I don't know where you are in your planning, but could you possibly stay at a cheaper or AI resort for the wedding then move to RP for your honeymoon? LOL..pretty far in the process. I already have my printed invitations that already say Royal Plantation. I thought it was a lot, too. I knew the actual hotel was more expensive then some, but I hate that the price of the wedding keeps adding up. I talked to Steve about it now and he said that we are just going to have to pay it and suck it up. If you guys think these fee's are a lot don't even ask how much they wanted for flowers! (Yikes)

I know that some girls are using Evita's in Ocho Rios b/c her prices were right. Yes, I agree $150pp is a lot. The funny part is that the prices went up recently to $180pp, so she is giving me the $150pp price IF I pay it all now! We are going to Evita's for our "rehearsal" dinner the night before so I wanted something different. Quote: Originally Posted by sohappy I think most resorts have some sort of these add-on fees. Have you try negotiating? I got a wedding package and whatever was not listed I have to pay extra, but to give you an example I have to pay $40 if I want rose petals for the beach ceremony but I found out if I don't use roses I can get other petals for free. If you have more people coming then I'm assuming more rooms will be book so hopefully thats a card to play with. Also try asking whats the alternative for certain services. The only alternative to paying the fee's is to just have a normal dinner at one of the restaurant's. But I really want it to be private and to have decorations! Like a real reception. The bad thing is none of our guests are staying at our hotel. It's a little more pricey then other places and no one else can really afford it.
  6. I was just wondering if other resorts charged fee's for everything! I choose my resort (Royal Plantation) back when I thought it was only going to be Steve & I, because it was so small and private. But then when we told people we were getting married everyone wanted to come. I did not want to change my wedding location because I love the RP. But now I'm looking at at least $150 PP for our reception & dinner, plus $420 for set up fee's, plus another $420 for chef/butlers. Is this normal? I don't want to go off site for my reception, so I guess I just have to suck it up. It would make me feel better though to know I'm not the only one! :-) lol.

I will be sure to post in the WW 2008 brides post and keep everyone updated!
  8. Ok, so I decided to sign up for WW online last night. I was inspired by the weight loss of others on the board. I've tried EVERY diet known to man, and my problem is I never stay on them since they are not really practical. But WW looks like something I can do long term. I'm super excited. My goal is to at least lose 20 pounds by the wedding! :-)
  9. Welcome to the Forum! You will love it around here! Half moon was one of my options before I decided I wanted to spend more time in Ocho Rios. It's a beautiful resort!
  10. My bank actually did mine for free. (Chase) So you might try that as well.

  12. My FI has a little boy that we have Full time. His mother gets him every other weekend and one month during the summer. We also wanted a little privacy for our honeymoon so we decided to get married during the summer when his mother would have him anyway. Have you thought about that, since you and your ex share custody? Just arrange the wedding on a week that he would have her. Then perhaps have a little party when you and FH get back that you can include her in, or something to that extent so that she doesn't feel left out?

I hate when everything turns into a race issue It's pretty annoying. Yeah, people can be really stupid & ignorant sometimes. I have kind of learned to ignore most of it. My FI gets pretty offended though. We went out to dinner the other night at a steakhouse and at the end of dinner the waiter asked if we wanted two checks...and he was like "umm, NO". He was really upset, because to him it was like the waiter didn't think we belonged together. FI wanted to write on the check "No, jerk shes my wife". LoL. I didn't let him though.

Yep, I know where that is. I actually live in Frisco, but commute to Denton. :-( I know a few people who went to UTA, I probably would have gone too if it wasn't so far from Frisco! Good Luck with the test on Friday! Make sure to let us know how it goes.
  15. I'm sorry you are going through this. Hopefully they will come to their senses and come. If not they should defiantly pay you guys back for the deposits!
  16. I think we paid $15 for the admission price when we went in Dec. FH and I are planning on sponsoring this trip for our group as well.
