We're also including both our bands in our wedding budget.

I'd love to join ladies, but all the dates in the past (this one included) I work (night shift)...hopefully there will be one in the near future!

My planning's going great. This past Sat was the deadline for our guests to put their deposits down to get the early booking bonus and 50 ppl paid! We have about 15-20 more that will book later this year. Next thing will just be getting FI's outfit and the wedding party attire. I'm getting very excited

Pictures look great...Congratulations!!!

good times : summer

We're not doing OOT bags, the only thing I've ever wanted to get for our guests are Bubba Keg travel mugs. We'll give everyone one to enjoy for the week and that'll be enough. A lot of stuff in an OOT bag ppl bring themselves anyway, I know that my guests would expect it and I don't really think they'd use a lot of what I would put in it. Travel mugs are something they'd definitely use!

just discovered this...thanks so much!

Pictures are awesome...you look great!

That is such a fear of mine...part of me just wants to go and get legally married here without telling anyone, then i can avoid all the overseas paperwork.

Just starting to work on mine...this thread is great! Keep it coming ladies

Your pics are gorgeous...you look absolutely stunning!

We have 40 people booked already and more deciding later this year! I also think we're going to be renting out the Steakhouse for a private dinner reception...just in the midst of pricing this out to see how much everything will be. I'm getting so excited!!!

They look great...love the colour!

I went through the same thing. We didn't put a deposit down for anyone because I didn't want to risk it. I made my own invites so I had everything ready and once I got pricing, FI spent a couple of days making them and sent them in the mail. Our guests received the invites with all the info and still had 3 weeks to decided if they wanted to put a deposit down. We weren't expecting a lot of people, but the last day to put the deposit down is actually today and so far 40 have booked! We have quite a few people that are going to hold off and book later this year. The people that wait just might not be able to get the group rate later on, but when it's closer to the date they might also be able to get a last minute deal. I don't think you really have to worry about which tour operator to use, they're all pretty much the same. I'm going with Sunwing/Signature but have also travelled with Signature and Transat. They all provide pretty much the same services, might just have a few different perks.
