mistibuard-We were seriously considering getting married at Beaches T&C but ended up deciding on Emerald Bay (even though it is crazy expensive).  Right now we're just going with Beautiful Beginnings.  What about you?

I need to check out Emerald Bay.. I haven't even glanced at it.

 

Yes, we're going with the Beautiful Beginnings package as well. I don't plan to make many changes. I'm getting my bouquet made by someone at my office. We're having a very small group 8-10 people, so I'll pay for the 30 minute cocktail reception--and from what the other brides at Beaches have told me is that I can ask the on-site coordinator to make reservations at one of the 16 restaurants...so we'll do that for a reception.

 

How about you? Are you making any changes?

Hey girls!

 

I leave for Turks & Caicos in exactly 19 weeks from today. With that said, why haven't my future-in-law's booked yet? Seriously, I don't know what they are waiting on... They do things SO differently from me. Also, my FI has yet to renew his passport. It's been expired since June.

 

Clearly, I need to work on dealing with procrastinators since I'm marrying into a family full of them,

 

Sorry for the vent. How is everyone else?

When are you all planning on sending out your invitations?  I sent out our save the dates last April, and was thinking about sending the actual invitations around Christmas.  Just wondering what others were doing...

[mistibuard]

Hi futuremsbk! I hope the other girls can chime in on this. Since I'm only have 8 guest it was pointless for me send invitations.

 

Any other March brides that can help out?!?

Yipppppy! We are going to be MRS in 4 months from today!!! 

 

16 more weeks sounds crazy! 

[mistibuard]

Wow!! It is 4 months from today!

 

How's your planning going? I'm only expecting 8 guests, so a lot of my focus is on the huge AHR that we're having...but I have purchased my OOT bags and some of the contents. I have to work on the Welcome Books, the Wedding Survival Kit label, key card holders and that's about it.

 

For the AHR we're inviting 150 guests and it will be somewhat formal. I'm sending boarding pass invites for that--to stick with the DW theme.

My planning is good but it sounds like I am a little behind! We have about 40 people going and I will have a solid number on December 1 because everyone has to put a deposit down on the room. I sent out our invitations and they took me forever! I ordered the inserts but I put a starfish & ribbon on all of them and we sent out 75. I have ordered the fans and started on the wording for our programs. I have to do the OOT bags, Welcome books, (I have bought the books but have not printing anything)  and a million other little things! 

 

We are going to register today so one less thing for out list
