Ahh gotcha. I guess its a non issue for me bc ill be there like 5 days before

Honestly the closer I get to the wedding the more excited I get and the less I care about those who can't make it. I'm super pumped to hang out with those who can . It almost feels like a distant memory getting so heartbroken a year ago when close friends and family declined. Which I am glad about, who wants to feel salty on their wedding day ? !

That is weird, I've never heard of waiting for symbolic

I was getting stir crazy at like the 6-8 mo mark but now we're at the 1 mo mark and I'm getting sad that it's almost over! I don't even care so much that the wedding would be over but Im not going to have vacation for awhile after this and also never again will travel with this many loved ones!

Of course people get married off the resort like at restaurants and villas and las caletas but IMO I would rethink that legal marriage there. Lots of money and a hassle. In the end it's yours and your FIs decision. My mom wasn't that excited about it but she realizes it's my choice. In the end to us it's paperwork at home so we can have more time to enjoy ourselves . Just a thought

Yeah are most people keeping it off by the pool , snorkeling etc? I'm most worried about it in the safe... Nice resort but you never know ...

@@calgarybride2015 haha my fiancé wore it around the house for a minute but it didn't really bother me, guess I am just weird but then again I'm not personally worried about losing them I'm way more worried about forgetting to pack them!! But ring on a string is good

I guess I'm in the minority but for me I want the wow moment of seeing us wearing rings for the first time after the ceremony.

I would feel weird wearing them . I am just going to keep them zipped in my purse that's tight to my body. I mean I guess it's like anything else I have that could potentially get stolen...I hope it doesn't!

Haha I read an article about how airlines don't care that gas prices are low...they will just use this chance to make more profit !

I'm in the last month! Partly stressful partly surreal like omg I can't believe it's almost here I'm almost in denial !

I think it depends on the couple. I think it's perfectly in good etiquette to have a registry. As long as it's not written on the invite. People can search for the info on your website if they really want to. It is a wedding after all. I think giving a gift is a good gesture at a wedding. It doesn't have to be extravagant . No one thought anything of it to give a gift at my friends DW. I don't expect anything crazy at my wedding but having a registry allowed my relatives who felt bad they couldn't make it send a gift and I think it makes it easier on them.

@@rachelia160 I totallyhear you...my mom thinks I was being silly when I was concerned that people were wanting to bring more people. It's frustrating. It was good that you said something to your friend so maybe her and her mom can kind of rethink their etiquette. It's obviously gauche that they are tacking on the friends, but I think if you are getting to the end of figuring out who's coming and you have room I would just roll with it. You said your piece and maybe your friend will pick up on it, maybe not. You will probably get to know these kids during the trip and then it won't feel as weird that they attend. Trust me I had a crying melt down dealing with people's rudeness but everything sorted out and I kind of relaxed and focused on the positives . I was upset that some people didn't get it, but came to terms with it. It made me less stressed . Not saying that people should walk all over you, but if your parents are ok paying for it then maybe it's best to just laugh it off and roll with it

Perry Ellis has a great linen suit super affordable u can find it on many websites

Love the thank you cards! As soon as I get my work schedule we will plan a honeymoon I can't wait! We are big travelers so we want to do something all out! Probably won't be til winter so we are leaning towards bora bora , Thailand, or South Africa. In the meantime I have a few day break off work a month after the wedding so we are going to go to Disney world and stay in a nicer hotel, go to some nice dinners etc

I like your thread! We bought totes from cheap totes and designed a design similar to a wedding chicks bag and printed them on iron ons.. They aren't the nicest things in the world but they were like 1.50$ and are fine

A resort yes so I can call but no TA

The number to get ahold of her usually just rings and rings. I emailed her again today and if I don't hear back soon will try calling, calling the resort , etc. So annoying

I did the same thing as @steelethespitlight . They turned out cute and I'd rather spend the money elsewhere as likely people won't use them too much I also did half the bags with the cards and half the bags with little cellophane bags of 5 die with a ribbon with our last initial patterned on it so people can share these games

My wedding is a month out and my planner hasn't responded to my emails for the last month... If I tip her it's not going to be too much. I just really hope my wedding is still beautiful I can't even handle thinking that it won't be

I think all my tips are included. I was surprised to realize that people tip the WC ...I guess it makes sense but then I thought they were also hired by the resort to coordinate the wedding and it shouldn't be a tip based position

I had my dress for a really long time and it looks perfect ....stored in a closet in a garment bag

I think it gets a little tricky when parents are paying for part of the wedding like yours and mine are. My parents have some of their friends coming who had no problems inviting their adult kids and their dates without asking which is fine, but what didn't fly is when they didn't even know which kids were coming by the RSVP date. I got really upset but ultimately since it was up to my parents and they were very nonchalant about the whole thing, I had to just roll it. It really made buying oot bag stuff more costly. For such smart people, a good chunk of them seemed to never think about the planning and number crunching I was doing ... Going along with this, I still can't believe one of my friends had invited the guy she literally just started dating.. Ah craziness!

I live by the motto "don't ask for permission ask for forgiveness " lol

Eh it's an idea but I personally would rather just hang out w my friends or go freshen up . Just my opinion
