December 2011 Brides

[MichCraw]

Jacki,

I hired the resort videographer, and it's 350$ at my resort .. i'm only getting the ceremony on video .. that cut down on the price a lot!

We are adding videographer, but ours is way cheaper 500 for 15 minutes montaged. I think it would be a great addition to our wedding memories. Picture might not picture something, but camera should

I think with 70 + guests that everyones photos will be enough. And some of you have the great idea of making a picture montage! That would be perfect!

tI agree with all of the guests its just not worth paying for a videographer.

 

just wanted to update everyone on how all of my planning is going 

- i got all of my invites made and delivered, our deadline for deposits is next tuesday. im so flad that its done

- and i also went with my future SIL to pick out her bridesmaid dress last night we ended up finding the perfect dress for her at le chateau. it sutes her personality so well and it looks amazing on her. it will be so pretty on the beach

i forgot to mention she is not wearing that pink string things around her waist she will be wearing a beige sash.

 

How is everyone else doing with their planning?

 

What do you have left?

I am working on our wedding invitation this weekend, still i am not sure about how to word it....

I find it the most difficult task out of the whole planning. LOL

Finding my dress was way easier task...

what kind of wording are you looking for? i found a bunch of cute beach themed ones while i was looking for mine.

 

i used:

 

Years ago when they were young
two lovers were brought
together as one.
Now and forever, partners in life
under palm trees swaying, they'll
be husband and wife.

Darryl and Reta

look forward to sharing with you
the sun, the sea and the
memories of their wedding ceremony.

date and time

resort

Montego Bay, Jamaica

Bonfire celebration on the beach
following the ceremony

kat the dress was $189 Canadian. (I think this is a tad bit expensive but all of the other dresses that we were looking at in bridal salons were the same price if not more) They have this dress online. Just to warn you though the dress fits big (she is usually a medium but a small fit) the way the top of the front is we need to just sew it closed. The way it crosses it kind of flaps open and is really really low cut so a simple sewing will fix that. If that makes any sense.

Marlena- I tried to email Jodi twice and never received a reply (at all), so I got frustrated. Maybe I'll have to try again. Another company was responding to me until I asked for something more detailed, and then I never heard back. Argh! 

 

Recently I started working on my luggage tags, guest book pages, money holder inserts, etc. They are going really well! I've definitely learned my way around Word! I'm taking a trip to Minneapolis in two weeks and am hoping to pick up some wedding finds there as well. Not too many options around here and there's only so much you can do online without seeing things first.

 

I wanted to do a boudoir shoot but then decided against it because of cost. I'm rethinking though, because I can't think of a present my fiance would be more ecstatic about...
