Those were great! I voted for ya!

Hi DV Brides - We just changed our wedding, with 48 days and counting from the Dominican Republic to Dreams Villamagna! I was a bit apprehensive about this resort but this forum and tripadvisor have put my mind at ease.

We have ten total in our party and we are all pretty easy going and believe that a trip is what you make it. The resort looks absolutely beautiful and seems to have the past kinks worked out.

We are getting married March 17, 2010 - we should all post our dates!

It is great to hear from you brides that have just been there and any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

We are not having a private reception but would like to try and go to one of the restaurants and have dinner together - which restaurant would you suggest for this?

Happy planning and thanks for any reviews or advice!

Those turned out fantastic! I made my OOT bags but didn't get off near as cheap buying the fabric! Nice work!

You could always trim the card down below the big circle and use a standard hole punch to punch a hole and just thread some ribbon through to hand around the door knob - I think I will do mine that way! Good Luck!

Thank you all for your support. We have finally gotten everything changed over and we will be getting Married in Nuevo Vallarta at the Dreams Villamagna! I am not going to worry about it now and I can't wait till March!

Best wishes for all of your weddings - this forum has been a great spot for information and support!

We just moved our wedding from Dreams Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic to Dreams Villamagna due to the unfotunate events in Haiti. There is only 10 in our group but we only have 54 days till we get married and I am freaking out right now! Looking for some reasurance that the Villamagna is going to be great from anyone who has been there.

All of our mugs, OOT bag stuff, AHR invites ect have Punta Cana, DR on them - Oh well I guess we will just have to laugh at that right -

Thanks for the support and letting me vent,

Thanks to all for laying my fears to rest on the earthquake thing. My heart and prayers go out to those who have been affected by this.

I love reading that I am not the only one beginning to be a basket case and it's nice to know I am not alone!

Hi all ~ I haven't been on the forum for a while but as my date draws closer I have been lurking more and more. I also got charged right away for my deposit and then they sent me an official confirmation of the date and time for or ceremony.

I was wondering if anyone had any information on the earthquake they had in Hati and how it has affected the DR. We are just about 60 days out and I am hoping this is just a fluke thing that won't cause any problems.

I am trying not to panic and am just curious if anyone else had heard anything?

Happy planning,

Kim

This is a great thread ~ I can't wait till my wedding ~ I am sure our group will have some doozies~!

Very awesome pictures! Thanks for sharing them!

This is a great post! Very helpful - thanks everybody!

Thanks everyone for your great suggestions ~ Sounds like I can't go wrong with the Bordeaux!

I will be getting married at Dreams PC on March 17, 2010. There will only be a small group of 10 of us. We will not be paying for a reception, because we are doing a big reception when we get home, so we would just like to have everyone meet for cocktails after the ceremony and then try to get into one of the restaurants together even if we have to break up into two tables.

My question is I was thinking about having everyone meet at the Oceana bar and Restaurant is this a nice place or should we consider someplace else. I would love any opinions or feedback on which would be the best place. I would like to have a nice place with a pretty surrounding for this get together but it doesn't have to be super fancy.

Thanks in advace for your help!

Very inspirational! You did a fantastic job! Best wishes for your special day!

What a great dress!

We really wanted to go with insulated mugs with our logo on them for our DW, but we only need 12 and the prices for just 12 were very high. I found this site and I think we will go with the personalized beer steins with our logo we can get 100 - enough for the DW and the AHR for as much at it would have cost us to get 12 personalized travel mugs.

Hope this helps!

I am really sorry that this happened. I generally think people are honest and good but I guess it only takes a couple of bad apples to ruin things for everyone.

I agree with Michelle ~ this is a good way to ensure that know feels left out and you will probably be mingling most of the evening anyway.

I am so sorry for your added stress! I hope everything works out okay! I think that your hubby should probably try and respond as politey as possible that rearraging things would not be ok!

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that we are going to hand these out as guests arrive with a personalized pen that they can keep. There will be a decorated basket on the same table for people to put the pages into when they are finished filling them out. I thought I would put the picture matt that those who attended the ceremony signed with a framed wedding picture on the same table along with the cover for the guestbook pages.

I just finished designing my guestbook pages for our AHR and have attached a publisher copy of them. We are having a small ceremony in the Dominican Republic and are taking a picture frame mat to have those who are attending the wedding sign. I got so many great ideas from this forum I thought I had better share them. I am also going to create a cover similar to the one I saw at Black and White Damask with Lime Green Wedding by creativebridal

My colors are black and white damask and kiwi green so the green on the cover will be darker.

Let me know what you all think.

These are wonderful! I think I will send these out before we go too!

I have the fabric bought for mine and I am just trying to get motivated! Yours turned out great and I only need to make six so I had better get to it!

Thanks for sharing and the motivation!

We are going to have a candy buffet at our AHR. I was so excited, our wedding colors are black and white damask and kiwi green, I just found these decorated Chinese containers online (we are using the smallest size) I can't wait to get these for our buffet!
