Browse the DR forum and I'm sure there's a thread for it. You can also search the wedding reviews for brides who have been married there.

just a quick question. i am getting married july 2011. when should i send out my save the dates? i was honestly thinking in Jan 2010, just to give ppl a heads up, and to let the ppl that really need to save have enough time too....then not send out my invites til much further along, as we havent booked with a travel agent yet....

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. We are getting married at the Excellence Riviera Cancun. This is where he proposed to me, so it was an easy choice for us. We love it there it is so romantic and just beautiful. The food is great and the service there is the best I have ever experienced in my life. Everyone is treated like royalty. We have chosen Claudia Rodriguez photography. I would love to have Sol Tamargo, but she is just too expensive. For the style of photography we are looking for, Claudia's pricing is unbeatable. The other Excellence resort in Playa Mujeres is beautiful, too. I have not been there yet. It is the newer of the two resorts and is a little more upscale. I just love the Excellence group, they do an amazing job.

Hey I'm a 2011 bride and i've been on the site since late 2009. So their is no such thing as early LOL. Time has flown by and i know it will just keep speeding up. Now its novemebr and ive got a date book and ready to send out the save the dates and travel info. YAY

Have any of you ladies been in touch with the resort yet? We're getting married in early April and I feel crazy wanting to contact the resort already and try to set a date. We already have a travel agent, and as soon as dates come out for 2011 we're going to start booking.

Are you guys send out your std without actually booking the resort first? I've been in contact with the WC at the resort I want to get married at and she's told me that they're not booking for 2011, and hasn't responded as to when that would be. She's just told me that she'll let me know when that time comes. I really want to send out std's asap (booking for jan 2011), but I'm hesitant to do that without actually booking a date yet. What do you think?

I went and saw a travel agent about 3moths ago to just find out about the process. And she suggested i come and see her in the middle of Jan to have pricing and to contact the resort. She said most tavel agents do not get info till then.

as for the STD's, i am sending mine out come Jan, even if i dont have the exact date i am to be getting married, i am sending them out to let ppl know that it will be in July 2011. Then when i send out the invites, it will have my actual day. I feel like the STD's for a destination wedding is just to give your guests a heads up for the time frame for them to start saving.
