    Sounds like that might work!

    Oh mine is 10/22 For AHR I think you can go with a more traditional time frame for sending invites - which is six weeks. If you have guest that you are considered with needing more time then I would consider Save the Dates. Or if you don't want to do both I would say just send out invites when you think it is right. I sent out my DW invites a twelve months prior - which seems to be further out then a lot of girls do.

    Its going! I spent last year brainstorming and buying - now I am trying to focus on executing some of my plans. Been getting projects part done this weekend. Finding I don't have all the supplies I need to finish any of them LOL but at least I am getting things started! So I forget -- do you have a date set? When and Where are you getting married??

    Wohooo -- it is all coming together for you!!

    If you are close enough to your guest to do this I think it is a great idea!! I also really like that you are still doing something for them in their rooms! I have so much stuff and have to take it with me I don't know how I am going to pack it all LOL

    http://www.orientaltrading.com/ Sometimes you can get lucky at Dollar Tree I happen to find some at Christmas Tree Shop Last year. Sometimes groupon has deals for vistaprint that makes getting them reasonable. Umm That is all I can think of at the moment

    That is what I was going to look into right before I thought of asking someone I know to do it. Are you having any guest? If so maybe they will be able to get some good shots for you.

    I haven't seen any pics besides what is on their website - but I have heard from multiple sources that the pictures are ok. Not bad but nothing with that WOW effect. I asked my WC about this ... she said that they change all the time so they don't release until the month prior for the following month.

    Yay for another Sandals girl Welcome!!! I can't speak for your resort but I did inquire about the local photo packages in St. Lucia. They only offer one package - it was $2000 for 4 hours with a CD of images. You could add additional hours for $300 per hour. I actually looked on Sandals website to get the name of the photos then emailed them directly asking for prices (without mentioning that I was getting married at Sandals). They sent me their price list which was actually decent, then almost immediately they sent me another email saying - if you are getting married at Sandals we only offer one package. Their "normal" 4 hour package was only $1200 -- I found this a little annoying - clearly Sandals is still making some good money with the new program!

    Wohoo Welcome!! So exciting to see another Sandals Girl. I don't have any of this set is stone quite yet but here is my plan (for now LOL) I'm going to have them do my hair and make up for the day of ---- I am going to have my hair dresser do some stuff after I get my dress so get a clear idea of what I want... I will bring lots of pictures with me so they can duplicate it as well as possible! ---- I know they use mac makeup so I am going to go to Macy's for some consultations - I will then buy the basics - They can use their make up (if they have the right colors) or they can use mine (if they dont) but I figured I will at least want my own lip stick for touch ups. ---- I am bringing someone I know who is a photographer - She has agreed to do it for her stay and flight. She will be bringing someone so they will pay for their own flight (although it is most likly going to be another photographer)

    Hello - How are you? I had sent you a private message right before they re did the site.. So I do not know if you got and/or replied to my message, because they were all deleted. I was wondering if the lanterns are still available and how much would they be to ship to 02476? Thanks

    Hello - do you have pictures? Thanks

    Hey there - I am so sorry I missed your post until just now! YAY for another Sandals girl Did you have your call with your WC yet? I'm not sure what the answer is to your question about contact with the officiant but I was told by the WC that I can customize the ceremony script 100% if I want - so you should be able to do the anything you want! When is your wedding?!?

    These have sold

I know it takes two days to process our application for marriage, but we would be flying down Saturday the 4th then leaving the 11th (am shooting for our ceremony on the 10th). Like how terrible/strange is it to basically have the honeymoon first then the wedding? Keep in mind it is just the two of us anyway I don't see a problem with your plan,... if you two are okay with doing your honeymoon before the ceremony that I say go for it!! We will be at the resort for a week before our wedding which is 5 days before any of our guest... We might end up leaving the resort a couple days earlier then what we have booked and do a cruise instead (I am working on the details to see if it will work out) but right now we are booked at the resort for a week after our wedding but so are some of our guest - so if we end up just staying at the resort we are sort of doing the same thing I am glad your date worked out!!

I've emailed one photographer and now I need to email a few others to get some comparisons because DBF thinks that photography is ridiculously expensive for just the two of us! all so exciting!!!! I hope they can do your date

(DBF said it has to be later in the year rather than May in case I get cold feet on the elopement and want a wedding...he comes from a farming family so if we have a wedding it can't be during the summer months which is a bummer because I've always pictured a summer wedding...but our anni is in October and we'll be somewhere warm so it's a good compromise!) P.S. You get the best of both - A perfect fall wedding on a tropical beach = AMAZING

Ohhhh Which resort are you looking at? I T&C was on the top of my list - but I had decided on Sandals - There is a Beaches there but we decided that we didn't want kids there so we went with the other top choice of Sandals in St. Lucia --- and YAY for another October girl! Did you pic a day yet??

However, after talking to my transportation guy, I have realized that my calculations on Google Maps didn't take into account real world traffic, getting to the Blue Venado itself from the highway, etc. In reality, it could take more than double the time (about 1.5 hours)!!!!!!! My friends are saying that it will be okay, that it will be like a party bus. However, I think that's just too much to expect from guests. Argh!!! Aww that does stink - I would say just go with the vibe your friends are giving you and make a party out of it
