Congratulations on your engagement! My fiancé and I actually got engaged on the Skywheel at Niagara Falls in October 2013!

Hi All, How different should the MOH, BMs and Bride's flowers be? I am going to order silk flowers and am leaning towards these ones: The MOH bouquet is larger than the BMs, but should they be different from mine? (The bridal bouquet is the one in the picture with the boutonnieres). My girls are wearing royal blue, so I was thinking of them just having the yellow and white flowers, that way mine would stand out a little more. I have seen pictures where the BMs flowers are much different than the brides and it looks nice, but it also looks nice to have them all the same. I'm confused now! Any help or advice would be appreciated!

March 6, 2015 at Dreams Palm Beach Punta Cana! Just under 5 months out!

Hi Ladies, I'm having trouble trying to decide on when to get hair and make up done on the big day. My ceremony is at 4:00pm. I just don't want to get it done too early or late! I was thinking of getting started at noon but now I'm thinking that probably won't be enough time. I'm not sure if I am getting it done at the resort or bringing someone in to do it, but there will be six people getting their hair and/or make up done (me, 3 BM, mother and MIL). I'm planning on paying for it myself as part of a gift to my BMs. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

I ended up finding a store in my town that sells them but decided against the convertible dress for my BMs. Two of BMs are on the larger size, while one is stick thin and I felt it didn't look good on everyone, so I went with a dress from David's Bridal instead. Since the dress was so stretchy it didn't flatter everyone the way I had hoped. I will probably order this dress for me at some point!!

Congrats! From what I have heard the wedding coordinators answer email by date of the wedding, so the further out it is the longer it will take to reply. Once your date gets closer they seem to be very good at answering quickly! Everyone is quick to respond to questions and its an easy way to share information or get questions answered quickly. It's a closed group but you will be added if you join. Just search Dreams Palm Beach Brides, or something like that and I'm sure it will come up!

Hi Everyone, I am in the process of mailing our invitations out right now but am having a dilemma with addressing the invitations. We are allowing our few single friends to invite a guest with them to keep costs down, but I'm not sure how to address the envelopes. Do I simply put "Jane Do and Guest" on the envelope, or should I include a little note inside the invitation? I just don't want it to feel too impersonal when they receive it, but I want them to know that they can invite a date or friend or whatever to go with them. We aren't doing RSVP cards or anything (we are using being booking as our RSVP), so that isn't an option unless I make a few RSVP cards for our single friends but I really don't want to do that at this point. How did everyone else deal with this? Thanks!

I am getting married at Dreams Palm Beach in Punta Cana. Dreams, Secrets and NOW resorts are all with AM, but I know that Secrets are one of the more expensive ones, so be aware of that if you were hoping to keep it on the cheaper end for your guests.

We are probably just going to do a photo book of some of our wedding pictures for our parents. We figure that is something they would like to have!

Very cute! Great job!!

The first one!

I think sending a save the date with a rough date then invitations later on is a good idea. At least this way people will start thinking and planning for the wedding, rather than having to make a quick decision if they can come or not once the prices are out. Hope that helps!

The fabric is pretty thin and also is quite "clingy". I have a convertible dress for myself and I love it, but you would definitely need to see it on your BMs before you decide on it. I went with this dress from David's bridal: I looked good on everyone!

I really wanted these dresses for my BM but they just didn't look right. My MOH is stick thin and my other two BMs are bigger and I found they just didn't sit right on all of them so I opted for something different.

Those are gorgeous! I bet your guests will be very impressed!

Hi All, I am currently in the last stages of planning our invitations (passports), but am stuck on the RSVP part. We are going to get people to RSVP on our website, and give out a card for our elderly guests who don't use the internet. I'm stuck on how to word the RSVP as to make it clear how many people are invited to our wedding. We will be addressing the invitations to the people invite, but I feel like if we put the ____# of guests attending part on the RSVP that people might think that they can invite extra people? Is that I thing, or am I just paranoid about guests inviting other people without us knowing?! Thanks!

You invitations are amazing! What font did you use? I'm just starting to make my invitations now and I can't decide which fonts to use!

I am doing both! We will be sending RSVP cards in the mail for our older or non computer savvy guests and will use online RSVP for the rest of our guests.

I am getting married there in March. I have all that info, but not an up to date price list. I can PM that to you. There is also a Facebook page for Dreams Palm Beach that has been very helpful! Happy Planning!

That is so cute! love it!

What about some help tips about travel, the resort etc?
