Hey ladies,

I just wanted to say thank you for all the words of encouragement and advice along the way. We leave from Atlanta for the Grand on Tuesday the 6th and return on the 16th. I will be sure to post pictures and a review when I return.

Hey ladies,

Just wanted to say thank you ladies for all your words of encouragement along the way. We will be leaving for Iberostar Jamaica on Tuesday the 6th and coming back the 16th just like "Soon2BNJersey". 

I will probably do a planning thread when I come back!

Happy planning ladies.

Is everyone going to Negril for the honeymoon? Did I miss the memo? lol If I did not have everything paid for I would totally head to Negril for the Honeymoon. Maybe I would just have to tell fiance we have to make up for it by going next year. lol

45 sold so far ladies! Still have plenty more left!

Hey Tropical Love,

I am not sure what package they sent you but in August 2010 my package information stated:

"Our wedding package is from up to 2 to10 people. When the group is larger than 10 persons, there is an additional charge of US $20 per person."

I had to really take this into consideration before booking because $20 can really add up. Reading post from other ladies the $20 seems to pay for cake, champagne and extra labor for setting up.
 

I am sorry the resort is putting extra stress on you, hope everything works out well.

I am so frustrated with the nickle and diming this resort is doing. I called my travel agent and ask her how much I would lose if I cancel the wedding and still stay on property. If my guest weren't going to lose money for canceling rooms, I'd go somewhere else!

 

Thanks for letting me VENT!!!

For some reason I can  not edit the listing but I have provided a link below.

100   CLEAR Molded Rigid Plastic Luggage Tag Holders

 I accidently ordered 2 packs of 100.

I paid $56.00 for them. If you do not need all 100 I do not mine splinting the orders.

I used business cards from vista print as inserts for my luggage tags!

Caboose,

I was feeling the same way you were a few days ago. Just due as much as you can a day and the rest will fall into place. We just picked up my FI shoes, best man outfit, and wedding bands this past weekend. We still have to get bridesmaid, best man, parents gifts and FI pants himmed, I need to find another TTD dress because the one I ordered was to small. Still have to finalize programs, key card holder inserts and other items with Rebecca with Allurements by Rebecca. Oh my how you can just start venting on this blog and get carried away. We are almost there and everything will be perfect!!

Happy Planning

What's everyone working on this week?

Hey ladies,

I guess I am the next Grand bride up. I only have 36 days until the wedding and 32 days until we leave. I fell like we still have so much to do but I have been planning things for more than a year now. Everybody's asking me am I nervous about getting married. No, I know what I am getting into. What I am worried about is that everything will not go smoothly like I plan and our credit cards are almost at their max lol!

Happy planning everyone,

LaToya

Hey TropicalLove ,

Are you sure you have the right email for Godfrey guy because he responded to me within minutes and emails about once per week to keep up to date. The email I have for him is [email protected]

I never have a problem with him responding. Hope this helps!

Past or Future Brides,

Has anyone purchased cigar from the Cigar Bar before? If so, are the prices about the same as here in the US?

Has anyone brought cigars to the resort or plan on doing so?

Thanks in advance

Hey My photographer is Ivan Luckie.

Have you heard from RG lately? I emailed him to get his assistant names to give to WC but he did not respond.

Ceremony on the Beach @ 5PM

Bonfire on the Beach 8:30-11:00PM

Just go on his website and thin click BLOG at the top. That will take you to some of his more recent work. I believe they are in HD too. They are better than the one on his website. He told me he had a lot more things to upload but just does not have the time. I booked him for my wedding and I am pretty excited. I talked to him on the phone and he sounded very professional.

Good luck

Me too. I love the blue just because It's unexpected!

Hey daisymable,

I booked RG weddings also for my 9.10.11 wedding. Are you getting HD? How many hours are you going to get? Your wedding will be here in no time! I so excited I decided to get a videographer

Hey daisymarble,

Out of those 3 I think I like RG Weddings the best but I can not get them to contact me. NAS responded and gave me their pricing but I really do not like their work as much. I have not seen any of Marcia Roberts videos. I am really getting close to my date and would love some response from RG weddings. If you hear from them please let me know!

Oh my Goodness eholt, your new role is exactly what I need. It's so sweet and bringing tears to my eyes. Thank you thank you thank you.

By the way your wedding was GORGEOUS!

Hey Heather,

Yes she told me she had a 10am wedding at the Palladium. She informed me that she would get to me at 12pm. I love our wedding date!

I have finally booked with Rashel for my wedding on 9.10.11. I just can't wait!!

Oh ladies I still feel like there is soo much to do.

Yes the drawstring backpack is for the guys and they are from discountmugs.com along with the jute tote bags. The sample I ordered was white but now they do not have any in stock.

I do not have a template for the brochure I just "borrowed" ideas from other ladies of the site and came up with it. I designed it on vistaprint.com and really got them for free. Just paid shipping!

Thanks ladies for all the love!

Oh my for some reason I am just now finding this thread. Well, since I am starting to feel a little anxious about not having enough done I will post everything I have completed. Maybe that will make me feel better. lol

We are getting married on 9.10.11 at Iberostar Grand in Montego Bay Jamaica. Our colors are green, white and grey.

These are our save the dates we sent out last year.

These are our invitations we sent out which were designed and made by Rebecca with Allurements by Rebecca. She is absolutely wonderful and I will be writing a review on her once everything is over. I have only received 4 RSVP back but we have 14 people booked so far.

Since I do not like wind and depending on mother nature we will have the ceremony near the staircase.

These are my flower inspiration picks but of course in our colors.

Our photographer is Ivan luckie.   http://www.luckiephotography.com/

I plan on using this jute tote bag and travel mug for the OOT bags. I order a sample of the mug and drawstring bag and absolutely love them.

I have key card holders done except for the insert with the writing, I have

pashmina to give to the ladies at the welcome dinner,

antibacterial for OOT bags,

postcards for postcard guest

book.

I sent out luggage tags with a thank you for booking letter every time someone booked

I have the brochures completed to mail next month and photo scavenger hunt rack cards completed to mail out in August.

Still so much to do:

get programs, tags for pashminas, sunglasses for guys, stuff for OOT bag, get shoes, FI outfit, my wardrobe, September is coming so fast!!
