Great Job! Very creative ! I like it!

Wow! These are awesome. You did a great job!

Great job! I also chose the same colors. I am getting married in April and can't wait to start DIY. I want to start now but unsure of how many to make. I must visit vistaprint!

Thanks for sharing. I like new, exciting DIY stuff!

Great idea! I may have to borrow the idea

Great idea!

Good to Know, MS325i. I will certainly look into it. Hopefully it won't cost too much.

I was also contemplating the JellyFish. Would love to see your pics and feedback. I am getting maried April next year.

This is awesome! Thanks! I will definetly use this. Thought I was organized.....

Hi emme, if you have any available, I would love them as well. Would you mind?

Thanks, Cnc. That's wonderful! 8 years and finally going to live in the same country. Soon, no more border crossings. Can't wait! Ms325i - FYI - I asked the immigration office in the US if by having a lawyer will expedite the process and they said unfortunatley, no. I agree with the Fiance visa program as it is too complicated. I think we are also going to wait to receive the certificate to then be sponsored. Good luck to you and your fiance.

Welcome! I am also getting married in April 2010 in Punta Cana and have chosen the RIU Palace Punta Cana. Good luck with the planning!

Welcome! I am getting married on Thursday, April 22, 2010. Can't wait! How far along are you in your planning? I thought planning a destination wedding would be less time consuming...NOT

Great job! I may have to borrow it

Hello fellow Canadians and possible yankees.... CnC - I have a question for you: how are you Canadian living in the US and your fiance is in another state? Just curious. FYI - I asked RIU and dominicanrepublicservices.com (based in the USA and yes, WeDo takes care of logisitics in the US) what I can do to expedite the process. Apparently, there is a certificate with apostille that RIU can give me and then dominicanrepublicservices.com could start the legalization and translation of our documents so that we do not have to wait 6 months to receive the marriage certificate. It is good to hear SeaPrincess that you received your certificate in 1 month. That's great... My fiance and I have been together for over 8 years living in separate countries and it would be nice to eventually live in the same country with eachother shortly after we getting married. Wish us luck!

Thank you, everyone! I may have to consider getting married in the US or Canada however not sure if I can't tell my family that we wil be having a 'symbolic' marriage rather than the real ceremony. Legality speaking, it is a lot easier and cheaper for immigration.

Thank you, everyone! These are great ideas! (Who ever said that planning a destination wedding would be easier than planning one at home was crazy!). The luggage tags and wine stoppers are great and I also like the idea of the bottle of rum. Les and Lynda - are there many items that can found (and less expensive) at the local markets? Thanks,

Hi Corvette 79, Congratulations! Would you mind sending the templates to me by email at [email protected]. I am new to this site and I can't figure out how to upload documents etc. I really appreciate it! I think it is a great idea and I can't seem to find them. Thanks!

Hi Shellb, I have already booked the judge for my April 2010 wedding. How do I book Pastor York? Is there an additional cost for his services? What happens with the judge that was booked through the resort? I booked the Judget through RIU Palace. Thanks.

Hello DR Brides, I am getting married in the DR in April 2010 and having a difficult time thinking of wedding favours that fit within my budget. I want to get the gifts before I leave for the DR because I don't want to spend my time in the DR looking for small gifts for my wedding guests. I was thinking of a personalized CD with DR music and mirachas however I recently found out that Mirachas are not popular in the DR as they are popular/common in Mexico. HELP! What are your ideas?

Hey Everyone, New to this site and have received great ideas! Thanks! As I am Canadian marrying an American living in separate countries- anyone else in the same vote? What are your plans for the legalities regarding the civil ceremony? I learnt that in the DR, we will receive the marriage certificate 6 months after?! Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks,

Hello amberdgraham, I am getting married at the RIU Palace Punta Cana in April 2010and just starting my planning. I am very new to this site and can't seem to get the jist of it. Would you mind if I used your fact sheet and DR fyi? I was unable to open the documents. If I gave you my email, would you mind emailing it to me? Thanks, Michelle
