  1. I am not much of a matchy matchy person either, so I say do what you want! It's your wedding!
  2. Those are so cute! Isn't wedding star fabulous. I actually know the owners and have been inside their massive warehouse. I could stay in there all day just checking everything out haha! Everything you have done looks wonderful! I especially love love love your shoes!
  3. We knew that pictures were extremely important to us so we were planning on spending a fair bit of our budget on photography. We also wanted all the memorable moments to be covered, such as getting ready, the cerermony, reception ect. We ended up hiring a photographer and when you hire him you hire him for the day,not just for a specified amount of hours which I really like.
  4. We aren't doing a private reception. At the resort we chose it costs a fair bit of money to have a private reception. We felt that the money could be better spent elsewhere. We will have our dinner then probably just hang out until the disco opens and continue things there.
  5. Both of my parents will be walking me down the aisle and I think FI parents will walk down the aisle before everyone else. We only have a MOH and BM so we will have some people filling up the seats, but I think most importantly its what you want to do. I think either way is fine!
  6. Hi there, With us we weren't sure if either our parents were going to contribute. We decided to make a budget based on what we could afford. A little while later both sets of parents told us they will be contributing and the amount. We never changed our budget based on that though, just thought of it as less money we have to pay out of our pockets for things.
  7. We sent out STDs and then about a month later we sent out an information card that included price of the place, exact dates, and that RSVPs could be done through our wedding website. We found that most people just let us know either through facebook, or text, or email that they were coming. We are only sending out invites to people who have said they are coming. I think with a destination wedding there is no right way to do it!
  8. What about some nice passport holders with luggage tags. You can find some really nice ones on Etsy that are not to expensive.
  9. It seems like this is becoming more common. I have been invited to a few bridal showers that were at restraunts and I have chose not to go to a few because of the price. I think that guests will either come if they want and pay the price or they won't.
  10. We chose to give our guests an estimate of the price when we sent out our STDs just so they were prepared for the cost. We have had a few people say they won't be coming because they can not afford it but I think if you give them lots of time to save ultimately it is your wedding and the only people who need to be there are you and your FI:)
  11. Well if its any consolation for what you have gone through...you look great in that dress!!!
  12. We are getting married in January 2012 and in January of this year we sent out our save the dates. We chose to only put the month, January, rather then a specific dates, which I'm really glad we did as our departure date changed and we had to change our wedding date. We haven't sent out our invitations yet, and I'm not even sure we will as everyone has either told us yes they are coming or no they arent. I guess its what you feel comfortable doing.
  13. Hi there. Try searching on here for the forums for the resorts and you will be able to find tons of information. Also, we found it useful to write down was was most important to us. That helped us make our decision! Good luck!
