No worries, I found the template in the earlier post......

Nice planning thread! Do you mind sharing your newsletter template???

@ vlynnw - nice brochure! Would you mind shring your Publisher file????

I Michael's! Thanks for sharing, I'm taking a trip this week.

20 is a good number. I invited around 50 and have 35 coming. Yep, B-more is a hop, skip and jump from Laurel. Funny - my BFF lives is Woodbridge! I'll let you know how the program works in a few weeks...

@JessicaP2012 - I too loved the map idea and did a search for it. See the link below... http://cgi.ebay.com/Dominican-Republic-Road-Map-Sheets-1-2-11-x-12-/350334234235?pt=Art_Posters&hash=item51918c2e7b#ht_731wt_689

I'll keep you posted on my thoughts once I get the program and try it out... May wedding!?!? Your day is fast approaching! How's your wedding planning coming along? How many guests are you expecting? I'm in Laurel, MD. What part of VA are you in???

Hi Ladies, So I haven't seen a thread on Body Gospel's workout program so I decided to start one... I just purchased the program and will be starting it when it arrives. I'm not a big workout person so I didn't want an extreme workout plan to begin with. Below is a link to the program: http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/body-gospel.do Let me know if anyone is doing the program or if anyone wishes to start and we can form a support group! April marks the 6 month mark to my October wedding. My goal is to lose 30 lbs. Ready, Set, Go!!!

@ gowiththeflow - can you give the websites for Chic Concepts and Mar Weddings? I'm interested in looking at their services..... Thanks!!!

@ GingerBluePetal - thanks again for the info. The representative was extremly nice and will be sending me several brochures to include in my OOT bags. Just for your records, the 212 number you listed is no longer in service but I was able to get through on the toll free line. If anyone else is interested in requesting brochures, you need to send a request vial email to [email protected] and include your name, address, phone number and number of brochures needed and the Dominican Tourism Board will assist you.

Hi Ladies - the boxes have been counted for. If the sale falls through, I'll let you know...

@ Natalie7 - thanks for the info. I think I'll pass on doing the group booking myself because I don't want to incur any additional charges. I'll let my travel agent handle that. Thanks again!!

@ Aphrodite - we are going with a simple design with a palm tree and the Punta Cana writing. See posts 2, 6 and 42 for samples. Summafool1 is heading this order so she'll have to give you pricing info. Hope this helps...

How did you go about getting your group rate? Did you do it yourself or did you use a travel agent? Can you let me know the process??? Thanks!!!

I'm taking one extra suitcase that I will check with all my OTHER stuff. So my OOT bags, favors, etc will be in there...

Anyone else interested in cups??? We're left with 50 at .95 per cup...

Thanks for the info....

Hi All, I seen several threads where fellow BDWers have gotten travel brochures from their countries tourism. I’ve done a search for Dominican Republic but no luck. Anyone know where I can obtain travel brochures to include in my OOT for Dominican Republic??? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! ~ Quiyana

Love, Love, Love these!!!! Do you have a template you can share?

@ @ wnmrtn8 - Nice picture!!! What does the card in the middle of the boxes say????

If I'm not mistaken, they come flat...

@Kim0806 - if you get it can you share??? I'm looking for it too!

Hi ladies, I'm thinking about cake boxes for folks to take left over cake back to their room. I found them in sets of 100 but only need 30-40. Is anyone interested in any??? http://www.brpboxshop.com/619.html The boxes are white with a small plastic window. I plan on putting a small initial monogram sticker I purchased from Michael’s. I got this great idea from Beth, here’s her thread: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/thread/67344/3-14-new-prices-oot-bags-luggage-tags-real-touch-flowers-raffia-fans-cake-jewelry-place-settings-candle-holders-message-in-a-bottle-stuff-more Let me know if anyone is interested in a group order…..

It's so frustrating! I just don't want my guests to be put in a financial bind! They've already paid about $400 for the rooms. Now another $800+.... I'm just hoping these rates drop really soon!!!

Im getting married at Riu Palace Punta Cana in October. My group travel has been broken into two parts: room and flight. All rooms cost have been paid. We are now working on the flights. I'm getting really concerned as I've seen flights are starting in the 900s. This is a little pricy as we have told our group to budget $500ish on the flights from MD. My travel agent has been searching since Jan and flights are still pretty high... Anyone else experiencing this same fear???
