A "Better safe than sorry" kind of attitude.

Fantastic! Thanks very much! DR Bride July 2010

Looks like you're off to a good start! Cute picture. We also used mywedding.com, very easy site. PS. I added a note stating that we would like to "be green" and not send out wedding invites if not necessary. Saves on a bit if cash as well as a tree or two. We of course will send to the grandparents, parents, etc. Those who will want that momento. But most friends just find it extra mail if they can view a wedsite. I know i do!! Best of luck in all your plans!

If you don't mind me asking, where are you from? Also...call cheapcarribean.com directly. They do not do group rates per se. But they will give you a direct contact who can handle all of your guests travel arrangements and it will be a bit more personal and organized than telling everyone to book online.

BLJM, I have booked a few vacations through cheapcarribean.com and recommend them. We have never had a problem and they have fantastic rates!! Good Luck!

Congratulations Nancy! Good for you guys for not giving into a having the big wedding that you may not necessarily want! We are actually seriously considering Dreams in Punta Cana as well, for July 2010. Have you set everything up already? The WC do take some time to respond, but from what I have learned from BDW forums...don't stress it, they will make it happen Have you visited the resort? My FI and I are planning to check it out this August, since we already made plans for a vacation at another resort this year (pre-engagement) so it's kind of a good coincidence that we got engaged prior to our vacation. I'd be happy to check out anything for you if needed! PM me if so. Best of Luck!

We are getting married July 2010 in DR. We have yet to decide on a resort, but we're looking. We like Dreams or maybe a RIU resort. I already got my dress though!! lol. I hope I don't change my mind, but it's perfect for a destination wedding. I got it from preownedweddingdresses.com which is fantastic! It's a brand new dress and what a bargain from that site! If you decide to use it, negotiate prices! http://www.alfredangelo.com/shared/i...rgedNormal.jpg Best of luck to you!

Really cute and creative!! I may have to steal this from the BDW bride that stole from the BDW bride who stole from the BDW bride... LOL FANTASTIC!

Congrats Jennifer! Are you DIY or having the Carnival package? I was looking into the same for 2010 but wasn't sure if it would work out the way I hope my wedding to be. Best Wishes!

Hi! I'm Dinah. My fiance and I will marry in July 2010 and I'm very happy my sister found this site to help us plan our destination wedding in DR. Thanks for all the information posted here, it has already helped me tons!! We are trying to contact the Dreams Resort in Punta Cana, but haven't heard back from them yet. (Been about one week)
