Travel Agent Vs No Travel Agent
Because I knew the price was going to be too high for some of our guests, in our invitation, we said if you want to book with our travel agent, here is the price and dates. If you prefer to book on your own, rsvp with your travel dates and times. We decided we would forgo the extra discounts/free tickets to save ourselves the hassle.
We sent our invites out in November. I believe the majority of our guests booked in March and April. I had people call me the day before I left for JA to say there were not coming! Wasn't too impressed but whatever.
RSVP
Only received 30% of rsvp's back, most people called or responded thru our website instead. Advice for future brides: use email or phone number as rsvp. save on the postage.
Organized Events
I thought I had to plan a series of events on a daily basis. I organized a day trip to Ochi and a rehearsal dinner at my Uncle's! For the rest of the week...small groups naturally formed and people did their own thing. Don't stress too much on what everyone else is doing. They're fine!
Make friends with a driver and negoiate your group rates. Some will offer to be your driver for the week.
We made friends with the shuttle bus driver to Margurittaville - because our group would take up a full bus - he would arrange special pickup times for us!
Dinner Reservations
If you are staying on a resort, it may be difficult to schedule all guests an a la carte restaurant. Book on the first day and see what you can do. We tried to reserve small groups for all 3 restaurants but by the middle and end of the week - guests didn't want to follow a schedule and did their own thing.
Wedding Day Events
Schedule your day and time accordingly. We had a church wedding and a offsite reception afterwards. This meant longer receiving lines, more times alloted for photos, serving etc. Arranging transportation was a big <expensive> thing but if you are staying on the resort you should be okay.
Have Fun
Everyone that came down to Jamaica had a BLAST! Find time to relax and enjoy!! It will be worth ALL the stress in in the end!!

The rate would be $75 day pass + $18 per person.
You can have the family member call the hotel themselves and see if they can get a "local" rate day pass instead.
Hope this helps.

As long as your tour bus doesn't run thru this particular ghetto in Kingston, you should be fine. Not all of Kingston is bad...just certain areas.

Hey All,
Literally just got back home from a wonderful wedding week in Jamaica. Need to pack and get ready for the honeymoon. Having a destination wedding was the BEST decision ever. We ALL had the TIME OF OUR LIVES!!! The wedding day was simply perfect! Will post pics soon! People are already asking when are we all getting together again!!!
Chic Events Jamaica did a great great job - could not have pulled off the wedding without her. The church ceremony was beautiful, the offsite reception at the Grandiosa, while a little hot - was fantastic as well. Misha was also great to work with! The Iberostar Rose Hall is a fabalous place - you can't be dissapointed!
Will have full review to post shortly. Thanks to everyone in the forum for their great ideas! It was simply the best week ever!!! Will post pics soon!!!

I just started this work out today. With a little less than 2 months to go, I need to turn it up a notch. The level 1 workout seemed failry easy even though I was sweating quite a bit. A few hours later, and i'm starting to feel a little sore.
Will try to do everything....hoping to loose the last 10 pounds!!

indychic which ebay seller did you order from?
I went to B&J Trading - they only had about 8 large starfish left...a bit dusty and dirty actually, so I didn't buy any?
NJ, how many do you have left?

I was looking for this as well and had the same problem as indychic.
Going to check out the store on Spadina and see what's there. Thanks!
IndyChic - let me know if you already went!

Mine is supposed to be a suprise...even though I found out the date. Not sure if there is a theme though. Never thought of a specific outfit though.

Alright ladies...anyone choosing a reggae song for their father/daughter dance?

Hi Biasha,
There are Jewish people in Jamaica! I'm sure you can find someone local in Jamaica.
I found this thread:
http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...eddings-45356/
But you can also email the hotel to see if they know someone or contact a local wedding planner in Jamaica for assistance!
Hope this helps
