I'm a crazy scrapbooker as some of you know so I decided to incorporate my love for it into my wedding. Instead of a regular guestbook, I'm going to do a photo scrapbook similar to the Polaroid one but I make the pages. I'll still have a polaroid camera and all my guests will have to do is stick their pics to the page and my scrapbook page is complete! They have a large space on the bottom to write a little something. Also with each of my pages, I added a different quote about love, life, and memories. My materials cost $20.50 although my stamps & ink pads I already had in my supplies. I bought plain metallic paper so I can decorate it however I want. All I have left to buy is the scrapbook album & the Polaroid camera. Here's what I have so far.. *MORE TO BE ADDED AS I MAKE THEM*: Quote: Memories are the most beautiful pictures our minds can paint, and nothing can ever erase them. Quote: If your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches.

I have an entire room in my house dedicated to scrapbooking. I have A LOT of money already invested in supplies. lol Scrapbooking can be a costly hobby if you're not careful.

I use Weddingwindow.com I love love love it!

My WC emailed me pics of the beach at my resort.. I think I'm safe enough for a beach ceremony but I'm going to check at my next site visit in May.

Welcome to the boards! Happy planning

I love reading about celeb weddings

I priced out the Ritz in Cancun and the price was astronomical. I would proceed with caution with them lol I'm sure St. Thomas would be even more expensive.

This is the best I got from the beaches - This first pic is from Riu Cancun, you can see Dreams on the end..it had the best beach. I'm guessing the north beaches of Cancun weren't affected as bad as the other beaches along the western coast: Here's the beach from Riu Palace Las Americas: Here's the beach from Oasis Cancun..most beaches look like this. Seems they lost more than 20ft. of sand:

Congrats!! Mexico is a great choice and less expensive
