Good to know because I thought we needed to register it as well. Do you think I'll need to have it translated to English??? Getting married in the DR so my marriage certificate will be in Spanish.

This simple piece of paper is what proves you two are married and is your legal document, so don't lose it! I will be making at least 1 copy and getting it notorized so that I will have 2 copies and don't have to worry about contacting Jamaica in case of emergency.

 

Does that make sense?

Yes, I think you will have to have it translated.  

I've read on here that sometimes you pay a little bit extra for them to translate in down there, otherwise you have to find someone here to do it for you. I'll ask my brother-in-law, that's where they got married, and I know that it is translated, I'm just not sure where they got it done.

I got these bracelets and matching earrings for my BMs. Also, I picked up some nice straw beach bags at Aldo at the end of the summer. I also paid for their dresses. The etsy seller is RitaSoy. I have 4 BMs. All in all, I think I spent around $500, stayed in budget!

I’ve been going back and forth about what I want to get them for a while now! I was thinking something personal to each of them, but can’t seem to find anything just right.  Where did you get your necklaces and earrings? 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for this info, J and G! I will be sure to make copies and get one notorized I would hate to lose that one silly piece of paper.

I also got them something personal to each of them. for example one of my BMs LOVES puma purses and her fav color is purple so i killed myself looking but finally found a purple puma purse! she was in heaven!!! i think the personal touch is always appreciated because its really thanking them individually IMO and the gifts were a huge hit with my wedding party

 

 

Very pretty...going to order one for my friends birthday coming up. she would love this!

HELP!  I continue to struggle with creating inspiration boards for my resort wedding planner and vendors...I want to do one for hair, makeup, centerpieces, bouquets, bouts and corsages, and the cake.  This SHOULD be an incredibly easy task given that I have all of the photos in a file on my iMac.  All I want to do is create an 8 X 10-ish sheet of various sized empty boxes and drag the inspiration photos into each box.  What is the best/easiest way to do this?

[kat2012]

PowerPoint!, Out your pics on each slide and when you go print it, pic 6 slides per page or 9. Also Word is easy and Pinterest is great for inspiration boards. Let me know if you want invite on pinterest.
