    Yes. We only had to mail 6, and only one of those were outside the country. Otherwise there is no way we would have done it.

    We sent a STD to people who we wanted to invite, though we knew they likely would not be coming. Then, on our website, we asked people to RSVP early only if they for sure knew they would or would not be able to come. We had a few people tell us (and FI's parents) that they would not be coming. We explained on our website that if you RSVPd NO right away, you would not be bombarded with future wedding mailings, but you would still be invited to our AHR. Anyone who did not firmly RSVP NO still got an invite. If we did not hear from them or heard that they likely would come, or that they were unsure, they got one. Everyone will get an invite to the AHR. So maybe you can do something like that? Direct people to your website. It is easier than trying to communicate what you want in such limited space. Many people will not check your website, but some will. That also might be slightly less offensive to your FILs. Then you may be able to limit the invites you send out. Am I explaining that correctly? I hope it makes sense.

    What a great collection! We have started talking about the possibility of a sweethearts table too. Undecided still, but this definitely is helping to sway me! Gorgeous!

    They were at Jysk. They have 3 sizes. The biggest we gave to my parents and siblings (all in one) and his parents. Then the middle size went to relatives and bridal party and close friends. They have smaller ones too, but they were a little too small for our bottles (which were a little large). We bought ours on sale... they were about $6 a piece. Expensive, yes, but like I said, we had a small group and hand-delivered. Most got the chests, but a few people got regular shoeboxes we spray painted brown.

    What about a laid-back celebration instead of an all-out AHR with just your families, especially the ones that could not come - parents and siblings, for example. You could just meet for dinner and look at pictures or something like that.

    http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/79993/post-pictures-of-your-invitations/110 I posted pictures on page 115 of the invites. If this is what you are after, let me know and I can pass along the invite itself when I get home.

    They don't do free items the way they used to. You can still find some stuff for free by googling, or get a good percentage off. Your best bet may be a groupon, if you want a few things still.

    Just for the message itself? Because I did them too and could send you what I have if you like.

    I did. I made them myself, but was waiting on getting the resort booked. We were able to book the week's trip first, but not the day itself until after. We are getting married in a small resort, off season, so I took a chance that would work out one day that week (preferably the date we wanted.) So our STDs had our wedding week on them, instead of the specific date. I have seen ones that just have month and location though; they seem to work fine. I would say wait, unless your group will have lots of people who need to book time off work way in advance. And yes, it is frustrating because some people, like shannonmarie, are able to book way in advance... others have to wait until a year (or less!) away. And you just want to get the ball rolling!

    What exactly are you looking for? I didn't see yours before. Maybe I can help?
  13. Peach
    We sent out save the dates a little over a year in advance
  14. Peach
    Thank you for sharing! Your pics look lovely! Would love to see more... I love your resort!

    My plan is to "trash it", rinse it out really well in the shower at the resort, and wear it again for my AHR a month later. I am just wondering if I will need to dry clean it before and after the AHR or just after.
  16. Peach
    Besides that, very few dresses actually are "ruined", from what I understand. Or am I wrong in this?

    http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=79477&vid=1&pid=445248032 Try that one... This is a little different. We got ours last summer and they are long-sleeved I think (and the boys are planning to roll up the sleeves after to keep it casual). This is the short-sleeved version. But it is a similar style and structure. This is more casual than ours... but you can see the bouts on plain white without a tie or jacket. Again, short sleeves though. But at least you get the idea.

    All the men for us... best man, fathers, and FI, are wearing dress shirts with pants. No vests or anything. At first I was not sure, but we are going to have bouts. I made them for free here. They are shells. We are getting one flower one included in our package, which FI may wear instead. I have seen pictures that look fine with it just on a plain shirt, and it adds something nice I thought. Just another perspective!
  19. Peach
    No, I do not think so either. Maybe just recommend people go to a certain bar on resort during that time. Or something like that.
  20. Peach
    Ditto. No idea about it being bad luck. I have heard about that BEFORE the wedding, but not after.
  21. Peach
    TOTALLY depends on your photographer. A lot of DW photographers are used to it; many even have a package where it is one of the "extras" included. Hope that helps.
  22. Peach
    That is a pretty good price, too.
  23. Peach
    Which Bahia Principe?

    Most of the time the dress is not even "trashed" that is just what it is called. Many brides have said that their dress was actually cleaner after the trash the dress than it was after the wedding itself. I hope that is the case... I am planning on wearing my dress to my AHR a month later!

    For people looking at simple linen pants and shirts for the men, I saw that Old Navy has started getting in their linen items now. Here they have the linen pants in white and khaki coloured. Just passing along!
