Spazz

Mine was $399 on sale for $349, which I thought was great when I see my friends who are getting married this year spending $1000+!

Congrats on your engagement! Happy planning!!!

That's great you have so much done. For whatever else you need, you will find the information here. Just looking at the posts about OOT bags gave me so many great ideas. Good luck with the rest of your planning! Let us know how we can help.

I visited Scottsdale last year, it is so beautiful! There are so many hotels and spas there to have your wedding. Sorry, I'm not too familiar with any of it, I was just a tourist, but I'm sure it will be so beautiful there. The one thing I can think of is Camelback. I hiked it and when I looked down there was a gorgeous golf course, maybe you could look into that...such great scenery. Good luck planning!

This forum is so helpful. Happy planning!

You'll find all of the information you need on this forum!

I sent out my STDs about 11 months before the wedding. My STDs were magnets with just our names, date and location. I printed out inserts about the same size of the magnet that told guests to contact the TA by August 15, then she is dealing with everything else. Also, on the insert I put the address of our web page. I also included the TA's business card, so they would have all of her contact info. It seemed a little early to do it, but people appreciate it because they are planning a vacation and need to save money and know when they're going. It's getting a little nuts though...I sent out the STDs and within a week had 63 "yes" replies! It's still a month til the August 15 deadline...ah!

What about the aisle runner? Is that something we need or something I could get elsewhere cheaper? I guess it is only $45, but the costs seem to keep adding up!

You girls are the greatest. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!

Could you girls email them to me? My email is [email protected]. Thanks again for all of your help, I really really appreciate it!

This is probably the dumbest thing you've heard in awhile, but what do I do with it after I get it How do I transfer it onto things, i.e. canvas bags?

Thanks! Which one are you all choosing?

Ann & Julie, They are both so good!!!! Now I am going to have trouble deciding....

I am getting married at the RIU in Ocho Rios. They are kid-friendly, but not geared towards kids, if you know what I mean. I just looked and there are 3 different RIUs in Cancun. They are also very affordable and I have heard great reviews.

I'll take a look at Creative Montage and the other one too...thanks for the idea! Heidi - if you have time, that would be great. My wedding is still 10 months away, so no rush. No real color theme yet, I'm thinking a white circle with a palm tree. Thanks for the offer! This may sound really dumb, but once I get a logo, how to get it on things, like canvas bags and stuff? Sorry, I'm not really good with this...

Hopefully for you (not for the other bride!) someone cancels. Let us know what happens!

Thanks so much for the information. Doesn't it seem like some of that is really expensive? I wonder if you could do some of it yourself... Also, that's weird that you can only pay in cash or travelers checks. I don't feel safe carrying around that much money in cash!

Congrats! Good luck planning, I hope you get some answers soon!

I am so clueless when it comes to "creative" stuff. Can anyone help me make a logo? I want a circle with a palm tree and our names (Lizz & Mike) and wedding date and location (May 16, 2008, Ocho Rios, Jamaica). Any help is appreciated!!!!!!

That is so exciting, I can't wait til my wedding is only 2 months away. Good luck with all the finishing details!!!!

I am getting married in Jamaica too (Ocho Rios). Let us know how we can help!

Can we hire a dj for the dinner? If so, maybe I'll do that instead of getting the disco for after dinner.

Is there a menu that is included or do we have to pay extra for the dinner?
