Oh no! I've changed my mind on our honeymoon week...we're looking at El Dorado Maroma now...it's smaller than the Royale, and I think after a crazy first week with 50 friends/family we'll want something totally relaxing where we won't have to move much! The Royale is gorgeous...what room type are you booking?

Thanks Jacilynda!

We are doing the iPod thing too. Right now I am going with a few songs while people are arriving, then the BM's song, my song, Signing of the certificate song (Signed, Sealed, Delivered!), and then the recessional. I'm going to do a site inspection next week so I am going to time the walk to see if I need a song for the BMs and one for me or just one for all of us.

Anyone looking for mugs that aren't worried about baggage weight or have a small group, there are those freezer ones (the kind with the coloured liquid inside) at Zellers for I think it was $1.69 each. They were in turquoise, pink or green. I would have loved to get them but I'm already overboard in weight and with 50 guests....LOL.

I waas at Costco earlier and got 20 large fake-Shamwow's...one for each guest for drying off after getting out of the pool or sea...I think 20 was $16.99 CAD.

Excellent ideas...I will mix & match. My bags are going to be so heavy no I'm already a lost cause!

Good ideas to check on what the resort offers...I'll do that before ordering anything. There are 3 kids so I think I'll get the duckies for them...great ideas! THANKS!

In every room of the hotel our group is staying in there is a jacuzzi tub, and some outdoor suites have an outdoor jacuzzi tub too...so I was thinking it might be nice to include something for the tub in our OOT bags.

 

What do you think would be most used / cutest option? Or do you have another suggestion? Thanks!

Sure, I'm game! I'll check his colours and email him this afternoon to see what he has to say!

I'm turquoise & red...what shade of blue are you?

I think you can pick your colour of tee and colour of font...I think you can upload to him what you want written if you want a specific font too. I thought the price was pretty good for 1000.

 

That's what I thought too...welcome dinners are usually at the beginning of the trip so golfers will have them for during their stay to use.

 

I was thinking I might get mini ziplock baggies then print up goofy labels...something to get a good laugh.

I think I might bite the bullet and order from ebay...you can never have too many tees!

Cori...shoot! I didn't think about that, and yes, I will probably end up wanting to fill it too! I did order the largest size, the size one smaller was sold out, but dont ask me why I'm in a hurry, my wedding isn't until November!!! I'll post about them when I get them in. Just glad to have made a decision to cross off the list!

I found a guy on eBay that will do lots of 1000 for around $120 plus shipping.

 

I can't decide how to present them...in a little baggie with a customized label for in the OOT bags, or put them loose in jars on each of the tables at the welcome dinner for anyone who wants them to grab...? What were you thinking Erika J??

I've been looking for custom golf tees for my OOT bags...I want to get them customized with our names & date...has anyone had luck with a good vendor for this? Thanks!

I instead bought the large totes with long handles from papermart...they only come in bundles of 25, but 50 large only cost $51.18 plus shipping, and I could get all the same colour. There is a large selection of colours...check it out!

I'm so excited, I'm staying there next week (at EDR)! I'm going to pick what room cate for our honeymoon, but we're leaning towards the infinity pool casita...it looks pretty nice! I'll take lots of photos while there and share when I get back!

Hey leannebv...I didn't get a PM from you, but yes, he is interested in working another wedding if possible!

 

Hoosier fan...this would work out great! We arrive at AS on the 15th, wedding is on the 20th, yours is the 21st, then EDRBride is the 26th!

 

So far I am planning turquoise Chinese lanterns for the reception tables, plus small lanterns on the little tables in the "lounge" area between the dance area and the dinner area. I priced out making chair bows but it didn't really work out to be any better than renting them. I'm also thinking about going to Walmart and buying tiki torches there instead of renting them for the ridiculous price they charge so we could always share costs on that too?

 

Keep in touch you two!

Great pics! What a nice place to have your photos done. I lived in Budapest for a year a few years ago and it's so beautiful there!

Thanks ladies...I kinda thought it would be an assortment. Back to the drawing board!

So I'm wondering if anyone has ordered OOT tote bags from Oriental Trading...I am interested in the large tote hibiscus ones, but are we able to specify what colour we want or do we just get an assortment? And is it the same with the Large bright tote bags at OT as well? Thanks!

Thanks so much Missy!

Hey Missy...how was the temperature in November las year? Was it windy on the beach in the evening...too windy to have a beach reception? Thanks!

Lauraandmatt...is it okay to enquire what the cost p/p is you paid? Or did you just pay a flat fee for the boat? I'm still looking for something but don't really want to spend more than $50 p/p as we'll be having a minimum of 50 guests...
