I sent out my save the dates about 10 months in advance. I think the rule of thumb is as soon as you have a date narrowed down, order them and send them out! That gives people tine to save money for the trip! On another note, I found out that you can only have 20% of your guests NOT stay at the Hard Rock. So if you have 20 guests only 4 can stay elsewhere! I thought that sucked. I'm still going in August for a site inspection and will get an idea of the costs so I will let you know what I find out. I'm budgeting about 10k just to be safe but I want to do excursions and cocktail hours and stuff throughout the week. I really have no idea if that is a reasonable number or not! We shall see!

This is the first thread I have seen about pre travel mailers. I though I was the only one over the top a little. I am going to mail out a package with a welcome letter with some info about entry requirements, climate, what to pack, etc. I have luggage tags (flip flops and airplanes), I bought little travel shampoo containers at the dollar store and printed out labels that say "Punta Cana or bust" and have our wedding date, a shoe bag, and a carry on kit. In the carry on kit I am putting advil, gum, pens for filling out customs forms, antibacterial wipes for the nasty airplane trays, and hand sanitizer. I will probably include some type of candy or snack as well. I made my own shoe bags and bags for the carry on kit. They are here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/194498930/10-travel-themed-muslin-favor-bags-gift?ref=shop_home_active_1 https://www.etsy.com/listing/194052484/large-beach-muslin-wedding-favor?ref=shop_home_active_4

Does anyone remember what the cost of these were?

Hi Maggie! I'm getting married at the HRH Punta Cana May 1, 2015. We are doing a site inspection trip at the end of August. I don't know about nearby resorts, but if you try to search it on a map, look for the Moon Palace. You may already know that, but I looked for weeks before I realized. Have you decided which collection you are going to have? Are you planning to visit beforehand? If not, is there anything you would like me to check on while I am there?
