Great informative information. Everything looked wonderful!

Right back at ya Ashley!! My TA went to see "lupita" a month ago, and said she was pregnant, and overworked. I actually thought about switching locations b/c of this, and didn't....I figured she or her replacement could work out the "bugs" between May and June. That was my thinking at least...and I have great girlfriends that will make "whatever" happen if it isn't taken care of when we need to when we get there.

Great information!!

I agree there are tons of resorts in your price range, always search for specials too... ie: AAA or some group rates....I found a room $500 lower for a week than my TA, b/c I searched for this type of stuff....

glad to hear about other mom's dresses, my mom is having trouble finding something to wear....

Welcome, there is tons of stuff here and I'm sure you will find all you need here!!

Good luck!

Hey ladies, I found the aloe at target, and the dollar store also had them. I also have "ring" lipgloss in the girls bags that I found on ebay. I thought it was cute. I am packing all of mine in my luggage, my FH and my maid of honor's bags....I have read horrible things about shipping, and things missing....so, I don't want to risk it. I have them all packed, it was easier, and that way I can relax when I get there vs. work on OOT bags. I am still getting other small items....just going to look around.... it looks like I will be there for one wedding but, while both of you are at the resort. I am getting in on the 3rd and leaving the 10th. Oh, and one more thing...I have been dealing with Guadalupe for my Wedding Coordinator....she is who emails me, and on the phone....just saw you guys had talked to someone else.??

Love the pups, drbrainfreeze!! I have two boxers, and just had to say how cute!!

I agree with Abbie, she said it perfectly! I have been to the DR many times, and everytime it has been more than fabulous! Be a traveler, and enjoy your time there!!

I'm doing out of town bags as well. Went with beach bags, I found from a bride on Craigslist. Similar list.... Spanish for dummies (target $1) Brain Teasers for dummies (target $1) Yankee candle (not in glass) blue ($4 TJMaxx) Bath Salts ($4 TJMAXX) water guns (oriental trading co.) footballs for guys($1 target) single guys bags: Mens face wash and lotion travel size (target$1 each) bamboo fans ($3 handmade locally) first aid kit ($2 target) sunscreen ($1 target) chapstick (3 pack target $3) gardinia sachet (target $1) after sun aloe (target $1) Custom printed M&M's in a silver/clear tin ($2 M&M.com) and I will be doing snacks too as it gets closer.... Hopefully, I'm close to done on those.....

WOW, that is a beautiful dress...I wish I didn't already get mine! GORGEOUS!! Good luck in selling it, I'm sure it will go quickly!

I think funky would be great....search for couture dresses, that will good for funky. Good luck!

So glad to hear the stories and questions I have been having about the Resort are the same as I have had. I also had to put down $800 to secure the date. I am getting married, on the beach Saturday June 6,2009. I would really like to see pictures of the cakes or flower selections if anyone has them. Thanks!

I know a bride that did this, and there were mixed reviews afterwards. She said she did it "to be green"....Some of the older guests said they didn't like it, but the younger were very positive about it. Just thought a little insight on what guests were saying might be helpful. P.S. I'm a big fan of evites...they keep me more organized via Outlook Calender direct links....

Great pictures, you look extremely happy!

Thank you for the link! Great idea for the "guys" OOT bags.

Those look great! I'm going to look at the bags you bought now!

GREAT find! I will be using them!

great stuff, I'm sure you will sell it all soon!

I think trying it on will be the best. Good luck with finding your dress.

I'm sorry to hear as well. I also purchased Good luck!

everyone's posts are very helpful. I am getting married at the Valetin on June 6th. I have put down my deposit, and we have booked our room and air. It is great to see others are getting married there as well, not a ton out there about the resort. If anyone knows about the flower and cake selections, I would love to hear about it. I want to know if there is a wide variety, or just a few pics to choose from? Thanks!

LOVE the aggie garder!! FABULOUS!!
