How many holder's are you looking for?! I got them at weddingstar.com 3 for $8. lol. I wish I could sleep late, but having 2 dogs I never have that luck! lol I will definitely check into it. DJ Mannia said he's done 4 hours at GP before, so I'm hoping he knows best. How many guests did you have sit at each table? We have about 60 people total including 8 kids. That's one part that makes table planning a little difficult. I would love to at least add them to the cake table. So maybe 6? Thanks much!!

Ok...first, I have a little problem because I've been sitting here all morning anxiously awaiting replys. lol. Thanks! Now I can start my morning. lol I'm wondering if they will extend the party to 4 hours. Where did you get those holders? I really like them! I am doing 50 OOT bags...umm...it's getting a little out of hand. lol.

Congrats! We're getting married at the Grand Palladium Bavaro and everything seems to be fallling into place now. Best of luck to you!!

You're a great FI for doing so and you've definitely come to the right place! Welcome and Best of luck!

Congratulations and Welcome! Try the threads specifically under Dominican Republic, you will find tons! Also, check out wedding reviews, that's actual how I decided where I didn't want to go. Dreams also has a really nice chic looking resort/weddings. I wanted to go there but with soo many people it was getting a bit pricey. Good luck!

Congratulations and welcome to the forum!!

Congrats! You have come to the best site to help you get started! Best of luck!!

Are you feeling like I am and finally trying to get it all together? I've waited because I always felt like it was too early to really plan the actual wedding stuff, but now it's around the corner and I'm like shoot! Better plan as much as I can! lol. But not stressed, just excited. THANK GOD for this site though. Without you girls, I have no idea what would have happened! Although FI says(in a kind/fun way), without you girls, we would have saved a bundle and I wouldn't have a tone of DIY projects. lol.!!

I'm surprised it's something I did get back!! I didn't get candle holders back(but they were $$$$) nor some tea light candles with the batteries. That's about it, I brought the sand ceremony with me when I went to go get changed in my parents room. LOL yah the jugde said his little speach after we were legal, then seriously ran off to the next ceremony that is when the SIL came up and did her speech that I wrote on cue cards for her.. I think I still have it if you want it/need it. Ohh I want to see your cake!! What colour did you pick for the ribbon, if you even got ribbon... here is mine... Tracy, Did they decorate the table like that for you? It looks so awesome. Thanks again for all your replies!!

I really like the idea of parasols, my FI thinks it's kind of cheesy. How did they work out for you? They look so pretty and I love how your bridesmaid's look came together!!

So FI and groomsmen have voted for beach party now. I'm debating between Mannia and resort DJ which is only $250?? DJ Mania is $800 for 4 hours including lighting etc. Thanks again Tracy for the info. How was your DJ? Steph, how did you like the DJ? We initially thought the same thing about having the private restuarant, but I think we are leaning towards the beach if we can have a dance floor, which DJ Mannia does have. Thanks again!

Another question...(i'm finally cracking down on getting everything planned! lol) Does anyone know if I bring cake boxes, if they will give cake to the guests to bring to their room? I keep hearing about how the cake is huge and everyone is too full too eat it! lol. So I thought it might be nice.

oh, would you mind sending to [email protected]? Thanks sooo much!

Looks great. I was thinking of vistaprint as well, but I'm sure this is more economical and great for those short on time!

Oh no! Now I'm sad too! I am soo excited that we are only 40+ days away...I don't want to leave!!

I just wanted to give a shout out to my FI! I have been ordering things for the wedding like crazy. He sees charges from Etsy, OTC, Amazon...everywhere! We are not people made of money, he is a teacher for NYC and I am a manager of a doctor's office, but we've saved for the wedding and he said we will do what we want for our wedding, within our means. He always gives his honest opinion, but never in an argumentative way. He doesn't bat an eyelash when I tell him what I've ordered and plan. AND to top it all off, when I told him flowers will run us about $1000, he said "That's normal for a wedding"!!! I couldn't believe it, I am soo lucky!

Beautiful dress! Have you tried posting in on Used Wedding Dresses, Used Wedding Gowns, Buy & Sell Used, Designer & Sample Bridal Dresses | PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com ? That's where I purchased mine...it's a great site for selling dresses. Good luck!

cute dress...i'm sure you'll find a buyer!

The easiest way to upload is by using a photobucket account.

Oh wow! FI is not going to be happy about our emergency trip to Michaels! lol Thanks for sharing!

Thanks It's his Bass...his first love, so he is going to really love it!

Beautiful dress and I love the birdcage veil. It depends on your style, but a necklace to compliment the detail on the dress would be nice and since you have the birdcage veil I think something a little less formal than pearls would be nice. (But pearls are always great and would look really nice too...ok I was no help. lol)

Ahh ok. Nice of you! I picked my pics and gave her the info for the printed book that I ordered...I upgraded from the photobook that was included because I thought it would be fun for him to have a "magazine" as his wedding gift. I guess I could have did it myself, but she's awesome and I figured I have enough to do! lol How was your trip??
