I did! I found cute gift bags that had a light blue and navy starfish pattern on them that said Welcome to Our Wedding! I included sunscreen, mini aloe vera gel (almost EVERYONE used these), starfish and clam shell shaped bath fizzes to use in the jetted tub, a welcome letter and itinerary for the week, a disposable underwater camera (we chartered a catamaran for the day after the wedding and people loved these), and personalized mint tins in our wedding colors with our name/wedding date. I either included one bag per couple or if people were traveling as singles, a bag for each person. The bags were delivered at turndown service on the first night that guests arrived.

 

If you do bring a lot of gifts just make sure that you bring all of your receipts with you for customs. There is a $300 limit for each person traveling in to Mexico of items that they can bring duty-free. There were 10 of us who traveled together going down (the rest of the guests joined 2 days later) so they just divided the total $$ amount by 10 so that I was in the clear. In some cases I used Microsoft Word templates to make customized receipts for things that I either didn't have a receipt for or if the value amount would have exceeded the overall allowance.

What is the best way for us to book with our guest, thru the resort or thru a travel agent? I mentioned something to the resort about getting a special group rate and they said something about talking with a travel agent. I really didn't want to go thru one but if that is whats best I will. What are y'alls opinions?

[kefritz]

They told us it had to be a minimum of 10 rooms booked. We ended up doing it individually
