I agree that it really doesn't matter. Have you thought about printing them with your printer? Word has an envelope template & after playing around with it it was quick & easy.

Heidi, I hope you & Reggie have a wonderful wedding day & a great time!!! Can't wait to see everything when you get back!!!

I got my large magnet STD's & post cards from Vista & they came out great!!! Everyone loved them. And the best part was that they were FREE. Also, if you ever have a problem configuring stuff, call them. They walked me thru everything when I couldn't figure it out & sent me a proof before I placed my order. After ordering my STD's, I've ordered my pens, t-shirts & thank you note cards from them.

I figure we're already discussing hair...lets work our way down. I'm hoping to find the right base/foundation that will be light enough for the Mexico heat and hold up in high humidity. Any suggestions? I had my first trial makeup session this weekend. I went to the mall & stopped by the Bare Escentuals store to try their Bare Minerals line. I never really wear foundation but this felt light. Although I felt like I had alot of makeup on cuz I'm not used to it, it did feel light on my skin. So maybe try that & see how you like it. I'm going to do my MAC trial today so that I have something to compare it to. Good luck!

Yari, I'm glad that you are able to get them redone and especially for $120 & not $500. I love what Morgan & Sarah did & can't wait to see the new post. All in all, its just good to know that you are happy with them now!

So, guess who just dropped byl? UPS....YAY..... They are sooooo prettyyyyyyy....I love all the colors!!! YAY again!!! Thanks again so much for all your hard work Trisha & Carly!

Anxiously awaiting my delivery as well! I want to share in all of the excitement too!

Very nice! You did a great job with it. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Abbie, Congrats on all of this! I can only imagine how excited you are!!! It's really a good thing that you had the courage to bring it up & so funny that both of you were on the same page! Now you get to do what you really wanted to do in the first place! : )

This is what you need to send: What documents are required to get legally married? Jamaica: Notarized copies of Birth Certificate Notarized copies of Passports or driver’s license Notarized copies of divorce papers (if applicable) Notarized copies of death certificate (if applicable) Notorized Documents stating name changes (if applicable) Notarized, written parental consents (if under 21 years of age) *All documents have to be notarized and presented in English 30 days prior to the ceremony. If your wedding is performed at the RIU Ocho Rios, please send the documents to the following address: * RIU Ocho Rios Mammee Bay P.O. Ocho Rios St. Ann JAMAICA In attention to Chandlyn Edwards, the on-site wedding coordinator.

I think Lizz pretty much answered all of your questions. Oh, I believe that the chair covers are $10 per cover. You can also change your mind about anything, at anytime. Just because you picked a certain package online, doesn't mean that you can't change that once you get to Jamaica. Try to relax a bit. You really do have a lot of time. As you read thru all these threads about ROR you will probably find a lot of answers to your questions. There are many reviews, lots of pictures and lots of help from all of us!! And you can ask the WC any questions that you have. She may take awhile to get back to you, but she will.

Quote: Originally Posted by geology_rocks I emailed Chandlyn and she replied the next day saying that our documents had arrived and everything is in order. Good to cross that off my list! I know what you mean! She responded to me as well & I feel much better now!

Quote: Originally Posted by AlmostMrsForbes hi, girls just for clarification - when we are talking about "originals" of a birth certificate, are we talking about a "certified copy"? My fiance doesn't have an original of his birth certificate, and everything else we've done (for other things requiring birth certificates) a certified copy has been OK. Thanks! I got a copy of my birth certificate & took that copy along with the original & got it notarized. You must have the original with you when you go to get the copy notarized. All they do is say that they saw the original & validate that the copy you have is in fact of the original...Hope that makes sense!! Chandlyn received it & said it was fine. I would think that your FI can take the certified copy of the bc & get a copy of that notarized & then send that in.

That is really beautiful!!! You did a great job!

Quote: Originally Posted by Kandys I know the answer to my question is out there but I just haven't been able to find it. I've booked my wedding, now what? I've read that the WC emails me a month or two before our wedding but really I have to wait? What about picking flowers and booking for the reception. Anyone have any information that may help me calm down a little? Quote: Originally Posted by Kandys I'm getting married December 5th at Rui Ocho Rios Jamaica. I've booked and now I don't know what to do. Theres so much information in here I don't know where to go. Chandlyn doesn't usually contact you, you have to reach out to her. Even though your wedding is in December, you don't have to wait to contact Chandlyn. You can contact her now with the questions/concerns that you have & she will respond. It may take her a few days to respond to you as she is very busy with weddings that are closer in date, but she will get back to you. And you will see that as your wedding approcahes, her response time may be quicker, it really depends! So, if you have questions about your reception choices, menu's, flowers, go ahead & contact her. You should also check the Jamaica section of the forum & look at the ROR threads. Many past & present brides have posted menu's, reviews of reception locations/choices, floral catalogs, photographer price list & tons & tons of pictures. I think Melissa gave you great suggestions in where to start. I hope this helps you!!

Rachel, you did a GREAT job with everything. I love your colors & all the personalization-the menu cards, ceremony & favor tags. The jewelry & bags are nice too! I'm sure that your guests will love it all!!! Have a great time & wonderful wedding day!

I too am using Lee's Tours & Norma has been a real pleasure to work with. I've made several changes due to the airlines changing their schedule, and she never, ever makes me feel like I'm driving her crazy! And they are always quick to respond to any issues/questions/concerns. They have just been great!

You can check out this thread:http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t15845 Some of our monograms were made by our fellow BDW member Sarah. You may also use the Search key & put in monograms or logo's & I'm sure a ton of threads will come up!

Hope you have a wonderful wedding day & a great time! Enjoy!
