    Welcome! Happy planning!

    A DW at an all inclusive can cost anywhere from a few thousand dollars up to 20 or 30 thousand, depending where you go, the resort you choose, and how much money you are willing to spend on your wedding. We found that making a list of what we wanted in a resort helped us narrow down our choices. We also used a travel agent for advice about resorts and locations. Good luck!

    I had to wanted to wear barefoot sandals but we are getting married in a gazebo so decided against them. We will all be wearing flip flops. I had considered doing barefood sandals for pictures but thought it might be to much of a hassle to try to put them on and what not.

    This is a tough spot to be in. All the locations we fell in love with we adults only and we knew there was a pretty good chance that some kids would be joining us. Based on that we found a resort that was kid friendly. I guess you could say we did compromise on that a bit, but looking back Im glad we did. We have decided to go to an Adults only resort for our honeymoon. Its something you could consider.

    I was in the same predicament. My grandma means everything to me, but due to health reasons she can't fly. It was really hard when we decided to have a DW and knew she woudln't be there. I will have a picture of my grandma attached to my bouquet. She also gave me a handkercheif from when she got married that I will keep with me (still haven't decided where to put it) on my wedding day.

    We first looked into having a Catholic wedding, but like you, found it to be way to much work! I'm glad we decided against it! Good luck with your planning!

    My FI will be wearing flip flops. We wanted to keep it casual and he already had a perfect pair from his brothers wedding in Mexico.

    I think they are both beautiful dresses and you could go with either!

    If you try using the search there are tons of ideas and templates you can use from other brides who have posted theres. Thats what I plan on doing as Im not very creative either!

    I also got my FI stuff and his groomsmen stuff from Tommy Bahama. They have really nice stuff and it was really reasonably priced!

    We are just doing our OOT bags. We figured it would be enough for our guests and we arent doing a traditional favor. Plus, I didn't want all the wedding stuff to take up all my space in my suitcase.

    There is a thread with all that information, try going to this thread! http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/75453/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-oot-bags

    I really wish they would decided what we really need as everyone gets told something different. I asked about three times and were told our BC and Passports needed to be notarized. We went ahead and got the long form one, which you can get online from most provinces, depending where you were born you need to get it from that province, FI was born in Ontario, I was born in Alberta, we could get his online, but not mine.

    I think everyone is told something different. Not sure where you are from but I am from Canada and we payed to get the long form birth certificates. We also had to take our passports and get notarized copies from a lawyer. I emailed copies of these to Chandlynn and she said they were acceptable. Other brides have done other things, so we decided to make sure we had all the proper documents. Id rather pay an extra $100 dollars for notarized copies and birth certificates then to get there and not be able to legally get married!

    I agree with jmastr05 All the weddings I have been to it just is normal for guests to take centerpeices with them following the reception. This being said, If your stuff truly is sentimental and has special meaning then don't use them for your centerpeices. Even if you put a card stating that you dont want them to take the centerpeices there still is a chance they may go missing or get broken (you can probably blame alcohol for that!). I would suggest using them somewhere else where they wont go missing, such as at your head table or cake table perhaps.
