As far as hair goes, I'm still leaning toward the 1/2 up 1/2 down as I also hate how I look in pictures with my hair all the way up. I will definitely enjoy myself and will be thinking of you girls and taking as many notes as I can on everything so that my review is thorough and detailed. I LOVE YOU ALL, MY IBEROSTAR GALS!!! Thanks again for all of your info and support on this thread, it's been so helpful!!

Hi! I'm so excited for you!! I can't believe how fast time is flying! I can't wait to hear all about your trip & the wedding. Good luck next week, congratulations and have fun

It's coming up very quickly. I have to get my last wedding details sheet into the WC soon and I haven't decided on anything! I've deteremined that I would suck at planning a big traditional wedding ... LOL

Ok, I have a random question for you. I work in the travel industry and have been offered to stay at the Iberostar Grand free of charge. I'm super excited and grateful, but the only problem is that all our guests are staying at the Paraiso Beach. While I want to stay at the same place as our guests, I also feel like staying at the Grand would be a rare opportunity to stay at such a luxurious resort. We would not ordinarily be able to afford such a nice resort. We're not honeymooning after the wedding. We decided to do a cruise in Europe on our 1 year anniversary so we can have a year to try to save up some money. Does anyone know how far the Grand and Beach are from each other? Is there a shuttle that takes you between the different hotels? I haven't asked yet, but I'm sure they would be able to get us a free room at the Beach, but if it's not a big deal to get to the Beach from the Grand, then I'd love to stay at the Grand. What do you guys think?

What if you stayed at the Beach up until your wedding and then went and stayed at the Grand for your wedding night and the rest of your vacation? That's what FI and I are thinking of doing.

I thought about that, but we're only staying 1 night after the wedding, so it may not be worth it to pack up all our stuff for 2 nights. Plus, the day of the wedding, we're going to be getting ready at the Beach and I'm not sure if I'll have time to pack up our stuff on the actual wedding day, ya know?

The Beach and the Grand are pretty much on opposite ends of the resort. However, if you are a guest at the Grand you can ask your butler for a ride to any of the hotels and they will take you there on the golf cart and you just call to be picked up when you're done. If you have the opportunity to stay at the Grand for free you should totally take advantage of it. My husband and I stayed there after our wedding and loved it!
