Ha Palace?? I know those are really close to ASP.

I have an Oh Sh!t kit label..would you want that?

I used.. As we return, from our fun in the sun, and have promised forever, to be united as one Please join us to celebrate our marriage Hope this helps!

Thank you!!! There is so much stuff on there, can't wait to check it all out!!

Do you have a template you'd be willing to share for your blue "welcome to paradise" card. Its very nice and would work perfect for my OOT bag!

I just ordered my pre-travel brochures from vistaprint and bought DIY luggage tags from amazon for super cheap! I am getting so excited for my BD shoot Saturday and my first dress fitting early next week! I think I'm about done buying for the OOT bags, althought I need something for the men (everything seems so girly!). Suggestions for anything inexpensive?

Alisa, you look great!! Your dress is beautiful )

pics, pics, pics! ) I'm so excited for my fitting next week!!!

They actually have their own "recovery kits" too that you can buy separately for $10!

They have some super cute stuff here -- http://www.navyandlavender.com/category/wedding/totes/

everything looks great!! Where did you get your underwater cameras from? I am looking for somewhere that has them pretty cheap!

Love it! Would you mind sharing your template? It would be perfect for my bags!

Honestly, I'm not sure. Probably around $70-75. I bought my girls custom wristlets from Etsy for around $15-20. He has endless fabrics and styles to choose from and I was very happy with him as a vendor. Here's the link if you want to check him out -- http://www.etsy.com/shop/FrankieLloyd

My bridesmaid got me a super cute coach wristlet off ebay that she said she got a great deal on (although there you risk the 'might not be real' chance). I also have a couple of Coach Outlets near me that have great deals! I just bought a medium/large size summer purse from the outlets for $119 -- originally $379!!

I would love your wording for the "Navigating the Cancun Airport" and "What does All-Inclusive Mean"!! We are at a palace resort as well, so it would work prefect for me!!

I got my garter from Simply Weddings -- http://www.etsy.com/shop/SimplyWeddings. She did an amazing job and even added my bridesmaid's dress color behind the lace to give it something extra. and I got my hair flowers from The Honeycomb -- http://www.etsy.com/shop/thehoneycomb. She also did an amazing job!! I couldn't say enough great things about how great she was to work with and how happy I am with everything.

I am putting my welcome book in the OOT bag. So far I have "about the resort", information about the restaurants on both sides, information about the other resorts they can visit, a "who's here?" section, a schedule of events, and information after the resort dollars and how they can spend them. Not really sure what else to include, or if this is really good to have? Amber, we are definitely having the harpist. I found with the whole "is it worth it" thing, but we decided its our wedding day, and we want everything to be beautiful and perfect. So that was that ) They will play while the guests arrive too, not just during the ceremony. So I guess that is where all of the time comes in? Does anyone here have feedback about any of the "resort dollar" tours?? We were curious if the ziplining was worth it.

Alisa (1) I have tables numbers that I got from another BDW bride -- they are a picture of the sand/ocean water with the number written in the sand. I can email them to you if you want to check them out! (2) I bought my dad this picture frame -- http://www.bridesvillage.com/princess-bridal-frame.html, and my mom is getting the same necklace/earring combo, along with a bracelet (3) I bought my custom hair flower (she even make matching smaller ones for my girls) and garter from etsy vendors..if you want their names I can give them to you. I was VERY happy with everything!

Alisa Oh no ( I hope you are feeling better soon!!! That sounds awful ( Would you mind sharing your welcome booklet? I'm in the process of finishing mine up, but I'd love to see another example!! --- this actually reminds me that I also need to put together my pre-travel brochures!!! Also, where are your shot glasses from? I'm trying to find a company that will make plastic/cheaper ones in a smaller quantities!

Steph That doesn't seem TOO bad!! ) I have a lot of little things to wrap up with as well, but I'm not too stressed as of late. The important stuff for me are: (1) Get groom's suit jacket tailored (2) Dress fittings (3) Put together mine and bridesmaid's bouquets/groomsman bout's (4) Figure out groomsmen gifts!?!?!?! My FI is clueless on this, and I kind of am too! Any suggestions? What are you guys doing? The FI is taking them on a Deep Sea Fishing Trip before the wedding in Mexico, but we want to give them something else too. I bought my girls like 5 or 6 things! haha (5) AHR details -- tags for favors, make centerpieces, placecards and seating chart (most of this can't be done until I have final replies into June anyway!) I'd still like to get a few more dresses for the honeymoon too...you can never have too many of those! )

Erin, you look great!! My first dress fitting is in a week and 1/2...I'm so excited!!! I have been doing P90X for 6 1/2 weeks now, and have lost a full inch in my belly, so I'm looking forward to seeing how much better my dress will fit now!!

Amber You can have anyone you want come to your cocktail party!!! As long as their at the resort (or you get them a guest pass) then they can come! I'm sure that is her way of trying to make you think everyone has to book through her. YOU are the one who earns the cocktail party for having a certain number of rooms booked through your group -- your guests are not the ones earning it. Hope that helps!! That's awesome that she has Save The Dates for you!! -------------------------------- As for planning, things are going great here!! I am about 2 1/2 month out, so I'm definitely getting excited!! Pretty much everything is set for both our DW and AHR -- although I haven't been contacted by a new WC at all!? I booked everything with Wilma before everyone seemed to say the WC was changing? I'm just going to save all of my emails and hope that it is all in and good to go. I have my BD shoot on the 16th (which I am SOOOO excited about!! I am 1/2 way through P90X and am excited about my results so far!) and my first dress fitting is the following week. Then, at the end of the month my Mom and I are going to put together mine and the girl's silk bouquets, and just a few weeks after is my shower!! I'm excited to read karen's review too!!

Wow, that's awesome! I wish I liked half that stuff lol...although its not far off from what I have been eating. Do you think the recovery shakes have made a difference for you? I don't use anything like that, but I do think I'm a little low on my calorie count and can't imagine eating much more. Maybe I should consider starting a shake after my workout? I am definitely going to keep working through the program when I am done with the 13 weeks. I will still have about 3-4 weeks left until we leave, so I definitely want to keep the momentum going.

Congrats Michelle!! That's awesome!! Have you followed their diet recommendations? Where near Philadelphia do you live!?! I live about 5 minutes from the airport.
