Welcome!! This is a great place

Congrats and welcome!

I also posted a things to do on our website. Although the activity on our website has been very poor. What are you all doing to get people to go on it. I have it posted on facebook, and everytime i do a mailer to the guests i always include it. Is anyone else having this issue?

Dido- Going to have a city hall ceremony with our parents a week or two before we leave. Much much easier!!

I actually just got my bags from walmart. They are the reusable totes they sell only 97 cents. Beach themed, the picture is of a beach with umbrellas on it, very colorfull and so perfectly themed.

All great ideas. Do most people plan on handing them out at the resort. I would love to go around once we get to the resort and personally thank everyone for coming. I think that would be great!!

I'll check it out this week! Exciting! thanks for sharing.

Love the bag!!

Congrats and welcome!

Congrats! Welcome, you'll find so many ideas on this site! I know I have. Good luck planning.

I kinda had the same issue...From Regina to Puerto Plata Staying at a Riu resort we are paying with tax $1605 for 1 week all inclusive. We are going mid February which is high season but most of our friends think it's to expensive. All our family has put down the deposits, but no friends who say they are coming but wanting to book last minute to get a good deal. My travel agent has advised against doing this because first out resort has less than 500 rooms, so they will fill up quickly and also if they do fill up really your guest can't come to your wedding if they are not at your resort. I know our resort requires 80% of guests to be staying at our hotel or they cannot come. I would really try to encourage people to pay ahead of time, this is not just a vacation this is your wedding. I feel that for our situation, the people who truly cared about us have already booked.

Glad to hear no one really has had any issues with taking things in. We are going to have 20 bubba mug kegs split up into 3 suitcases, and I was getting a little worried about them. Thanks for the post.

Thanks for sharing!

For a legal ceremony you need to be in the dr for 3 days. For a sybolic/rov ceremony you only need to be in the dr for 2 days. I know the Iberostar is beautiful! It was actually my 1st choice but b/c of the price we had to pick another location.

Main reason for us was b/c no blood test! Way easier all we have to do is wait 3 days- and actually we are having a symblolic ceremony and my wc told me we actually only need to be in the DR for two days for that type.
