Jenn, have you confirmed your date??.. My FI and I are getting married May 29th, 2013 at ME.. )

Ahh.. okay. Thanks for sharing!.. Our only two options were 12 or 6:00 for the date we chose, so of course we went for 6:00. I read the sun begins to set at 7:05 and the restaurant opens around 6:30 so I'm hoping this will be perfect! )

Do you have a picture of what you're looking for?

I'm glad your bank took care of it for you! And I'm glad you received your items.. I actually haven't ordered from them yet.. but I hope I don't have the same issue that you did.. :-/

Ahh.. that's a good idea!!.. I don't want to make over 200 passport invited though... lol.. We are just inviting our close family and friends to the DW to keep it more personal and simple.. And then invited everyone to the AHR so that they feel included. Because of course we want to able able to see everyone at the AHR.

CherieY.... you are the BEST!!!! )

Thank you very much!!.. I'll check that link out!.. I just requested a quote from CE, and they responded almost immediately!.. Huge plus in my book!..

Sent an email requesting prices and they sent them to me almost immediately!!.. This is a major plus in my book!!.. Glad to see Caribbean Emotions is a vendor on our site and seem to have great reviews!!! )

PuntaBride... Can't wait to see what you come up with!! ) Balibride... Thank You! I made them all the same.. I started to write something personal to each but I loved this one so much I figured all the girls would love it and get a laugh as well.. It's soo me..

Thanks for this great post!!!.. It answered a lot of questions I had!!.. Did anyone include on their DW invitation that they would have an AHR? Or should you keep them totally seperate? I live in AL, FI lives in GA and since I will be moving to GA once we are married I am thinking we should do an AHR in GA no more than 1 month after we return. Possible our 1 month anniversary since it will be on a Saturday (inviting everyone) and doing dancing, appetizers, drinks, have photos out from the wedding, thumb print tree for everyone to sign and a wedding cake for everyone.

YAY!!!.. Congrats!!!.... Ummm.. I started buying a few months ago... :-/ I got a little excited.. lol If you want to see what I have purchased so far, you can go to my profile and then view my pics.. that makes it much easier than searching through forums for pics.

I just noticed my spelling error in my subject line... sorry about that.. Forgive me for a Monday.. Also, we just found Caribbean Emotions, their photos look amazing and some are funny, which I like. Does anyone have experience with them? Or plan to use them?

Good Morning Everyone, Now that my Fiance and I have decided on the Majestic Elegance in Punta Cana on May 29th, 2013. We are wondering what photographer to use. My FI wasn't too impressed with the photos he saw from the resort photog.. And we have heard and seen great things by Phil Steingard, I guess we will have to check to see if here will be there the day of our wedding, and find his prices.. (if anyone has his prices, would love to see, also would love to see more sample pics) You can post them here or email them to me at [email protected] To all the past and future PC brides... Who did you or do you plan to use?.. Thanks!!

Thanks Jenny!.. I will try looking there. )

Thanks for sharing!!.. this idea is way better than what I had in mind!!! ) I bought the same chapsticks.!!. only I found some they had on special, 3 for $1.. Soo glad I lucked up!! What size did you use for your template? I don't have my chapstick sample at work with me today.. (

Love the concept of this post! But wish there were more pictures... You ladies that did share your pics... Thanks for the inspiration!! And for sharing!! ) And thanks for the questions and answers all you other ladies!! )

Thanks for sharing!!.. I'll have to make a trip to Staples soon! )

Here's where I got mine.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/130589832061?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 40 for less than $25. Some ladies even offered less and they accepted. I received them very fast and the quality is much better than I expected.

I 2nd that!.. I could see set up fee's and fee's for waiters but paying per person for food and all makes no sense at all. How many people are yall expecting to come? We are thinking just our immediate family and close friends which will probably be no more than 30. My FI's mom and step-mom said we should do the AHR since many of the extended family members wont be able to travel. Plus I didn't think it would be much fun to have a reception in PC since I dont see our close family members dancing and all.. lol I'm sooo glad they have entertainment there... But barf??!!! EWWW.... God, I hope not!!.. I read some reviews talking about how fun it was.. but seeing how there are a ton of ladies getting married at ME and MC I'm sure we'll get plenty of current reviews from our BDW brides. )

YAY!!!!... ) We are doing 6:00 at the Gazebo.. ) We are doing symbolic since civil seems to be a hassle per the resort and our TA.

Thanks for the break down ladies!!.. Glad to know we can have something like that for 5!! ) Sooo relieved!.. Didn't think of a hotel ballroom, I will def look into that!! Thanks!!

We are getting married in Punta Cana on May 29th! ) What resort are yall staying at?

I 2nd that on not knowing how many will come.. I wish we could send out RSVPs now and people respond.. lol.. Seems like it would make all the planning much easier. I say decide on the resort yall like the most! Which one has the better ceremony sites (the one that has you preferred date and time available) And then consider which one your guests will like better as far as restaurant option, ammenties, entertainment, etc... Once you get that down, I think it will seem to get easier, and the most stressfull part will be done. ) We changed our minds once on our resort, even destination as you know. So I'm set on our choice and I refuse to look at others because I don't want to have the stress of trying to decide. Just know whatever you decide it will be a great experience for you and your guests! Once you get your confirmed number it will also help you determine dinner options to see if and where you need to cut corners for your budget.

With it being all-inclusive I dont see the sense in paying for what you can bascially get for free.. What your paying for really is the privacy. But my guests are mostly family and wont mind. So we are going to opt for the free dinner, this will save a ton of money in the long run. And I will take my own linen napkins in our colors, pink and orange, and maybe add some chair sashes to make it more "wedding dinnery" to set it apart from the other tables. They say they put one long table together or two rows based on guest numbers, I like this option much better than round tables so everyone can sit together. Plus our family is demanding at AHR for those that wont be able to travel.. So once we get back we will do music, dancing, appies, and drinks (not a sit down dinner, or at least that's my thoughts so far) and make it like a huge wedding shower/reception) As far as entertainment after dinner I see they have entertainment every hour and also the disco at 11.

Awwww... ( I know.. I loved, LOVED the bahamas.. Especially the CLoisters!! But after hearing family and friends complain soo much I just couldn't take it any more.. ( But the Majestic Elegance is soooo beautiful and all-inclusive so we can afford to do an AHR that we didn't think we were going to be able to do. But I can live my Bahama dreams through you!! ;o) We def promised each other we would visit Atlantis and the Bahamas soon. )
