Oh man, I have to wait till i'm home to open this. Don't want to get in trouble at work.

Welcome to the forum!

Wow those are big. I think you got a great deal on them, good job! I love how the description calls them "Big Ass" bags.

Beautiful pictures! The beach looked so pretty. I love your dress, perfect for a DW. Very pretty!

I'm giving my bags out before everyone leaves. So i'm going to buy some 1qt ziploc bags and put a note of the airline regulations 3-1-1 in each ziploc bag. It's super cheap but also very helpful especially for the people who don't travel much. They might not realize these rules.

I can't wait to see yours Tami. Mine should be here any day.

That's a good tip Brandi! I'm making eggs like that 2morrow.

I have lots more ideas if anyone is interested! I'm totally interested in more ideas. I've just started eating healthy with fi, it's so hard coming up with ideas for him to eat. He's so picky! please pm with any. Thanks!

I couldn't imagine fi putting makeup on. That would never happen.

Out of Town

Welcome to the forum, there's a ton of info on here to help you decide your destination.

That is pretty creepy! He's basically cutting into his new wife to cut the cake.

So i'm biting off Ben and Kelly and making a CD to give to my guests before we leave for Punta Cana. I want the cd to get them pumped about going away. Here are the songs I came up with (no particular order, and i'm sure some aren't proper titles of the songs SORRY): -Vacation by GoGos -Holidy by Madonna -We Gotta Get Out of This Place by The Animals -Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffett -If you like Pina Coladas -The Lion Sleeps Tonight (song always reminds me of a summer party) -Here Comes the Sun by The Beattles -Jammin' by Bob Marley -Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys Any suggestions for songs? It's mostly family coming to the wedding, grandparents, aunts and uncles. Not a real young crowd. Thanks girls...

I totally want the waffle house breakfast you just described. I'm sitting here drinking my yogurt smoothie wanting WAFFLE HOUSE! I got now suggestions for ya, i eat lowfat yogurt and ready to eat cut up apples EVERY day. Every once in a while i'll eat eggs on wheat toast. Whoopie! I hope someone has a good suggestion.

Your hubbie did a great job.

My fi ironed on a pic of the phillies on a sweat shirt and it came out really good. So I guess you can do pics. The pic was very high quality, that might make a difference.

How many of your guests are planning to stay outside of the PPR? All of mine are staying at the PPR, I'm hoping anyone who books late gets a room at the PR too. Derek's sis got married in Riviera Maya a few years ago and it was really great for everyone to be together on vacation. I want both of our families to enjoy a vacation together and get to know one another, I would probably switch if most of them weren't going to stay at the PR. But I envisioned my wedding as a week long vacation with family. Is that something you were concerned about? I don't see how they could just bill you for all the people like that, that's crazy! Maybe you should talk to Kelly. Let her know that you can't afford to pay for everyone's day pass and if that's the case, you'll have to switch resorts. I switched resorts from Dreams to PPR, it happens. I know I was freakn out when I did it but now i realize it was the best for us. You have to decide what is important to you and your fi. These decisions are tough, I know!

I bought packets of excedrin, pepto and sunburn relief pacs on amazon.com today. They were a little cheaper than minimus.biz. I also bought some stuff on ebay like personalized koozies. And I bought a ton of stuff that was flip flop themed, hibiscus, and beach themed at oriental trading co. They have personalized wedding tins full of mints. They were only 24 for $20. And are so cute. Since all of my guests are booking through my travel agent, I'm going to get everyone's travel info (tickets) and give out the bags with that. This way I don't have to lug all the stuff down.

I saw the menus posted for some other resorts so I'd figure i post the PPR menus for girls who don't have them. I know before i chose a resort I wanted to look over menus, it's nice to see your options before making a decision.

I'm getting married at the Palma Real. Did you consider the Paradisus Punta Cana? It looked really nice too. And the new resort EdenH looks awesome, i think it's a lot cheaper than pr. The PR is expensive, but it was one of the few places that me and Derek both could agree on. Plus the people who we really wanted there, were going to be there regardless of the price. We are only having about 30 ppl. How many guests are you expecting to have? Are you planning on paying for their day pass? If anyone stays outside the PPR, I wasn't going to pay for the day pass.

Me too! Please post!

Welcome to the forum!

Wow you putting a lot in those bags! Lucky guests! Well I got regular playing cards and chips for the guys from oriental trading co. They came in sets I think I got 12 sets for $12. I hope they are pretty good quality. I did order koozies too for both guys and girls. So I should have both sexes covered now! I ordered a bunch more stuff. I'll post it when it all comes in, I got so much stuff that I kinda forget what i ordered. I went waaaaay overboard. I always do that! I'm addicted to shopping and love giving gifts, bad combo!

Congratulations, that's great!
