I was you-tubing and i discovered wonderful steel drum band recordings- instead of paying hundreds of dollars, just use the free recorded version! haha

did you take any pics of the resort while you were there? I would love to see any pics u have!

awesome thread- I would LOVE to know how you made your invitation (or was it STD?) with the vellom overlay- i loved that!

i am so glad you threw this out there Christie! I was having the same thoughts...let me share my"game plan" (you know, if everything goes as planned, which it never does! haha) wedding @ 1pm (or somewhere around this time) after the wedding: bride/groom/party: pictures guests: having dinner/downtime at a bar or resteraunt (perhaps even changing clothes) around 6pm: meet back up with guests (depending on budget perhaps in a nice white sundress, I'm not gunna want to wear a huge puffy HOT dress the whole night!) and have the appetizer/drink/cake reception Jennifer was talking about including our first dance... but that's just me- AND i'm still trying to figure out where to fit in TTD...I'm thinking the day after at dunns river falls...

OMG I found those this weekend and love them! I am checking with FI but i saw those and took a pic of the box- they are adorable and very classy, if you don't upload a pic I will when i get home!

Thank you all so much for your input, I knew you all would be so helpful! I am still debating on doing DIY or buying ones to print myself...primandpixie you are right, the invitations ARE the first impression- this is a big decision! I'll let you know what I decide and i might even post pics of the print ones to show you all. Thanks again

Thanks so much!

agreed- this IS a great thread- anybody have anything more recent!?!?

is there any way to get this template? what happened?

yay! what a good feeling

Also- here is a "mock monogram" I am playing with-

Ok ladies- I need help. I am just starting this whole invitation/std process and I'l going back and forth between what I like, so today I bought some materials and started playing around. Please tell me what you like/don't like I would LOVE SUGGESTIONS! thanks a ton! #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 The invitations with the stamp are stamped on a square of paper just so I didn't waste a bunch of "mock invites" but they would be stamped right on there. Thanks ladiezzz

MAN this is a great thread! Thanks ladiezzz!

I think it would be nice to be able to drink and/or eat on the great balcony that we are going to have, is this possible with the concierge rooms? Also, I was wondering if the resort will provide a witness for our ceremony, since it is just going to be my finacee and I . I am also very worried about the photos that the resort offers. Since it is just going to be my fiancee and I, we really want some great photos to show our family and friends. Does any one have any advice and/or pics from their weddings? Thanks !!! i think you just addressed 2/3 of my concerns my dear! I want to get married at SGOR in July of next year and I want to stay in that exact room (aka you better take good pics! lol) I have also had the photog concern...thanks for posting!

double post...

Hello! I have had the EXACT same feelings about ROR! I have been scoping them out to see what I want to do- I'm really on the fence. The points you made were exactly what I was feeling, everyone boasts about their ROR weddings, but I've seen some great sandals ones too. Choices, choices... you will have to let me know what you decide. Maybe it will come down to a pro/con list. I DO know that I want to get married in a Gazebo setting with the ocean in the background, and ROR only offers beach weddings, or a gazebo in the "gardens." and this was my dream, so I think I might be stuck....who knows.

this is a variation on the picture frame idea: take one of those calendars that have a custom pic for each month, and either insert engagement pictures in there or leave them blank for wedding pictures and have guests sign on a calendar page. This way your first year you can see all of these warm fuzzies, and you can also mark special things you and your new hubby did the 1st year you were married

YAY! I am so excited for you because this is where I want to get married! since your new I feel oblidged to tell you that when your there you should take pics of EVERYTHING so we can get an idea of what it's like lol...jk but for sure check out reviews on here, it's an exciting time try searching "sandals grande ocho rios" or just look under the sandals thread- both places have lots of info! welcome to the cite

I officially love this thread <3 Thanks for the pics and info Jennifer- as always you really are working hard!

Before we left, I was on there all time looking for new videos of the weddings, the resort and even the room. I had sooo much trouble finding pictures of the room we were in. Now there are several. I just wanted to know what to expect. I am telling it is amazing any way you look at it! What side of the resort are you staying in? That is so thoughtful of you! and SO helpful! Is there a way to search for your videos? do you use a username?
