Dreams Riviera Cancun - Brides post here (new thread)

[RollerBride]

We are doing our Cocktail Hour in the Desires Lounge. It's probably going to be super hot (August 4th) so we wanted to get everyone in the air conditioning for a little bit. If I wasn't doing that though, I think I would go with the Jacuzzi. I read some nice things on here about it and it seems like a great setting.

Ceremony at 5:00 @ Gazebo

Cocktail Hour at 7:00 @ Either Jacuzzi or Ocean Front Pool Deck

Dinner Reception at 8:00 @ Ocean Front Pool Deck

 

Hmmm...

Has anyone getting married soon done a timeline for you photogrpahers for the "getting ready" portion of the photos?

 

We are not purchasing a 2nd photographer, so I was wondering how I should go about getting ready:

Should we have the photographers come to my room first to do pics of me and the girls getting ready and dressed, etc, then have the photographer go to the grooms room?

or should we do it the other way around where the photographer goes to the groom first, then comes to me, then we go to the ceremony? <-- i think that might be the best bet, but i'm not too sure and I just wanted to know how other couples did it or were planning to do it.

 

i'm also thinking about moving everything back one hour! hahaha i'm going to ask Anel for advice on that I think.

Make sure that what ever you give your family members to carry that you provide them with all the receipts. Anything over 300.00 per person they will charge you tax.

So the receipt must match what that person is caring.

[rykell]

If you are checked, which they can see you coming a mile away with your wedding gown and extra luggage, they will pull you over and go through most of the time. 

You need all the receipts except clothing.

Only 300.00 per person or they will tax you to bring that into their country.

We are planning to give some to mother of the bride, mother of the groom , dads, maids of honour, but remember you need to give them the receipts .
