We are planning to go thurs-tues (Sunday wedding) then go up to the new secrets playa mujeres resort that's opening in November and staying there through the following Sunday. I read that (based on availability) the groom gets a room the night before the wedding. I think we definitely won't stay together but I also don't know if I want to stay alone. I may have my cousin stay with me!

@@nattiegams325 We invited almost 200 people! My fiancé invited every guy he has ever played golf with in his whole life I think! I am praying no more than 100! Also my travel agent is telling me I need to send formal invitations in June!! I wasn't planning to until august! When are you sending yours?

@@nattiegams325 & @@pddcmc We were planning to do legal but as you both have said it seems like so much hassel! I am going to talk to my fiancé about the "secret" at home legal business and then go symbolic there, especially since it looks the same. So in terms of OOT gifts I am definitely thinking of doing a bag. I'm just afraid this is going to be stuff that goes straight to the trash, so I want to pick some stuff that can be used. I was considering doing luggage tags to help guests find their table and double as the favor. I figured the women would probably keep those. I like the idea of sunscreen and maybe could get a good deal at SAMs club/costco. Other things I have considered are bottle opener keychains and mini bottles of local alcohol. Pretty much I should just say our friends and family are a bunch of partiers! There's a girl somewhere on this forum who rents out decorations and lives down there. I got an email from her but haven't taken the time to really read through it all and see if it's worth while. @@nattiegams325 good luck with your dress! I got mine a few weeks ago. It's an Alvina valenta and I am absolutely in love! http://jlm-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/styles/av/br/altview/alvina-valenta-bridal-english-net-gown-lace-v-neckline-keyhole-back-skirt-godets-9407_x1.jpg

2/22/15 bride figured I would throw myself on this board too. What all are you girls putting in your OOT bags?

@@nattiegams325 that is awesome! Are you having a big wedding? I only got the gold as well. If you get the platinum please pass it along. Also I don't know about the plated options. I thought I read somewhere they wanted you to just pick one. I also read on an older post that the Caribbean buffet was really good! We want more of a casual atmosphere and are afraid if we do a 5 course dinner that it could take a really long time.

I just confirmed my 2/22 wedding today with David! He said I would hear from a wedding coordinator (which I assume is different from himself) 3 months prior to the wedding. Once I sent my deposit he sent me a ton of info and questions which made me feel better. It is so detailed and from everything I have read it sounds like they are really on the ball! Any advice or tips welcome! Also would love to hear/see pix from any weddings! I am doing the wedding at the gazebo, cocktail hour on the beach, and reception on the deck. We are expecting 75-100 guests. Not sure on buffet vs sit down dinner? Getting married at sunset too, so I hope they time this right! Sent my save the dates today also...I did a mock airline ticket (sorry can't attach pix on mobile app). I also have a travel agent here who is helping me book everything. Ahh that's all for now, sorry my post is all over the place!
