    Great site!! Thanks for posting!

    I've seen those before and am thinking of using them as well. I think they're really cute, I say use them!

    I would set a range. Guess the best you can on the number of people you will have and use that as your highest price and give the $1100 as a low price. You don't want to give your guests a price and then have it be a lot higher. Maybe put a note on your website that the more people that go, the less the cost will be pp. That encourage more people to attend. Good luck!! These price issues can be sticky matters.

    Let's see... Not having a wedding party, ring bearer or flower girl No bouquet toss No garter Not having a religous ceremony I haven't even thought about the dances yet...but I doubt we'll follow tradition. We're staying together the night before We've been living together for 3 years I'm sure there are more...

    I think it depends on how close you are with the BM. Is it a close friend or sister? If you know them well enough to know their style, I think it's nice gift. I wouldn't mind getting a suit as a gift.

    I agree, it is definately FI's responsibility to talk to them. You don't want to start a fight and have them blaming you. If FI is close with his dad, maybe he should start by talking to him. Tell them with all of the wedding expenses, you can afford to help them out a little, but cannot afford to pay for the whole trip. Your sister might still help you out with the photographer. Maybe it could be her wedding gift to you?? Good luck. I have a hard time dealing with my FMIL and FFIL as well, I know how hard it can make life.

    Great find! I wish I had a store like that by me.

    That's great!! I'm so happy for you! That will make your wedding plan a lot more fun.

    I think if you book through something like Apple or Funjet vacations, you are guaranteed the lowest price. So, if you book now and the price goes down, you will get that price. This only applies to rooms and flights. If you are talking about actual wedding costs, I'm not sure about that. Dates and times do book up quick, so you should reserve your wedding time ASAP.

    My dad is wearing khaki pants and a tropical style shirt. Kohl's had a lot of tropical print shirts that weren't over the top tropical. That's where his shirt is from.

    Congratulations!! I'm sure you'll love owning your own home!

    For those brides who wore the same dress at their wedding and AHR, did the dress get dirty at the wedding? I'm planning on wearing my dress at both, and I'm worried that it will be really dirty around the bottom edges and people will notice at the reception. Did you have it cleaned in between?

    When I was a kid my mom always washed and reused her aluminum foil, so it was always wrinkled. I didn't know aluminum foil came out of the package smooth until I was living on my own for the first time.

    Thanks for the support girls! As of right now, his parents have not offered to help pay for anything. I do agree that if they are helping with costs, we should compromise a little more. A lot of the people they want to invite are coworkers (FI and his dad work for the same company). FI does not want to invite all of them either. It's not a company picnic, it's a wedding reception, OUR wedding reception!

    I hadn't even thought about this. Do you really have to tip the officiant? And how much would you tip them? How much would you tip the wedding coordinator?

    FI and I are planning our AHR reception and already have a guest list of about 350 people for dinner. We are trying to cut down the list. FI's parents want us to invite even more people, and we got in a fight with them about who we are inviting and not inviting. Is anyone else having this problem? We feel that ultimately, it is our decision to invite who we want, and we shouldn't have to invite some great aunt that we don't even know. I am so frustrated with them...

    I think those are really cute! I don't think they are too small, the size shouldn't matter too much. I would use them as favors/placecards and give them to everyone. I don't think it's weird that a family will get a bunch of them. I would add a tag with your monogram on it. I think those are a great idea, especially since you are getting married on the beach around Christmas, they kind of tie the two together.

    I think you should either give them to all the men who come to Jamaica or just to the gm's. You wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings by making them feel like the "not chosen ones" who don't get a glass.

    I haven't thought about this at all. Thanks for bringing it up. We are not having a ring bearer or wedding party at all. I'm not sure what to do now...

    I wear mine all the time in the water and have never had a problem. Give it a try, and if it feels too loose, than take it off. If your ring fits loosely, you might not want to wear it.

    I've read on some other threads about this that you are kind of hidden behind some palm trees (which works if you are stick thin!) and that the minister keeps telling your FI not to turn around until you are walking down. I'm sure you can work something out with Chandly once you get down there.

    Are you having an AOR? If you are, then I think you can invite people to the party that are not invited to the wedding as long as they are invited to the AOR. If you are not having an AOR, I think it would be more appropriate to invite only people who are invited to the wedding.

    I really like the page that Becks did. I am wondering if you give those to your guests to fill out, when would you do it?
  24. Anna83
    Thanks for tip! I was planning on buying from cheaptotes anyway, but since they're on sale, I but them today.

    I agree with trying to sew it in. It will be hot and if your feet sweat any, you don't want the tape to give out.
