What a great welcome bag, so cute! Do you know for sure if we allowed to bring all of that past customs? I read this and got nervous about bringing snacks and things like advil for guests: http://www.cancun-airport.com/customs.htm

I'm freaking out! LOL! I feel like I have so much to do in a month: programs, centerpieces, veil, welcome bags, etc...

HI ladies, 

 

for those of you who decorated with paper lanterns, what size of lanterns do you recommend?  I am thinking I will buy around 30 for our beach reception, but not sure how big will be too large for the space.

The only real "snacks" are things like powdered ice tea  packets & the gum which are both in packaging. I believe as long as it's in the original packaging (which it is) and it's not worth much in terms of value (they don't want you bringing in high retail value things if they think you're going to sell it) then I think I should be fine. I have brought medication in last time and I was fine. I am checking all of this with my bags not my carry-on. It also clearly states wedding survival kit and lots of other brides have brought similar things in - so I really don't forsee any problems. I will let you know though if I do- wow we leave next wed! Crazy!

If you hire an outside DJ for your ceremony and reception do they bring microphones  that can be used for the ceremony?

Good morning brides

 

Sehausle - have an amazing wedding Can't wait to see your pictures and hear your review, I hope it all goes very smoothly and you have a great time!

 

For those that are already married - did they let you do a "signature drink"?

 

How long did it take for your makeup and hair to get done at the salon? I'm working on the "day of" schedule, I've alloted 2 hours, that should be good right? It's just me.

I really want to wear my hair down and curled (it is very long).... would this look hold up in the humidity though?  Suggestions?

I just went to Ulta and I told the lady someone said the Urban Decay makes them look oily and she recommended the anti- oil slick version. Also, she said in a pinch some cheap White Rain Hair spray does wonders (she was a Makeup artist who works on brides quite a bit).

Hey Ladies,

    This is the best site ever. I am so excited to have found it. My fiancé and I visited Dreams in September and we have just this week booked the date of July 18th for our wedding. We are very excited, however we are noticing that a lot of family members are starting to  be concerned about the wedding being far away ( we live in NY). My parents especially, are worried that many people won't attend ( which I am okay with).  I am just wondering how many people most of you invited, and then how many people ended up actually attending. If you would be willing to share this with me I would really love it!  Another completely random question I have that may be on here but I haven't read all the pages is whether or not Chinese Lanterns are allowed. We would like to release them the night of the wedding, and the ones I found are non plastic and biodegradable. I was just wondering if anyone knew. Thanks so much!
