Hey my reception is actually coming up next month. I did a site visit last year and went to every hotel in Nassau. We finally made the decision to go with Melia which is where we stayed but didn't know they did weddings. Im also having the ceremony in a church so the reception is at Melia and im using there indoor rooms cause the outdoor space has a early time limit to it and noise control situations, also there outdoor area isn't very private, its close to the pool areas. And you can only do buffet at there outdoor space. Atlantis was extremely expensive, (for the price i should just have my wedding here in NY) The hilton was beautiful and had many rooms to choose from but was also out of my price range Breezes was nice, but they were pretty rude to me cause i wasn't having the ceremony there and there was a big mix up with my appointment, but besides that they don't allow children. The Riu on paradise island was really my first choice cause they are all inclusive, but in the end the prices were better at Melia and at the time they gave us fantastic group rates. So far my wedding planner has been amazing and very accommodating. A lot of changes have been done since i went cause the huge resort that is being built across the street bought them. Its called Baha Mar and to be honest with you it looks fantastic. I was hoping it would be done in time for my wedding but its not. If you need more info on these places or anything else id be happy to help

What is everyone doing about inviting their bosses?? I work for a small company but we have over 100 staff. Im inviting people i directly work with like my supervisor that i report to and a few co workers. Im friendly with a lot of people in the office but im just inviting the ones i directly work with. Now the Administrator of the company over sees my dept. I work with her often and we go back and forth a lot during the week. Im not sure if i should invite her. Ive known her for 8 years!! She was so excited to hear about my engagement but shes also the head of the company. Is it weird to invite her?? Most of my co-workers have invited her to their weddings and shes gone to a few. Also, im not sure i have her correct address. Is it awful to hand deliver the invite?? Or should i try and get her address??

I got my invitations done through a company April25 and they made stamps to match my invites. They didn't cost extra and i was able to purchase them through zazzle. They match my invitations perfectly. They even made 3 different styles for me to choose from.

LOVE THIS!!!! I love Archer! I think a postcard would be awesome. I def agreet though, he should be holding a whiskey. I know this is the first draft, but are they going to do color??

@@smileitseb it is so bothering me but i keep telling myself not to stress it. The timimg was impecable though. I had just approved the last proof and 2 days later she called. Anyway, i asked if they could forward the calls but its a no go. She won't be moving till the second week in November so i don't even have her new number yet. I only have the number to the new store. I wanted to have my invites out by the end of this month. @@TAkathy thats probably what im going to do. Its the only way aside from reprinting. Do you think i should also note that the new number won't be available until November??

We put resort prices on our website and everyone found it helpful.

@@bkprettygirl, you can always talk to April25. They work within your budget. Something as simple as changing the type of paper they use can change the price of the invitations.

Wow these are amazing!!! Great work!

My invitations have been printed an are on their way to me. My travel agent just called and told me she is moving to a different store. Her email will stay the same but her phone # is changing. All my invites have been printed with her old number. How can i let my guests know that her number is incorrect without it looking stupid. My sister suggested putting a label over it with the correct info. I hate that!! I spent a lot of money on these and don't want them ruined with a label!!! The people who made the invites offered me a re-print at a discounted rate but its just so much to spend on something i already spent enough on. Im going to update her info on the wedding website but not everyone looks at that. Any ideas how i can fix this without it looking too tacky???

April 2015 Bahamas bride!!! 6 1/2 more months to go and i can't wait!!!!

I got mine done through a small company Apriltwentyfive.com I think they are fantastic!! Its owned by a couple and they do amazing work. We did the boarding pass style invitation in my colors. They're great through the whole process. They are a lil on the pricey side but its personalized exactly how you want it and look amazing! I think you can order a sample of every type of invite they do for $8. They also have an etsy shop I did our save the dates at wedding paper divas which also came out fantastic.

They came out wonderful! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On one website i saw they included a small luggage tag as their rsvp. It was stamped on the back and had the couples address so no envelope was needed. i thought that was pretty cute.

I can get to the home page but anytime I click on anything I get an error message. I really hope they're just updating.

@@strwbsprkl don't tell me that!!!!!! I'll be so upset. Is there etsy store not working either?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree. My wedding is in April and I want my guests to have all the info well in advance. I sent save the dates and I have a wedding website up but the older folks aren't really utilizing it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@@strwbsprkl wow that's a long time. My fiancé loves them so I'll prob be ordering too and I need to figure that out ASAP! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@@kmk2016 my lil Bella loves stuffed animals!! I think she would absolutely love that! Thank you. Did you do the same for the ring bearer? They're brother and sister and i don't want to disapoint him. I don't think he'd mind a bear as long as i have a new outfit for him like spider man or something. LOL. @@marinah84 awwwww your kids are doing it! Thats soooo sweet. I was going to leave the jewlery for later on as a thank you gift for her. I might actually do a bracelet though cause she doesn't like to wear necklaces.

@@stellamartin673 I got a few free samples from places and i feel a lot better. Now i just have to make a decision Thank you!

@@Bozenka Im from Kefalos, Kos..... i was there 2 summers ago. I spent the day at Blue Lagoon Village just to check it out and that place is amazing!!!! I don't know anything about weddings there but the atmosphere and the peopla were fantastic. If my fiance was Greek i def would have my wedding in Greece! Santorini is always beautiful. I went once as a kid. You never here anything bad about Santorini.

@@kjb123 that is awesome!!! I was thinking about getting us all robes for the day of to wear while we're all getting ready. Any ideas on asking the flower girl and ring bearer. My flower girl is almost 3 and the boy is 5.

@marinah84 @@kmk2016 you guys are awesome thanks for all the help! @ASAtobe that is a great idea as well! I def have a few pics i can use of allof us. Thanks sooo much!

@@pddcmc that is such a nice idea! The only thing is we aren't that close. I have maybe a handful of pics with them from family events. I don't get to see them often. We talk all the time. @@marinah84 thats a really nice idea. They love jewelry! @@kmk2016 I can't see them yet!! what does the label say? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My fiance has 3 sisters, 2 of them go to school in Miami. Im in New York...... I want to ask them both to be my bridesmaids but i don't know how to in a fun way from so far away. I was thinking about going to Miami for a weekend and taking them out to dinner but its difficult to get them both together at once or even get them at all. They're both in medical school! Any ideas on something fun i can send them as a way of asking??

@hdm116 do you mind me asking where you got them?? I guess im just nervous cause so much info has to go information has to go on the invites.
