Thank-you!

Hi Brides, I am 4 months from my wedding date in Mexico, and I am starting to plan what to do for Welcome bags. I was thinking we would go simple and classic... travel size suntan lotion and aloe, advil, pepto bismol, hair ties, chapstick, pool float (like the cheap "beds" or long ones), snacks or candy, etc. Any creative suggestions on welcome bags would be greatly appreciated, or where to purchase these items in bulk. We don't want to spend too much, but we want to say "hello and thank-you for coming" to our guests when they arrive in Mexico. THANK-YOU!!! DZweds

Thank-you all for your suggestions and confirmations. We looked at 3 resorts in 1 day and it was exhausting. So glad we didn't look at more. Also I loved the resort I picked originally, and ended up selecting it for our wedding next March.

Hi All, I recently got engaged last month. My fiancé and I are looking at having a destination wedding March 2015 or summer 2015. We travel a lot and LOVE the beach, so a destination wedding is perfect for us. We are 90% committed on having the wedding in Riviera Maya Mexico. It convenient for all our guest to travel to and travel is affordable. We also like Aruba, but travel is a little bit more difficult for our guests and it's the most expensive option. My fiancé also suggested these 3 resorts in Riviera Maya: - Grand Palladium Kantenah Resort and Spa - Iberostar Tucan Hotel - Grand Bahia Principe Tulum I suggested these resorts: - Azul Fives - Dreams Cancun - NOW Jade - NOW Sapphire - Ocean Coral & Turquesa After researching these resorts, I have found some things at I don't like about the resort in general, so I didn't consider them for my wedding. Either the resort is too big, further from airport than I would like, only allowed 3 reservations per week at specialty restaurants, I didn't like the wedding packages, wedding too expensive, rooms too expensive, etc. I narrowed it down to the following 3 resorts: - NOW Jade - NOW Sapphire - Ocean Coral & Turquesa (we actually attended a wedding there in 2013, and it was amazing, so we know what to expect) My fiancé and I were going to travel to Riviera Maya soon for a vacation, and we were going to spend a day touring resorts and selecting one for our wedding. He was surprised I've narrowed my findings down to 3 resorts and only want to tour those 3 resorts. He was expecting to visit 6-7 resorts. Now I am really doubting myself in the selections I have done and my research. HELP! I thought it was best to narrow our options from 8 resorts down to 3 (easier to make a decision). I haven't researched any other resorts that could be possible contenders. Any suggestions on other resorts would be greatly appreciated. Having to go through more resort reviews seems overwhelming to me at this point. We would like a resort that is 4 stars or higher, family friendly, affordable, etc. THANK-YOU!!! DZweds
