I'm loving the 11:11 am on 11.11.11....too cute!

I took the measurements for my fiance. If you follow the directions on the site exactly, it isn't too hard.

akamikey11, I doubt the resort will let you put up an itinerary, but they will probably keep copies at the front they could give to guests who mention they are there for your wedding. If you have an email list of your guests, you could email everyone that they can get a copy of the plans at the front desk of the resort. Just a thought. No DJ here, but did the wedding CD and CD for the photographer over the weekend....felt so relieved to have it done! Girl, you are WAY ahead of me if you are already packing! Haha! Every time I get on this forum I feel like I am light years behind you gals! I am thinking I will probably do a seating chart to insure I get to sit next to my closest people..ha! I know that sounds terrible, but there are people I never see, and I want to make sure I get to spend time with them. But, my seating chart will be easy since we only have 22 or 24 people coming. I am still up in the air on the guest book. I can't seem to find what I am looking for. I found an old school polaroid camera (where the picture comes out of the front of the camera as soon as you take it), and I was planning on having the guests get a picture, tape it in the book, then sign next to their pic. A page per couple./ family. But, the traditional guest books all have lines for signatures, and scrapbooks are all loose papers that get inserted in the plastic sheets. I wish i could find a binded book with blank pages that we could use as our guest book.

Well, now I feel much better about having it at the buffet! BeachBridein11, did you make a reservation at the buffet restaurant with your group, or just show up?

I just asked this same question in another thread, but is anyone making a reservation for their "welcome dinner" before they get to Jamaica, or is your WC telling you that you do not make the reservation until you get there? My WC first said I could make it 2 weeks in advance, and she is now saying to make it when I get there, which I do not feel great about....

Ordering these now! I don not know why I am just now finding this thread! But, thanks for sharing!

Question for you ladies, are you having a welcome dinner/ rehearsal dinner at the resort? I want to have dinner with all of our guests the night before the wedding, and since we have over 20 people, the only restaurant that we can choose is Poseiden (sp?), the seafood restaurant. My wedding planner originally told me that I need to book the dinner 2 weeks ahead of time, but now she is saying to wait until I get to the resort. The thought of not having a reservation ahead of time makes me nervous. Especially since I am sure that the other 9-10-11 weddings will be planning the same sort of dinner, and they will most likely have over 20 guests. Does anyone have more information on this? Can I make the reservation before we get there? Thanks!

Congrats to all of you!! I am a Jamaica 2011 bride, and my wedding is in 27 days at the Grand Palladium!! I will post a review when I return. Happy planning to you all!

Wow! Every detail was beautiful! Congrats!

Cute! How long did it take you to get your bags after you ordered them? Wondering if I would have time since we are leaving in a little over 3 weeks....

So, I had to brag on Rashel for her recent help. I emailed her (since she is a Jamaican native) about possible alternatives for our wedding reception, and she had me multiple options within a matter of hours! She isn't my wedding planner, so she certainly didn't have to help me with this, but she did! And she did it with the best attitude possible. I can't wait to meet her in a few weeks and give her a hug for how wonderful she has been !

I am having the same issue with one of my best friends! I am thinking of having her do a reading during the ceremony. On that note, does anyone know of a website with good suggestions for ceremony readings? And when in the ceremony would you have her do the reading?

Subbi, you have probably already tried this, but Zappos.com, Piperlime.com, and Shoes.com are all great sites that offer free shipping and returns, and they have TONS of cute shoes. Good luck with everything!

LindsayRaz, I read your review before I booked! Too funny that you are now on this forum! Thanks for sharing!

I love the coffee idea too! Thanks for sharing!

I am wearing my rehearsal dinner dress which is a white cocktail dress. Still bridal, but not as formal. And much more comfortable! Haha!

I definitely want to do the spice thing for my AHR. Anyone find any other cute sayings? I also love the saying in the wedding booklet....going to copy that too! Haha!

Great ideas!

My fiance's suit! Sorry for the poor picture quality. Camera phone...

I second that! BeachBridein11 deserve an award for being so wonderfully helpful to all of us!!

Okay ladies, I am in a pickle and I need your help!! I have not received final confirmation yet, but I am pretty sure that BeachBridein11 was right and my "Beach BBQ" will not be on the beach at all! In fact, it will be on the sand volleyball court!! I do not want to pay $55/ person to eat on a volleyball court! Trouble is that all of the other reception locations at the resort are booked. So, I am considering looking into a location not on the resort. Even if it was a nice restaurant where we could have dinner and do toasts, etc. I need options!! Any suggestions? I am less than a month away, and I need to get this figured out ASAP so I can print out the agendas for the weekend, etc. Thanks, ladies!!

OMG!!! This is exactly what I needed. I am less than a month away and I haven't done any of this!! You just saved me!!!! Thank you so much!!

Thank you!!

That is great information! Thank you so much! I was looking at some of the other things you have done on here, and you are so creative!! Nice work!! Your wedding should be just gorgeous!!

We did the custom fit and went with the measurements from a pair of jeans that my fiance loves the fit. The pants came out perfect and fit exactly the way his favorite jeans fit! We love it!!
