Hello and Congrats!!!!! I have also left all of the planning to my travel agent. I would rather have her deal with the Moon Palace end of things like booking and reservations and I will do all the fun things like DIYing!! So far it has been very stress free! (although my travel agent has told me that Moon Palace has not been the easiest to deal with and you do have to be VERY persistant with them in order to get answers right away!) When I first got engaged I spent a week just looking at what felt like EVERY resort possible in Mexico! And even though the communication is not the best with the wedding department at Moon Palace, almost every bride has stated that once they finally got to the resort their wedding was exactly what they dreamed of!! Not to mention the resort is gorgeous, huge, and the prices are good!! Good luck to you with the planning process and fingers crossed that you get your date that you want in October!!

I had also had a little dress regret especially after seeing all the gorgeous dresses everyone on this site posts!!! And a friend of mine gave me some good advise that helped me alot..... On your wedding day there is only going to be ONE wedding dress in the entire room. You will not have any other dresses around to compare it to and when you are all dolled up with your hair and make up done, you are going to look fabulous in whatever dress you picked for your perfect day

Haha Emily, you are hysterical! I know EXACTLY what you mean about having dress reget... but i agree, you definitely need to put it on one more time to prove to yourself that you made the right decision!! This forum is SO not helping though! I see all these amazing dresses and I always second guess myself!! But your dress is absolutely gorgeous and looks amazing on you!!! I think you made the right choice!!

Thanks girls! Totally worth it... your bridesmaids will love it!!

I wanted to do something special for 2 of my bridesmaids/best friends and my maid of honor (my sister) since I have known them for years and they truely know me inside and out. Another bride on this site gave me the idea to make photobooks! I had a coupon for Shutterfly so I sat down one day and got a bunch of pictures together and made them! I ended up sending them to them in the mail (cuz who doesnt love getting packages in the mail?!) and the girls LOVED them! On the front cover was a picture of us and it read "Will you be my bridesmaid?" Then I used this quote throughout the whole photobook and at the end I wrote each girl a personal note: You have always been there for me more than just a friend You know exactly who I am and everywhere I've been You;re someone I can turn to any hour of the day Seems I only have to think of you and you'll be on your way No matter where life takes us no matter where we roam When I'm with you my friend my heart feels right at home We've shared so many special times our friendship grows each day We've shared our secrets and our dreams and laughed along the way And now at this most special time as my wedding day grows near I need you more than ever before to calm my nerves and fear When I am walking down the aisle a very happy bride It would mean the world to me to have you by my side Here are some of the pictures I used in the books... I also have my fiances two sisters in the wedding but since I dont have alot of pictures with them I decided to do something different for them. I had these made on Etsy and they came out so cute! They fold up and you tie a ribbon around them. I also had these shipped to their house so they would be suprised! The inside of these reads: The day that I marry, our families will blend, you'll be my sister and also my friend. It's just the beginning, of our brand new life, as your brother and I, become man and wife. And nothing would give me more joy & pride, than to have you right there by my side. These were my first "DIY" type projects (even though I didnt technically do any handy work!) and they were so much fun!!!

Your wedding was beautiful!!!! Where did you order the grooms tux from??

Haha no worries! This is just what i was told by Janina before she left so I hope its true!! Praying i didnt just send me cc info to some random fax machine in Miami!!

The planning portion of the Miami office has closed and is now only in Cancun, but Miami is still open for booking rooms and stuff. I sent my cc info to them to book our honeymoon at the Sun Palace... I swear ive already looked at my account like 25 times this morning... im so nervous now!! Really hope none of my guests have issues with this when they book!

Ahh this makes me nervous as i just sent my cc info to the Miami office a few days ago through fax! I am going to check my account everyday now just in case! Thanks for the heads up!!!

LOVE this idea for gifts!! They came out so great! Not sure if i commented earlier in this thread or not but thank you SO SO much for posting all of your templates and pictures and everything! This is definitely going to be my go-to thread over the next 9 months as I start planning and DIYing!!

Wow you are going to have a great turnout for your wedding!! Im jealous! I think we will only get about 30-40 people! I am pretty much in the same boat as you right now... Save the Dates went out and I purchased my dress now im just waiting for it to get a little closer to start planning everything else! Im currently working on invitations right now with a seller on Etsy so I can have them ready to send out when the time is right! Im excited to share planning tips as well! Im sure were going to have a MILLION questions for eachother once it gets closer!!

Thanks!! We had so much fun taking the pics with our little guy!

Here are a few more...
