Chelsea & Josh's PLANNING THREAD - Iberostar Rose Hall Suites, Jamaica - **TONS AND TONS OF DIY AND PICS**

[kay2015]

Aww thank you! I Don't stress you have plenty of time ! I've done all of this in one year so it's definitely possible! However, my only advice is to never buy a house and get married in the same year! Lol.

A lot of ppl say that lol...we will probably buy 2 years after lol

Hi Chelsea, I love your thread its very helpful! I'm getting married at ibero suites April 3, 2014.  Where did you get the template for the insert for the badge holder? I would love to do the same thing its a great idea. I also looked into Sandy May's website and emailed her to see if she was available

I saw these AMAZING table runners on Etsy but they were $20 a piece - yeah false! I decided I was going to finally learn how to sew and take a wack at making my own. So that's what I did - I purchased all of the material at Joann's with coupons and made my own runners! I love how they turned out. I am going to alternate the turquoise and coral chevron on each table.

 

 

This is what I'm thinking for table settings. What do you all think?

 

 

DIY Post Card Guest Book:

I put these together last night. I put one post card in each glassine envelope I bought on Amazon and put an avery label I printed on it. I really like how they turned out, I'm going to have one per place setting so hopefully they will take the time to fill them out, or have the option of sending them back to us after the wedding ( I would prefer before we leave Jamaica though so they actually do it!).

 

Love the table runners!!!  Great job!  Awesome thread!  Thanks for all the info!

Hi, I love what you have come up with. I am getting married at Iberostar Grand in October 2015 and have lots of questions. I have a planner here in the States but it would be great to be able to connect with past and future brides.
