Hi We decided not to send out STD, instead we've created a blog and have been updating everyone that way. I simply sent the link out to everyone that is invited and remind them once in a while to check back. I included things like: an introduction to the bridal party, things to do on the resort, places to book, passport applications. I found it to be more information rather than a STD card and we couldn't find anything we liked so.... I figure I will send my invites out about 6 months in advance because the resort needs a final count early enough, which is fine by me lol! Also, one more thing... Have you guys started to think of favours? I've found a pretty neat one, it's a glass bottle that we plan to fill with the sand from the beach put a personalized label and ribbon on it and put it into these super cute bags, but i'm worried they will be/look cheap! I don't want my guest spending all this money to come to our wedding and leave with a bottle filled ith sand ! Thanks for everything!
