im thinking of getting the girls tiffanys bracelets as well, something i know they will love and wont be a waste of money... for the men im not sure, my FI is clueless when it comes to this stuff so not sure what to do for the guys:S

great game ideas ,thanks for sharin! and your right... must be a canadian thing because everyone i know does one

I love the idea of the BD album!

Instead of table numbers you can name tables with yours and hubbys favourite songs. My gf did this and it was really neat, all the songs were played through out dinner and all the guests had to listen for their song. as soon as their song was playing they were to get up and dance/cheer/sing along and the bride and groom would kiss... It was kind of cute and spaced out the amount of kisses which sometimes can be tooooo much at weddings, sometimes people get carried away with the whole clink clink and your necking your groom more than enjoying your wedding he he!

Hey all! I will be getting married at the ROR on May 25, 2011. We land on May 21 and will be there for the week, wondering if there are any other ROR brides out there that will be there for that week? it would be cool to connect with some other girls, help eachother plan and the progress we are making, then celebrate our hard work at the resort! Happy planning to all! -Tessa

Hey , So weird this same thing JUST happend to me!! My wedding is planned for may 21-28 2011, i booked the trip in July with sunquest. I got an amazing group package deal for "Early booking". I was searching two weeks ago to see how much our trip was for the general public on sunquests website in comparison to our group price when i noticed that it was coming up "Unavailable" This alarmed me so I emailed my travel agent. She responded to me a week later and began the phone conversation with "Dont freak out but..." She went on to tell me that the plane SOLD OUT!! I was in such shock... sunquest said they would hold 30 spots with 10 deposits to start the group. My agent gave me the whole not to worry talk. within hours I was livid. I had sent out the save the dates in august stating MAY 21-28, 2011... The agent called me back with options a week later saying things like sunquest would not refund our ten deposits, the rest of the group would need to fly in two days later, or we book our flight, hotel and transportation all separetly which i was completely opposed to. What gets me the most is no one ever took the blame for what happened... sunquest has potential to make almost $80,000 from our group and they go and do this to us. After the longest week of my life and correspondence with my agent she finally was able to get the 10 deposits moved to the 23 of may, so now our whole group gets to fly together BUT two days later. I am so mad at how this could happen, Me and my FI NEVER got a phone call saying "Hey theres only 20 spots left... better get moving" My question to my agent was, what would have happened if I never checked online for the price? With only 6 months left until my wedding I could only imagine. I am trying to be optimistic about this but its hard knowing that such a major corporation can just do this to people with out notifying the group, especially when it was noted we were bringing 50+ people. I still feel so unsure and very uneasy staying with sunquest as my agent has advised me they will not hold any spots for me, all they will tell us is that there are 40 spots available. So now I am busy phoning 175 invited guests and telling them the story and trying to get their deposits in ASAP. Needless to say im crossing my fingers and toes in hopes this will not happen again. my suggestion to other brides is be aware of sunquest and dont beleive everything they say. Does anyone out there have any tips or suggestions on how to deal with this? Some friends/family have been telling me to call the Better business bureau or TICO

Hey I had a hard time with the BM dresses, I wanted something cost efficient only bc my girls are spending a lot of money to come away with us... I was originally looking at twobirds bridesmaid dresses, which are stunning! but at the price of 270 I started researching for other options... i came across the exact same dress for only $40!!! I ordered a sample for myself to see if I liked it, and it works perfect Here are the details: The dress is a convertible dress, so the BMs can wear it 12 different ways! the material is a beautiful and comes in a variety of colours,It rolls up so small (GREAT for travelling and suitcases, no wrinkles when unrolled) its a one size fits all and pretty much fail proof! the girls all tried it on and it looks amazing on the smaller girls as well as the bigger sized, I would definitly recommend this dress to all DWB's and I think its a definite "Wear again" dress!! the designer is elan USA and I purchase online at amazon.com for $40 If

Hey, I am as well planning my wedding at the ROR for may 2011 and had the same thought as you.... i would leave it until i got there. But after reading through these forums it seems a lot of girls are doing a lot of extra things prior to going. Did you find out any good tips or advice after posting? let me know because i have no idea where to start LOL! (Also weird , my name is Tessa B as well he he)

Such a beautiful wedding! I am getting married at the ROR in may 2011, i have had NO correspondence with the wedding corridinators as of yet. How did you find someone for all your decor? is "Jan" an outside decorator? I want beautiful linens, chair covers and center pieces but dont know where to start. As well you feel the poolside was worth the money? Sorry, SO many questions! again beautiful wedding
