I was worried about this also but I was reassured I shouldnt have a problem. Im crossing my fingers that the wedding will not be as big as 150 people but with Jamaican family members (I am Jamaican and he is not) you never know! I am shelling the money for the guests and it is driving my costs up. Hopefully Chandlyn does not tell me they are enforcing the limit of people who are allowed on the property.

Your photos are beautiful! Congratulations!

OMG your wedding looks like it was amazing!! The pictures were amazing, and now I think Im switching from the disco to Seagrape as well. Thanks for the price of the bonfire Brittany!

I am a Crate and Barrel nut so I did that as well as Macy's but I gave my guests the link through weddingchannel.com so I could also donate to a breast cancer fund

I love the New York City Ballet Workout dvd's. Amazon.com: New York City Ballet: The Complete Workout, Vol. 1 and 2: Movies & TV: New York City Ballet: Complete Workout

Oooo, twelve_piece, that sounds like a great idea. Would you happen to have a recipe that I could test out as well? I am a big fan of shea butter and I know they would love to get soaps like that in my OOT bags also.

Thanks for the tip! I was looking for something to add to the OOT bags.

Can your family help you pay for it? Are they the one's inviting these people? I had the problem where my mom wanted to stay at a villa with tons of family and began telling people that. When I told her the total and that I couldnt swing it. I told her my options were either to reneg on invites or ask her to help me. Suddenly she wasn't staying at the villa and neither were other guests. Cruel, I know but it always comes back down to the budget, and if you can't afford it then your family should be a least sympathetic.

Wow Morgan! You rock!

Hi All! I was wondering if anyone knew of any inexpensive flip flop sites or vendors where I can get tons of flip flops in bulk. I wanted to buy some to put in baskets for the people who come to the ceremony with shoes they want to change out of. Any places? Please share! Thanks!

I am doing a frame as well but got mine from Oriental trading. I figure I can spruce it up myself... Autograph Photo Frame

Wow! I love it! It is gorgeous.

I had the website built and the save the date prelim stuff (design and price) ready before I got my second confirmation. It is never too early to plan what you would like to see happen (ie.. pictures and designs)

They look great! I like 2 and 3

they look nice!

These are amazing, i would love to see the template also! [email protected]

I say do whatever makes you happy, in the end it is all about you and your soon to be husband

Congrats! I remember how relieved I was when I finally decided...

Am I really the only August bride? Cant be! Mopher I also added you to the list

Hiya! So I was wondering if when the guests book for the wedding do they have to be there for a certain number of days before or after or if they can just stay one or two days? I tried to contact Chandlyn and she skipped over the question... lol Thanks!

Thats the same response I got. .:Sigh:. Crisis averted. Thanks Ilandking!

Like in most places the locals (and I am Jamaican) can be a little pushy, but it is not by any means any different than anywhere else. I can't imagine going to any country and just staying in the resort because that doesn't give me the "local flavor" I need. If someone offers to sell you something say no thanks firmly, if they push you to buy something or say you NEED it, tell them you dont. If you falter they will take advantage of that. No means no, and what are they going to do, scream that you were cheap? Who cares? And remember if you say yes to one you have to say yes to all.
