Wow you ladies have been busy little bees in the past 3 days.. Happywife and dj3985 and ally 1521 congrats and welcome to the boards. Happywife..3 times wow hope everything works out this time. What is the name of the resort you decided on where guests can decide AI or not if you already said sorry didn't see that post. Dj3985 cute STD idea Hclibby & Missjali both ur BM dresses are great.. Missjali your logo is amazing I love it even better FI loved it. Rayne first off we obviously will be electing you president of the OOT bag support group..hahahahaha.. Yes my colors are gonna be the coral and the mint thank you.. As for a gift for hubby not sure if getting gift for day of but I was thinkin of getting boudoir pics if I spelled that correct for him.. Wanted to have a really nice personalized welcome letter in our bags..hangover kit, chap stick, cups of some sort to keep drinks cool, key holder, sunscreen, bandaids, resort map, wedding day itinerary..not sure what else.. wanted to have a meet and greets the first nite all guests arrive maybe at one of the bars or restaurant or a sit down welcome dinner and pass bags out there..if everyone e will be arriving too many different dates then leave in rooms

Still trying to finalize between navy..mint..grey.. luke them all leaning towards mint

Makes sense will put my thinking cap on

]absolutely beautiful!! Love your dress. Congrats you looked beautiful on your wedding day

Not sure but will le u know if I come up. With something. .do the gifts have to match can mom's still get the pearls?

I actually love coral and grey was one of my choices ..Coral is my color. Coral is pretty with navy too I think

Great. Job! Love that you made them mini magnets. .what are you going to do for invitations?

Oh okay those colors do look nice together

My FI same way he's the one pushing for here. I am going to have to go suck it up and go maybe will start off with a small one 2 -3 days or something. I don't think I can do a whole week just so terrified. Yellow is a nice pop color. That's cute dress code packages.. I'm not sure of a tie either. My FI is always so hot he already said make sure we have an arch or something for him to stand under on the beach. true indeed less stress than a "regular wedding" but, still has it's stresses. teal/aqua and grey I like..your colors are the fuscia and teal?

Jessica im not the best with colors either but i've seen those colors together seem very tropical great for a DW

Im gonna check this out..need to start losing but suck at diets

Mrs Smith you'll do 5 or more im sure of it.. there are many useful threads on BDW to comment on.. even better once you can see the pics

Manly tropIcal colors hahaha... they used to have a lighter brown Oh okay no wedding party. Less headache. .lol.. that's nice including everyone being a part of wedding. All white pics are really nice

Wow! Funny his mom never being on a plane. Before planning a DW I had no idea so many of my family or FH family had never been on a plane.... Cruise honeymoon sound amazing im so terrified of cruises need to get over it.FH has wanted to go on a cruise for years

Atleast you have a variety. .are you going to put in oot bags or have a flip flop station? I was thinking if having guest wear a certain color as well but not sure now. Turks is a lot more expensive than some other islands however I did give guest 2 yrs of notice if our intentions of having a turks wedding. All that will be able to join us we are delighted to have those who are unable will be missed but it is what we want! 13 days is amazing wish we had that long. Where will honeymoon be? You are so correct warm..tropical drinks and beach we are all lucky will be fabulous:-)

I like both with and without the belt both beautiful! !! The belt does add a pop though AHMAAAAAAAZING!!!!!!!! you looked perfect love the dress congrats to you guys you looked so happy

Lovely! !! I live the top rouching if I'm saying that correct

Don't worry Mrs Smith it'll go by in no time. The boards are very addicting. Congrats on your engagement!

Great if that's the date you want. . You can include your grandfather by haviing his picture in your bouquet or something similar. Im still trying to include FH's mom i was thinking of doing her picture somewhere or a tribute in program.

I actually was looked at Turks at first... I have always wanted to go there. I changed my mind about having my wedding there because it is a Beaches. All you girls are so nice picking places that are family friendly to accommodate your guest!! I have a few couples with kids. I really wasn't sure what kind of response I was going to get when I told them Adults Only. I am very lucky that I got a very positive response from all the parents! They actually all Thanked me for "making" them go on an awesome vacation without their kids. Yes, this is true the website is pretty good you can plan everything. I love being able to see all my choices especially since I was unable to do a site visit. I have my own children so although, I do want family friendly for my guests it is more so for my own children. Wouldn't dream of having my wedding without them being there. yes, I will have to just stock up during the year.. I'm not sure what color I would get for the guys, but probably the tan or grey. maybe even black. Well, I haven't sent out the invites yet however we have a few people who have booked from the STD's we sent out roughly 150 give or take a few more or less, we sent to the same as we would have if it was an at home wedding even though we knew most wouldn't make it. We didn't want to exclude anyone. When I send out the invites it will be to the same people. We have had many complaints about cost and inconvenience however, I'm learning to deal with it. We gave people more than enough time to save up and to get time off in advance. We notified friends and family of the destination wedding even before booking so in total it would be about 2yrs advance notice.

I totally agree.. I admit in the beginning I felt bad since it was away and there were MANY complaints but now I feel as you do... I missed it this year and am so pissed wanted to stack up for the wedding and possibly put in OOT bags since wedding is in May my loss.. 36 WOW!!! I am soooo jealous.. too funny the baby said Shoes as her second word!!! expensive habit she's already blooming lol.. Well Jessica that's a start, things will fall into place. WOW that SUCKS!! WTH weren't you notified?? You are absolutely right lousy customer service! I hope all works out for you!

I think that is a great way of honoring your grandfather by having your wedding on his birthday since he can't be there physically. You should keep your date and she should understand she does have enough time to come up with a few days off. Rayn Drop I wanted a Sandals resort as well. We had to choose beaches instead due to the children being allowed. St. Lucia was my first choice and then Turks & Caicos my 2nd. I have never been to St. Lucia just seems so amazing! that's a must on my list supposed to go back to turks for 1 yr anniversary but maybe I can get a trip there in between. (already planning a wedding anniversary before the wedding ha ha ha) No I have not been to Beaches/Sandals before have you? Great!!! So which day are you going with the Wednesday?

Thanks MissJali, Yes, that will be a great souvenir I was thinking the same wanted to put our monogram on our bags for keepsake.. It should be this is quite a blow. $2000 extra is a huge burden on the budget. But, don't let it deter you continue to be happy in your planning! I am sure everything will turn out just fine and you will have the day you want!!!

AMAZING! !!!!!! Congrats on your wedding Day! !
