[Shelley123]

Hi ladies, I am having a Jan 2013 wedding an I was interested in the palace Punta Cana as well as the new palace Bavaro but having a hard time getting prices. If anyone has the package prices and extras and would be able to send it to me that would be greatly appreciated, my email is shelleyfarrell28@ hotmail.com. Also I will have over 40 people but wondering the cost for addition person over the amount in the packages and if they do private functions and cocktail hours. I I have 3 hotels in mind right now (oceans, rid and Barcelo) just need costs for wedding and guests before I can finalize. Thank you for your help.

Hi Kristen,

 

I finally nailed down our centerpeices and my bouquet. I'm still trying to get a quote for my bridesmaids bouquets. We have a very large wedding party so I'm trying to stay around $30/bouquet for the BM's. I have to get the menu set. They have been working on a new menu for the steakhouse and they keep saying it will be done soon so hopefully I'll get that soon! I've decided on music for the ceremony. However, I have no idea if I'm supposed to bring an ipod or a CD. Also, I have to purchase a few more things for our welcome bags and gifts for our wedding party.

 

I really wanted to do a welcome night on the Thursday before the wedding but didn't want to pay for anything private considering this wedding is costing so much more than we had thought lol... so I asked Maria if she had a recommodations of a bar on the resort we could all meet at.

 

When is your wedding?

Anyone find cheap beach bags anywhere?

I've been waiting and stalking the dollar tree website for the famous dollar tree totes to come out in season.  I'm thinking and hoping they'll be coming out soon.  I check almost every day lol http://www.dollartree.com/big-polyester-beach-totes/p310914/index.pro

Do we need a converter for the electric socket in punta Cana?

When i went there last year I did not need one.

 

What are all you ladies doing, did you book a regular room and hope they have the availability to upgrade you to the suite or did you just book the suite?
