MrsVaughn, It doesn't seem like you are alone with the family issues. I have definitely had complaints from family members criticizing our choice for a destination wedding. Luckily my parents have been great (separated) and my inlaws (divorced) have been okay. My FFIL was not going to come for the whole week (only a few days...and he has TONS of money) but we kept telling him how upset we would be if he didnt come for the whole week and he finally ended up booking. My FMIL probably isn't coming (who knows why...maybe money?) Anyway, I was kind of upset about it in the beginning, but as long as you and your Fiance have each other, that is what is important.
Katie, your dress is absolutely gorgeous and you look fantastic in it
AshManahan, That is absolutely insane about the napkins!! I thought that by paying for a private event, that is mostly for a set up charge, and I thought that would include getting napkins!! Do you get no napkins at all? or just not special napkins.... You could probably buy cloth napkins at home for a good deal....OR go to the dollar store and get pretty coloured paper napkins. I might consider doing that.
