I’m so excited it’s time to post my planning thread!!!!!! At the advice of the Mods I started this a while back as a Word doc and added to it over the months. I highly recommend doing it this way, so much easier and not as overwhelming as the wedding approaches! I’m hoping to give back even a small piece of what I have gained from finding this amazing website! It’s been a long and wonderful journey for FI & I. We started dating in high school and have been together for 13 years! I love him so much and can’t believe our day is almost here! He proposed on my birthday in July 2007 and we knew right away we wanted a destination wedding. We had been on a cruise wedding the previous year and thought it would be a perfect choice for us. Fast forward 1.5 years and here we are! I want to give a big thank you to Tammy and all the mods who work so hard keep BDW up and running, and a fabulous place to share all things “weddingâ€, friendships, and so much more! I really wasn’t as excited about planning until finding BDW and all of you amazing people! My only regret is not finding BDW a year earlier when we started planning our DW. A special THANK YOU to the most amazing ladies my fellow shouters! You’ve all shared pieces of your lives, friendship, support, humor, advice, and I appreciate you so much! And a congratulations to my fellow February brides, can you believe it’s almost our time?!?!?!?! And also a big thanks to my fellow cruise brides for all of their help and advice! One more thank you to everyone for sharing their ideas and planning threads, I’m sure a lot of this will look familiar! Okay, sorry for the mini speech, on with my planning thread! Our engagement story: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t25786 FI & I at our friend’s cruise wedding a few years ago: After choosing a cruise wedding and blocking out the cabins on the ship we didn’t have much time to get the invitations out. We wrote a letter explaining our DW, designed a brochure, put together an info sheet, and included a reservation form. Our invitations weren’t very fancy at all. Functional is a better way to describe them . I would have loved to be able to do boarding pass invites but it didn’t work out for us with our time crunch. Here’s the paper our letters were printed on: Brochure: I had everyone RSVP to our wedding website. Feel free to check it out: Alan & Andrea - wedding website by mywedding.com. We will have 27 of us cruising together! We are sailing on Royal Caribbean Freedom of the Seas to the Western Caribbean. Here’s a picture of our ship! We have a balcony cabin… still posting...

Kate.com's Planning Thread
Banana11 replied to kate.com's topic in Destination Wedding Planning Journal
Holy cow lady everything looks so great! I love the hanging program idea, turned out beautifully! Your dress is gorgeous! Have a fabulous trip, enjoy every moment!!! Hopefully we'll be able to catch up before I run off and get hitched . -
Hey girls! I was thinking about all of you and that we haven't checked in for a while. Tobi, we leave in 15 days too! We will basically be in the Caribbean at the same time, just different islands. Passing ships in the night...ha! I printed our programs last night and I am happy with them. I found this great paper that is deep red on one side and ivory on the other with red hearts woven in. Love it! I'm getting my hair cut/colored tomorrow and going for a makeup trial at MAC. I've been waiting for these two appointments for a long time!!! I've got my planning thread almost ready to go. So exciting!

I also have sensitive ears and have to avoid nickel. I've tried this a few times and it's worked for me...brush clear nail polish on the post or any part that touches your ear. You'll need to repeat frequently as it wears away. I'm not sure if this will irritate your ears more? Sounds like your ears are a bit more sensitive. Good luck!

color and cut = wedding!!!!!!

We had the same issue and what helped was explaining to them we'll only be at the resort in Jamaica for a few hours on our wedding day. With a cruise wedding you don't have much time to spend at the wedding location. Tell them you will be very preoccupied with getting married and it's already going to be quick enough, there won't be much time to see them. You were hoping they'd join you on the cruise so you can spend time celebrating. I told my guests I would hate to see them spend the money and fly to Jamaica and be dissapointed by how fast it all happens.

I couldn't believe what had happened. I mean....it's not like we look like we have a lot of money or anything. I keep saying to myself...."why us?" That's insane! I'm so sorry he took your ring. Hopefully it turns up soon and it's all a bad memory. I would put calls out to pawn shops in the area and not count on the police only to do that for you. -
I thought the security blanket was adorable too! I'm just wondering if it's too young for a 1st birthday gift? I guess you don't get much younger than 1 years old but still .

Happy wedding day!!!

I need to buy a 1st birthday gift for our good friend's little girl. Which one do you like best? I will say they are not into the typical this is for girls and this is for boys type of stuff. So, I am hesitant to go with a doll even though I think they are adorable. So, which do you like best? Lucky Duck Security Blanket: Personalized Lucky Ducky Security Baby Blanket from TakeAStroll.com Personalized 1st Birthday Bear: Personalized First Birthday Bear by Gund from TakeAStroll Baby Gift Gallery Personalized 1st Birthday Doll: Personalized My First Birthday Doll by Gund from TakeAStroll Baby Gift Gallery Thanks for your help!
