Hello.. .. I picked St. Lucia pretty quickly . . . we had been looking into going there on vacation but then went somewhere else - so when we started doing this whole wedding thing I looked at what Sandals had to offer ( that is we were going to go for vacation) I really liked that it all seemed so easy so I picked that for the location! 175?!?!?! Holy hahah 45 is even a good number! We only invited 22 people (11 couples) (parents, siblings, 1 best friend each and just recently decided to invite his Aunt (also god mother) and her date as well as one of my Aunt & Uncles) The only 2 we aren't sure about at this point are my two sisters (going as one couple) They are both college students so they need to wait til next school year to know if they can go. Your location sounds pretty... Mexico and Jamaica are very popular on this site! As for my invites I have no idea! I just sent my STDs out at the end of July and plan so send invites in October so I have a little time to think about it. My FI is an artist so I'm hoping he will be wiling to help me design something special!! With that many people I'd stick to something pretty simple for Welcome Bags. . . I think if you just stick some individual packs of things like Tylenol, Pepto, A welcome letter and something like that they would be perfect!! My Welcome Bags have been consuming my life HAHahah - Since I don't have that many to make I find it easy to keep adding things... I find things on sale or for a good price and I'm like oh I need those! hahah it's really bad!! I actually have little goodies I will be sending out every three months up to a couple of weeks before the wedding. I haven't been dress shopping yet only done a little on line browsing... not sure when I will go.. not really "there" yet for this! I don't really have a set color scheme... I just want bright tropical colors. I am doing an all white (or shades of white) dress code for everyone with an accent color of Yellow. My mom is helping me make a brooch bouquet. - I'm very excited about this. I'm not having a wedding party - since we have such a small group I want everyone to really feel like they are part of the wedding. However, just last night the wedding came up and My FI said something about how he should ask his brother to be his best man.. I was like umm we said we weren't doing a wedding party... he looked at my like I had ten heads and said "I dont know what a wedding party is but my brother should be my best man!" hahahaha sooooo I will have to bring this up again soon and if he really wants a Best Man I will ask my Best Friend who is coming to be my MOH. I already told her we probably aren't doing a wedding party but if we were she would be my MOH. Whew sorry this is soo long!!

I totally forgot I took some pics the other day of things I thought someone might be interested in.... All from Dollar Tree Cute bags that are a good size for a small welcome bag. These are cute for key card holders. They have little clips on them. You could easily attach a ribbon so they could clip them to their clothes or wear on neck. 3 pack fun scented hand sanitizer.

I know its on our profiles but maybe we should make a list. I'll start it . . .

Have you talked to your WC yet? My TA (who is a WC and a Sandals Specialist) told me that if I find a flower arrangement or a cake I like we can get that info to Sandals and they can make (at least a very close replica of) it for me! Might be worth asking if you really want something that isn't in the catalog.

It is a cute idea.. we should all do it?!?

It's going! hahah I sent my STDs out a couple of weeks ago so now I have to figure out my invitation. I plan on sending them in October. I have been totally obsessed with getting stuff for my Welcome Bags.... other then that the only thing I have done (besides come up with ideas) is book my room and date. Your wedding is in January - that isn't that far off!! You must be getting super excited! How is all your planning going?? Where is Now Jade?

I think a year notice is good!!

My thoughts are with you today!!

I'm getting married in October... don't plan on doing my AHR until at least spring(ish) time.... you could wait until the weather is nicer to do it.

Bummer... well at least you have something to keep you busy!

Yeah I wasn't really sure either... kinda why I thought it'd be fun if we did it here.

Mmmm sound yummy

Have any of you seen and/or joined the "Starfish Passing" Thread???? I think it sounds like a cute idea... I didn't join it yet because I actually thought it would be neat if our little group started something like this?? Anyone interested?

corona margaritas? Is that like a pre mixed thing? never heard of them

What do you ladies think of this dress? Too Much?? hehehe

Wine does make everything better!! hahaha at lease without it you know your cuts are straight!

Ohhh soo much Fun fun fun!! hehehe

and by done.. I mean worked on .... they are not done yet!! hahaha
