EVKnowsitall - There are a lot of inclusions in the price for your reception back home. I am still trying to figure out where we would do it here where I live. I know that it's hard because we are going from having a big wedding to a very small one, because not everyone can make it to Punta Cana. In the end, you are still doing a reception back home for everyone that couldn't attend, and I'm sure that will be fun! Also, have you thought of doing an After Party? I know that you said you would have liked a big party, maybe it can be continued after the AHR.
