[CamLovesJA]

Thank you for all the info. You are amazing at getting back to peoples questions even after your wedding and you don't even need to be on here. Really appreciate it, thanks again x

We brought the pink chair bows (so did Jenn).  Iberostar has white, silver and maybe gold.  I had planned to use theirs but our chair bows arrived for our AHR before we left so we took a package.  The flower decorated huppa was not my wedding but they were fresh flowers. 

 

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Wow GOOD JOB with making the invites yourself! Now you have me second guessing getting mine made professionally and perhaps trying them myself as well!

Mark and I were engaged over a year ago.  I thought he was joking when he proposed.  We have both been married before and I vowed never to do it again.  Then one evening while getting ready to go out he drops a ring box in my hand and just stares at me;  I didn’t know whether to laugh, cry or jump for joy.  I guess the answer is obvious now but at the time he wasn’t sure.  I did say yes after a few minutes of staring at it.  All this happened in our bathroom.

 

After a long decision (and some family drama) we decided on a destination wedding in Jamaica at the Iberostar Rose Hall Suites.   We took 7 people with us, during our week there we had a 5 yr anniversary, a 10 year anniversary and a 1 year divorcary.  My brother did not travel with us as he wouldn’t fly but his fiancé and his daughter were there to represent him.  We all had a blast and I can't imagine not doing a DW!!!  I have ZERO regrets about this decision.

 

We sent out save the date luggage tags, below is the thread with them (I can't find a pic to post here but its in the link):

For our invites, we decided to do boarding pass invites.  I know they are commonplace here but no one we sent them to had ever seen them.  Once again, thanks to the ladies here for the template… it saved many arguments with my new husband.  My mom and my brother’s FI helped me cut and assemble them one day which was a life saver.  I only sent out about 25 invites, can’t imagine making them for lots of people.  Below is the link to the invites:

We used vistaprint for our AHR invites (we sent to people who didn’t get wedding invites).  That’s next weekend so I’ll let you know how that goes later.

Wendy,

 

Did you provide copies of your birth certificate or the originals?  I know I have read about this on here somewhere but I can not find it right now.

copies that were notarized.

Island girl--give it a shot, but plan for some tedious cutting/corner cutting, and editing.
