We are waiting to order the OOT bag items until we know how many are coming for sure. We are also thinking about booking an excursion to Altos de Chavon for everyone, but we are looking into the cost of hiring vans for the day. As for the STD and the invites, we sent out the STD after getting engaged to give everyone about a years notice. Then I started making the invites so that when we booked and had a wedding date, we could send out the actual invites. I sent out the invites with all the wedding info, booking info & prices about a week after booking our trip.

Wow you got a lot done. I see you bought the fabric for the bm dresses, are you making them yourself?

I saw some really cute bride related blue panties at Victoria's Secret if you are interested.
