If you ladies are going through destinationweddings.com - there is someone higher up that Cecilia and Daniela that our assigned TA deals with. Make sure to ask about or have your agent email her...

SMB - Congrats! Enjoy easing into married life!

 

Lauren - great find! We haven't registered yet but we're thinking Macy's, Target or Amazon. Amazon has a tool that that lets you click on things on other sites and add it to your wish list. We have a small condo for now, so also trying to figure out where to have everything sent.

 

We have our website at 95%, still missing a few things but here it is: www.weddingwire.com/MikeandClaireOnTheBeach

It was free and fairly easy to setup, although a little time consuming. We wanted the site to the be 1 stop shop for people who wanted information. We're trying to get STD's out by end of week (we're going to email).

 

I am still trying to make it through the board...but its a welcome task!

The site looks great!!

 

If I don't hear back from anyone by the beginning of next week, I'm calling! I know my wedding isn't until October, but that is no reason not to respond to my emails. Frustrating!

BTW ... just sent our STDs out and we already have 26 people booked!!

That's awesome Angie! Have any of you guys gotten a good hold on predicting the # of people coming? We've tried to take a guess, but I just don't know how many will come. And since it will effect the cost I'm trying to look into my crystal ball... I know they say 50% but I just don't see that many coming.

 

We are still working through our travel agent to get everything in paper officially and I haven't heard from him either, which usually means he hasn't heard from Paradisus. He's usually pretty good about calling them if there is a response issue so if I hear anything I'll let you guys know.

[avong1228]

We have no idea how many total we'll get. My first guess was 50-60 ... we'll see. Are you getting a block room deal of some kind?

[laurenvuitton]

Mine too Kellie! I am thinking people are going to start confirming/booking in the next few months.

[cmj783]

Kelie when did you send out your formal invites? Or have you yet? My thought is the procrastinators might wait until then (vs. STD) so we might send them out by mid March, if for no other reason than planning.

 

My estimate is 50 - 60. Fiance is more pessemistic and thinks it will be 25!

 

We aren't doing a block - TA said it was a hassle and not needed since the resort is big. I think we will monitor occupancy and figure out if we need to hold a block.

[avong1228]

We were thinking 4 months out but maybe we should do 5! I really want to do the passport invitations but from what I've been seeing they are around $6/piece. Do you think that's expensive?
