Attached in PDF are a few snapshots from my cell phone of our invitations. We used blue and turquoise. Lots of details to share if anyone is interested! They are actually very shiny, but it's hard to tell because the picture quality is not the greatest...I think you can tell what they look like though. invitation pictures.pdf

yes, the wedding coordinator confirmed that she was talking about the wrong resort when she gave me the wrong information about the disco. it is available to rent.

And, she said, "some outside vendors are allowed" then said she only said that to find out which outside vendors I was using---so she can plan her day accodingly. Strange. I sent her an email, so we'll see! Sorry for the delay...work is very busy.

My question was: how far in advance do we need to reserve the disco for dancing after our dinner reception? Her response: Please be advised that this hotel no longer has a Disco. Really, no explanation. I am going to email her back but I wanted to see if anyone on here knew.

I was told via email from the WC at RIU that there is no longer a "disco" at Riu Montego Bay. Is there anywhere that the group can have a dance/reception after the dinner? We are not going to do the beach reception.

I am interested, too! How much? I am not sure how many I would need...probably around 60. I like the ones in the top picture. Where do you order these from?

After many discussions (and hours of designing) we just couldn't decide which invitation to use as the final one, so we decided to go ahead and use all three. Guests received a random invite and were all surprised when they found out that there were other versions out there. Some even tried to 'collect all three!" I chose to print each boarding pass on high quality textured card stock to make it durable, but give it some rustic charm. I also used a perforation tool on each one to make it feel more authentic. Guests loved these little details! Each invitation came in its own envelope and alongside the boarding pass invite we included a 'brochure' for the wedding. This brochure included details about the resort, how to order, a personal note from us, etc. Our guests seemed to really like the brochure because it answered all the questions they had and also got them excited about the resort. I think it is critical to have these for your destination wedding based on the feedback I received! Each envelope was handmade with brown linen textured paper and lined with forest green textured paper to give it a rustic look. Each one was wrapped and tied with green raffia that matched the envelope liner. This I placed into a mailing envelope. Here are come pictures, Okay - here they finally are! Here is our beach themed invite in the envelope: A shot of the back of the brochure on a pile of completed, wrapped invitations. Here is our jungle themed invite (my personal favourite!) Our final version - palm trees! Another shot of the jungle theme with a different shot of the brochure in the envelope (without the boarding pass). How did you get the jungle leaves? What type of file are they?

That sounds like a great idea! Let me know how it works!

I feel like I've been reading a lot but never have enough points to download anything.

So creative!

What did you use to make the outside covers? How did you get them cut so nicely? Quote: Originally Posted by Sarah

I have asked for information about this from the RIUMB wedding coordinator but have yet to receive a response.
