Thanks again ladies, Quote: Originally Posted by Christine well I wish, but I don't think its going to happen, but we'll be in So Cal in late July so hopefully we can meet up then and if not we have a rather big event next year to attend! GO SAMO Class of 99! I cannot believe it! I think the only reason I'm going is b/c you are going, lol. Quote: Originally Posted by PaulaV I absolutely love them Amy!

Be careful, I plan on having kids too (birth annoucements, b-day parties...)!

[quote=starchild;335012 So if you don't have the envelopes now do you have to call around? What a pain! Yup.l I'm going to wait until my deadline, then call around. Its a process of elimination- I sent Spanish and English versions and I wrote in the total number of guests invited. I have a pretty good idea which guests got which version, so I'll just wait and see. Quote: Originally Posted by starchild I love that your aunt requested chicken fingers - lmao!!

Thanks ladies! Thanks Christine for posting! All I had were crappy pics from my cell, lol. Christine, your are going to be missed My BM is taking her 8 week old (she's due the beginning of May), you can come too, lol.

Quote: Originally Posted by JamaicaBride062108 LOL! I hate that for you Amy! Never underestimate stupidity. Coding the cards sounds like a really good idea. No, never! That's only the beginning! I addressed one of my GM's HIS NAME and Guest, he wrote his name for steak and "Guest" for chicken. I had to email him and ask for her NAME! I only specified that I needed the NAME!!! My aunt requested Chicken Fingers (off the CHILDREN'S menu)! Oh I can go on and its only the beginning! Quote: Originally Posted by AnnR was there a place for them to fill in their names, I think that's pretty standard on RSVP cards. what a PITA! I guess you can email people and ask them if they RSVP'd already - and remind those that haven't to please put their names on! I had 4 spaces! I state very clearly! I admit, I did forget to add a line for the no's but really for the yes's there is no excuse! Quote: Originally Posted by Christine what a pain (note to self, write our names on the very late response card to Amy and mail it tomorrow) lol, yes I would be disappointed in you if you forget, lol. I will post a sticky for all BDW to read! Quote: Originally Posted by StephanieMN I am so surprised so many people don't even know their own names! exactly, that only the least of it! Quote: Originally Posted by BarefootBride EWWW That really gets to me too! Im a teacher and when I get something with no name... even pretty art work... I get the kids attention and say, ew no name, I ball it up and throw that crap in the trash! LMAO Im so mean! Yes, is it not the first thing they teach you in school? WRITE YOUR NAME ON THE PAPER!!! Quote: Originally Posted by Alyssa amy, do you still have the reply envelopes - look at the postage stamp and you may be able to figure out some of them!

I thought I'd give a bit of advise I wish I had taken. I once read that you should code your reply cards w/ your invite list (i.e. writing a letter on the back of your response card.) I really wish I would have done this. So far I've received a about 3 "no's" with no names and 2 "yes's" (each with 4-5 guests) and with only numbers listed next to the menu, no names! I know my response cards were a little complicated, but come on, not even a name? Last name? Return address!!!! I am so annoyed!

I'm glad I made mine. All the compliments I received from guests made all the hard work pay off! Plus, making my BP STD's prepared me for my formal invites and all the rest of the DIY stuff I'll be making.

I love the first one, but thats b/c I want something similar

Wow! I looks like your ready to go! I love your necklace!

That's a great idea! It would be cute to double place cards as shoe tags so guests an attach to their shoes if they choose to leave them at the "shoe table".. Hmm I may have another DIY project!

Beautiful Pics!! I admit, I scrolled down and read your recap- you are too funny! I think Hans and I need to visit LC during our HM. I'm so curious after seeing all your weddings! Maybe we'll do the Rhythms of the Night tour, hmmm.

well then you can all help me plan my wedding, lol.

Happy Birthday Jilly!!

That's great! I've seen this place in pictures and it looks amazing! Who cares about fancy food and rentals! Its a WD not the wedding! Your guests are going to have a great time!

Congratulations Yari (btb) and Sarah (mrs.)

very cute!

It really depends on the resort. From what I've seen, they do charge a set up fee (per person) for a private event. Some brides just made reservations for their group at a restaurant w/in the hotel in order to save this cost. You should inquire w/ in your resort (or resorts) you are considering).

Hello, you can find info in this thread http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...t=paying+dress

just go to an office supplies store and purchase these Staples.com®. that was easy®. or use a template and print one http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...423521033.aspx

That's great Yari!!

oops, I just re-read your post. No I haven't done a group trip, sorry.

We did three tours El Yunque, a boat trip w/ snorkeling and El Moro. I thought El Yunque was a waste of money. The place was amazing, but our tour sucked! It could have been that it started to rain, but it was so short and hardly had a chance to see anything! I think your better off taking a cab there and booking your own tour. The boat trip was a blast. We went snorkeling in Fajardo. Snorkel, Snorkeling and Sailing Excursions in Puerto Rico We took a cab to El Morro and just purchased tickets there. No need for a tour package.
