great job. I especally allow the trip tips page, I was trying to figure all of that misl info out

Your initial list was great. It helped me get going

Congrats on the engagement! I agree with several of the other posters. An experienced wedding travel agent will be a god send.

I wanted to stay away from passpost and message in a bottle invites because they have become so over done and are often "cheesy" feeling, yours are anything but. Elegant, Unique and detailed.... I FREAKIN LOVE THEM!!!! You may have made a believer out of me.

I love it. I am inspired

If I would chose I would go with Your sister in law, that's special for you both and she seems to be calming to you, which is what you will need. This is your time and your day and pushiness about a spouse not in a bridal party is childish; I have been to weddings where my husband all 3 of my children at the time were in the wedding, did I care nope! Because why we are new friends the women standing with her have been friends for life as it should be. As for you maids they need to realize this is about you and they are there to support you. Otherwise they need not stand beside you because creating unnecessary stress is not the job description. You deserve to have a MOH you can run to, who can step up and be the reliable, helpful and calming person you need. I have a maidOH and a madenOH that HATE each other and have since middle school but I promise you this they love me enough to not stress me and work together for my benefit because that's what MOH's BM's and BFF's do! Sorry for the long winded was I am just angry for you.

Adorable

Thank you do much for sharing! Sounds perfect carries the spirit of traditional video but new and offbeat.... Love it!

Just the way you are - Bruno Marz and for semi traditionalist a beautiful wedding walk rendition.

Ohh amazing song... would not have thought of that one!

Okay so do you want gourmet all inclusive or are you okay with buffet? By great beach do you mean private/secluded or just beautiful. I went with an awesome travel agent, if you want her info inbox me, she walked me though the same questions, for us privacy and gourmet food was priority #1 we didn't want a large AI because we wante out guests to interact not break into splinter groups. Moon Dance Villas is a small property sleeps 40 and older and overflow guest will be at their sister property. Additionally all of the guest amminities for the wedding are included. So at the service they seemed pricey but after breaking down costs at the end of the day it was far cheaper custom then a big resort plus it offers out theme of a BOHO beah wedding with 300 feet of private beach for our guests.

I like many DW brides are a bit offbeat, yet still a bit traditional. I am hoping to compile a list of wedding songs that won't make you think of every other marriage (and many divorces) that you have played witness too. So lets make a list of awesome wedding songs!!!!

I love it!!! We are gonna defiantly do this!

I'm defiantly in for a TTD!!! Looks fun and memorable

It looks amazing. Any wait till I can get to my computer so I can really see the details!

DWBride I'm in that same space. Where is your wedding?

I may have to do that. The issue is I am a Villa bride so there are not many active posts about my venues. I am working on it.

I went with the travel agent at destinationweddings.com gave my agent the feel for what I wanted then she gave me resorts and destinations that she felt would mesh. Then I lived on the travel websites for about a week and looked and every candid photo and read every review. I ende up with Moon Dance Villas in Negril. If you want my TAs info PM me. She is fab!!!

I chose moondance villas in Negril. For those reasons but the real question is what does budget mean to you?

I got one of the binders with two 2" rings. The front is for things that are in progress. The back is for things that are confirmed and set.

I so want to do a TTD session.

I really like #3

Welcome and Congrats. I'm new too and I love it here...
