ooh I can't wait to see...did u have to order 48 of them?!? It's only like 30 something dollars but still- I'm not gunna have 40 guests! aah! Do you remember how much shipping and handling was for your order? How exciting to have your OOT Bags done- amazing.

I'm not crazy about the minimum of 45 but I think they are adorable...

LOVE this thread- and I love starfish!! I'm just sad some of the older links dont work...

I'm so sad your lengthy review got lost! I am looking into this resort and I can't wait to see pics! Congrats!

Am I the only one freaking out at the idea of a bikini...you ladies must also be subscribed to the "i exercised today" forum- YIKES!

BEAUTIFUL! I am officially IN LOVE with your dress, you looked amazing- can't wait to see more pics!

lovvvve these! Templates or DIY instructions would be WONDERFUL!

QUESTION: Are you (or anyone) having issues looking at prices on the RIU website? I put in for a 4 night stay but it always defaults and chooses a 3 night- it's driving me CRAZY!

Besides that I love this place, everyone is nice. I completely agree with you- I'm getting married at Sandals Grande ocho Rios and I thought that was a popular location, but now I can only find a few posts about this resort...bummer.

I just read this thread and I'm dying to know- I can just imagine how you're feeling! I would say just take a test to be sure- you stressing about it is not gunna help because stress can cause a late or missed period altogether. I know it can be scary, but just try to get thru it without thinking about it!?!? easier said than done, right? good luck!!

Which travel mug are you going with? It doesn't go specifically to one, just the website. Are you adding your own decal? I cant decide if i want to do a mug or a color-changing cup...also, I really like the logo idea, but will guests save it if it has my logo on it...? choices, choices!

I just got engaged october 31st, 2008 so days before you! I started by choosing my resort, and then going from there. There are a lot of ideas on here about a plethra of topics, so just take one thing at a time. I started a binder with tabs such as favors, ceremony ideas, music list, etc. and I just add to those lists as i see ideas on this website. I have also kept a wedding folder on my comp to add pics i like from places....but that's just me. Good luck planning, and keep us updated! It is definetly an exciting time- do you have a date picked out yet? I'm getting married in Jamaica, let me know if you choose this location as well!

man why can't there be a Jamaica one? I want these cups too, but not 250! lol

I am looking into Sandals Grande Ocho Rios- these resorts seem to be moderately priced and they deal with weddings frequently so they have specials and things. TA Jennifer is the sandals specialist

I would love to update this thread! I am a Sandals Grande Ocho Rios bride and I'm looking for informaiton and reviews and pics- any info is welcome!!

Don't know if that helps, but I tried. congratulations. There are plenty of options off of the beach- I don't want a "barefood" sandy wedding on the beach, so I am getting married in a Gazebo overlooking the beach. The resort where I'm staying also has a gazebo and wedding location that is set in the "gardens" of the resort. From what I hear, the gardens of Sandals Grand Ocho Rios has a hawaii essence to them...

I'm now officially excited- I'll be on the lookout for your location update Just to let you know- the reason we chose Jamaica is because there is no blood test required and we don't need to be there 3+ days in advance (like mexico) We are going to arrive a few days early in Jamaica, but legally you only have to be there 48 hours in advance

I have been looking at reviews from resorts, I thought that would help narrow my search, but it hasn't. We know we don't want to get married on the beach and we do want an AI for guest. We have decided on the Passport save the dates my mom will be taking on the project as a DIY. Congrats to everyone and I hope this process gets a lot easier for all of us! Thanks for the thread! I think that I found the date twin I've been looking for!! I'm getting married July 3 2010 at sandals grand ocho rios in JAMAICA!! If you go thru sandals use jennifer as ur TA- she's the BEST

What a GREAT thread!! I just made the choice yesterday to go to Ocho Rios and I am so thrilled!!

I enjoy! thanks!

agreed ^^^ pics are a MUST! My fiance got my ring from Kay and about a month of me wearing it i had to take it in because my diamond was loose- AA! imagine if i would not have noticed it and it would have fallen out- good lord! good think i admire my ring at least once an hour...lol jk

I agree with Erika and JoLo- I MUST have this!

Thanks for your support ladies! I think that trying on dresses is going to be my new favorite past time lol. I am VERY picky and have a funky self-image so I'm not going to settle until I find the ONE! (hence looking 1 year, 4 mo before my wedding)
