    Instead of a rehearsal dinner we asked everyone to join us in the Lobby Bar (Moments) at 6pm the day prior to the wedding for Happy Hour. It gave everyone a chance to meet & get to know each other a bit before the wedding. It was casual & informal, our guests then disbursed on their own to dine at the restaurants of their choice. (please note for groups of 4 or less the wait is not too bad in the restaurants. However for larger groups it can be an hour as the restaurants are on the small side) At the happy hour we have each guest a logoed canvas beach bag. I found these on etsy as well. We had them lined & imprinted with palms trees the location & the wedding date. We felt our guests may not use the bags after the wedding if they had our names on them, everyone loved them. By handing them out at the happy hour we avoided the $4 delivery charge the hotel wanted to charge us. We felt since it was all inclusive our guests didn't really need an official OOT bag with items. We also had door knockers created for each guest, on one side was the Do Not Disturb Sign & on the other was our welcome letter. I don't have a pic at this moment but I can upload one later. We put them in an envelope, labeled each with the guests names & sealed them with a seal I made on vistaprint. The front desk was able to hand these out at check-in at no cost to us. http://www.etsy.com/listing/150331895/reserved-for-amy-1-additional-lined http://www.etsy.com/listing/118463837/wedding-door-hangersdo-not-disturb-signs

    About 4 weeks prior to our wedding we sent all of our guests a luggage tag, suggested packing list & brochure I created on vistaprint with all sorts of information to prepare them for their trip. I've attached our wedding brochure, feel free to use the ideas or tweek for your wedding. Attached is the packing list, feel free to use it as it or tweek for your upcoming wedding. Below is the link to the etsy store that we got out white leather luggage tags from. http://www.etsy.com/listing/107959592/wedding-favors-key-west-paradise-luggage?ref=shop_home_active Wedding Brochure.pdf Packing List.xlsx

    we chose beach front which from what I am told is the same as ocean front but on the ground level so you can walk right out to the beach

    @bbbride I was told we could use the guitarist for the cocktail hour instead of the ceremony but they only play for 45 minutes. 45 minutes wouldn't cover your dinner.

    We ordered luggage tags for each of our guests. We are going to mail the luggage tags with a packing & Mexico tips letter before the wedding. Has anyone else done this? Any suggestions on what to include in our letter?

    Someone on an earlier post mentioned lighting & a bubble machine with the sound system, was this the case for you? Does the person manning the speaker control the songs & play them when needed; first dance, etc

    Has anyone skyped or face timed their ceremony for those that can't attend?

    Hello past brides! Did the resort provide any sort of decorations for the tables at no charge? (sea shells, starfish, candles, etc)

    I am very torn on whether to use the resort photographer or hire an outside one. There seems to be alot of varying experiences. Can anyone help?

    I was told by Anel that candles are typically provided by the bride & groom. She reccomends the electric ones since it can get windy.

    More questions I asked Anel, her responses are in CAPS or in BLUE what is the tax & service charge that is charged on the Divine Package? TAX 11%, SERVICE 15% is a champagne toast included in the package for the reception?, YES THE CHAMPAGNE TOAST IS INCLUDED FOR 25 PEOPLE. can bottled water be offered to our guests for the ceremony? SURE, THE COST IS $2 USD, PER BOTTLE Also we are looking at doing a welcome letter not a welcome gift bag. Can the front desk hand out the letter to the guests as they check in?The Front desk can give a welcome letter to the guest, you just need to give us the letters and we will give them to the front desk. If we bring something for the reception that needs to be plugged in is there an outdoor outlet? THERE IS AN OUTDOOR OUTLET.

    For those concerned about heels getting stuck in the Tequila Terrace below is a a picture Anel sent me of the deck. Traditional heels will fit between, she suggests flats, wedges or a thick heel.
