Hi ladies, so for my centerpieces I plan on using three cylinder floating candle vases (3 different heights) filled with water and green sea glass on the bottom (our colors are coral and mint green, but the sea glass is pretty close). Let me know if any future brides (post November 7th) are interested in this and I would love to leave these at the resort for you to use, and save me the hassle of having to bring them back with me. I am having 60 people. So I am bringing 24, but have 36 if someone needs more. 

 

Here are the websites I used to purchase the centerpieces so you can get a visual. I can't figure out how to upload a photo to show what it looks like together.

What are some money saving tips people are using at the resort.... this could include anything from welcome bags, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, décor, special things for your guests, excursions... it would be a nice thread to start and get other ideas on what people are doing.

 

For example, we have 70+ guests going. To have them all go to the reception would be close to $100 more per person. Which is crazy at a place that is all inclusive, why pay for a meal that is pre-determined for you. Instead we are having a immediate family and bridal party reception for 2 hours then having everyone meet at the disco. Then we are paying for a 5 hour private party boat excursion for everyone that is only about $55 per person and probably going to be a lot more fun.
