It's a wonderful place for a wedding because you won't get the teenagers that go to Seaside and the other beaches closer to central jersey. We like it for that reason. It is romantic and actually you should check into having a wedding at a B&B. I would imagine the price would be significantly lower and some of them have just STUNNING backyards/gardens. I think you made a great choice! =) Thanks for the recommendation. I will definitely check out the inns and B&Bs when we are down there.

I have never been to Cape May either. It will be my first time when we go down there this summer. I did make my monogram myself. I created it in illustrator. If you have the program you can do it to. I didn't know how to use illustrator (and really I still don't), but I found a tutorial online (Design a Grungy Circular Logo | MyInkBlog), and followed it and created my first logo, and then it took me two days to create the finished product. A lot of trial and error, but I did it. Thanks for the props. If you need any help let me know.

Cheers, Meli After the devastating earthquake there were a couple of threads here about how you could use your wedding to help Haiti. Those discussions made me realize that I really wanted to do something to acknowledge and ideally help the people of Haiti especially considering that my wedding is on the same island as theirs and that I have friends from Haiti. I decided to order small personalized crafts from Haiti to use as wedding favors. This would give my guests something small they could take home and remember the wedding by; while, at the same time supporting the Haitian economy and contributing towards the livelihoods of local artists. I spoke to a friend of mine in Haiti who sent me some ideas. Here are just a few of them: I settled on these painted paper weights. Our initials and wedding date will be written on the back like this. I've placed my order and should be getting them the second week of May. I'm so excited! Meli, thanks so much for the wonderful idea. My FI is Haitian, and I have just been racking my brain to think about a way to not only incorporate both of our cultures into our wedding, but to find a way to somehow use our wedding as a kind of fundraiser for Haiti. This is a wonderful idea and the money will of course be going to the people that need it. Thank so much for sharing.

Wow, such a great review! Thanks for sharing!
