My group rate was through my hotel and they required a $500.00 deposit, 30 days prior.

You know I went back and forth with this. When i got my list from my family of people I have to send STD's too, and I didnt really know them. I felt completly uncomfortable sending out STD's then invitations and then AHR invitations. So after I sent the STD's I have now decided to skip the formal invitation. I have a wedding website, I know basically who is coming and I think those on the fence are smart enough to know they dont need a formal invite. So now I am sending my AHR information with sorta of a wedding announcement on them. I just cant see spending all that money for no reason.

Ummm i actually hate that idea. Is this girl really young? She sounds a bit immature to me. Sure she might now like sitting through that but perhaps some of your older relative and friends might like it. I dont like sitting through it, but I know what to expect when I go. I think the other way is a little rude, myself. Sorry, i dont have any other sugestions on spicing it up. Perhaps some interactive games.

Beth, can you email me at [email protected]? I am trying to PM you back but it says I can only PM twice a day. I am def interested in both things we talked about Thanks, Wendy

I have been dealing with Monica on my arrangements and it has been a blast. Our total ceremony cost is going to be just under $5000 with taxes and everything. We also have to pay extra for the Sunday wedding. We also chose to do the ultimate wedding package since we wanted a DVD and everything it was just more cost effective. Are you having a reception? I wanted to just make a reservation at one of the restaurants and they said I couldnt do that. I have to pay $1000 to rent space and then pay a minimum of $70 per head for catering. We are getting married there but not the reception. I cant see paying all that money for food and drinks and an all inclusive hotel. That is why we picked that place was for the all inclusive. Even if I wanted just appetizers, still have to pay the 1000 bucks to "Rent" space.

Hi, my name is Wendy. I will be getting married at the Wyndham Sugar Bay at St. Thomas June 2011. This forum has already given me great ideas!
