It starts off as each guest arrives on Thursday, July 6, 2006 they will receive in their room a picture of a palm tree and our sincere thank you's placed on it with the following words:

As we celebrate our destination wedding day
Your presence means so....much
Our family and friends make the occasion complete
They add a special touch
A sincere thank you with lots of hugs and kisses
As you witness our exchange of vows on the eighth of July
And salute the new Mr. & Mrs.

Then there will be an agenda in a program format placed next to it inviting all of them to a night out in the town of Cancun and to spend it at Senor Frogs.
