Just thought of something else, what is every doing for favors/welcome gifts? I was thinking of getting labels made to put on water bottles and had some other cute ideas but am not sure as whatever I choose to do I will have to bring on the plane with me! Any ideas? Thanks!

I have made a lot of purchases off of Etsy.com. It's hard because shipping down to Punta Cana is expensive and the resort doesn't want items to come too early before your arrival date. I have asked family members for their carry-ons and have packed those!
In my welcome bags are: flip flops (got 80 pairs from Old Navy's $1 sale), advil, pepto, aloe, sunscreen, personalized mugs, wedding timelines, door hangers, granola bars, deck of cards, candy. I have also made seperate bags for the children and tweens.
Check out minimus.biz > I got all the travel-sized sunscreen and individually-wrapped medication there.

Hi Ladies...I know I have to tell you all about my wedding. It was wonderful. I am leaving work and PROMISE by tomorrow to post everything including some great pictures. You all will be amazingly pleased with everything. I PROMISE.

Every year, the hotels upgrade their contracts. I PROMISE YOU. Every bar has premium liquor so don't waste your money. If your rehersal dinner is in the Gabi Club...the bar is right there so you will be fine.

I was told by my wedding planner that you can get premium alcohol at any of the bars in the resort, I want to make sure this is true because if so I don't think it's worth it to upgrade for the reception. I would appreciate any input/advice, thank you!

Keep your welcome bags more simple! Water may be alot to carry and to ship.

That's amazing! Thanks for the tip! Really looking forward to your review and picturees TishaJules! Congratulations!!

Thank you for the advice! If it isn't worth it for the premium bar i'm definitely not going with it, it's so expensive to upgrade! I can't wait to hear about your wedding Tisha!!

 

Also, I know it would be a lot to bring water bottles on the plane with me for my guests, but i'm wondering if I could get them once I arrive and just put my custom label on it? Anyone have experience with this? I'm starting to realize I still have a lot of details to plan and i'm freaking out!

You should ask your Wedding Coordinator if they can provide the water bottles - that would make traveling so much easier. I know you can find awesome labels on Etsy.com to personalize! That would be a great idea!

Don't worry. It hit me when I was 2 months out that I had a lot to do. I just took a couple weekends and put it all together.
I also have a spreadsheet going of all my guests, how many welcome bags, arrival times, etc.

Another helpful tip is that I have put together a "wedding binder" to take down with me. It has all my paid invoices, my romance planner from the resort, and email communication I have had over the year. That way there will be no confusion while I am down there!
