I'm excited too but not looking forward to start the job hunting. It's a relief to hear that you are having a good response with Destiantionweddings.com. So did Debbie block rooms and the flights together or separate? Would you mind fwd'ing her contact info? My email is [email protected]. She really sounds amazing! Plus, I definitely don't want the headache of going through expedia or other sites for best deals and then worry about having guests not being able to stay in the resort. I agree so many decisions! I am so stressed with school and trying to book a resort by May! Wow, you have a big group! I had told you that we were going to have 60-70 people but then after a second look that's only from my FI's side! I am torn between colorful fiesta theme (bright colors) vs a more vintage romantic theme (ie. light pink, burlap)...my pinterest boards are full. haha. Not sure about dress yet except I don't want something too big because I'm on the short side What about you, what are your colors & dress like? I'm thinking about video cd save the dates...read about one posted here and it seemed to be a big hit with guests and got them excited. Definitely, would love any information you get from your TA. Do you have a pdf of the wedding packages, by any chance? If so, can you send to me to my email? I don't have enough posts to open documents on here. We are trying to narrow the resorts that we want to visit...it's so hard though. AHH! I'm going to post the groomsmen gifts shortly...will send you link. My FI just started handing them out and they have been a huge success. ~Norma

Hi Ladies, I'm in the resort picking stages and am trying to gather information about pricing and packages. Does anyone have a pdf file of that, they would send me? Thanks in advance for your help. Picking the resort has become the most challenging task. ~Norma

2nd year that's great! I'm going to graduate this semester from the Adult/Gero NP program at the IHP. I completely hear you...planning a wedding and having class plus clinical is a ton to handle. This is a great site though for resources so it should help. There are too many resorts to choose from! I narrowed it down to 7 resorts! Ha, I know that is a lot but I can't narrow it down further until I go do the site visits. What travel agency did you go with? I submitted a request for information to Apple vacation, Wright travel agency and called Destinationweddings.com. I don't think I will go with destinationweddings.com after reading all the bad reviews. We did start to get a list going and we have about 60-70 that we may invite so we are thinking that half will go... What about you? How many people did you invite. By the way, we just finished the gift to ask the groomsmen. My first DIY! So excited! I will share later when I take a picture. ~Norma

Hi Beth! You wouldn't happen to be an NP program? I'm just guessing by your username. I'm in one too so it seems we are on the same boat! Now Jade is such a great resort...it's actually one that I am looking at for a May 2014 wedding. How did you pick it? I'm thinking about going down to Mexico in April as soon as classes are down. Did you do that too? We can definitely plan to meet after the whole semester dies down ~Norma

Thanks! Great to know

Gorgeous! Where did you get the bridesmaid dresses...they are so pretty?

Any Boston brides out there interested in meeting up to talk DW? Planning on a Riviera Maya area wedding. Look forward to hearing from you! ~Norma

Beautiful wedding! My FI is obsessed with scrabble to so I love the way you incorporated it. Thanks for sharing and congratulations!

Does anyone know if you can still use the Our lady of the Guadalupe chapel even if you are staying at the Royal playa del carmen or gran porto? Thanks in advance for your help!

This is a great idea! You did an amazing job. I'm going to put this on my list of potential things to do! Thanks for sharing.

Very pretty! Great job

Thank you! That's actually perfect.

Gorgeous photos Tkuzma. It looks like a wonderful time

Amazing Job, Megan! Thanks for sharing with us

Gorgeous! I really love the rustic charm

Wow! I really love them.

great job!

Jessi! Thanks so much for all the information you've provided. I'm looking at all options where I could have a catholic wedding and the chapel here is amazing. I emailed Xcaret but have not heard from them. Could you email me the pdf of all the prices...email is [email protected]. Thanks so much again and btw, great wedding date (it's also my bday) ~Norma

I agree this is an amazing, idea. Definitely would cut down the cost.

Thanks!

Hi gals, Just wondering if any one had a wedding off the resort. I'm trying to gather all my options. If so, would love if you could share-- where you went and why you decided to do a ceremony off resort. Looking forward to your comments! Happy Valentine's everyone!

Just curious what is a GI stand for?

Thanks Karenk! I'm highly considering GP. I really love their chapel.

This is a great post. I agree full price doesn't equal the best. I'm all about trying to cut cost

Thanks for the post. Very helpful.
