I ended up bringing 2 big boxes along with an old luggage, this was aside from our 2 luggages of clothes for the two weeks we were going to be down there for. When we came bk I sent back the old luggage with my parents with decor and threw away the other 2 boxes b/c I didn't need them anymore.

Hi Girls, Just wanted to give an update on plaza zavaz, as of this morning it was still not up. We had our wedding in Friday. We had our cocktail party as planned at palapas yoga and then changed to the ballroom for the reception. To be honest they did a good job with the vision I had(especially after having changed the location at last minute). Everything went beautiful and at the end we were surrounded by our family and friends which was the most important part. At first I freaked BC I had my heart set on zavaz but there wasn't much I could do. Friday night it started to rain a bit so in the end I guess it worked out that I chose something indoors. Don't fret! Everything will work out in the end.😄

Lately it has been raining in the middle of the night a bit, but today is all blue skies! Mostly if it rains, it is just quick bursts of rain and sunshine afterwords. November is usually a lot less rainy than September and October. It also varies along the coast quite a bit and the showers are very isolated. It can be raining in Cancun but sunshine in Playa, or rain in Playa and sunshine 10 minutes up the highway at one of the resorts. My fiance says to not worry b/c its a week out but hearing this makes me feel better... Coming from someone whos actually down there.. Thanks so much! Today is my last day at work and tomorrow we get married here in NY! So excited... Ladies its almost here...

OMG ladies we leave in 8 days! I still have packing to do but thats pretty much it. Super excited!!! Im taking a card box down but its one I have to put together so I can take it folded and then make it when I get to mexico. I got it at AC Moore. I figure if it doesnt come out good I just wont use it.

I cant wait! 17 until we leave and 21 until the big day!!! So excited... Cant wait to leave already!!!!

The resort we are getting married at asked for a playlist, im pretty sure if I just gave them some artists I liked he would know what to do but again I dont want to leave it to chance. I guess you can ask your WC to see if they need a list or just a few songs you wish to be played. The only songs I have to bring for the ipod dock are the ceremony and cocktail party playlist b/c the dj is only for the reception.

I got my deck of cards from doillar tree, 2 per pack/box so worked out to .50per deck. The only thing is that once you open the box they are only wrapped in plastic but I had made up some personalised sticker labels on vistaprint that went over one side so its kinda personalized for us.

Thanks so much for the posts ladies! I will post my playlist when Im done!

I hope.... Is everyone putting their OOT bags together here? I want to begin packing next week sometime once I have all the small projects completed to just get things out of the way and also to see if I am going to need more luggages. Is everyone packing their wedding stuff in luggages or bringing down in a seperate box? How are you guys bringing your stuff down? I feel like I have a lot to bring down... Well Good Luck to everyone with their last bit of planning!!!

Hi Lola, We actually didn't block rooms because we were pretty sure it wasn't going to be a huge turn out, we received a rate with a 30% or 35% discount(Cant remember) if ppl booked by a certain date. As long as 5 rooms were booked, we would all receive that discount. When we sent the save the dates we gave the guest pricing on a standard room for 3, 4 and 5 night just so they had an idea and then added a blurb letting them know upgraded categories would be add'l. I gave them the date they had to book by to receive this rate. Then about a month from that date I sent emails out just reminding ppl. After the date passed I reached out to my TA and asked her what pricing would be at that point and the discount had dropped by 10% and would be at that rate til the end of the month, so I sent another email letting some ppl that I knew had expressed interest in going but just didnt book. Most of the guests that I knew were coming had booked by the first deadline. Hope that helps. Jess

LilPumkin, so excited for you! Have a great time and I look forward to seeing some pictures. I cant wait for our day to come. Just a little under 2 months left.
