Thanks for the great tip! I am going to do some running around this week, Ill share if I find any great deals out there

I've gotta head to zellers today! thats a GREAT deal! Ive been reading through this form and it seems to be alot of chit chat... to save some time reading through, does anyone else have any recent finds that they would like to share?? I cant believe how helpful this website is! what a great idea, and the brides are so friendly too! Thanks girls

I'm not exactly sure what look you are going for, but My son will be just shy of 13 months at my wedding, and the wedding party is wearing linnen suits, so I used www.studiosuits.com and they have childrens sizing.

Hi Ladies, I too am getting married in January 2012! January 7th to be exact. So far, I have booked the trip in the lovely jamaica, at the breezes trelawny resort. We have also ordered all of the attire for Myself, my FI, and the wedding party. We have purchased linnen suits custom ordered from www.studiosuits.com By the time we had added on all of the custom details his suit came to 149.00 (Shipping and taxes included). It was a great deal, and the suit looks GREAT! We have also ordered shot glasses that have our logo lazer printed onto them! So far, we have 63 booked (including us).. which is making the price for us climb as well with the reception dinner, we are paying 20 per head for a dinner with all of the guests (which everyone tells us not to because the resort is AI)

I am interested in the Hibiscus bags, I would need all 5 packs though... are they still available?

Hey Ladies, I just wanted to see if there were any other January 2012 Brides out there?? I am getting Married January 7th 2012 at the Breezes Trelawny in Jamaica.

Peterborough is a lovely area! we visit there often, my FI fathers company does the farmers market on saturdays!

It didnt work for me either

I am not asking mine to pay for anything, they are still paying off their student debt and they are standing by my side because I wanted them too, It is not their responsibility to pay for a party that I dont really need.

Yes, you do need the long form birth certificate.. it doesnt take very long, you can have it expressed to you and it will arrive within 5 business days, I had to get my son's for his passport, and I had it shipped via express, I sent the request in monday at 3pm, and It came in the mail the next day!!

Planning a cruise or excursion could be pricey if you have alot of guests. I know that my wedding size is 65 people including myself and my FI, so I probably would not be able to afford something of that nature. If you have the means to provide that sort of entertainment then it would definately be alot of fun, but as most have said... It can get quite hot at these locations, and the guests might enjoy some downtime to do what they please until your reception!

Well, What I did was I sat down with a travel agent and told them what time of the year that I personally thought was a good time to go, and then we went from there... for example, Cuba is very cheap, so it was definately an option for us... however, we found out that weather was not ideal during January when we wanted to go, so that quickly changed our minds... look for one who specializes in destination weddings.. look up popular sites, and then youll quickly learn what you like and dislike... ask others for advice like you are doing now too! I am going to Jamaica, it was affordable and seemed really nice...

Well, I am originally from Brampton, But I am now in North Bay finishing up school... I guess this is where we are settling down, as we have recently purchased a home here.

Thanks guys!!

I am terrible at this, especially now that I have a new baby, hes all I want to talk about!!

I love both of these centerpieces.... I have not even discussed centerpieces yet with my wedding coordinator! I havent thought about the finer details!

How did you do a DIY luggage tag? On cardstock? Would love to know... and how are you doing your OOT bags? Like what goodies are you putting in with them... I really would love to have these, but I think they may be out of my budget.

I just went to mine, and neither do we there's always Canadian Tire.

Thank you ladies, I had been looking 2 weeks after having my son, and well... it was REALLY flattering.. and it was a very reasonable price too! im having the neckline changed to a sweetheart.

I designed the shirts myself, and took them to a local sportswear store who does custom printing, there are also a few places online that do it... It was 18.00 a shirt (really cheap) I just sent him a picture and he made it exactly out of what I sent. You can look at this website and design your own (it is where I got my pictures from) I just found somewhere a little cheaper to do it for me. http://www.bridalpartytees.com/designs/category/Bridal+Party/Bridesmaid?gclid=CMH4iLPTtakCFcO8Kgods3ptPA For my FI suits, they are linen, and very very light... they came out amazing at a meer 149.00... taxes and shipping included! I got them from www.studiosuits.com. They have a custom option and it is practically fool proof, the jacket needs a little tailoring, but really, compared to the 300+ I would have spent to get it here, I dont mind having to make alterations! Hope this helps.

I am just outside of Montego Bay, in Trelawny.. The resort was cheap and family oriented, which is good for us considering we have many friends, including myself, whom are still students.. and we also have quite a few children coming. They offer a kids camp that does a circus class and flying trapeeze lessons!

Well, I have all the attire ordered and it has all arrived, including mine and my FI attire. I DONT have flowers yet, the resort offered to supply these for 300 (a pretty good price!) But I am undecided if I should go with them, as they wont know the color scheme until the day, or if I should just purchase real touch flowers. I have booked a sound system, rather than a DJ... for the dinner I am undecided because they wanted 1500 for the dinner, or 18 per person.. which isnt bad, but seeing how I am at an AI resort, many of my guests feel I should just take over the buffet rather than shelling out money for a dinner that could be free. (I am a 4th year student in the Nursing Program and Have a new baby and a new house that I have to pay for, so I think my guests are having my best interests at heart)... because of the financial aspect, I dont know if I can afford to do OOT bags for my entire guest count, but I know forsure I am buying them a personalized deck of cards... incase we run into some inclement weather or for the plane ride back. Also, I have purchased my rings, Mine is a channel band, with the two outter channels as princess cut white diamonds, and the inner will be princess cut black diamonds. I have my hairstyle all picked out and ready (I can do it myself, but as a part of my package I get my hair done for free, so again I am unsure of what to do because I know that I like the way I can do it, where as If I go with them, who knows what I will be getting...) I dont know where it will be held or what to expect, and the wedding coordinator has kind of left this information out, so I will email her in a month or so and get the details all ironed out. OH I also purchased tank tops for the bridal party that are personalized... I will post a picture of all of this (other than the rings) I pretty much just need to make up my mind on these and figure out if wedding programs are appropriate or not, really, everyone will know whats going on... its not like I have a big agenda to follow... it will just be the wedding, possibly dinner, and reception to follow.... I dont know, I guess I just feel overwhelmed lol.

WOW all of these flowers look so amazing, after going through all 10 pages, I have alot of options to look at! Thanks girls!!!

LOVE these hangers... i think i will get one for myself! thanks for sharing

These pictures came out amazing! DId you have to pay extra to have an outside vendor take photographs? Which resort was this at?
