Thank you guys so much for sharing these ideas!

I really want to use Jack Johnson "Better Together" but it is a little over done

What are the chances of the oil reaching the coast of Mexico, around Cancun?

Thanks for sharing

That is wicked! I was thinking of using the passports as an information 'brochure' for my guests in the welcome bags.

I am getting married there in December 2010 ... any details or help would be much appreciated as well!

Thank you so much for sharing pictures!

Woo HOO!! Dreams Riviera Cancun! I am a Dec. 2010 bride!

Buddy in P90X is actually a little mental ... I sometimes want to hurt him ... in a good way though!

I just came back from a wedding at Dreams Punta Cana, and the couple used Somwhere over the Rainbow. They had a friend play the guitar and sing the song while they had their first dance on the beach. It was so beautiful! The song is definitely appropriate for many different occasions

Vent it out of you!!! I am lucky to have an incredibly (surprisingly) supportive family of the destination wedding thing ... anyone who has made any comments I have been polite (but quick) to say "We are well aware that some people we are very close to wont be able to make it due to financial constrictions, but it is something we are willing to deal with"

Both are very pretty ... I think Number 1 is very flattering on you!! A little sassy too!!

We booked through a separate travel agent at Flight Center for DRC in December 2010 Many of my family members have found better deals through selloffvacations.com ... so it is worth it to shop around, especially at that time of year

I just came back from a wedding at a Dreams in Dominican, and my understanding is that you have to provide them with the list of music and/or have an ipod or CD's available if you want to hear specific music. You cant assume that they will have any/all of the music that you want, so it is always better to be prepared with an alternate!

I am also getting married at Dreams Riviera Cancun in December 2010. I am new to this site and am also trying to maneuver my way around it ... I wish I could offer you some advice, but I am sure that someone would be more qualified to do so!! Good luck in this process ... and happy planning!

Thanks guys! What a fantastic response ... I have become slightly addicted to reading everyones posts on this forum ... this could be dangerous!!! Melissa

I have also used many of the ideas on this forum, Another thing that I did that was great was that I used receiving blankets instead of ribbon to wrap around each of the cakes tiers (Folding the blankets diagonally and then attaching it at the other end with a safety pin). Wrapping each tier with a large rubber band is also necessary. I also bought a cheap baby toy from Winners or Walmart and put it at the top of the cake for the added effect. Within the cake you can also intermittently place things like baby lotion, shampoo, diaper rash creap, onesies, shoes, mittens, socks ... just about anything that is baby-ish. I made one for my sisters baby shower and it was truly a hit! People were ranting and raving about it for weeks!! Good luck! Have fun with it!

I would also be curious about the availability of flowers in Mexico in December? Are they dependent on the seasons at all? If the flowers are included in your wedding package, then does it matter what kind you get (in terms of costs?) Just curious, Thanks!

I am also getting married at Dreams Riviera Cancun in December 2010! I am so pumped! It is definitely gonna be an amazing time!

My group is paying about 1500 from Toronto to Mexico (Dreams Riviera Cancun) in December The other half got a great deal from Newfoundland to Toronto to Mexico @ 1700 pp

Go commando .... who's gonna know? haha

My parents paid for my dress, but only because they wanted me to get a much more extravagent one than I had originally wanted. I wanted to get a short, simple one, but my mom wanted NONE of that (We are from a relatively traditional Indian family and I am marrying a Newfoundlander!) ... I am lucky to have a supportive family for the DW!

I really don't think you are being unreasonable in encouraging them to postpone their 'engagement' until after your wedding. But if for whatever reason, he does propose to her, then I think you just have to trust that she will have enough class to let you have your day without making it about her ... and if not, you'll just have to announce that you are pregnant on her wedding day!

Hi All, My name is Melissa, our wedding date is on December 21st 2010 (2pm) at Dreams Riviera Cancun. We currently have about 50 people who are coming so I am really excited! Look forward to sharing my thoughts and getting some ideas with you ladies! Melissa
