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.😄

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.

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!

Oh and I forgot Koozies... lol...

EEKKKK -Get flower girl shoes/sandals (my daughters) -pick hair style for myself and the 2 flower girls -Vows Ok so looking at this list it still looks like I have some stuff to do... i plan to get alot done this week. 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.

They do have an online store where you can order them, I am not sure how much the charge for shipping though. Here is their email address, [email protected], I had sent him a request asking the colors and and this was his response. We have over 50 colors and you can find them on our website www.pioneergroup27.com (type 101 into the search box). They are $30/dz. They are perfect for what I need them for, nice and soft and very pretty colors.

Hi jmk923, If you don't mind me asking, how much are they charging you for the birdcage and sand boxes. I wanted to have these but didn't want to bring them. I didn't know lomas had them.

I got my pashminas today, $2.50 each can't beat that. If you go to the store they have so many different colors.

I know, I ended up needing a few more and am doing some other DIY travel mugs from Oriental Trading but they are $8.99 for the 6... Not bad I guess but I liked $4.99 better... They have some at dollar tree but they are only 11.5oz, I want to keep it uniform, I dont want the guest getting the smaller mugs to feel jipped...

No I really didn't have a problem, I just used the paper that came in the mug as a stencil. Card stock could work just as well. Happy Planning!!!

I love the post cards, they came out very nice. You both look so happy. I used serendipity for our invites, Ginger does great work.

Im normally not into the lace but this dress is beautiful. I love the back.

I got the pack of paper at Staples. Glad to help.

Oh nice! We only got back 3 rsvp's declining and 1 thru our website confirming but our TA gave me a list of ppl that had booked and placed deposit so I figure ill go by that. I actually just found out the hotel is booked for our wedding date so pretty much anyone that hasn't booked will need to book elsewhere if they really want to come.

Thanks for all the helpful information, very detailed.
