We can't possibly be the only ones... surprised more haven't posted.

Grand Palladium Bavaro Resort & Spa- Punta Cana, DR

Wear a nice bra and panty set. You will have to dress and undress in the dressing room stall but what if you need assistance putting a dress on over your head or zipping one up... Wear undergarments that are presentable to others. (not-judging)

My daughters are in my wedding and we got dresses for them from Macy's department store. Bought them online and love them. Perfect color and fit! And the price was incredible- on sale plus a coupon.

Due to the setting of a dw, your wedding will not be plain at all. It will turn out beautiful.

Planning for your special day seems easy when you get started but there are a lot of small details/decisions that arise along the way. It's not impossible though. Don't get stressed out and remember it's really about becoming a union with your partner. The rest is minor stuff. Congrats & good luck planning, ladies!

That resort is very pretty.

This list will be very helpful. Thanks.

Amazing photos! You did a wedding photo session the day after their wedding?

Wow! $1000 is high. Grand Palladium charges $500 for outside photographer. Luckily 3 photographers are family members with my group.

Jellyfish is very popular. I'm not getting married there but going to try do get there for dinner with the hubby after the wedding day.

I would love to do this and be featured after our wedding!

Thanks!

Thank you. This was helpful.

-_-Wish I had access to see everything!

I thought no deposit was weird too.

I am trying to get there myself! This is a tedious task.

Yayyy for you! lol

@@jayejayelynn How did guests know about your wedding if you didn't send STDs? I think it is a matter of personal preference. I knew I wanted to incorporate a luggage tag, passport, and airline ticket. Therefore, I made & sent STDs that were luggage tag magnets. I sent them 1 year before the wedding date so guests were aware and had plenty of time to prepare & save up money to go. (I smile every time I see them on a friend's refrigerator.) Then I sent passport invitations along with boarding ticket rsvp cards (I made the rsvp's too) 9 months before the date. This still gave people time to lock in a good rate. It's an all inclusive resort. If it is not a burden to your budget, send the std for the sake of being considerate to your guests' planning - taking off work, paying deposits, booking early for better rates. Also I have a best friend who is coming with her husband to my destination wedding. She also received another invitation to a family friend's DW in Jamaica during the same month. She passed on the other person's because she had received my invitation early and had already committed to me. I feel so lucky I sent mine first! Remember, the earlier you send info about your event, the more likely your guests will be able to attend! We have 50 people and counting...

Hi. Do you still have the barefoot sandals, blue gems, and mother of bride button? I'm interested. Please check shipping costs. I will PM my zip code.

Dollar tree has these bags in again.

Please move fwd with planning with your friend. Your mom is hoping your sister will do the right thing but I am highly doubtful & you have no time to wait. # weeks... Trash your sister's list as if you never received it at all. Don't even discuss or bring up the events with her from this point on. Plan your event and invite everyone (including your sister). Don't be petty & evil (Karma). If she doesn't come, Oh well! her loss. If she does, that's fine too. Make sure you plan it exactly the way you want. Remember... no worries! Don't sweat the small stuff, and it's all small stuff.

Good thread! Our children are the only ones in our wedding. All will be participating in the sand ceremony to blend our families. I like the idea of fiance giving the girls a necklace as a gift during the ceremony. Mini vows could be a nice touch but don't want to make the ceremony too long as guests sit in hot sun.

Candy got married to Todd Friday April 4th, 2014. I can't wait to see the wedding special for Candy Burress from Real Housewives of Atlanta. Her mom does not like Todd (or anyone for that matter). And Fantasia was a drunk bridesmaid who gave a profanity laced speech embarrassing and infuriating guests and the couple. Now they share a wedding anniversary with Beyoncé & Jay Z.
