now i'm back on to GP Bavaro too - it's going to be cheaper for the guests than DPB (our other front runner), but i'm hoping if that's the make / break factor, they will be inthe royal suites at GP for a cheaper than DPB, by almost $50/day.

After what feels like an eternity (at least a few weeks), my parents went to Punta Cana for a site visit (my dad's retired from the airlines, so the flight was free). The good part was, all of the resorts they felt would be suitable - no duds in the group. Then, I thought my FI was on board with Dreams Palm Beach, had a date and everything. The issue is that the grand palladium chain (including the boutique hotel within the hotel that nice) is $100 more per couple , per day. He definitely wants, the more people, the merrier, and he believes that the $50 each person is saving would add up and maybe make some more inclined to come to Palladium. The problem I have is the wedding coordinator just takes a tad longer, and I'm just more drawn to Dreams. I feel so stressed, and I just wanted to have this thing done with. Ok, feeling a little better just with writing that down...

very nice!!

Congratulations! I love your cake.

1. not in mexico (this was during swine flu hype) / easy to fly to 2. all-inclusive 3. catholic wedding 4. relatively affordable for the guests, still a 4 star resort 5. included kids - though now, I just found out they are not coming!

Taratoons, how were the pools set up at DPB? My FI loves the "lazy river", but reading all this stuff about DPC, i'm inclined to look at DPB over DPC.

Congratulations and welcome! Deciding where you want to have it (for me) was half the battle - hopefully this site will be helpful in your planning.

Has anyone stayed at the Royal Suites? I saw some so-so reviews on Trip Advisor, this is on our list but i'm not sure if it's worth paying the extra $$ to stay in that section of the resorts.

Congratulations and welcome! My parents went to a site visit to DPB and loved it!! It's definitely high on our list!

City Dreams, this info is really helpful, thank you for posting!!

PC Bride, do you have any photos of the rooms? My parents got back from a visit to PC last week, and Iberostar was their favorite of the places. I hope to read your reviews after the wedding!

Congratulations and welcome!

i think, that in general the majestic will be more expensive than the palladium. i agree about checking with a TA - a fellow BDW bride recommended ours, and so far so good!

Congratulations!! GBP was on the list of my parents' site visit (they got back from PC two days ago, and we are meeting up with them today to see their photos and their notes.) It's still up there, i can't wait til we make the final decision to where it's going to be!

Congratulations and welcome! The grand palladium is a big resort, but it's definitely high on our list too. Yay for another April 2010 bride!

I've never seen this website, but I've done the zip line thing before, it was cool, but I don't know if I'd do it again. Are you thinking of doing a big group excursion with your wedding group on one of these tours?

Congratulations!! My parents are in PC now, doing a site visit, and I'm hoping to book next week!

Ayita, I'm so jealous! I moved to NY from FL two years ago, and have missed the warm weather since. And, my FIL are coming up from FL this weekend, and even more rain is predicted.

We are registering, because people have asked, and, my mother and the MOH are going to throw a shower here in the US before the wedding.

LOL - the smiling poop sticker cracks me up

Congratulations and welcome!

Congratulations!! Other than eliminating paradisus and excellence, hopefully some of the other popular DR resorts should be able to accommodate you. Best of luck!!

I like the color combo and the dresses a lot...I'm going to look into these for my BMs!

these are great! I like the multiple colors used on the invite. where did you find the outer envelopes - the "ticket to paradise" on the outside i'm going to steal shamelessly on ours!

I would be proud too! I'm employed but looking for a new job, and you've inspired me to pick up the search again! Best of luck with your search
