There finally done! I won't sugar coat anything - Anyone that is thinking about making these.. They definately are a labour of love and ALOT of work!

They hit the mailboxes next week First Off : The Tools #2) The FRONT of the TICKET JACKET ( also shows the back of the mailing envelopes ) #3) The BACK of the TICKET JACKET For some reason I cant keep posting pictures..

Sandra told me she was away at the beginning of January.. Maybe she has already left and the "groups" email is her auto responce so any emails that get sent to her get dealt with while shes away? Quote: Originally Posted by MNtoMX I initially communicated with Sandra in the wedding department. She told me she would help me and to contact her closer to the day.

We do not want to pay extra. I have not responded yet as she emailed me a form to complete with everyone's room reservation numbers and I just received it back from our TA

Does anyone know regarding hiring DJ MANNIA I know you have to pay for day passes for him and his assistant $90 per person? (so $180) But does the resort wave the outside vender fee or is there an additional $300 fee on top of Dj Mannias fee and the day passes? Thanks Ladies

I see it says not to reply until after your wedding.. Will you still be looking for people come January 2013? Id love to help Im anxiously already waiting to get my date secured so I can make public and share my handmade "will you be my bridesmaid cards", "save the date magnets" & Boarding pass Invitations and any other Do it yourself missions I deside to try my hand at Im excited to get everyones opinion Anyways... sorry for the ramble! LOL As I said if you are still looking for people in a year im glad to help

Have you considered a small legal wedding at home involving your grandparents then a "symbolic wedding" down south? I keep reading about people having symbolic weddings downsouth which you have to be legally married and show your certificate before being allowed a symbollic wedding here. Its also a cheaper package then a legal one I believe ( it is at my resort ) Then your grandparents get to see you married but you also get the DW with anyone whom can attend and say I do in paradise .. Ive heard of a few brides that married legally at home but didnt tell any of their guests so everyone down south assumed they were just getting married at the resort I hear the wedding coordinator preforms symbolic weddings BTW.. Your do it yourself items are AWESOME! Great Job!

Thank you I love DR.. We're Looking into Punta Cana. Im from Ottawa Ontario how about you? What all planning wise have you already been doing? And where abouts and when are you planning your wedding?

Hello I am also awaiting booking this January for the following January/Febuary 2013! I can't wait to have a date secured and get things rolling! Congrats and happy Planning Everyone!!!

Hi Ladies! Does anyone have any information on the RESORT DJ? ... I can't find any information except under "additional fees" that the Resort DJ is $600 for 3 hours... Anyone had this DJ or Seen Reviews Or Know where to look up information? I find It weird I havent seen a review or anything

Hoping this thread hasnt been done already - If so I can't find it.... After viewing resort pricing for fresh flowers Id like to look into real touch or silk. I cant justify $65 a bouquet when the girls will only hold them for 15 minutes and dont get to keep them lol ( I have 6 bridesmaids ) so the price adds up! I realize real touch is also expencive but was hoping this thread could be used for people to post where they are getting their bridesmaid bouquets from and pricing.. So people can find the best deals to suit their needs *Online Venders with good pricing OR *Do-It-Yourself ( links to sites with good pricing for flowers and or good DIY instructions?) OR *Destination Brides looking to sell your bouquets after wedding? Just an Idea - I thought It would be good to see everyones point of view on the best route get input and find out other peoples choices and Ideas on the subject Thanks Ladies & Happy Planning

Thank you for your input Tori!

Random question. I've read about alot of brides that go to schedule the time for their wedding and have to settle for specific times during the day for their ceremony ( what ever is left available ) if they didnt book right away. My question would be.. In Dominican Republic, Punta cana Late January ( im not sure if the time of year or location actually matters or makes a difference ) what times of the day are the best for booking your ceremony? Like What are the first hours to get booked when people are scheduling their weddings? I assume it wouldnt be the middle of the day with the high heat but for someone who books a year in advance if alot of times are still available what hour in the day would you all suggest to be ideal and or hoping to get? Random question lol yes I know, I just have no idea what part of the day is best and will be booking a year in advance so if i have options on timing id like to have a better educated choice of what times of the day would be better. Anyones input is greatly appreciated! Thanks All!
