Hey Sheree,
He actually told me he wouldn't need any info until July..Maybe he waits till the actual month.. I emailed him yesterday to find out the table sizes. Has he told you that yet? How many can sit at a table??

Okay,interesting- then that gives me a little more time to finalize what I want. lol

I did ask him that question also! This was his response: our table can accommodate 12 seats. but for comfort we tend to leave it at 10 per table. But if your going to have assigned seating you decide on how many people you'd like per table.

You may also have another question that I had: what is the time and meeting place for our guests to go over to the island? boat departs at 5:30pm. Guests would need to gather at the MARINA tower boat dock at 5:15pm What is the typical timeline for the bride and groom for that day? The groom goes over with the guests at 5:30pm. The last boat is for the bride and that's at 5:45pm.


Just FYI in case you need the info.

Yes ladies our time is quickly approaching!


How exciting! Since you're at the beginning of the month you will be one of the first to leave.

Let's keep this thread alive after the wedding and at least share how it all went/ pictures etc.

Hello Ladies! I leave in 16 days. I'm sure there is a packing list in here somewhere. I even know that I've downloaded one. I'm off to find that.

 

I've started packing, but want to get a HUGE chunk done today.
