So I decided to start off this holiday weekend right by posting my wedding review finally!!! I wanted to start off by thanking all of the BDW Brides (and grooms) on this forum, especially the Moon Palace Brides!!! The information and ideas posted on here has been invaluable for planning our wedding and there is no way we could have had the wedding of our dreams without you girls!! I wanted to return the favor and post as much info as possible relating to our wedding planning and actual wedding. cheapest international air flight ticket Our wedding was truly amazing and I am so glad we chose to do a destination wedding!!! Please feel free to post any questions that I did not answer cheapest international air flight ticket and I will try and answer cheapest international air flight ticket them as often as I can. Thanks!!!!
P.S. Since this review is very long, I will be posting several cheapest international air flight ticket posts at once, the last post of this review cheapest international air flight ticket will have "End of Review." So that you know my review is over and you can post comments or questions.
I knew from this site that contact with the Miami and onsite wedding coordinators is pretty sporadic and sometimes can get frustrating. I guess since I knew this in advance it didn't really bother me when I wouldn't get a response for a couple of days to my e-mails, etc. I got most of my answers from this site and just kept it really basic when it came to working with the coordinators. cheapest international air flight ticket I just requested my venues and reserved the mariachi, etc. and told myself I wouldn't stress over anything. Most of what we needed to take care of happened after we got there. I just brought everything we wanted to use and we worked out how it would be set up once we got there. cheapest international air flight ticket Claudia in Miami was really sweet and great to work with. I did have issues getting a hold of her at times but nothing critical. She can only take requests when it comes to gazebos etc., so when I started wanting to reserve specific locations etc. she assigned me to Kalena and gave me her e-mail so I could coordinate with her directly. I LOVED Kalena!!! She was SO sweet and really easy to work with. She suggested we use the Caribbean Terrace for our reception since it was available and it was PERFECT! She also made the day run so smoothly and saved the day for us when my husband forgot to put our first dance song on our iPod. She made some great suggestions during our meeting and was so organized that everything went perfectly! She also helped us organize the processional and when we should do the sand and lazo ceremonies, etc.
We chose the Complimentary Wedding cheapest international air flight ticket package because cheapest international air flight ticket we knew there were no substitutions with the other packages and there were some things included in the big packages that we didn't need or want to pay for. This allowed us to customize everything we wanted. We had the old "Free" package at first but our coordinator said that the new "Complimentary cheapest international air flight ticket Package" (which was $300… so I don't know where they get the meaning of Complimentary from??) included the bride's bouquet ($146), groom's boutonniere ($42), blood test fees ($100), small cake ($89 - we didn't need this though), and translation from English to Spanish of all the required docs you bring (usually $45-$80). We figured it came out cheaper to just pay the $300 since we were going to get everything besides the cake anyway. We did however pay the $90 to get our marriage certificate translated to English because I didn't want to deal with it once we got back.
I contacted Zuniga (Deco Cancun) directly via e-mail to get quotes on lounge set-ups and other options they had. They were really easy to work with and I was REALLY surprised at how reasonable their prices were. We ended up getting two lounge set-ups, the lantern light structure, cheapest international air flight ticket floral centerpieces and fuchsia throw pillows plus we had to pay for set-up. They let us use the paper lanterns we brought because I wanted to use fuchsia and green instead of the standard white and also let us use our acrylic ice rocks and submersible Floralytes in the vases of the centerpieces. We just dropped all of that stuff off to Kalena on the day of our meeting and she took care of the rest.
We started off by creating a website at Veronica and Patrick's Wedding - wedding website by mywedding.com . It's a free site and I'm really glad we didn't spend the extra money to create a more elaborate site because it really had everything we needed and allowed our guests to 'tentatively' RSVP online after they got their Save the Dates to give us something to go off of before formal RSVPs would be due. It was also a great way to keep our guests up to date with information.
We wanted to send out our Save the Dates a year in advance but didn't end up sending them out until the beginning of August. I don't think it really mattered though because most people already knew that we were going to Cancun to get married and those who really wanted to be there for us made it happen. We included our website address and password and asked that they tentatively RSVP online so we had some idea as to headcount.
For the STDs we used Stardream metallic cardstock (in onyx), Stardream text weight paper (in quartz) cheapest international air flight ticket and plain 5x7 black envelopes from Discount Blank Invitations, Card Stock, Envelopes and More from CutCardStock.com . We purchased the satin ribbon from Joann.com (Offray in Azalea) since they didn't have that color in any of the stores. We used our inkjet printer to print the base and then just used a craft paper cutter to cut them to size. For the magnets we used Avery Magnet Sheets and used a large paper cutter to cut them. We were able to fit 6 magnets per sheet and attached them to the STDs using clear photo corner stickers purchased at Michael's. Everyone really loved the STDs and it was fun seeing our magnet on people's refrigerators 
I absolutely LOVED how our invitations came out! They took a lot of time and effort but I think it was worth the end result  I am a DIY girl all the way and this took a little longer cheapest international air flight ticket than I estimated it would. We sent them out the first of the year with an RSVP date of February 17th. That gave me two months to get together OOT bags etc once I had a final count and by then most people already knew if they were going or not anyway.
I purchased the 6x6 Pink Azalea Metallic pocketfolds from paperandmore.com for $40/pack of 50 (x2) and found that the cardstock was cheaper there as well! I used Fairway Green and Black Onyx metallic cardstock. I used some Stardream Crystal metallic text weight paper that I bought from cutcardstock.com for printing the text on (had to use a laser printer for this particular color of paper…because ink jet would not print nicely on it). I got the ribbon and the Swarovski crystals off of eBay sellers. I had my daughters helping me glue the crystals cheapest international air flight ticket on each invitation and they were so proud of being able to help me with them. I took a completed invitation to the post office to have them tell me how much it would cost to mail and then had our logo printed on custom postage stamps at stamps.com. I rounded our postage up to the next increment because I didn't want to chance any of our invitations being returned to us. Also an FYI, they also charge extra to mail square envelopes because they say they are non-machinable (which is crap because we could tell that they ran at least some of them through cheapest international air flight ticket their machines cheapest international air flight ticket anyway!).
I am SO GLAD we did OOT bags for our guests! They were really surprised when they got them and really appreciated the gesture. We kept it really simple because we were running out
