I got the guys outfits from two places.. the shirts from Sears (which was the last place i went for linen and the only place to have it when i bought them last month) and the linen pants from kohls..

OMG!!! All i can say is WOW!!! Your pics are absolutely breathtaking!!!!! I have to go with pic 8 tho... that is def the NICEST destination wedding pic I have seen.. hands down!

Hello.. I am also getting married at the Melia Caribe Tropical on June 26th, 2010 and I asked the resort to send me some pictures of each location (garden gazebo, beach & beach gazebo) bc we were so torn and after seeing the pics we decided on the beach gazebo.. it looks absolutely breathtaking!

Hello!! I live on Long Island in NY!! Getting married June 26th, 2010 in Punta Cana!!

Hey girls... I just order my invites from exclusivelyweddings.com.. i choose the dream castle invite (937-0111) which I wasnt crazy about when i saw it online but ordered it as one of the 5 free samples they let you order and when it came i love love loved it... we were gonna go with the passport invites and then saw how much it would be to order then we were gonna go with cards & pockets but realized how much work was involved so for just under $200 we got 100 of the invites, 100 response cards, & 100 multi- purpose cards to write our wedding websites & reservation info.. we only needed 70 but for the options were 75 or 100 and the price was only $1.00 difference... anyways getting to the point of the post... when i ordered my samples from them they included a 10% off coupon (coupon code INVSMPL) but upon searching the internet i found a coupon for 20% off and to my surprise it actually worked... i dont know when it expires so i am sorry if it ends sometime soon it didnt say when.. but for 20% off your order of $100+ the coupon code is EMX31.. hope someone else is able to use that for a great saving like i did.. i saved $50 off my order which was AWESOME

im new hear and once im told ill probably be like o duh.. but what does motm stand for.... i gather the otm is of the month but i cant figure out the m....

That is really nice... i also like how you incorporated your dog in

we arent paying for anyones full trip... we gave our parents and between the 2 of us we have 5 brothers and sisters all of them each a $200 voucher towards there trip that we will pay for... so its costing us $1800..... we really cant afford to do more then that plus like most of the brides said we gave them 11 months notice.. if they wanted to come they would have saved up to make it happen..

I am also a huge fan of the series and didnt read them to just before twilight came out into the movie theaters.. im am going to stop there about the actual book or i could go on for like 2 hours about this crazy obsession.. but i did want to point out.. i dont know about you girls but i think there is two kinds of people when it comes to the series.. the ones who have no interest in reading it or the ones that have read and are OBSSESED.... i dont think i have ever met anyone who was like yea i read it it was ok.... no its either u never read it or you read it and cant get enough.... hahaaa... sorry i just had to say that..

Yes welcome... i have online been on here for about 2 weeks but have found SooOo much useful things that i would have never even considered.. everyone is super friendly and helpful! Good luck with the planning

i had my heart set on the passport invitations but when i was given a price quote of about $600 for $65 and feel that i am nervous to do them myself I think I will definately look into this website... your invitations are soo nice and according to everyone there prices are great.. ill give them a try.. thanks for the tip

Let me know how its going!! YAYY Thanks again everyone..... jessandeamon... congrats to you too... im so up in the air about everything.. we did the fairy tale package but i just feel like i dont want to pay a min of $8 pp just for wine, beer soda.. thats not even including any other alcohol... and I actually didnt realize until tonight that you can use other photographers.. i thought you can only choose the photographer out of there catalog.. but i actually found out from another thread that on facebook they have a group called melia caribe tropical brides.. and i joined and they have so many pictures from different photographers so now i have to go through all their websites they attatched and see hwo we wanna go with... if you have facebook and you didnt do so already you should join that group bc alot of the photographers are putting discounts on the page.. what two photographers are you thinking about.. also.. what location are you choosing for the actual ceremony...

Yes seriously those are gorgoues... please share where you got them... i never even thought about purchasing fake flowers to bring with me so i didnt have to buy them from the hotel.. and for fake flowers they are so nice!!

I dont think they should be invited to my wedding! Once we let my parents invite their friends....well that opens the gates for my FI parents to inivite their friends. I tried to explain to my mom that we have to pay per person for the reception, she says she'll pay the extra for her friends!! And on top of all of this, we are having a AHR that all of these friends are more than welcome to come to as my parents are paying for it!!! My mom also must be related to yours!! hahaaa... i think she kind of backed down from the wedding invites (well i mean she already has 3 of her friends invited).. but for our engagement party (that we paid for ourselves.. along with the wedding and everything else) she kept adding on more and more friends of hers that she wanted to add... one couple of which she had just gotten close with like a month before... and tehn was insulted when i told her that my FI and I werent inviting our own friends to keep the cost down and I couldnt afford to invite all of her friends... I can go on and on there as you can tell... so i never told anyone but i knew how my FI planned on proposing to me before he did it..... I love my FI more then anything in the world but being romantic is not his specialty.. (is that horribly mean to say.. oops) and i knew he was going to pop the question soon just didnt know how and one day randomly he just says.. would you be interested in reading a book of poems if i bought one.... as soon as he said that i knew thats how he was gonna do it..... a few days later he came home with a book of poems and asked me to sit down he wanted to read a few to me..... I didnt have the heart to tell him that he blew up his own spot... but i def have to give him credit for the romance part of it.. it was so cute.. he read a few poems that he had pre-selected and then gave me the book and told me to pick one to read.. when i turned the page he had the whole half back of the book carved out into a heart and the ring was hanging on a red ribbon.... i dont think i will evcer be able to tell him that :X

We are both Punta Cana brides!! ) As of the 26th of December we were 6 months out.. so i guess I am going to make them and as soon as there done send them out.. How many months prior to the wedding date are you putting your rsvp date down as?

Thanks everyone!!

I am looking for something very light.. beige linen pants and white shirt.... any sugestions on how you girls went about deciding on what the guys will wear?? Thanks

Hi girls.. hopefully i can get some opinions on when the right time is to send out my wedding invitations and what date should i put for my RSVP if my wedding is 06-26-10.... I dont want to send them out to soon and have a RSVP date to far away bc i dont want people to forget about the invite if i give them to long to RSVP but i also want to send out the invitations as a "reminder" if you will that if they are going they need to book... we sent out our save the date cards in september and then we actually had our save the date cards resent out by destinationweddings.com bc we switched out wedding coordinator bc her lack of getting anything right (but thats another story for another post (o:) and they resent out the std's late nov as an update of the new contact person. So confused... someone please help )

Thanks everyone!!

Those look awesome!!

They look amazing..... Thanks for attatching your templates..... I am working on mine as we speak!! Your AWESOME!! thanks again.. Ill let you know how they come out!
