What to do with wedding guests staying at other hotels?

Glamourina · May 28, 2009

So it looks like a bunch of my wedding guests are finding Paradisus pricey, but they still want to come to the wedding so they're staying at another all inclusive hotel.

The thing is, because of these guest pass/entry fees that all these hotels charge outside guests, I don't know how I'm going to see any of the wedding guests who aren't staying at Paradisus. I feel bad because they're coming all the way to Punta Cana and I don't want to leave them out because they are staying at another hotel, but I really can't afford to pay a $95 guest pass per person every time they want to visit me at Paradisus..

Did/Does anyone else have this problem? Is it really impossible to sneak outside guest inside the hotel? I'm hoping I'm not the only bride who's dealing with this!

You're given a bracelet and that's how you are identified. If they wear long sleeved shirts, I doubt they'll be asked to show,especially if they come from the beach side. Just a thought...

We are in the same situation as you, we are having our wedding at the Palma Real and not everyone can afford it so some of our guests are staying at the NH next door. My fiance wanted to spend time at the same hotel as his friends so we are actually staying at the NH with them for 2 days before the wedding and then moving over to the Palma.

We are going to pay the guest fee for the guests to come over the day of the wedding obviously but I am not concerned about the other days. I am sure going back and forth between the two hotel pools and especially the beaches will not be a problem, the only thing you won't be able to do is eat meals together but even at the buffet they might not notice the bracelets so you might be fine.

I know the ideal is for everyone to stay at the same hotel but it will work out!!!
