Time is ticking...how is everyone's plans coming along? The board has been quiet

I cried when I read 0/3 sisters going. But thank God for your momma. Sorry to hear that.

Excuse the last part, keyboard issues that I did not see.

If yolu do all of the above with the Appetizer A option and no open bar at your cocktail with approximately 20 guests you are looking at spending about $1226 for bon fire, fire dancer, cocktail (A), and disco. I say go for it! Thats low vs. $1400 for private only (with dj for four hours). Would WWould kkkkljhkhkjhkhkkkmThere

Oh noooooo. Yikes!!! I am so sorry. I learned that destination weddings are of course easier than traditional, but what makes it so stressful is you are thinking about whose coming, bailing, complaining, etc. everyday more than a traditional wedding in your home city. When people bail it really alters your plans. I have seen this happen in traditional weddings too, but not as much bailers. The wonderful thing to keep in mind is you have a beautiful beach background view with you and your hubby. I know its hard to face family bailing out, but I guess its best not to expect anyone to be there. That was the principle to begin with. If they show up, than great, if not...there is absolutely nothing you can do. Not even pay their way...they still may not go.

K thanks. Never thought of 1.00 store. That's a great place! I did not know sandsational sold sand. Even better!!! Off top but I see ur a November 2011 bride...are you ready or can wait? I can't wait!!!

I think it is perfectly fine that you mentioned the beach with $30 fee or outside resort with $100 fee. If you don't people will complain and the issues would be worst. I feel like we are responsible for sharing the warning if people decide to veer off to other resorts. I think what you did was ok. Maybe mentioning the beach would have been I guess better, but not neccessarily because people will complain either way. i think it is a lot worst not mentioning it when you have over 15-20 guests because you can no longer keep track of what everyone is doing. Its cordial and informative that you did so. To me if I was a guest, I would rather know that so i can calculate the fees to see if its worthwhile. most people are gonna "try" to get the best bang for their buck regardless. if you dont mention other resorts, its not to hard to find out with bookit.com and other websites. most people dont want to use your recommended travel agent without you mentioning their are others. when they go to other agents, they end up getting all kinds of alternatives....its a nightmare for me too...i feel the same way as you. I just dont think you not mentioning the other resorts would have made a more positive difference. Especially if you have over 20 guests. out of those 20 at least 10 of them would be trying to do their own "research" and 10 would be complaint with what the bride wishes and desires.

How is everything? I hope you are having fun now. I am trying at this point. 3 more months!!!! Wohooooo.

Yah!!! Welcome back....as far as the people wanting to stay elsewhere...lately no probs but I let it go. What God says will be, will be. I'm realizing people will do what they want whether you hold their foot or not. It makes the planning process discouraging, so try to move past it. According to Nicole as long as majority stay at Iberostar they will work with you meaning 6/4, does not have to be 9/10.

I love the frame, but since it does not come witha container are you buying your own supplies for ceremony? Do you pour sand in after sand is in a vase?

Hmmm I'd like to know I am a Thursday bride

Awww your big day is coming...Congratulations and I wish you the best of luck dear

Any upcoming weddinngs...I know we have September and November...any August or October weddings...wohoooo let's keep the board ALIVE!!!

I was thinking the same thing

Congratulations Awww I remember chatting with you a while back and it seemed your day was so far out. You are almost there...45 days thats definately worth counting down!!! How many people you think will end up going? Are you doing private? No shower yet, maybe Sept/Oct for me

I doubt the airlines would allow them, but I'd rather ask then "sneak" them in. I think previous brides have had the luck, but I don't want to take that risk so I will find out. Good to know that they are not easy to find in Jamaica.

The people who are going will say something but you may have some "surprises." Not many, but a few (3-4).

Does anyone know if sparklers are allowed?

Yah I love yall!!! Finally some positive talk. Let's do this. I'm November 24...I am so ready...let the count down begin

What is the standard decor/flowers? Is it tropical flowers or roses? Thanks for answering about the cake favors

Hello ladies, Does anyone have a sample of their program What place did you have solo vocalists, sand ceremony, readings etc.? I have the resort's but its very "basic." Please share if you can. Thanks

Regardless of your RSVP day, people will do what they want.

Does anyone know if the resort provides cake favors (servers, knifes, etc). What about toasting glasses? With the headtable being included as part of decoration, is that anyway you want?

Loving this

4 months! Yahhh
