Moon Palace 2012 Brides

Hey Ladies,

I finally heard from Marvin and although he truly works on "Mexico Time" I am no longer worried with the sample pictures and prices that he sent. So with that said I can check this off of my list.

The only things left to do is what I consider to be the small things (small in the sense that they are already a work in progress and/or I just need to make a decision):

finalize decor (wedding/cocktail hr/reception
work on a few extra DIY projects (not pressed but, will attempt. If they turn out right I will add, if not I won't LOL)
Get FI's ring (narrowed down to 3 choices)
Pay balance on dress when it come in
Order sand ceremony frame
Make wedding programs for our raffia fans
Decide on memorial flower pictures tags or memorial table (both of FI's parents are deceased & my best friend passed 2 yrs ago) Kleenex on hand big time
Decorate Broom for our Jumping the Broom Ceremony
Order Suits for Groom & the Gents (FI work's schedule is crazy) we will order his by month end (Pure linen and blended to see which one he likes the best)
Take my Grandma & Mom shopping for their dress
Order our monogrammed towels (Found but will not do this until end of Jan)
Order my little flower girls dresses (found but will not order until end of Jan)

So with the exception of the 2 items that I will not order until Jan. I am pushing to be done by Nov with the other items. But, am glad to say that I met my goal of getting the MAJOR things done before my son starts back to school. And I have 2 weeks to spare so who knows what I will come up with next LOL

I pray that each of you are chopping away at your to do list!

Blessings

Did you specify all the things you wanted after you signed the contract? Our wedding will be in June and sometimes I feel like I'm doing things too early but your post really made me feel better about it.

Are you speaking of photogs or what I have listed below? As there is a difference between what MP considers to be an "outside vendor" that will have a cost and what you can bring (unlimited only by what you are willing to pay for with extra luggage and customs cost). Either way send me a PM and I will be more than happy to answer any questions that you may have.

The membership is not cheap, and not something you would purchase just for your wedding.

Lizzie is great and very responsive, just know that it may take her a minute to get back to you because MP is either forwarding Lizzie emails from future brides and/or giving out her email. I had a same day turnaround a while back and then it was like 3-5 days. But once you get your locations booked you will relax more.

Hoping you get the places that you want.

Ok she did answer me right away, but said she could only hold the locations not book them- is this what you were told?

All you MP brides look wonderful!! I look forward to chatting with you all, and hopefully reading through this forum can ease my nerves about the cost my guests are paying
