    I think I'm going to put on the website something along the lines of Attire: beach chic or Island festive (haven't decided on the actual term yet) Ladies: wear your most colorful dress but leave the high heels at home! The ceremony will be on the beach. Fellas: Jackets are not required but please wear a tie. I'm not sure how to word that I don't want anyone wearing dark colors. We're going to be in the islands so I don't want any black/dark brown or navy. I want all the girls in bright colorful dresses and the guys in tan/beige/gray/light blue etc.

    For those that did not have a bridal party - what did you do with your bouquet when you needed to exchange the rings? I don't want a bridal party so there won't be anyone to hold it for me. I guess I could always give it to my mom/sisters who will be sitting in the front?

    Hi Everyone! I tried searching for this but didn't get the results I was looking for. I'm new here - just one month engaged! What did you say during the ring exchange? I am not down with the traditional "with this ring, I thee wed" so please share your story! Thanks!

    I'm glad I found this thread. I didn't even think about it. I just assumed I kept my e-ring on my left hand. WHen we looked at wedding bands, the lady said it doesn't matter if you wear it first or after the e-ring. It's all up to you!

    This is great, thanks for posting!

    great thread. My FMIL is on board with a destination wedding but said "oh but too bad you'll miss out on all the presents." I am NOT marrying my man for a toaster! LOL But my sisters and BFF plan on throwing me a bridal shower anyway. The "etiquette" is that whoever is not invited to the wedding shouldn't be invited to the shower but I am having a super small wedding. I'm not having a bridal shower to get gifts but to celebrate with those will not be able to travel down to the islands - like my 80+ year old grandmother.

    I was just wondering this myself! From previous invites I have received, it looks like the bride's name is usually first. But I prefer saying his name and then my name so I will go with that. I definitely feel whatever you like best and forget "tradition"

    I;m not having a bridal party but do want to include readings so I think I'll just a simple one-page program that I can put together in MS Word and print myself.

    Oh ok, if your guests are capable of coordinating their own activities, then I think it would be fine. I know my FILs (who don't even have their passports yet) would not be able to figure it out on their own. Good luck!!

    Ours will probably be 24 people including us 2 which I think is too small to justify paying for a DJ. I also just want only the First Dance. Hopefully, wherever we decide on, let's us rent the sound system too.

    I like an engraved money clip! My FI doesn't wear a watch and I always give him ties/dress shirts/wallets. He has a monogrammed tie clip already so maybe a money clip to match!

    Extended cousins are saying "I got my passport ready! I don't care, I'm coming!" I just laugh and say we haven't decided anything yet (which is the truth, just one month engaged but we know we want a super small wedding) I don't like the idea of people being there that I never see.

    I plan on doing a simple Welcome bag. My cousin included a bottle of local Jamaican rum and a nicely package of local coffee. I assume guests would bring the essential suntan lotion, advil etc. so don't want to pack extra stuff that may not be necessary.

    This sounds like such a great idea but maybe more complicated? Years ago, friends and I rented a house in Mexico and it was super cheap to stay. But it may be harder to coordinate travel between ceremony/reception sites? And activities/excursions for the guests?

    That's a good way to explain it. My FI thinks it would be strange to have two different dates, especially since the legal at-home date would be on the official documents ....
  18. pzl101
    This is something my FI and I are not sure about. If we got married earlier at home, he thinks it would be weird if all the official documents have a different date than what we would celebrate For those that got married legally at home beforehand - I understand you consider it just paperwork - but does it feel awkward/strange, that there are two different dates?

    My cousin went down the slide into the pool at her resort! The groom was SUPPOSE to catch her as she came down. Instead, he let her go straight into the pool. The pics were great and they loved it. I'm not sure if I will do it yet..

    I'm so glad I found this site. It gives me a better idea of how much a destination wedding would cost. May be cheaper than NYC but still it can add up.

    That's great you are having your own custom dress made! Looks good. Congrats!

    very helpful

    thanks for letting me know. i'm not a fan of carnations so this is good to know when figuring out how much to budget for flowers.

    I love the coral striped ties! The guys look great. Congrats
