I feel you I am a person that brings a gift to every event! I got engaged in October 2013 and had my save the dates out since Feb of this year with my travel agent info on it. Not one person has put a down payment on there room! Its frustrating! My wedding is May 2, 2015! The crazy part is me and my fiancee is paying for everything on our own no help from family I feel the least the can do is show up. Punta Cana is not expensive
