Late To The Party Newbie!

Hello BDW Forum Folks!

 

I've been taking advice and reading reviews in stealth on here for months, as I prepare for my October 2014 wedding at the Hilton Los Cabos, and I felt it was time to give back to the community, and also become more active in asking questions.  I also want to be able to share my own experiences now and afterwards to pay it forward with all future brides who are struggling with the same questions I struggled with.

 

Beyond introducing myself, I'm also wondering what the most unexpected stressor or cause of frustration was for any destination brides out there.

 

One thing I've been concerned about is keeping in communication with everyone when we're all down there.  (I was thinking WhatsApp, but the resort charges a daily fee that I'm not sure everyone will be willing to pay, and thus will prevent us from being able to communicate with everyone effectively).  Maybe this will end up to be a problem, or maybe it will be a major issue.  Either way, would love to hear other experiences with this.

I'm a October bride as well, Punta Cana! Was just hoping word of mouth as a form of communication.

Welcome! 

 

I'm also interested in what others have to say about communication!  We're planning on including a schedule in the OOT bags, and will pass around room numbers at the rehearsal dinner.  I don't know the wifi situation, so I don't know if we'll be able to email/etc.  I know my phone will be off personally

Good thinking - I forgot to see if my hotel has wifi

We are putting contact numbers on our schedules that will be passed out in our OOT bags. The MOH and MOG will be anyones contact while at the resort. Other than that we aren't worried about it =0)

 

Good luck and congrats on your upcoming wedding!

Congratulations. I also am getting married this October 2014 in Jamaica. So far my unexpected stressor is the lack of RSVP cards sent back (although I have a round about of ppl attending).

I will be including our itinerary in each guest room with the wedding favor so that everyone knows what is going on (especially on the big day). Good Luck

Welcome to the forum, MissMarissa, and Congrats on your upcoming Los Cabos wedding in Oct !!! we've found that one of the easiest ways to communicate in Mexico is via skype. I hope you find all the answers you're looking for from the wide variety of resources here.....all the best with your plans - cheers!
