Good luck... I really hope you're able to retrieve your work

The bouquet looks great and I'm sure you will too.

Can you please post pictures instead of just the links.

Thanks for the link, but those are just memory card readers, you would still need a micro sd card  Those are cute seat savers, but I'm looking for something that guests can put on lounge chairs by the pool. Instead of saving them with a towel. Â

btw... this is the dress I chose   http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?style=A3434

I went to a Maggie trunk show on the weekend and I think I've decided which dress I want but I can't find it listed on the Monica Bridal site. Do you think they will still do a good job if I just provide them with the Maggie name? The bridal shop allowed us to take some pictures of me in the dress so I could probably include those as well. Just not sure what to do since there is such a price difference. I think I should just take my chances and order it from Monica Bridal but allow myself time to order from Maggie Sottero. I'm just not sure if I will be able to resist trying it on everyday once it's in my closet.

That sounds like a great idea Lisadias. Please let me know as soon as you receive your package. Also, I order a lot of tech stuff from China, and they usually mark it as a gift with no value in order to avoid custom fees. I usually track my packages and am always amazed at how quickly they arrive. Â I'm going to a Maggie Sottero trunk show this weekend, so hopefully I find the dress of my dreams. I don't think I will tell anyone, my mom included, that it is a mail order dress.

The rates drop a lot after May 1. Of course we get married the week before. Oh well, I know it will be worth every penny to marry my dream come true.

Leigh17, Â Those were the rates sent by the Miami WC. I don't expect to hear much from the on-site coordinator. I hope to have most details settled before then.

I am torn between gianinar and monica bridal as well. I sent an email to gianinar requesting prices last week and haven't gotten a reply yet. I really like your choice lisadias. I think I'm going to do the same and order in advance just in case things don't turn out.

Lisa, Â Can you tell me how you're doing the key card holders? Here's the window decal. It's about 6" x 6" but I thought it would be a cute surprise since we're going to be apart that morning. Â Â I think I'm going to order a poster with our picture for guests to sign at the ceremony. My FI was laughing at the hat I made and laughed even hard when I said "well at least it was free." Sending out the STD this week. Â We're getting married April 22 @ Moon Palace Cancun. I think I'm picking mango and watermelon as our colors. When do you leave for Cancun?

These are the rates sent by the Palace Members WC - we still have a few days to finalize our contract if someone can get me better rates.  January 4th, 2011 - April 30th 2011 (3 to 6 nights) Double $ 197.00 per person/per night Triple $ 190.00 per person/per night Quad $ 182.00 per person/per night Child $ 46.00 per child/per night  Thanks!

I don't know if it makes a difference, but we are Palace members and there is a separate coordinator for members. So far, she has been prompt with same day answers to our questions. Â However, I was told that people booking through other operators will not be credited towards our group. I'm trying to decide if the group rate is worthwhile. Does anybody have access to group rates for the resort alone?

Fabulous tips Ravywedding. You seem to have lots of details. Â Just a few more: If you want a bunch of lounge chairs together, make sure to reserve them with a towel before Breakfast. Book any spa treatments ahead of time via email. Arrange your trips as soon as you check in. Last time I was there, the Japanese restaurant was the best. Especially the deep fried queso.

We're sending the STD now for an April 2011 wedding. Hopefully, by Christmas we will know who really wants to attend and will then send the invites. We're using DIY Passport Invites, so I really hope that I don't have to make 100! Probably about 1 month prior, I will send out travel packets. Â I haven't had time to do our wedding website, but wish I had it done to include on the STD.

I"m not mentioning our AHR. I would rather people attend the DW. The AHR will only be cocktails and cake. Some people know we will also be having an AHR, but I figure for most it won't be any easier to attend the AHR.

I was considering both places too, originally preferred Punta Cana because there isn't blood tests. But ended up choosing Moon Palace in Cancun because we know it's gorgeous and the food is fabulous. Like everyone else said, just stick to the resort and don't go looking for trouble.

Welcome Leah! We're getting married on April 22 at Moon Palace and are just starting to get organized as well. There's lots of ideas and information throughout these forums.

I can't wait to get my posts up so I can check these out!

I chose the Glossy finish, but you can also choose Matte. Â Jorge&maritza - most times if you place an order for more than $35 you get free priority shipping. That includes up to ten free items per order too. I got lots of stuff for $35 incl. priority delivery.

There is also a Costco in Cancun... so you never know what you might find. Plus all the markets too.

sxcT - I hope that's not obsessed or most of us on here have a major problem? Â I do feel bad for my FI though, we barely had time to celebrate our engagement before I started planning.

Thanks Leigh! Â We've confirmed our date. Received the pricing for groups and now just have to decide on how many rooms to block.

Does anyone know if there are any included tours? Or is everything deducted from the $1500 Palace Passport? I would love to have a price list for the tours.
