What a great idea!! thank you, I should get my pictures later this week and you will see how much we used our colors (even the room we had the reception in was green) Jen, I was thinking about this from a copyright standpoint and as long as you aren't publishing on the knot.com or something like that it would be okay to use Aylee's designs on professional invites (if you do publish your wedding stuff, then you would need to give Aylee credit)

Jessalyn and Courtney used boxes I believe.

here is another one with the image directly on the page (it's on the bottom) I think that the monograms really helped to tie everything together, and a lot of people liked them...we also had stamps made.

I used the image in my stuff, like table names, programs, invites, etc. let me give you some examples

we got swans in jamaica also...how funny. great pictures, I love the one of the two of you on the hammock...and by the way Will totally wanted that shirt but I could only find it in this weird green color

I used another company for my monograms, they sent me jpeg files, but I made my own invites so I am not sure how it would work with copyright to use another company.

I think fuschia or orange would go well, so many tropical flowers are those colors...good idea to use the surroundings.

Those look great, and let me tell you my fans were a big hit, it was really hot in the church and apparently everyone was using them.

welcome, I can't help much with your location, but I just wanted to welcome a neighbor-I am from Alexandria, VA!

Michelle, when one of my bm's got married we went bowling dressed up as 50's housewives, she was working for a company where she designed aprons and other kitchen stuff, so we all wore one of her aprons and then we went out to this really fun sushi place in LA where they sang and danced and had these amazing saki bombs, then we had a slumber party also...it was a blast

Do it from that website instead of mine, so it's sent to someone close to your zipcode (although I wish I could travel to CA and do it for you! haha). I just sent your link to my hubby and to the girl I plan events with for my sorority alumni group...this is a very cool thing! thanks

Michelle, sorry I just saw this thread again. We went out to dinner after wine tasting and a nap, then we came home and watched mean girls and chatted. It was so fun just to have all my friends in one room with me. We stayed at my mom's house as most of them were in So Cal, however some had to fly in for it. what about a bunko night or game night at the slumber party. You are so close to napa you could do a little wine tour (when we went tasting the day after the wedding, there was a bacherlette party at almost every winery). You can set up private tastings, its very cool. Let me know if you need some info on wineries that we went to.

those are really pretty. I bet you could DIY

I think you could find some great Coral and Turquoise combinations, "teal" is the in color right now. We just re-did our decor in our house and that was all we could find. As for the flowers, just to be sure bring the ribbon you want and have that tied around your bouquet, so that way no matter what colors the flowers are you will find something. But I am sure they will have some lilies that are orange that you could use.

Julie the outfits are so adorable...you are getting so close to your big day....and your niece is so cute! Don't worry by the end of the day they will ruin their clothes, my family all brought a change of clothes for the little flower girls and ring bearer because they were all over the place, my 4 year old cousin ripped the knee of his rented tux, but they were so cute dancing the night away his mom said it was worth it.

I had some major issues with my hotel as well but my caterer was very experienced and handled everything...so if you had to pick a hotel with no WC make sure your caterer or other vendors can help out if things get crazy so that you the bride/groom don't have to do that stuff on your wedding day.

for my flowergirls and ringbearers I put together little fun bags, they had things to keep them occupied. There was a beachball, pez dispensers, bubbles, etchesketches...etc. They loved the toys and they were a big hit!

let me know if you need any info on Couples...they have a great honeymoon package.

you did a great job Andrea!

funny-I feel so bad for people who have funny last names...

I did pay for two of the dresses (they are supposed to return the money, but I doubt I will ever see it again), I think its a nice gesture and in that case I wouldn't buy them gifts.

its against ettiquette to send out your registry info, its okay for other people (like your shower invites) to send them but not okay for you to blatently put it out there you want gifts.

I went to Ocho Rios and stayed at Couples, it was nice and simple. We slept a lot, ate good food, and had a lot of good drinks. The staff was excellent and it is a smaller resort so we liked that. Good luck, it sounds like you are going to have a lot of fun...can I recommend trying not to make too many plans for your honeymoon, as you will honestly be so tired you will just want to hang with your new hubby. My hubby did not want to make plans and I was annoyed at first, but once we got there I was so happy that we could just go as we pleased.
