Awesome glad you had such a great experience!

Yay glad it worked out for you. Now on with the planning!!

Congrats and happy planning!!

I wouldn't have thought about that either! I'm sure the guest didn't care too much...I think it's ridiculous that it costs more in the first place...it's not like it's more difficult for the post office to delive something that weighs 3 ounces more!

Looks wonderful....thanks again for the awesome template!! :-)

Oh wow that's really awesome congrats!

I was in Old Navy the other day...I asked a woman who worked there and she said she didn't know if they were having the sale this year and if they were, she didn't know when. I'll keep looking!

Ooh, great question. I'd also like to know the answer. Also, she used fake flowers...I'm assuming much less than $140 per branch and you can't even tell they're not real! Where did you get the flowers from??

hey...I was just at Michaels 2 days ago and they had leather passport covers and 2-packs of leather luggage tags in all different colors on clearance for 50 cents each (so 25 cents per luggage tag!) Can't beat that!!

Bet they are kicking themselves over that spelling error! Glad they are correcting their error for you!

We got black with silver font and I love them. I'm sure some people might have issues with plastic shot glasses but I only see the good. I will be sending Crystal some pics later and I can send you some as well if you'd like. Just PM your email addy and I'll send them out when I get home.. Awesome...thanks for the info...PM'ing you now

Welcome to the forum!! You'll be able to find amazing jerk planning anywhere in Jamaica! Happy planning!!

People will never be sad if you give them more food! I'd steer clear of anything that could melt though!

What a wonderful idea!

Beautiful!

I haven't purchased from them so I can't vouch for the quality or service, but I found an ebay seller in my own research with sashes $1 a piece with free shipping: eBay My World - linentablecloths Another reasonable site: wedding linens direct home page Hope this helps!

Ugh of course! Always raising the prices on something!! Thanks for the info!

test:stress!

Thanks so much for the info!! I was hoping some MDC brides would jump on here so we could start talking about wedding details! I'm anxious to hear what they say about the whole bars closing @ 10 pm situation :-/ I'm sure I'll be thinking of plenty other questions to ask! Have you hired your vendors yet (ie. Photographer, DJ)?

Thanks for the tips! Most of these things we try to ignore because we don't want to hear it...but it's absolute reality!!

Looks wonderful! I would definitely do both sides...especially since it's free! I've been talking to Amanda as well, was she able to give you any sort of deal or discount??

Who are you engaged to? Glenn Will this be your first marriage? yes Will this be your fiance's first marriage? yes Will you or your fiance want a pre-nuptial agreement? nope...we've loved eachother when we both had nothing, so we don't expect that to change! Are you going to have a Wedding Shower? If I'm lucky enough that someone throws one for me :-) I threw one for my sister so I'm guessing she'll reciprocate! Will You Have A Bachelor/Bachelorette Party? Again, not sure...but again I'm assuming there's no way my friends will let that slide! Who did you tell first? My best friends who we were vacationing with (they were downstairs evesdropping!) lol Big or small wedding? I'm thinking it will turn out medium-sized How many people are you inviting? Invited 100, expecting 30-40. How many do you think will attend? See above! Date to get married? August 13, 2011 Any people you will not allow to attend? No, we invited those we love and would love to have there! Song played walking down the aisle? Not sure yet...probably something traditional. What time will your wedding be? Slightly before sunset. Where are you getting married? Moon Dance Cliffs--Negril, Jamaica Where will reception be? MDC What food will be served? Delicious 5-course meal :-) ...our guests have several things to chose from What flavor cake and frosting? Haven't decided yet...maybe something specific to Jamaica, but also might play it safe with something traditional since we won't be able to taste it prior! What type of cake topper? No cake topper...just flowers! What are your Wedding Favors? A whole OOT bag. Not sure if we're having a specific 'favor' for the wedding day. Songs for dancing with parents? Again, we haven't decided yet! Are you having an open bar? YES :-) This was non-negotiable! What is your first dance song? I don't know! Describe your dress? No dress yet! Wedding Colors? Tiffany blue with accents of tangerine and fuscia. Describe your bridesmaids dresses? They will be short and Tiffany blue. Do you plan on having any children? Yes, my beautiful niece is our flower girl. She turns 3 3-days before the wedding What if your ex came running in and tried to stop the wedding? UGH! I don't even know. Things like that seem to happen only in my life though lol What if the groom's mom came running in and tried to stop the wedding? She would never--we love eachother! But I'd just hire my 6'0" brother to carry her out...she's only 4'8"! hahaa

Annies closes at 10pm and the sports bar at 11pm, I know that our friends will all want to stay up hanging out/partying (drinking) much later then 11pm, so what are we supposed to do about drinks? There arent any bars really close but because they are all paying for the all-inclusive Im sure they are expecting to have access to drinks whenever they want. Can anyone provide me anysight, suggestions either how it worked while you were there or what you think is the best way to handle this.... THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! Yikes...I never even thought of this...I'll be in the same boat...Maybe the party can be moved to one of the villas and the bar in there can just be used? idk...hopefully they'll make an exception and stay open later if we have the entire resort booked!
