I don't know if I'm going to regret not putting more thought into it (since all you girls are), but I got my momogram cake top and I'm just going to tell my WC to give me the cake that comes with my wedding package....slap my monogram on top with some flowers. Honestly, do you think people are going to eat it (mine will be drunk and will not eat the cake), or are you more concerned about what the pics are going to look like?

I say just stick with a wedding cake - just my opinion. Or the cup cakes...didn't you want to do cup cakes??

the gazebo in the back the dance floor on the beach my man getting drunk at the swing bar at the reception view of the hotel wedding gazebo view from our room - beautiful! another view of the gazebo

I went to a wedding there July 06 and it was absolutely perfect! The cordinator was very easy to work with, too. They got married in the gazebo vs. the beach and I think it turned out very nice. I think I have a few pics that I can share if you'd like - not professional though...just my pics.

Love the shells! Congrats! That's one more thing to mark off the list!

I ordered this last week and got it within 4 days - fast service! We got a lower case "g" It looks really cool! We didn't know if we wanted to keep it since it was lower case - but now we love it! Just watch when you order because the M is uppercase but not all letters come that way. I think we are going to add a few flowers on the cake also.

Myra!!

You were an absolutely beautiful bride!!! Awesome review!!! What are the long lights on the tables? They look cool!

That's true. That sucks - you're not going to know if they have a gate guard until you get there. I would hate to have someone sneaking around for you. Have you explained to them that you were not aware of the "new" policy and that you hired an outside source months and months ago?

The Just Married signs are a great idea!

How will they know if someone outside comes to your room? Do you have to have arm bands to enter the hotel?

You girls are selling me on the TURBOJAM. I am going to walk over to Target in a little while to see if they have it. Any particular one or is there only 1 TurboJam?? What does the cover look like?

I will see if I can get a better pic of it and post it soon!!! (sorry, I thought I had a better one!!!) Lindsay WOW! Thanks for the pic! I never thought about glueing a pillow inside the shell to tie the rings too. I don't think I would stress as hard knowing my nephews are in charge of thousands of dollars worth or rings if they were tied down. Great idea - thanks!!

Oh yeah - I want to see pics! I just had the idea, but have no clue how to do it =)

Those starfish pins are tooooo freakin cute!! Printing a pic to show my FI now....

My 60 year old lady just had to suck it up and suffer through my thong - I forgot - haha!! Panties with a butt is the only thing I suggest - oh and a camera!!

ROFLMFAO!!!!! You're awesome!!

Oh I'm so excited for you!!! Enjoy and you guys have a blast!!! Can't wait for pics!...And can't wait until I get pampered!! You Lucky Girl!

Ooohhh that's a great idea! I'm going to buy them and figure it out later. I like the idea of putting them on the tables!! Do you know if you can dye these??

Quote: Originally Posted by TAMMYM I bet if you use fabric and attach the rings to a ribbon that is pinned to the fabric you wouldn't have to worry about the rings. Maybe have someone give the shells/rings to them right before they walk down the aisle that way you know they will be on their best behavior. I talk to James about it. He said, "My GM will be carring our rings....so I know he'll still have them when it's time." Pinning them and giving them to the boys at the last minute is a good idea. BUT what if they get a little bored during the ceremony and start kicking sand at each other and decide to launch the shells at each other....OMG!! I can totaly see them doing that!!!

You destination girls get to do all the fun stuff...my poor little nephew just had to carry a plain old pillow! lol! How funny! Pillows are cute too!! Well I haven't done any DIY projects yet and I know I'm capable...just being lazy! This is my first - woo woo!

I need to work on my spelling today - haha! It just scares me to think about trusting a 7 and 9 year old with our rings in the sand...eeek!! The fabric/pin is a good idea though!!

I just edited and I see the pic now. Can you see it yet?

I bought 2 of these when we were at the beach 2 weeks ago. My 2 nephews are going to be our ring barrers. I was thinking of tying 2 fake rings together with some cute ribbon and hot glueing them to the insides and have them use them instead of pillows. Do you think they would look o.k.? We're not going to give them our real rings, but I think I still want them walking down the isle and pretending they have them. Dumb idea??

I hear ya girl!! I want to loose a little weight for the summer/wedding, but I have no clue why I'm not getting motivated.....makes me sad!
