For our guest book, I was thinking of making a non-laminated scrapbook of our engagement pictures and then having a question on each page for our family and friends to write in their answers/suggestions. Example: Have a picture on one page and at the top or bottom have a question that says " What are 3 things we should do before having children?" and leave the page beside that blank for people to fill in. But I think this may be time consuming for guests to write in, so I may just pass it around our families when we are home or bridal showers, etc.

I love the fingerprint family tree idea!.. Are you ladies taking this to your destination or just having it completed at home?

I'm wanting to have my Wedding Ceremony at the Cloisters and here is the info I have recieved.. O&O guests can use the Cloisters for a site fee of 3,500 for two hours / Non-guests site fee is 4,500 fr two hours and the latest time slot we can do is 1-3:00. Does anyone know of any work around for this time slot? We are wanting to book our wedding over a year in advance and have it during the middle of the week. But would love a later time slot so that we can have everyone go straight to our reception dinner following the ceremony. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated!

Congrats on your great desintation wedding experience!!.. And thanks for the tips on great vendors!!.. I have read soo many rave reviews on Luciano's, I couldn't imagine planning our reception dinner elsewhere!..

Aww.. Love the pics, thanks for sharing!!!.. Great idea for the favor bags and menu/table starfish.. Soooo cute!! I may have to borrow some ideas. ) May I ask if you rented out that certain area or if you just requested tables for your set number of guests and then paid per person for dinner+taxes and gratuity? How soon did you start communication with Luciano's for your reception dinner?

WOW... those look great!!!.. Thanks for sharing!!! I can't wait til I get my posts up so I can view the templates. )

Hello all Future Atlantis / Cloisters Brides!!.. My FI and I just recently decided on our plans for our 2013 Destination Wedding. (Thanks to our fabulous TA Barbara Vong, aka Babs, whom I found on this site.) We are now awaiting our group rates for the Atlantis and the available wedding dates/times for the Cloisters. I am soo excited about the whole process now and I think I've read every post dated back to 2009 that included the words "Atlantis" and "Cloisters". So now I am hoping there are new brides out there whom are planning their future wedding destination at these places so we can share our current plans, tips, ideas, and advice.

I just know I can be very picky and change my mind a ton of times.. lol.. But I have found that there are sooo many different styles that I don't know which I like the best, especially on me. So far I have started at Davids Bridal. I have visited 2 of them and fell in love wih one dress, but once I got home and looked at the pictures I didn't care for it so much. (I take pictures of every dress I try on, because after all, once the wedding is over all we will have is our memories and tons of pictures.) I'm going to start going to some boutiques in Atlanta, GA (Where my fiance is from) It's just a fun experience getting to be a bride and have all the attention of getting to try on pretty dresses. Also, after trying on dresses the past couple of times, I am determined to get in shape and be in a size 6 wedding dress and look good in a bikini. lol.. It just gives me more motivation. )

I would Love to see your pictures!.. ) My FI and I are working with our Fabulous TA, Babs, on staying at the Atlantis resorts and having our Ceremony at the Cloisters. I'm soo excited about our decision. But I haven't been able to find much updated information on current or recent brides.. Mybe I should start a new Thread. )

May I ask when your wedding is? My FI and I are in the process of choosing a date for 2013. We are looking at staying at the Atlantis resort and having our ceremony at the Cloisters at One and Only.

I was wondering the same thing... When should we send out our invites for a desintation wedding? And if anyone is doing Save the Dates... Do those go out before or after our actual wedding invites? I was thinking of doing engagement announcements to all of our friends and family and then invites to close family and friends. Is there a certain time after the engagement this is suppose to be done?

Thank you for your response!!.. How many people did you have at your reception? Do they put you at one huge table or multiple ones. Would love to see pictures if yall took any. )

Soooo pretty!!!. I've tried on over 30 and have not found the one yet. (

All I can say is GORGEOUS!!!!! Love your dress Irae.

Love your logo as well Brandy!.. Rebecca truly is amazig! I wish I had her creativeness.

WOW.. I LOVE this!!!.. When I try to click the link though, it says forbidden. (

I just wanted to check up and see if you could give me any more insight on the Cloisters and Luciano's? This is exactly my fiance and I's plans and seeing that you was just recently married there, any information would be amazing!! Are main big things we are curious about now is the Cloisters fee and what it includes? And also how much the wedding cake costs.

Since I am from Alabama and my FI is from Georgia, I thought it would be a great idea to make a meet the guests book so our guests will get an idea of who belongs to who with names and pictures. Has anyone else done this? If so could you post pics here on my thread of your ideas or what you have done. That would be Amazing!! Thanks Ladies!

Hello all my fellow brides out there!. And Congratulations!! I love reading all of the forums just to see where everyone is getting married. And haven't seen a thread such as this one. Mine: May or June 2013, and so far we are leaning most towards the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas and our ceremony at the cloisters. We are just awaiting more information from our TA and the wedding coordinators.

I was thinking of doing beach buckets as well at first.. But I too was worried about transportation of the buckets.. And if I put them all in one suitcase I was afraid they would get cracked and tore up before they made it to the destination. ( I know the airport luggage people aren't too kind with our luggage. But maybe this one be a great google search from past brides who may have had the same idea and great packing tips.

Opps.. I don't know what happened to my reply.. But Venus, you dress looks gorgeous on you!! I haven't seen anything like that yet.

I absoletly love this dress!! It looks gorgeous on you!!

Ahh.. Thanks! I'll have to go ebay shopping! )

Same here!.. That's the part of the wedding my FI says he knows I'll blow our budget on.. lol I'm soo obsessed with these OOT bags. Let me know if you find a post stating such.

Where do you find those starfish? Love them but have no clue where to look.
