Welcome Christi! Happy Planning

deesanders, let me know if you need the templates posted for the map

By the way any of you ladies planning on adding pashminas to your OOT bags? The reason I ask is I found this wholesaler in NYC and the more I order the better the price... let me know if you're interested!

Can any of you recommend a good TA?  It's hard to just randomly pick someone!  I don't know if I am too early since I am just under a year, but I figured I have to start somewhere.  When is the best time to set up a group? 

[jbmarch2012]

Hi Christi, do you care if the TA is not based where you are from? I have a two I can refer to you. Have you checked applevacations website for a rate yet? I would definitely check that so you have an idea even if it's just for land only.

Christi:Welcome! Congrats! So great to have another NOW bride! I would give you my TA's info, but right now I am not the most pleased with her.  I am still waiting on a contract and it has been several weeks. She keeps saying it is the resort's fault, but I am starting not to believe that based on what the other girls are saying.  I would google destination wedding TA's in your area.  I have heard it is much better to have someone who specializes in DW.  Good luck!

 

JB:I really love that new dress for your BM's! Go with that one for sure, it is figure flattering and I am all about the one shoulder. I am actually going to Vegas in a couple of weeks and am thinking about getting it for myself, ha ha! I own nothing that is "Vegas appropriate". Yeah, I have been wondering about my contract too. If I don't have it by next week I will get a new TA. She did send me an email today saying that I shouldn't worry about the resort, she said she has never had a NOW customer complain and she has sent many people to these resorts.  That did help me.  As for the OOT bags, can you try for 8 pink and 7 green. If not any mix is fine.  Thanks again. Oh, the map is great, keep it the way it is. Much easier than numbers with a legend.

 

Where are you ladies having your receptions and cocktail hours? I have asked what the options are but have not gotten a response. I don't even know what the options are! I also want to know about the options for photo person and DJ. I am not planning on using either, it would be soooo nice if I could change it up for better food!

Oh, and one more thing...I bought some supplies for another DIY project tonight.  Hobby lobby had their floral stuff half off, I bought a bunch of hyrdrangias to make pomander balls for the isle decor. I am going to hang them off the chairs.  In the meantime I am going to hang them in our bedroom as the colors will work well! Here is my inspiration, I will post a pic when done.  This weekend is finishing STD's, so I may get to them next weekend.

VERY NICE Acutie, love the idea! You must share pics of the finished product! I'll see about getting 8 pink and 7 green, will update you tomorrow when I get them

[jbmarch2012]

Oh and as far cocktail and reception I'm hoping to get the Castaways for both. It's open air which is what I want without being "on sand" the whole time.

Welcome Christi! So excited to have another NOW Bride.  Happy Planning!

 

Christi I am using Destination Weddings. The lady I am using is AWESOME~ Let me know and I can give you her info if you want.

 

AcutieRN, I am wondering the same thing about the DJ and Photographer I am thinking about downgrading the package and hiring DJ Mannia and HDC photographer. I don't know what to do yet because if I do downgrade then I loose the chair upgrade but maybe I will just splurge on the tiffany chairs??

 

AcutieRN, I love the idea, must share the pics when done

 

Also as far as the cocktail hr, I have no idea yet but for the Reception definitely the Castaway Restaurant
