Has anyone had this problem and if so what did you decide? anything is cheaper than a wedding in Jersey lol

thanks for the link to carpenter! Ive been going nuts looking for it for free

gorgeous!! Im also still working on my DIY save the dates and invitations.. long process

love the gazebo!

Hi! Have any of you brides gotten married at the Riu Palace Las Americas? I'm trying to get in touch with their wedding coordinator but I can't find any information on their website and the email I sent to their general email account hasn't been returned. Thanks in advance!

I have stayed at the CasaMagna.. It's a BEAUTIFUL hotel! Away from the noise of downtown. You'll love it!

And to my understanding, private location receptions are extra. Let me know if you want to see the reception menus! yes definitely!!

does it offer reception on the beach?

I'd love some info.. I might be changing my resort

don't be nervous about it. Just think how excited he'll get to see you

I love the second pic.. you look like a starlette! Your FH will love these pics

it looks so nice! Must have a beautiful view of the ocean.

You know what is nice too is the Dominican Republic book they offer for like $10 as a gift favor..

I just got my dress a week ago.. first one I tried on. It's amazing how you always hear that, and then it happens to you lol I must've tried on like 15 dresses.. but I always went back to the first one.

great job.. they look so elegant yet fit the beach theme!

when I tried to download the templates, it came up blank.. is that bc I don't have the fonts installed yet?

If you do choose this resort I would be happy to send you my wedding pics and any wedding info when we get back next year. I did email some people through tripadvisor that had their weddings their any questions I had about their weddings. Most people are very helpful. I might be able to send you their responses from tripadvisor. If I can figure it out. Yes, I'd LOVE to see wedding pics from there. I sent in my contract today so it's official.. I'm so excited!

i love the boarding passes! i've been trying to do my STD cards as well..

That's unfortunate.. I've ordered from Oriental Trading Company before and haven't had a problem.

the starfish necklace is really cute! Great idea to give to bridesmaids

I'll be getting married at Palma Real in 2009! I'm hoping to go there on vacation next year to get a feel for the place.. but I'm sure it'll be gorgeous
