  1. I have 38 brand new assorted luggage tags, I was going to use them for a shower favor or in OOT bags but ended up having too many people come and this was an early purchase not thinking we would have more than 50 come. Selling for a $1 each, $38 for all. Buyer pays shipping which should fit in a flat rate box. Paypal only please
  2. I have seen the resort is back up and running so that's one less thing for you to worry about! Very exciting it is getting so close!
  3. @@Laurahanby 1. We were planning on renting out the disco since it included drinks for 50 people, DJ and room for a set price but was informed of it being remodeled a month before we were set to leave. This was my moment of panic/bridezilla moment but it worked out in our favor. We ended up having a meeting room for the reception and we loved it. She must have misunderstood before I know it's $100 per hour for a dj. 2. We ended up using Ivan Luckie and we are still waiting for our pics. I have seen people being very happy with the resort photography as well. We wanted more than 3 hours and thought their packages were really pricey for what you get. 3. I actually did not need my dress steamed at all. Where I got my dress she did it all before putting it in a dress bag and said if I needed something to hang it up while running the shower. I brought a travel steamer as well which the guests used more than anything. I would think it would depend on what kind of material your dress is. I just didn't trust leaving my dress with just anyone so I tried to cover the bases myself.
  4. There is an option to use the DJ the resort has for $100 an hour which is alot cheaper than the outside quote they gave me. If you rent out the restaurant there will not be a dance floor set up. Our wedding was July 10 and I sent the wedding planner the updated guest total June 17. As a heads up, you will more than likely get very slow email responses especially being that far out. My wait time once I got to Alejandra the actual wedding planner was at the longest a week but that isn't until a month or so out. Alejandra is amazing though and will make everything perfect! If you have any other questions feel free to ask!
  5. My best advice is don't sweat the small stuff because it seriously will not matter! Did everything go perfectly as planned? Absolutely not! It was perfect weather all week until an hour before the wedding. It was torrential downpour and since we were getting our hair and makeup done off the resort they were calling the guys all day to see if we wanted to move inside. It cleared up and we went with our gut and stuck with the plan to get married on the beach which thankfully was the right call. But looking back on the day it was beautiful and perfect because I was marrying the love of my life surrounded by so much love from our family and friends. Oh and carry on your dress and make sure you have a clear plastic cover for your dress just in case security needs to look/touch it. That way their grubby hands won't get it dirty!
  6. @@lcole1 Thanks! 1. Getting married on the beach is amazing. It is in the area to the right so it is more secluded. There are not beach chairs around but there were people watching but honestly did not even know until I saw the pictures of it! 2. We had 74 people 3. We booked our rooms if I remember in Sept for our July wedding 4. We did not use the resort photographer but Ivan Luckie
  7. Styling Trio was beyond amazing! It was airbrush and it stayed all day even with the heat!
  8. I just got married there July 10th! Everything was perfect and Alejandra the wedding planner is amazing! We did the ceremony on the beach, dinner in the Mexican restaurant and reception in the meeting room. What would you like to know?
  9. We never were asked to pick one and they ended up using our recessional song which was Hall N Oates You Make My Dreams Come True (they just played it twice haha)
  10. Is it just down in Tulum or the whole area? We leave in 2 weeks for our wedding and kinda freaking out if that's how the beach is going to be! We have 75 people coming and most have never been and our ceremony is on the beach.
  11. I made a brochure and included all of the above. It cut down on printing and paper costs combining it into 1! Welcome Brochure.pub
  12. This whole wedding process I have done alot of my own design stuff paperwise. I surprised myself since I am a dance teacher and never really worked on stuff like that! I'm sharing what I have made to help out other brides! It has cut costs with DIY and not buying stuff off etsy, etc. Enjoy! Let me know if is does not work! I can also attach the pdf since I have downloaded alot of fonts which might not load on your computer when you open them! Door hanger.pub OOT Tags.pub Program.pub Welcome Brochure.pub Maraca tag.pub
  13. FYI was just informed today the disco is being changed to a sportsbar set to be completed early July. We were going to have our reception there so that was a fun surprise
  14. @@Evonneda I can't wait to see you pictures and so glad everything was perfect!!! Congrats! @@Mexico2015 Where are you getting quotes from? Holy crap! We picked the resort in August for our July wedding. For example for a standard double room it's around $850 for 7 days.
  15. I'm glad you guys are having such a breeze planning but it's important to remember everyone's experience is different. I have loved the planning part even though it has mostly been me and I didn't expect him to care about all the details going into it. Has it been stressfree? Absolutely not! The finances and paying for everything has been super stressful. Has it caused fights? Absolutely! But we work it out together. He prob doesn't even know we're supposed to have a guest book! Haha We have been together for 5 years, lived together for 2 and we've had discussions about not being just roommates. As you get more comfortable there's not as much effort hence watching tv. Relationships do take effort and it's important the longer you are together to still take time out and go on dates. Maybe take a break from planning, get a sitter and just spend some quality time together. If the loving feelings are there then yes cold feet. If while you're with him and your mind wanders to that other person then maybe it does need looked into more. You're human, other people have crossed my mind but they cross right out of it as well and it goes back to FI. My advice would be to reevaluate how you feel after a date night.
  16. @@linaco80 Bummer! Maybe they're still recovering and having a hard time picking their favorite moment I am located in Ohio!
  17. @@calgarybride2015 that's what I was expecting, was still hoping to be surprised! I mean it was like pulling teeth to get RSVPs back so I can imagine many wouldn't do it even though it's a great idea!
  18. Wow you did an amazing job! I LOVVVEEEEE the postcard idea but I have to know did people actually send them back? This is the first I have seen this idea and I think it's awesome! Wondering if it's worth the time to put on my ever growing to do list Plus I have postcard stamps left from out STDs Also, are you looking to sell the Muchas Gracias sign?
  19. Thank you for starting this thread! We're leaving Sun, wedding Friday but not sure if anything will be open 4th of July so I'm not sure the option that will still look good a week later being in the water alot as well!
  20. @@Evonneda So excited for you! You have to post pictures when you get back! Are you doing a civil ceremony? What paperwork did you need? I have gotten the run around with it and I want to make sure our marriage is legal!
