love the glasses all of them!

welcome & happy planning!!

Recieved the flash drives today...now I need to brainstorm on the wording to add to the card I plan attaching. The cool thing about the flash drives is they are also memory cards for SD and RS and mini SD. This makes it easier for guest to take the memory cards directly from the camera + attached to flash drive + then connect to computer. way too cool! Its obvious I'm a techie! :-D Anyway, suggestions on wording for the cards!?

I love your colors!! They are beautiful. everything looks great you have a lot of good ideas...thanks!

congrats and welcome!

wonderful, please post the pictures!

I created Thanks for Booking Cards...FREE for 25! The envelopes are just as adorable as the card itself. There was a cost for the matching envelope, I don't remember how much but minimal. I was planning to send with luggage tags and passport cover but I love the cards so much I think I may want to send separate. What do you think?

I also recommend considering how many of your guest would really appreciate cigars? That could help you and FI work things out. I know Cuba is known for cigars but how about candy cigars. Maybe you can create some clever tag that request donations to the cancer society etc. Like a play on words. Candy Cigars

Welcome and congratulations Karen!

I love the colors. I would try to make the date stand out a little more.

I've seen where some had to pay $5 per person to transport their group to Jellyfish and some said its free. Just want to know what it is now. I have been communicating with the restaurant, but I usually have so many questions, I forget that one. Also I found out they only accept cash. :-( I don't like carring that much cash when traveling and ATMs usually have a limit.

Hang in there!! I know the pain of living with no health insurance or under insured both suck!

I like both ideas! The thought is so sweet...I'm sure she would love both. Oh do the pamper..dress up girlie stuff that we all live for. :-) Have a spa day with her "kids mani/pedi" my 5 year old niece loves that!! Engage her in the vows and have a nice dinner (of course restaurant of her choice). Enjoy and please let us know what you decided to do.

The prices some vendors quote for a wedding versus a private function may vary. So I rarely mention wedding...if I can help it.

I've been searching for bridesmaid dresses. This is harder than I imaged, especially with women with various shapes. The other challenge is finding my colors...as popular as the peacock colors are I am finding more purple - instead of blue. pink instead of red. and aqua instead of turquoise. To add to the challenge since we are paying for the wedding party attire and I am a budget bride I am trying to find something elegant, yet cool and appealing to different shapes. Here are some online finds...Your suggestions appreciated. http://www.keepmeinstitches.biz/7065JN.jpg http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/Spie..._027?$216x270$ Newport-News.com keepmeinstitches.biz

Thanks! I plan to send them out as people book. I will send a passport cover and luggage tags. I am so excited and waiting on luggage tags. Personalized Expressions Collection Luggage Tag Favors I've been a bit lazy with my DIY projects. But I really do have some true DIY projects in the making! :-)

More information for the Wedding Boat. By the way, Flori is very QUICK with her and very helpful!!! Wedding Punta Cana. The best Wedding in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. La Barcaza * Information of “La Barcaza Restaurantâ€: * Boat: “La Barcaza " has a capacity of 100 persons, and is the only boat with exclusivity in exits at the night time. La Barcaza has a measure of 64 feet of length and 30 feet of width. We have two floors. The first floor is designed with a protective tent for rain and Sun. There are also located the bathrooms, the bar, the kitchen, and a big lounge to dance or in case of a buffet the tables could be organized. The second floor is uncovered, designed for those who want to enjoy the sun or admire the stars in a chill out environment in comfortable seats. In the second floor you can also find the Captain’s cabin. When the night comes, the boat is totally equipped with lights that work with an electrical generator. We inform the client that it takes approximately 30 minutes of travelling from the hotel to the boat, which means that the transportation estimated (going and return) could be 1 hour. * Transport: is our commitment to guarantee the best service to our customers, that’s why we work with an exclusive executive transportation service, in mint condition, totally responsible, punctual, which gives us a the best service. We pick up the clients in the reception of the hotel at the previously established hour, from where the bus is going to take them up to the "Jellyfish beach" where “La Barcaza†is just in the front waiting for the group. On the beach a small boat with a capacity for 20 persons, with the captain on board and a coordinator will take them to “La Barcaza". Once we finish the trip, the buses will be waiting to return the guests back to the hotel. * Tour: Bavaro's Coast, passing through the Melia hotels, Villas Bavaro and Barceló Hotels, having a stop in the famous and exuberant “Natural Swimming Pool ". * The Natural Swimming pool: Located behind the "Barceló hotelsâ€, a beautiful stop to enjoy an unforgettable landscape, characterized for the calm waters, slightly deep sea (4 feet of height), very safe, without waves, crystalline water, and a plenty diversity of palms and white sand. The perfect place to enjoy a bath and in case of lunch or dinner, the perfect stop to taste an excellent lobster or buffet, accompanied with the best service, our team, music and enjoying this attractive place. We'll have a stop of approximately 1 hour or 1 hour and a half in the “Natural Swimming pool “depending of the selected shift, and then we return doing the same tour. * Food and Services: We offer 5 different menus (see the attachment), starting with a light snack and the option of our menus. * Hygiene and first aids: We are equipped with all the requirements for first aids and fulfilling the higher hygiene standards.

Well, after looking at the menu prices for a private reception at the resort, I started considering other options. Thanks to the BDW Family...I have so many options and leads!! Jellyfish Resturant is also on my list...just trying to decide between Jellyfish and La Barcaza. Since I love my BDW Family so much, I wanted to post the information I was able to get to help with any decisions you will need. I'm sure over time/season and etc. The prices I have attached may change. I haven't made my final decision on which one I plan to use...but the time is running short! :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47JeLuF8lj8 -Flori- Groups and wedding's coordinator of “La Barcaza†Web Site: www.weddingboatpuntacana.com Additional info: Wedding Boat La Barcaza Punta Cana | Punta Cana | Dominican Republic Forum: http://debsdrtravels.proboards47.com/index.cgi?board=wedding&action=display&thread=6083 &page=4 Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47JeLuF8lj8

So far my biggest stressor is attire for myself and the wedding party. FI and I decided to purchase attire for party since the have to travel so far....and its killing my budget. What I budgeted for is not what I am finding. :-( So I keep holding out for a sale! :-) But thanks to BDW I learned of the $99 linen suits! yay!! Now what am I going to do for the women. I guess I'll stroll Macy's and etc. see what I stumble across.
