I just love this forum! You are all so creative and inspiring - I keep upping my budget so I can fit in all this cute stuff! Thank you for sharing, your starfish is gorgeous

You will be in heaven! I am not sure why you are hesitant, but you can specify if there are certain areas you want them to concentrate on or avoid, etc. Have your head massaged - that feels great! You will love it and be so relaxed afterwards. You'll question why you had never been before. Enjoy it!!! I am so jealous . . .

I am amazed! You did such a wonderful job, so professional looking!

Christa I love that! What a great way to incorporate a lot of candles and not have them just spread out all over the place (ouch!)

Are you doing a day after brunch or anything? I would just hand them out the day after or the day people leave. (of course depending on how many guests you have and what you'll be up too! =)) That is a very cute idea though and Congrats!

Thanks so much for the info! We just really love the whales and want to be there during whale season that is why we are sorta stuck on February. If someone knows of a wedding planner over there I would love a referral! I need to start making calls - I have a feeling that because the island is smaller and there isn't so many resorts/hotels, etc. (as compared to some of the other islands) dates probably book up faster. And I thought I was way ahead of the game with a Feb 2009 wedding! Princeville looks gorgeous and I am going to look into it a bit more since I keep hearing wonderful things about it. Thanks again!

Hi Sara and to the forum!! This is a great site with tons of friendly and helpful people - happy planning!!

Congratulations and !

Hi Angela, I'm from Cali too! to the forum, this is a great place with tons of information - happy planning!!

to the forum and congratulations! Vegas is great - been to a number of bachelorette parties in Vegas and it was a blast. You are planning for a great time of year there too - not too hot!! Happy planning

I would love to see a picture. What time of year was it when you were there? I'm worried about the rain. A little is okay, but I hear the north shore is a bit wet! I stayed on the south shore in Poipu and it rained just a bit, but for the most part it stayed true to its reputation as the sunny side of the island. Thanks for the info!!

That is so creative - thanks for sharing!

I don't have an answer to your question but to the forum! I am sure there is someone out there who will be able to give you some advice and happy planning!

I think they are so cool! I am definitely going to do boarding passes. Great job - I am so glad when it comes time to start making mine I will have some great examples to refer to. I just hope mine turn out as great as yours. Thanks for sharing!!

What a great proposal (or should I say proposals)! Congratulations!!

to the forum! This forum is great - just wait, it becomes addicting! Happy planning!

Thanks! Those are great suggestions - I can't wait to start playing around with setting up my site.

and congrats!!

Thank you akh!! I'll get the hang of this in no time.

Hello! I am looking for suggestions on where to set up my wedding website. I need to do this before I send out my STDs, so I can put that info on there. I'd like something that is fairly easy to manage/update/upload, etc. (managing my profile on this forum is a bit challenging for me - so one could only imagine me having to do an entire website ) Free or reasonably cheap is preferred! Thanks so much for your thoughts!!

to the forum! I'm new here too. I am planning my wedding for Kauai (was there for Valentines Day and loved it). Carribean will be absolutely gorgeous no matter what you decide to do. I am also not having a large gathering and am still debating between a larger resort or smaller venue. We'll see! But good luck in your planning and there are tons of great ideas and resources here so you came to the right place! Have fun!!

Thank you everyone for your warm welcome!!! I feel relieved finding this forum to help me along and to vent. Time is on my side - so I am glad for that and I am actually having fun researching and planning. Hard to do though while working fulltime, but I am managing to squeeze it in here and there! Anyways, THANK YOU!!!!

Yah I know! I was shocked.

Yah, I totally agree with them getting lost during the holiday season, all mixed in with Christmas cards, etc. I think I am going to do magnets so they can go directly on the fridge and not be lost or forgotten! Thanks for your input!

Hi, I am planning a wedding for late February 2009 in Kauai. I wanted to book The Beach House Restaurant, but they don't have my date available that I inquired about. I really like Poipu/Koloa area, on the south shore. Anyone have suggestions for other locations? and I need a coordinator! Any referrals? Thank you!
