magnets by: Invitations by Dawn - Unique Theme Wedding Invitations and Accessories

I thought it would be easier to just post your photos of your STD'd here! I just finished mine so I'll start! Magnets: "All you need is love stamp": Michaels I also wrote the Resort name and wedding website on the back in gold pen to match the stamp and used an excato knife to cut slits for the magnets.

This is exactly what I am working on for mine! Great Job! Any tips??

off subject! sorry! is dreams offering you any centerpeices for the reception?

Honestly, I am sooo thankful for this website! I don't know how to do anything wedding related and everything on heres been a big help! Have a good day :-)

So the sashes on the chairs, you ladies will be buying at home and taking them to the DR to get put on the chairs? Sounds like a good idea. I wasn't planning on doing anything like that but it looks gorgeous! what about that aisle border??

I definetly want to take my guests on the Catamaran to Soana Island too! It just depends on how many guests we will have. Should I pay for them? Cus that would get really pricey!

jmcauley: love love love your dress, its gorgeous! so simple. thats how i went with my dress! I tried on all those puffy dresses too with the detail and beading and i had to laugh at everyone because it wasn't me and I was drowning in them! hahaha! I ended up choosing the most simple dress which was waay more flattering and it was actually under my dress budget so now i get so spend more on the jewelery and head peice!! yay!!

I need help! I dont even know where to begin! I don't know if I should use local travel agents or just find some here online but I know i need one!

I just wanted you to see little moments that the photographer caught during the cermony that I think are important. Then there are photos on the beach they took alone together. Enjoy!

your going to look beautful ;-)

I am considering doing that as it lends itself well to south asian traditions. I was also thinking of getting hand slaves to match. I like that idea of wearing HAND and foot slaves. I'm having a hard time finding them online because they should match eachother right? Are you planning on wearing them on both hands?

We are doing the 4pm ceremony, figured it would be good to do before it gets dark. We are doing the ultimate package - using the onsite photographer. Is anyone else using the onsite photog? Am I crazy for not bringing my own? eeekkk! Your not crazy! Trust me, my sisters pictures came out bbeaautiful! Have you seen the photos? Would you like me to send you some pics??

Well I did make sure everything was where it should be before all the guests arrived as MOH for my sisters wedding. The tables were all set up, but we added a few personal things to each place setting. Maybe my sister didn't talk that over with the wedding coordinator before hand, I'm not sure. But I think its a good idea to have someone make sure everything is where it should be before everyone arrives for dinner...ya know?

i asked Deyanira the same exact thing. I said, I need a schedule of that day. she said ceremony :615 Cocktails:615(which confused me, but i think she means after) the bride and groom go off to take photos while the guests enjoy some cocktails. For my sisters wedding in the gazebo she took off for photos after the cermony and we went upstairs to the bar in the lobby where they have couches to lounge around on. They handed out champagne immedietly after the cermony as well. Dinner: 7:30 *remember this gap also gives time for your MOH to decorate the reception with any extra details you want for centerpeices.

yeah I'm not jewish either, its just the name. but its reaaally pretty! Much better then the arch picture they send you first!! Do any of you beach brides know if you can pick where on the beach to get married? Bcus I've seen a photo where just the beach is the backround, and one where they have a palm tree in the backround. I can't make up my mind on what time to get married! She orignally said 6:15, the sunsets around 6 615 in october there....so it would probably be too dark for pictures?! right? She said 4pm is also available. But I know getting married in the sunset would be beeeaauutiful! Congrats on picking your location! That was the toughest part for me too! But i know ive made a good decision ;-) I believe all the "wedding menus" are the same for each location unless you don't pick a private reception. The menu options have been posted a few pages back incase you haven't seen it yet. Happy planning!!

oooohhh reeeeallly?? I didnt know they had the white linen thing! Pleeease send them to me! I've seen them in some wedding photos so I'm really excited about that now! [email protected] BD pics sound fun and like a good idea but I dont feel like I could take pics like that with some stranger lol. Anyone with the courage should do it though, such a good gift for your future hubby ;-)

Sooooo this is a dumb question but...what are BD pics??

Oh nsbride ur getting married on the beach!? awesome! So how do you feel about the picture they sent you of the setup? I'm not diggin it too much. I emailed Deyanira asking if they had other photos of beach weddings there or if maybe they had other arches/decor to get married under and also if they allowed rose petals in the aisle. If its all they have though, it doesn't bother me enough to not get married on the beach because thats always been my dream wedding! I don't mind not wearing shoes, its part of the experience. But I'm definetly changing into a shorter dress and wearing fun heels for the reception!

i cant find anyone whos getting married on the beach :-( I should just ask Deyanira but yea, ill probly have to go barefoot. Thanks!

PAY FOR YOUR WEDDING DVD! I'M TELLING YOUR ITS AMAZING! My sister was married there last year and they did such a good job with the video. When I first watched it, the 1st minute of it made me cry!!! hahahah! They edit it really well and add music. Hers was by, Marvin Gaye: so in love with you. She said it was there when she got home! If your having a reception for the people who weren't able to come a video will help them feel like they were there! And make them jealous because they show all the scenerie too! Hope this helps!

hey ebredhawk, Sounds like your getting married on the beach. Are you wearing heals on the beach??
