Any Grand Palladium brides?

The only time we needed the bug spray was on the sports bar terrace for the cocktail party.  La Laguna was fine.  It was a little windy so a wrap for later would be a good idea.

We were able to remove our wristbands the day of the wedding.  We had to hang on to them so we could go the next day to the front desk and turn them in for new ones.  We just had to sign a paper when we got the new ones.

An OOT bag means an "Out of Town" bag. I also had NO idea what it stood for when I first joined this forum.  Some brides who are getting married away from where they live normally (destination brides ) will put together bags for their guests including in them things that may be useful during the time they spend away for the wedding. For example, in mine I am putting small things like lip balm with SPF, bandages for cuts and scrapes, aloe, candy, Sudoku or Word Search game books, a welcome booklet that has information about the week and a thank-you note for coming, towel clips to hold beach towels on chairs, a holder that the guests can use for their room key or their tip money, playing cards, gum..... little things like that, nothing too fancy. They are not a necessity at all - some people choose to do it and others do not. I thought it would be a nice touch.

For mine, I bought plain bags and I ironed on a simple design on the bags that are going to most of our guests. For the bridesmaids, maid of honour (my sister) and for my mom and Tyrel's mom I made a special design that I ironed on, but the bags will have a couple of different things in them, like the necklaces I got for the girls, and whatever gift I get for the parents - I haven't decided yet.   I hope that helps explain it a bit for you! 

 

I do hope that I get to meet you!  Wouldn’t that be so crazy!?  You are leaving on the day of our wedding so I will make sure to post pictures here when we return.  Thank you for the advice from Trip Advisor about the bracelets.  That makes me feel better because I hadn’t even thought about how awkward that would look in pictures! 

 

Two final things, hello to Heather from Ontario (my ‘home’ forever) and omg Mikeycelle you are leaving like, tomorrow!!!!!  Best wishes to you I know you will be an absolutely beautiful bride!!  I can’t wait to see pictures and hear about how perfect your day was!!!  Congratulations and enjoy every second!

Good luck Maybride2013 and Mikeycelle, have a totally amazing time!

 

 

Hello Lauren!

Thanks so much for the explanation about the OOT bags! It really is a nice touch for them. Are you giving to them some days before leaving the States or at their arrival to the resort?

 

 

 

Maybride2013!! I wish you the best of luck and I am sure you are going to have the best day of your life!! I am really sure that weddings at GP are wonderful!! We wait your review at your return. Meanwhile, enjoy your days and the beautiful Riviera Maya!!

 

 

 

Claire, your idea is great. Before reading your post I had written to Vanessa asking her which other possibility we could have to make something on the beach in our wedding day. She answered me explaining me that after our dinner at La Laguna, we could make a party with cocktails at Las Rocas Bar. The sand is the floor.  I think is a great idea!! We could dance there while a waiter serves cocktails... I really love the idea and I love Las Rocas area.

 

Here are the pics that Vanessa sent me in her mail. Some are a little bit dark but to have an idea are good.

 

 

    

 

 

 

¡Qué tengáis una buena semana!

(Have a nice week!)

Hi Carlota!

 

I can't see the pictures that Vanessa sent you.    But she did send me a few of Las Rocas before so maybe the were the same.  I think it will be a great party. 

 

I will be bringing the OOT bags with me from Canada and put them together at the resort.  We are arriving 2 days before our guests so Vanessa will hand them out to the guests rooms when they arrive.  It will cost $2 per room for them to hand them out but otherwise Tyrel and I would have to wait in the lobby all day to give them to our guests.  I think it will be nice for them to just have it waiting in the room as a surprise.
