Loi just realized why I said I would only pay an extra half hr because instead of paying for an "official" cocktai hr...I am just habit everyone go o which ever bar at the resort they want to and taking the credit that I would be paying for a cocktail hr and applying an extra hr to the reception. Now it makes more sense...sorry for the confusion...I was confusing myself!!

Im sorry correction...ill have tovpay for an hr and a half extra

Reception definitely has to be done by 11 pm. Just an fyi. Im doing a 5pm ceremony (it'll be in feb. So sunsets a little earlier ) 5:30-6:30 cocktail hr and the reception 6:30 to 11pm which ill just have to pay a little extra for the extra half hr.

what alterations have been made on the dress? And is there anything wrong with it?

When is everyone asking for their rsvp dates to be received by???? Chula- how did you order your oot bags already when you dont know how many people are coming yet??? Thats been my situation because I want to start buying stuff for them but have no idea yet how many people are coming.

Melissa, Not sure if she is still on this forum or not, but I ordered these dresses too and they are at lizfields.com. Hope that helps and welcome!

Evelyn, Thank you so much for all your prompt and specific responses! THey are a huge help! I am def going to do the parasols then...I mean $5 per parasol vs. $80p er bouquet X 7 bridesmaids!!!! I will save an amazing amount of money! Glad I got to see your pictures to get a visual! THanks Lescase- I am too a feb. 2012 bride...which date are you getting married???

COuld you use the pool floats at your resort??

Evelyn, I am too doing just the parasols for the girls....did your bridesmaids like them? How was it to transport them? And which website and size did you get? lol thanks

Evelyn, You are so beautiful and thanks for sharing! I was wondering, did you have an actual rehearsal the night before? And I am also getting married before hand and have a symbolic ceremony, I was wondering you said during your ceremony, you signed papers...were those "fake" papers for everyone to think it was foreal? Because I would like to do the same thing. Looks more legit lol And fellow brides: when did you ask for your rsvp date to be? For example, my wedding is Feb.24 and I wanted to send invites out in mid August and was thinking the rsvp by date to be Nov. 1??? I would love to know sooner but was wondering what everyone else is doing?

Alaina, That would still work because my wedding isnt until Feb.! Let me know when your done everything and we can talk! THanks

THank youy Alaina for your review and your pictures. Your day looked beautiful! I am also doing tiffany blue and was wondering if there is any decor you have left that you would like to sell? And where did you get your chair sashes and shoes?? They were so cute.

haha...that is too funny. To have the rehearsal dinner and actually have table blocked off is extra. It is on their website with their NEW wedding menu. I think it is something like $15 pp to do....totally ridiculous in my eyes since all you want to do is sit next to your guest that already paid for the food? So stupid...what are ya gonna do tho?

Lindsey, THanks for posting those videos on youtube. I too had my fiance watched it and it was definitly exciting and got to see a different view of the resort. That was very thoughtful of you.

Chrissy, You and your pictures were beautiful!! DO you know where you got your flower girl dress?? It was adorable!

Is the box blue?? ANd if it is do you have a clearer pic of the exact color of it? Thanks

Rtownsend: How much did the snorkeling trip cost to take your bridal party if you dont mind me asking? And do you remember what the name of the antibiotic you took done before hand? (i want to ask my doc for it) thanks

Hey Ladies....Just came across this thread and love ETsy too! I have to share our save ave the dates. The signs were made from MyPrimitiveBoutique. ANd on the back they say "thank you".

Carboholic, You looked so beautiful and your hubby looked so handsome on you wedding day! Congrats! I am too doing teal for my colors and was wondering if you have any decoration or decor left over you might want to sell? THanks

Leann, You had a beautiful wedding and great reviews from both you and your new hubby! I know I'm like the 100th person to ask but do you mind sending me your spreadsheet as well?? My email is [email protected] . Thank you Also, for those that did not or are not doing a "cocktail hour", where are you sending your guests while you take pictures??

I was wondering the same thing about the rehersal dinner?? Does anyone else plan on having one with outt paying all the extra cost? Also, do you actually get to reherse too? ANother question for you brides, do you have to pay extra per person after 20 ppl for the alcohal/bar?? And if so does anyone know this cost? Thanks!!

If they are still available do you think you could post a picture of what the bags look like opened? THanks

Our wedding is Feb. 24, 2012. Here is our picture we used for our save the dates....
