JayKay

The chairs are steel with navy cushions. I have a picture somewhere, I just can't find it at this moment. I think they still will look better with the chair covers then without. We leave in one month! I am starting to get very excited. Had a little snag yesterday. Got a phone call from our travel agent who said our flights have changed slightly. Our direct flights are no longer direct and we have to make a stop in Cuba on the way their and way home. Not that thats the big deal, its that its adding almost 4 hours on to the travel time each way.

Your flowers look amazing!!!

Thanks girls for all your advice. Turns out that my FI told his mother that he needs to call them and tell them not to come. So I guess he did and they supposedly are no longer coming. I finally decided that I can't really control whether or not they come and all I care about is my family and his family is there any any extra is a bonus, so if they come they come, if not even better!! haha

I think its mostly Canadian Brides because we know just how cold January will be in Canada and decided to escape the drastic cold for somewhere much much warmer I have had a little bit of wedding drama lately. When we were first sending invites out my FIs mom and dad wanted to invite so many people that we told them they could invite one set of their friends. They choose who and I sent an invite. Well this first set of friends basically told us a week later then were unable to make it. So FIs mom and dad once again thought they would invite someone else, so I sent an invite to the second set of friends. I didnt hear anything from them, not a single word, so I assumed they werent coming (we had an RSVP date of July 30). Last week they decided to call our travel agent and tell that they were going to be coming to our wedding and needed to book travel. Our travel agent told them our group booking was closed, but they could be added on for a higher price. They said they would get back to her. They never did. Instead, they called my FIs mom and said they were booking through someone else and would be at our wedding. And since this happened, the first couple decided now they wanted to come too. I was really upset and mad when my Fis mom told me that these four extra people would be coming and she told them they could still come to the wedding events. Im just a little bitter and angry that they waited so long. We are four weeks away from my wedding. They could have at least said yes they were coming but would be booking their own travel. I wasnt planning on any extra people coming as we have already giving our final numbers to our wedding coordinator and have basically finished OOT bags with the number of people who had booked by our booking deadline. Do you think it would be rude to tell them they no longer can participate in wedding activities but they are more then welcome to come for the week anyways? I dont even really know these people anyways. My FI thinks we should tell them they are no longer invited to come. Whats the appropriate thing to do?

My ering is also the very same setting! I had a really hard time deciding on a band between the prong set and channel set, but I did end up going with the channel set as I think it fits better together. Both styles are beautiful though!!

I invited you!

We are taking all our OOT stuff, assembling them down in Jamaica, and then handing them out. We only have 12 to do so not a lot of stuff to bring. I like the idea of handing them out at the airport.

I think more and more brides are doing this. It still allows their fiance to be apart of the dress picking without knowing which one was picked. I can't even get my fiance to go shopping for stuff for himself, let alone come dress shopping with me!

We aren't doing wedding programs. I think they are really nice to have, but I just didnt want to do them as we are having a fairly small wedding and everyone knows everyone already.

Wow, that looks like it will be super helful!!

Thats what I was thinking, depending on where you have to ship it to will determine if there is enough time.

I have added you! Just need to know where you live. Where do you live? I want to make sure it will be enough time for the bride ahead of you to get it to you on time.

Congrats Mrs!! Glad to hear everything went well! I want to see some pictures!

I would email Chandlyn about that, because I booked my wedding well about 14 months in advance, so they do book in advance. Here is Chandlyns email address: [email protected]

Welcome!! Happy planning:)

Welcome! For us choosing a location and resort was the hardest part. I would suggest sitting down together and making a list of what you want from a resort. Ex all inclusive v non all inclusive, size of resort, amenities provided at resort ect. Good luck with your decision!

Welcome Heather!! Have fun planning:)

That sounded almost identical to my checklist. We chose Jamaica as its safe (my family has never travelled to the caribbean) and its relatively easy to get legally married there (no blood tests, translation ect). As for the specific resort, we chose the Gran Bahia Principe in Jamaica because of the ocean side gazebo, its all inclusive, have heard the food is good, offers a variety of wedding packages, and fit our budget. Our travel agent was the one to recommend the Gran Bahia Principe to us. Try finding a Travel agent to work with.

Welcome!! Happy planning:)

Welcome! Try searching for that specific resort to find the specific answers to your questions, or you could email the wedding coordinator at that resort!! Good luck with your planning:)

I am in love with the envelopes you sent your pre travel brochures in!!!

Your photos are stunning!!! Looks like you had a lot of fun taking them!!

Cute pictures!!

Those look great!!
