petals, what an inspiring planning thread. All the DIY projects that you did ... that birdcage veil, stunning!!! Everything looks amazing. Congratulations & enjoy your honeymoon.

#1 definitely, very pretty. It will reflect the light nicely.

Hi Ladies! I just stumbled upon this thread and got through all 53 pgs ... phew! I'm getting married Nov.21st at Villas Sur Mer in Negril, Jamaica. So far we've ... put a deposit down on the wedding & reception venue chose the menu chose the cake booked the wedding photographer decided on center pieces decided on color & theme decided on the wedding party (2 BM & 2 GM) bought my wedding gown - OTR monique lhuiller for $900 barely tried on! chose groom's & GM outfits bought 1 BM dress chose groom's wedding band 38 ppl booked at the wedding venue so far. I passed on the STDs since we sent out an email blast in January informing most of our loved ones of our decision to have a destination wedding & of the date we chose. I bought my invitation paper & am waiting for it to arrive this week so I can print & send them out asap. I feel like i'm super behind with these tho Glad you ladies are here! Happy Planning to everyone

A year in advance is not too soon. I think the more notice you give your guests the better it is for them. A DW is like booking a vacation after all. Although it would be really nice to send hand written save-the-dates on Mexican postcards w/ Mexican stamps don't feel pressured to send anything out if you haven't finalized a date or place! I am getting married in in Negril in November & I am sending out my invitations this month.

I know I have read that you can send the STD out up to a year out but what about the invite and the RSVP. I really would like to a head count more than a month out. For the head count my FI & I emailed everyone & put links to the resort where we are having the wedding & my two other options (accommodating various budgets). We recieved prompt responses. I had to badger a few key ppl who didnt get back to me but it seemed to work out well.

Wow! The photos of Tensing Pen are beautiful. thanks for posting them. I found a great wedding planner who suggested another beautiful location on the cliffs, Villas Sur Mer. So I'm hoping this one will work out!

Hi Ladies, Its been a while since i've been on here. My year to date just past on friday! Username: Jens Name: Jen & Dave Location: Villas Sur Mer (hopefully, just waiting on a few more details) Wedding: 11/21/2009 Happy Planning ladies!

Thanks so much for the post, there are some really inspiring photos here!

I agree w/ what JUSTUS2. It's not a stupid idea at all. This way you can spend time with your friends & fam but have some alone time to enjoy your new hubby.

Hi Ladies, I am planning to get married in Negril in November 2009. Looking for another location on a tight schedule ... yikes! The Tensing Pen looks like an absolutely amazing wedding venue but the only drawback is that only a few rooms have AC. I was wondering if any brides that have had their weddings there have had any complaints from guests re:no AC?

Hi everyone my name is Jen & I am getting married on November 21 2009 hoping to find a new venue for my Negril wedding. Unfortunately my original venue fell through changing the terms last minute to something outrageous. Needless to say im on the prowl & optimistic to find a new venue in Negril. Im excited to be part of the community, thanks for having me!
