Great work. The metallic was totally worth it. Your ceremony is at 8am?? None of my guests will be up that early in punta Cana I'm sure of it! Lol

Great job!

Great post. I was also thinking of Dyi'ing these but my list is getting so long I wonder if it's a worthwhile project. I'm also thinking we don't need the program for such a short ceremony. Think the fans are out for now!

Wow! Great find!

Sent you a pm!

Hi PPC ladies. I had posted the PPC website to my wedding website so that guests could check it out prior to booking http://www.paradisuspuntacana.travel/ In the last few days the site has gone down and says it is expired. Anyone else had the same issue? Any suggestions of what to change it to on my wedding website? even the site with the photos on it is expired. Not good. Hope this doesnt have anything to do with the status of the hotel? I am going to email Theresa but thought I would check in here as you girls usually respond faster than the WC

Hey Tori or others. I went to some dollartrees in wisconsin but could not find ANY of the totes that everyone loves so much. Anyone seen them lately or are they no longer available? I am in toronto, so maybe I should try Buffalo? I would hate to go all they way there and be unsuccessful.

so cute! but not my size. I am sure you will find a new owner quickly! Just out of curiosity, where did you buy this dress?

Hi Girls, I am not sure how this works, but my travel dates are April 17th -May 1st 2012. I live in Toronto, Ontario Canada I would love to have one of the travelling starfish join me! I will look back at the history to see who I should message? is that how this works? Holly

Hi Megan! I would also love a copy of the map! Can you email it to me? I will PM you.

Haha Cortney I just realized you had already replied to my on the previous page! Yay April 2012 brides! Holly

Our date is April 20th 2012! Maybe we'll see you around the resort! Holly

For the last few years we have always said our first dance would be to "everything" by micheal Buble. However when I heard "God bless the broken road" by Rascal Flatts, I am torn!! We are definitely not country fans, but the lyrics just seem to fit, and it gives me goosebumps and I tear up. Not sure what to do. I think we need to sit down and listen to the lyrics together, maybe even dance to them to see how it feels?... Those of you who had trouble choosing, how did you decide? Any suggestions?

Hey Sherio, I am having the same problem with my fiance. However I told him that I want our guests to feel appreciated and to know that we are thrilled that they joined us. Its so expensive for them to travel with us AND we are saving quite a bit in a number of other ways that I have cut costs on our wedding. We are planning some other things like fun theme nights and a flip cup tournament as well. Maybe you could get him involved in that? I also showed him some of the threads like this one that highlight the things you can put in the bags and the final product. Also that I am keeping a list of the items our guests would like and we will go through them together before I start making too many purchases, so we can ensure we can get everything down there.

Oh! could you send me this template? The first image is the one we used for our STD postcards! Thanks! Really enjoying your DIY updates. can't wait to have an idea of numbers so I can start this process

I love these. I actually ordered the wooden dolls from Etsy seller swell goods (for about $3) and I am going to try to DIY these

Tori, You are totally amazing!! thanks for all of the detail. I am taking your whole list with me as we are taking a driving vacation down through Chicago and Wisconsin and I had planned to shop for OOT supplies while in the US. Thanks for helping a fellow Canuck Huge thank you! (My FH probably doesnt thank you for all the stops we will be making and the amount of stuff I will be hauling back) heehee ps green and navy is a great combination, looks so chic and nautical. I chose royal blue and white with hints of lime, sunshine yellow and fuschia pink!

Finally sent out our STD's yesterday! Let the booking begin We lucked out since a good friend is a graphic designer and does wedding invitations on the side (www.marsdesign.ca). She really allowed me to participate in the process and it was actually really fun to work on with such and expert. I give her vague ideas and she makes it happen like magic! Here is the final product:

These are such a cute whimsical idea! I have seen these as hanging decorations but not as centerpeices. I might try my hand at making these for the AHR or the next shower I host. thanks!

cant wait til I can start downloading files!! thanks for the attachments ladies

these are gorgeous!! great job!

Oh what a good idea!! I had wanted to incorporate messages in a bottle but figured it was too big of an undertaking for all of the invites! Very smart to do it for bridesmaids! wish I had seen it sooner, since I already invited them with a cute card. nice work!

Hey Ladies!! Finally we are confirmed at Paradisus Punta Cana for our wedding on the beach (chose the a la carte option for now until I know how many guests I will have) for April 20th 2012! We are holding our reception with dinner on La Barcaza for a private sunset cruise and then we'll head to the nightclub on the resort to boogie and celebrate!! Working with a great friend who is a graphic designer for our postcard Save the dates, will share an image of those soon! At the same time I have been working on a wedding website with weddingwire.com where all of the wedding and travel details will be posted. We got group rates from our travel agent that we are happy with, so we will be putting our deposits down next week and then start spreading the word amongst family and friends. Its getting really exciting now that its all coming together! NOW I can get down into my DIY projects (I have lists miles long of all the things I would like to do, thanks to BDW)! YAY! Holly

OK so we are officially booked. wooooohoooo! Our wedding date is April 20, 2012 at Paradisus Punta Cana. We will be having the reception on La Barcaza (the wedding boat) that evening. SO excited! let the DIY begin!

Hi Jen! I am interested in the throwies, and the royal blue lanterns and the royal blue chair sashes. how much for these items. My postal code is M4C4K6 or if you are in the GTA I could pick up? Thanks! Holly
