Married or going to be married at Grand Palladium Punta Cana?

OMG Tracy, we have similar things outstanding.
I have to:
- find hairstyle pics
- want to have my hair highlighted before I go too
- burn cd of ceremony music and another cd of beach party songs that I would like in case the DJ doesn't have them
- pay my TA/Wedding Planner here. She is on vacation so I haven't seen her
- Take out some US funds and get tip envelopes or payment envelopes ready
- You mention you are choosing the menu... I wanted to design a menu but thought we had to wait until we get there to choose the food. have you heard differently?
- finish name tags on favour boxes
- wrap the wedding party gifts. we organized a dinner here at home this weekend so we won't have to cart steins, etc. there. I bought the girls sea glass jewelery for the wedding day and the guys are getting steins and zippo lighter sets (2 smoke). The ring bearer is getting a t-shirt and a dog tag necklace with his name and our wedding date on it
- finish making t-shirts for the groomsmen (they are going deep sea fishing and I am making t-shirts)
- purchase tank tops for the girls (I am ironing on the rhinestone bridesmaid decals)
- go through summer clothes and decide what to bring and what I need besides and bathing suit
- find a veil! My new mom in law wants to buy it. I might get a short one but not sure because I don't even know what I am doing with my hair

And the list goes on and on!!! Am in the middle of doing a welcome book, seating chart and a Program! We don't think we are doing the sand ceremony. Might do a seashell ceremony where the guests get a shell to make a wish for us. We shall see. Are you doing the sand ceremony?

Talk to you later!!!

Wow! those are great lists -- I love lists though.

 

Carribbeanlover - what is a romper? And I am going the teeth whitening also -- I wasn't sure when to do it though...what kind are you doing? Or are you going somewhere to get it done?

Are your flight times 100% determined? Ours aren't -- so that is holding me up a bit, we have FI's family who live in Quebec flying out of Toronto with us, and as of now we have a 6:20am flight time -- sooo we'll have to figure out what we're doing the night before.

 

Also -- how are you doing the programs? I want to do that, but I thought that some information (i.e. beach party time - and menu) weren't to be known until we get there. I would love to hear what you're doing!!

For the Beach Party reception, what's the per person cost and what's included? I'm thinking about doing that for a welcome party.

 

Thanks!

things are going good I'm really anxious to plan all the rest once we are down there

It's 9/person for 3 hours I believe. The cost is for the bartender to be there...and Carolina says it includes decoration of the area and tables/chairs

Hi, I just got an answer back from my wedding planner, and they can do 2 beach party now since the beach is so big, so one party at each extremety so we should be fine the both of us
my wedding is at 4pm, what are your colors are you getting married in the new gazebo or on the beach
we are going with the new gazebo and my color is fushia

Does that include food and drinks too?

It does not include food -- most of us are having the beach party after the reception where we will have food.

 

The 9/person does include drinks (and the bartender).

Okay cool, is there a "light fare" option? Is the beach party near any restaurants in case guests get hungry?

We are thinking the beach, depending on whether it is too windy or not we would then move to the gazebo; although photos I have seen of this, it looks like guests are far back... most likely we will be on the beach... my colors are spa blue (turquoise) and tan. I have a hair apt at noon, maybe Ill see you at the spa on that day- we can toast with a glass of champagne... do you still have alot to plan out?
