Question

What are some things to keep in mind?

Answer

In addition to the latest email sent on 4/4 regarding the wedding: 1. Don't forget your travel documents (passport, Aruba ED card, credit or debit cards). 2. Let your bank(s) and or credit card company know you'll be traveling internationally. - We recommend taking out some cash for tipping if you so choose. 3. If you are staying on the RIU resort, no need to worry about food or beverages as you will be covered the entire duration of your stay. 4. Staying outside the RIU resort will result in a $125 fee to access the wedding property (this is a fee the resort charges, not the couple). 5. Calling/texting may result in roaming charges. Look into securing an international or travel plan or other means to communicate while out of the country.
