In Holland most people marries after living together for several years, meaning that even though people is already settled, with own house, cars, etc. the couple pay for the wedding in its total, rarely any help from the parents. So it's pretty common to give money as a gift! On the invitations you could either get an envelope to put the money on or just a card with the bank number to transfer the money to. It is very normal! Actually in places like in Spain some people expects that guests pay for their own dinner in gifts of course. So if the reception costs 80EURO per person then you are expected to bring a present (or money or transfer the money to the couple's account) for at least 80 euro, so if you go with a family of 4 .. well you know the gift you have to bring. To bring a gift on weddings such as a vase, blenders, etc. are kind of useless here in NL, most couples already have all that so they prefer money to spend on theri honeymoon for example Money as a gift is the most normal gift here in Holland so i guess is just matter of culture

Hi girls,  Well i've been trying to get contact information from several hotels in Cancun and the Mayan Riviera, some of them are sooo hard to get, their website is so complicated or you need to fill in forms to get the name of the person on charge of Weddings. So i thought i would make a list of those that i have so far in case that any of you need this information.    Hotel Contact Person Email Bel Air Abril Tamayo [email protected] Casa Turquesa Claudia Lorente [email protected] Catalona Playa Maroma  [email protected] Catalonia Royal Tulum Jacqueline [email protected].

Hello everybody, well let me introduce myself i'm karen and i've had the longest engagement ever (if im wrong let me know.. would be soo good to know im not the only one I got engaged in 2002! Because me and my fiance were living in different countries at the time, we decided to live together, once i moved to the Netherlands, we kind of forgot about the wedding thing we always made excuses as we are living like married for so long, but finally after our last holidays in Cancun, we decided was about time to set up a date otherwise it will never happen so we decided for 18 February 2012, still a long time but since we waited for so many years, one or 2 more is nothing. Â I just started asking for quotations and all that to some hotels as from Holland we do not have the packages you guys get in the U.S but hey, i have plenty of time to get some ideas here in the forum. Â Thank you for sharing your experiences to help newbies like me
