Sooooo, we found out we can do a small check in card that the front desk can give them, this way they know where to meet us that night. We also found that not as many people REALLY look at the website details as much as you think, so this was a must for us!

Here's what we had done:

The check In Card-

   

 

 

The Timeline for all guests-this will be in the OOT bag-

 

 

Our Welcome letter-

 

These are  the proofs, so the paper will make it pop, but just wanted to give you guys an idea. If anyone is interested in seeing our menus, favor cards, do not disturb sign, etc. let me know and I'll post them.

Sheryl your website is AWESOME! Thanks for sharing...I got some great ideas if you don't mind! :-) Mine is almost completely done, but I haven't released it to family and friends yet. I was waiting to complete the site visits last week and then try and get the date changed the last couple of days. I'm going to send my Save the Date out via email today and there will be a link to the wedding website up there. After I send out the Save the Date, I'll post the link up here for you guys to check it out.

Thank you so much! The credit for the stationary goes to Ginger O'Hara www.serendipitybeyonddesign.com. I know I raved about her before, but I mean it! She had pulled everything together for us and designed this based on my convoluted idea I had in my head....An upscale Mexican/Mayan-y sort of feel but not over the top and less literal with earthy colors of chocolate brown and burnt orange...she somehow understood that and gave us this AND included the burgundy in there which we incorporated into our colors! Genius!

 

Here are some of the other things she did...

Favor Tag-

 

Luggage tag- this will be in a lucite holder with a leather strap attached to the OOT bags- it will be 2 sided

Front and Back-

 

 

 Menus- Each Guest will have their name on the top and their meal choice. This way we did not need to do place cards, and with a group of 32, we didn't need tablecards. The menu will also have a shimmery burt orange backing on them, line on our invites...

Do not disturb sign-

 

 

Thank you Cards-the will be folded in half in the middle of the design-

We are planning some extras for our wedding party....the Marine Wellness for all the guys and girls, mani pedi's for all the guys and either nails or hair or make up for the girls. The spa has been AMAZING! They put everything together for us on a spreadsheet with prices almost immediately. I also have a few guests who want their hair done and they just told me a few weeks ago. They were able to get them all in, and they will be charging them separately. With the gold package we get 15% off so putting it all on 1 bill, even if you're not paying for it all might be better for your bridesmaids wallets...just an idea.

Also, make sure you book your couples massage if you are getting one with your package! And timing for me worked out best to do my trial hair and make-up on Wednesday.

Here's how the timing works for a Saturday wedding- 5:30 ceremony(where guests get there at 5):

Nails: They suggest Friday

Hair:Bridesmaids go first in groups of 3 at noon (depends how many you have doing their hair) I go at 1pm, my Mother is in at 1:30pm, guests go in at 3.

Here's our "timeline" we did for them.....
