Does anyone have an updated price list for available upgrades?

So what do you guys think about inviting your TA to the wedding? My TA is my sister's friend's long time boyfriend. My sister isn't super close to this girl but they have known each other since high school. Let's just say if this was a hometown wedding I won't be inviting them. However, The TA has been great and he travels all the time...I think they probably get free stuff or whatever. So anyways our wedding moto has been the more the merrier. So I figured why not as a nice gesture. But I don't want my TA to think I'm weird or rude. I am just trying to say..."hey if you feel like taking a trip to punta cana in April come join our wedding" haha What do you guys think?

O and welcome to the forum!!!

Wow you are so lucky to have that many supporters of your wedding! Did they tell you that you were confirmed for a private reception? They told me they won't confirm until 2 months before the wedding! So annoying! I am probably going to go with the hotel photographer because we have a family friend also taking pictures. I'm in the process of booking DJ Mannia. He is a fan favorite here on the website! Hope that helps! Let me know if they confirm your private reception...which I'm sure they will with that many people! lol Is reception going to be at the steakhouse?

I understand how you are feeling! I got so obsessed with the research that I couldn't make the commitment! But you have to take a week and just tell yourself I got to make the decision! I had it down to 3 places in Punta Cana and I started narrowing it down by...who responded to my emails in a timely manner. What resort gave me the best price and most info. Trust me you need good communication when planning from afar. As for the sea turtles I feel so bad for you but I'm an animal lover and that's so cute!! lol I love that the resort takes it soo seriously! I have been to Riveria Maya a couple times but never during that time so I can't be much help. Did you google it? I would definitely ask other resorts what their policy is. Are you set for a mexico wedding? would you be willing to consider a different location so you can get your date? Hope that helps girl!! O my other advice is starting working on your STDs. This way once you make your decision you can go ahead and order them right away!!! Best of luck! It will all come other soon and its the best feeling ever!!

Thanks! Definitely going to keep it as an option if I get a smaller amount of guests than I'm hoping for. But my resort is an AI so can't beat free if I get all 30-40 guests!!! Thanks for the info

What travel company is offering you guys free airfare for booking a certain number of people? That is AMAZING!!!

O the topic of who to invite...what do you guys think about inviting your TA? My TA is my sister's friend's long time boyfriend. This is not a close friend of my sister but a friend from high school. Lets just say if I had a hometown wedding I probably won't invite them. But the TA has done a great job for us and our moto has been the more the merrier but I don't want my TA to feel obligated. I just want it to be a friendly invite that if they want to come they can. Does this make sense?

WOW this is such a great idea. I would love to hear what kind of price range we are talking about! Thanks girls!!

Sounds amazing!! How did you find it? Best of luck with the rest of your planning!

O stay strong girl!! Men aren't much help anyways!! lol O another note....God Bless your future husband!!!

Where are you getting married? I just went with the photographer the resort recommended...it's so much cheaper! I mean all I really need are like 3 good pictures for my future home! lol Best of luck!

Why do you feel bad for the guests attending the wedding? They are going to have the time of their life!! However we are asking our guests that are able to attend NOT to bring a gift. So I guess I feel bad for them too! lol But I know the wedding is going to be amazing!

I'm so excited I'm in the process of booking DJ Mannia!!!

I am inviting everyone to my shower. I am not having an AHR so the way I see it was. I love everyone, and everyone was invited to the wedding but I understand you can't make the wedding given the destination. So I would expect people to make an attempt to come to my shower. Is that rude of me? lol

I'm torn on what to do b/c my mom insists that none of her friends are coming but I think we should still send them invitations. You never know. right?

April 20, 2012 RIU Palace Punta Cana!! I can't wait! STDs go out this week!!

I'm still trying to make my decision! I love colors! I feel like my wedding will look like a rainbow lol

Love!

I love Vista! Everything looks amazing!!

OMG glad I'm not the only one! I just get so overwhelmed by how together and organized everyone else is that I feel frustrated and disappointed with myself. Glad others feel the same! Keep your eye on the prize girls! The final product of all this work is that you will be MARRIED!!!

I am just so impressed with everyones skills! I wish I was creative! lol

Love them all! You are so sweet for helping everyone!!

Just to clarify we were blocking off rooms through the TA ...our rate includes, airfare, transportation and room. I just don't understand why our contract says deposit non-refundable :-(

Was anyone else told you can only confirm a private reception 2 months before your wedding? Does that make any sense? I mean I understand first come first serve or based on availability. But I want the confirmation so I can go ahead and book a DJ!! What did everyone else do? Just book the DJ and hope for the best???
