I would really recommend carrying as much as you can - also it is a good idea to split some of your things between your check in bags. For instance I am giving my parents some stuff to bring, we'll take some and am giving a few small things to my maid of honour. Obviously this depends on your baggage allowance and how much you are bringing. We are only carrying over the favours and some small decorations. The only thing I'll have shipped to the hotel is handmade personalized marracas but these are being made in Mexico.

I used to travel to mexico for business about 5 years ago and shipped a few trade show/client things separately.  I had a lot of issues as postal systems work differently there from what I understand. If you do ship I would make sure that you ship via FedEx or UPS which can get pricey.x

oooo handmade maracas in Mexico.. would love to know who your vendor is!

Trish are you able to assist in any way or speed the process along in your position of "Insider" as a few of the ladies on hre are over the 150 posts but unable to download documents?

 

Many thanks in advance - lots of ladies will really appreciate it  if you can

I really can't believe they have 4 weddings per location per day. That seems so crowded, but I haven't really heard anyone complain, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much either.

Wow 4 a day a location is a TON!  I found a really good deal with westjet group so I am thinking I will change my dates from Nov 23-30th instead.  I hope I can get a date.  When I asked about the 10-17 the only days they could offer were the 13th and the 17th.

Nope, I have no pull when it comes to activating your account.  You just need to be patient.  It only takes a few more days.

Thank you so much for all the great information everyone! Really helpful! Bags on board it is! I would also like to know where you are getting the maracas

[futuremrswarner]

I've discovered maracasmexico.com for handmade maracas in Mexico. They're based in Puerto Vallarta, but it's mentioned on the website that they deliver to the resorts for you. I haven't checked for prices with them yet, so you guys can check it out if you want.

These are the links to each of the 3 different locations, if you click on each of them then click on the photos in turn you are given a 360 degree view of each point - pretty good

 

Tulum Gazebo wedding location is on the furthest right of this picture

Akumal wedding location is roughly on the large beach area in front of the swimming pool that is on the left side of this picture. Coba is the area in the background - it is central and doesnt have it's own beach area.
