HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

all the info is on Wedding Packages by Destination. Honeymoon Holidays. Weddings by Riu

LOVE the coconut aisle (wonder if I could re-create it! hehe)! I don't think you need ANYTHING on that gazebo, it's fabulous!!!

I have no idea...but did a quick search on trip advisor. Maybe some of these reviews can help? Or maybe you can at least contact the brides from there... Montego Bay: Sandals Royal Caribbean - Traveler Reviews - A WeddingMoon in Paradise at the Sandals Royal Caribbean - TripAdvisor Montego Bay: Sandals Montego Bay - Traveler Reviews - Wedding in Sandals, Montego Bay, Jamaica - TripAdvisor Montego Bay: Sandals Royal Caribbean - Traveler Reviews - The Pefect Vacation/Wedding - TripAdvisor Montego Bay: Sandals Royal Caribbean - Traveler Reviews - our wedding with ivan - TripAdvisor Montego Bay: Sandals Royal Caribbean - Traveler Reviews - Amazing WeddingMoon - TripAdvisor Hope this helps a bit!

When is the deadline? Need to make some final decisions here!

You all rock - Tammy/Mods/Everyone else!!! I would be lost without BDW!

Chandlyn told me it's all white

Yeah, I ordered one. Quality is good. Washed it and it didn't peel off, so that's good!

My favorite is #2. Second fav is #6 (I'm a sucker for palm trees! ) Did you design these? They all look really great.

I just got this emailed to me, so I figured I'd pass it along... Attractions

I'm so confused (it happens frequently!) This is the email I received from Carolyn (Wedding Sales Dept of Riu): Dear Heidi, Thank you for contacting RIU Sales Wedding Department Should the photograher be a family member or friend travelling with them they are allowed to take pictures. A local photograher is allowed at fee of uS200 plus the cost for the day pass. This fee is payed to the Photoshop for the breach in contract. If you shall require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. Warm Regards, Carolina Miranda Sales Wedding Coordinator Ocho Rios & Negril, Jamaica Weddings By Riu America's Division Phone: + (52) 984 877 23 20 Email: [email protected] Wedding Packages by Destination. Honeymoon Holidays. Weddings by Riu SO, since my photographer is NOT local, I will NOT be paying the breach of contact fee. I plan on printing the email out and bringing it with me JUST IN CASE!!

I just did a Google search for cake toppers, and I stumbled across this: TOO FUNNY!!!

That bright pink is the color of the parasol I got for myself! I LOVE IT! The BMs get white. Here are some more:

OK, I'm striking out on what I"m looking for... do you think I can just take a sharpie to non-personalized cups and make them fun?? Or has anyone seen beach-themed cups anywhere? For Mexico brides, I found this which looks so cute: “Fiesta” Fun Cups Bright "Fiesta" Cups For Carly : Hibiscus Print Cups

Did anyone see this today on AOL? If you're willing to move to Toronto... Would You Buy This Tiny House? - AOL Real Estate http://thelittlehouse.com/

Wow, I really like them Jamie! I don't think it's bland at all. Great work!!! ...see, it was worth the blisters!!!

Congrats!!!!

haha, I feel you! I was there for my STDs. For some reason, I thought hand cutting the rounded corners of my boardng pass STDs was a good thing...I had some crazy hand cramps the whole time. Glad I didn't use a hole puncher, sounds painful! But look at it on the bright side... you'll have a gorgeous DIY project done! And you can post your pretty pictures on here and then we can all tell you how wonderful you are.

After a month of no exercise (I SUCK!!!!!), I finally got my arse back into the gym today. PHEW! 3.5 miles on the elliptical

Do you actually expect us to have food and cake and everything for you? Not to mention I won't have OOT bags for them if we find out 2 days before we leave... we aren't sure whether to tell them they just aren't invited anymore or what... Again - sorry to hijack. Sorry to continue the hijack... BUT WTF?!?!?! Surprise you What Who?? Huh?? I just don't get it! I feel so frustrated for you!!!

Quote: Originally Posted by Hopels I totally hear you Jen! I'm so sorry that people SUCK! I leave for Jamaica in 7 days and we have just been informed that a few no shows may "crash" our wedding! Ridiculous! I don't understand people at all... months to plan for something and they leave everything to the last minute! no way... really?!?!

Here are some of the logos I designed for us. (Can you tell that I like the circular logos??) http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...321/logos1.jpg I am sending everyone who books their travel an information booklet (attached to thread, pages might look out of order, it's a half-page booklet) and two luggage tags per person. These are the fronts of the luggage tags: http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...bonvoyage3.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...needislove.jpg And I think I'll do these for Reggie and I: http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...DW/caution.jpg Hoping for part 4 of this wedding planning blog to have my BM gifts, etc. We'll see...

Oh geez, I"m sorry Jen! People STINK!!! If anyone ever invited me to their DW, I'd be the perfect guest!!! I did STDs, invites and even an evite asking those who we haven't heard from to let us know yes, no or not sure...only 2 responded.
