My Fiancée and I decided to give every "family" a photo album once we get back home. This way we don't have to take anything with us.

We're planning to add a few pictures into it, a thank you note on the inside cover and to make something to put into the window in the front of the album like "Jamaica 2010" with our Monogram or something, this way they can put their pictures of the WHOLE week in there but will always remember that it was a part of our wedding

We got these albums on sale at Costco, so after the sale, they ended up being $5.00 each! They are really nice albums too and have a pocket in the back for a CD so we're debating on whether or not to give a picture CD or a Music CD with our reception music.

I am still trying to figure out how to personalize the albums PERFECTLY.

Check with Oriential Trading......not sure if they are Palm Leaf though

12 for $9.99

Refreshing Fans

Do you think that is a bit much?

How Much were you ladies quoted for the Speaker rental for Blue Lagoon?

Can you please let me know!

Thanks!

Hello!!! Another Canadian Bride here....... I am from Ontario, Whitby to be exact and my fiancée and I are getting married in Jamaica in May!

Wow there are a lot of Canadian Chicks on here!!

I have a Question - Julain had told me that Sparklers are NOT allowed on the resort. Now i am seeing that Julian gave a lot of WRONG information. Have any of you used them there?

Hello Ladies, another May Bride here.

My date is set for May12th, 2010 at the Grand Palladium Jamaica.

We sent out our Invitations a few months ago.

I have to admit, I am getting a bit NERVOUS about how quickly it is going to come.

So far, we have 29 (and growing) adults booked, not including Mr Groom and myself. I don’t know about the rest of you but I am racking my BRAIN trying to figure out WHAT to do for them (In terms of giveaways). I also find that I am a bit stumped in terms of additional décor that I wish to take with me.

Glad to see that I have a LOT of company in MAY

Venue - Check Grand Palladium Booked, waiting for everyone to get booked too, so far, we have 20 booked.

Dress - Check

His Suit - Check

Sent out Invites - Check

Photographer - check although he still needs to book (it's a friend of mine)

Still to do:

Figure out what to do for favours/gifts

Ditto for some decor ideal

Make a Monogram

Pick Menu

Figure out wardrobe for the entire week.....LOL.

Hey Ladies - looked to see if this topic was already covered but i was wondering which Wedding Superstitions you have heard?

CRAZY?

BELIEVABLE?

FOLLOWING??

Going to Try again.......

The Italian Job : Charlize Theron

I have a GREAT success story to share with you ladies, in the hopes that maybe you will get lucky too!!

I was planning on going on THE WEDDING DRESS hunt this weekend; I had been to a few places and fell in love with a few dresses that were a bit out of my price range. I also felt really uncomfortable trying on the dresses and felt quite FAT to tell you the truth....

I was also going to take the Ivory Bridesmaid dress approach as I REALLY wanted an inexpensive wedding dress. It was not the biggest issue for me and I am still not sure exactly how many people would be coming to the wedding; so I couldn't justify spending a LOT on a dress.

My future sister-in-law and I had a game plan; start out in the East end and work our way West checking out all the bridesmaid styles possible when I stumbled upon this website:

Your White Dress - 103 Orfus Road - Toronto - M6A 1M4 - (416) 781-4571

It didn't give much information on the STYLES of dresses that they offered but I was up to giving it a try, so we went there FIRST to see what they had.

At first we were about to walk out the door, a LOT of the dresses were really out dated and looked like they were from the 80's but I sucked it up and tried on a few dresses. When I had tried on ALL the ones that we picked out, I was about to change back into my clothes when one of the girls that worked there and whom we had told it was for a destination wedding suggested that I try on a raw silk style that was in the size up. I said what the hell and she brought it in……..

OMG – I fell in love. It was only slightly too big and the raw silk made it feel feather light. It looked lovely and although it was in a different style than I had anticipated buying I was in LOVE, it was absolutely comfortable and lightweight, although it had a train.

My sister-in-law made me keep my head and not buy the dress on the spot, so we went to Windsor Bridal to check out some more styles. Don’t get me wrong I did see ones that I liked there too but this dress had enchanted me and I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

So we went back, I bought the dress for $299. I have to get it altered by a third party but I am not too concerned about that and it gives me time to try to lose a bit of weight!!! When I had tried it on I noticed the name brand and it had registered in my brain but not entirely, the sales lady told me that it was a VERY EXPENSIVE BRAND – Pronovias!!!! When I got home I looked it up and I was able to find the style…it was from a few years back but the style is pretty timeless so I don’t really care!! I thought I would share this with you in hopes that someone else gets lucky too!!!

P.S. If I get enough points I will Post a pic of the Dress!!

Welcome!! You will have a great time here and will find lots of GREAT ideas/information

Welcome!!! You will find a lot of GREAT information here.

I am also a JA Bride, wedding will be in May
