Yo You're dress is absolutely beautiful.

Very beautiful and perfect for a destination wedding!!

I'm so happy for you....fairytales are awesome!!!!

Super Cute!

Congrats!!!!!

Awesome, you just helped me make my decision!!!

Trust me I totally get what you are saying and of course nobody wants their wedding ruined or to even have the thought that a guest let alone a parent would ruin the wedding. However, at the end of the day that is your FI's father and in turn will become your father. If it wasn't for that drunk, you would not be marrying the love of your life. My father also has a drinking problem and has put my family through hell all 35 years of my life.....but NEVER in a million years would I not invite him to share in the most important day of my life because of his unsavory behavior. All I can say is that if you do not get along with your FI's parents and hold so much disgust in your heart, that is not a good sign and sooner or later it's going to affect your marriage in a negative way. In my opinion I think you should give your FFIL the opportunity to share in his sons special day or let your FI make the final decision and stand by whatever that decision may be. Just my opinion....or when all else fells make a pina colada!!!!

Best of luck to you Shay!!!! Have the time of your life.

Well I tried it again....let's just say I didn't get a group contract with Jet Blue...lol

Quote:Originally Posted by MissJali That's weird. I got a contract for 20 people. Did you call Jetblue? I did call JetBlue, but I thought it was weired as well since every other airline offers the program so long as you have 10 people or more. I prefer Jet Blue beause it has better amenities than most airlines. Maybe I will call again and see if I can speak to someone else!!!

Has anyone tried reaching out to Jet Blue about their group travel program? If so what was their response to you. I contacted Jet Blue and they advised me that because my group is associated with a wedding (and not charity, sports team, or church) that I'm not eligible for the group travel program. I don't know why it makes a difference if I can guarantee them 50 people will place and deposit and purcahse a ticket??? Oh well. I guess I will sign the contract with United Airlines instead, they gave my group a guaranteeed rate of $441.00 roundtrip so that's a descent price.

Quote:Originally Posted by pzl101 I bought my dress this weekend!!!!! It was more than I wanted to spend (isn't it always?) but I love it so much! I can't stop thinking about it! hotel group rates are confirmed, about to put down the deposit for the photographer and save the dates will be going out shortly! phew, progress finally! Awww, you said yes to the dress....love it!

This a very cute idea...I wish I could participate but I know I would never mail the starfish to the next bride, I would ride around with it n my car and never mail it out...lol!!! Have fun and super cute idea!

I found the starfish on ebay and those are the actual pics of the starfish. I've purchased 90% of my wedding decor from ebay, for super cheap.

I have the same placemats on my dining table.... Good job, I love the idea.

The ebay sellers I use are "lingsbridalshop" and "vlovelfe" and "lingsupplies"...the quality is amazing and the prices are a steal.

LOVE IT!!!! I will be on vistaprint tomorrow ordering print items!

My cake....

love all the ideas.....I purchased 3 starfish brooches to go on my wedding cake...I'm going to have the resort replicate this exact cake.

Question....are you sending invites for your AHR to the people that plan to attend your destination wedding? I just think booking a venue at home would defeat the purpose of not wanting to spend $30k on a wedding reception. Maybe I will have a summer bbq after the wedding since bbq's are pretty cost effective. I'm so cheap!!!! lol

Thank you Rayn Drop!!! I hope you guys post pics as you get your ideas finalized. I love pics!!! lol

Is anyone having a reception once they return home for guests who were unable to make the destination festivities? I was thinking about it, but I don't know if I will have the energy to do anymore planning after the wedding happens.

Love It...how is the quality with vistaprint? I was thinking of using them to print my guest welcome brochures.

Thanks Shara1984!!!!!

I went ahead and purchased welcome tags for OOT bags, but I'm still undecided if I will do the bags. And the straws will be used for cocktail hour, one side says "enjoy" and the other side has out names. And no table is complete w/out table confetti...which I have royal blue, silver, and turquoise... I purchased 90% of my items from Ebay!!!
