Congrats! I loved Grand Palladium when I stayed there!

ideas from BDW : DIY

I understand where you are coming from, my wedding was New Year's Eve. Diff the worst time to travel, cost wise. Are you wanting all your guests to try and stay at the same resort? Are you planning any group activities? As a potential guest, I would personally find it a bit frustrating if I got a STD to a destination wedding, but there where no details on the place. Again, it's me personally, but I'm a planner. Even if they can't book until 10 mo out, that's only a few mo away. I would want to start checking out the place, and what the cost is averaging.

St. Patricks Day : Green

Have fun!

food : mexican

I can't help you on who to talk to b/c we had a minister. But, if you google "sand ceremony containers," tons of different types come up. We personally used a picture frame, I love the way it turned out (pic in my planning thread). Good Luck!

Have fun!!!

That's a great idea! It's always hard to travel for long periods without the little ones getting restless!

I think for a DW, invites are more of a formality. Usually, you will find guests will make their decision on coming after they receive the STD. Those that are coming, will start making travel arrangements. Are you including your TA info on the STD? If not, you should def put it on your website, and direct people to there. I think you def should have all the wedding info on your website. The invites should really just go out a few months (2-3 IMO) before the wedding.

Sounds fine to me. This is should be for current/active BDW brides. She hasn't been on since March. I say give her until the end of the week, basically 2 more days, then switch her spot over to Surprise.

I'm not to sure about Brandi (bnbrmy) - she hasn't posted since March. krishna or Ania, have you been in contact with her? I may remove her from the list if we don't hear anything in the next couple of weeks.

I am re-posting this list. Please make sure you follow ALL directions at the end of the post if you would like to be added.

I would allow more time than that, or use UPS/FedEx. The USPS took almost 3 months the last time I sent something to Canada. Have you heard from Ania? Is she still an active member? In honestly don't know who signed up first, I would have to go back through all the pages in the thread to figure out when I added each of you. I really don't have the time to do that right now. If you have the time, you go go back to see when each of you was added. I think it would be a good idea to post locations.

The first one listed looks great on you, that would get my vote! However, your 3rd picture didn't show up .

That's great Wendy! I was kinda wondering where he was, LOL! I haven't checked this thread in a while. Glad to hear he has made it to you, and is making his way through all the brides! Have a fabulous wedding!

Lots of people to waterfall TTD pics, they always seem to come out awesome! Most often, people use Dunn's River Falls, in Ocho Rios. But, that won't really work if your in Negril (obviously). Check out YS Falls- http://www.ysfalls.com/, or Mayfield Falls - http://www.mayfieldfalls.com/ Good Luck!

Congrats Ladies!

Beautiful dress! I got mine at Macy's, they have a large selection. Mine did not have the bra attached, it was like a high waisted pair of biker shorts. The worked perfectly under my dress. I didn't need a bra, b/c of how my dress was made.
