Good Luck Same here- they allow you to upload your own design or design one using their templates. And you can always google vistaprint coupon codes and get a bunch of stuff for free or really cheap. I got these magnets and inserted them in cards that I also got from vistaprint for 50% off.

So I have to put off booking again because now we can go back to our original honeymoon plans, but I'm not sure if FI and I want to do that or stick to the new one. I just want to book! I definitely haven't booked yet... still trying to iron out our exact travel dates. We're planning to stay in Jamaica for a short honeymoon after the wedding.

Pretty! I love the lace.

OMG-how awful!! I am praying for you that everything gets resolved.

That's such a great idea-- your sister did a great job on the site.

Also if you wanted to go away from the AI you could check out the rockhouse or tensing pen, they might have availability for weddings right now. good luck! I would echo this too. Or you might be able to find a wedding venue separate from the hotel so your guests can stay somewhere that fits in their budget.

Your pro pics are so sweet! Congrats!

Were u able to access all the photos on the link I sent you? The place looks beautiful. They have all of the photos up now and just have to write the review. It does look lovely-- I can't wait to go! My mom & I are staying there and taking a day-trip to Negril to check on the wedding site. I will definitely take pics while I'm there & let you know about it!

Cute wedge! And you can't beat that price!!

Here are mine-- I ordered them from Vistaprint-- the free cards came already & looked good so I put in an order for the rest of them! Outside: Inside: Magnets (also from Vistaprint) are inserted inside:

Congratulations! And beautiful pics!!

Welcome to the forum!

So my save-the-date cards have started to go out! I ordered some free Vistaprint cards first to see how they turned out. Then went back to make a big order for the mailing. I used a 50% off coupon code so they were super-cheap! And they came WITHOUT the Vistaprint logo on the back. :-) Here's how my living room looked during the assembly. http://x5e.xanga.com/58cc4b45d613120...s157340112.jpg And now the details: Outside: http://x5f.xanga.com/aedf106a6213419...m152891041.jpg Inside: http://x53.xanga.com/5e7f00716203719...m152891052.jpg Magnets (also from Vistaprint) will be inserted: http://x00.xanga.com/e55c84674903519...m152891058.jpg And people are starting to receive them! I've been watching our wedding website like a hawk, to see who signs up....

One of the first things I did after I chose my location and my date, was to start thinking about photographers. I knew it was something I was willing to spend more on, because once the day is over, I want great pics to frame, share, love... I got a few price quotes from Jamaica-based photographers, which ran the gamut... My favorite was the most expensive, charging approximately $2400 for 4 hours. Went back to the web and started searching, and found my photog who is based in Northwest Indiana... she was doing her very first destination wedding photography giveaway. You had to answer a few questions and tell her why you wanted her to photograph your wedding and she would select a winner... and I won! Although I am responsible for airfare and 3 nights hotel, it stilll works out cheaper than hiring one of my original picks. PLUS, she's giving us a lot for our money. So far we've already had a complimentary engagement shoot, which turned out beautifully.. http://photos-b.ak.facebook.com/phot...60329_7654.jpg She's also said she'll do a day-after shoot for us as well. I can't wait!

Welcome and congratulations!

Awww.... nice pics! And that minister looks so teeny next to your DH!
