Hey girls, I am so happy we are all on this together! I'll tell you all of my plans... I am getting married on Friday, May 16, 2008 at noon on the beach at the RIU. I have about 80 guests coming and 8(!) bridesmaids and 8 groomsmen, 2 ringbears and no flower girls (all nephews and no nieces). I have NO IDEA what I'm doing afterwards yet. I was planning on a reception, but I am hearing now that the earliest possible time for a reception is 6:30. So my question is what do my guests do between the hours of 1:00 and 6:00? I don't know what else the resort offers in way of a party or luncheon (nothing from what I've heard). I haven't booked the reception yet b/c Chandlyn has not gotten back to me. I emailed her a few weeks back and she said they don't plan weddings til 2 months beforehand!!! Then I wrote back a few days ago asking if I could at least reserve a reception venue and haven't heard anything yet. Any ideas?? As for the rest of my plans, I am thinking of doing program fans for the guests. For their welcome bags: koozies, cups, maybe some cards/dice, maybe suntan lotion/aleve/lip balm. I'm not 100% sure yet. I have my dress. It is tea length and strapless. I'm still working on the bridesmaids dresses. I am also on a forum on brides.com and a girl there sent me the photography package info and the menus. I will try to post them here asap. Talk to you all soon! Lizz

Thanks for all of the congrats and welcomes. I have the date booked, I have my dress, but that's about it. I'm trying to figure out what to do for a reception. Are you all having dinner/dancing/etc at a place at your resort or doing something else? I was even thinking maybe a party boat after the wedding, but need to find a company. I thought this would be simple, but it seems like the more I read, the crazier it's getting. I'm sure I'll be on here a lot asking questions!!!! Congrats to you all!

Hi! My name is Lizz. I'm getting married at the RIU Ocho Rios on May 16, 2008. I would love to hear from anyone else who is getting married there! I love this forum already from what I read. Congrats to all of the soon-to-be brides!
