New, with tags. David's Bridal Style D3586

This was supposed to be my reception dress but the party was so great and we took so many pictures that I never had time to change into it!  I haven't worn it, tailored it or even taken the tags off but David's won't let me return it.  If you'd like it, make me an offer, pay shipping and its yours.

Mrs. Smith

Yes, I'm an Iberostar Grand bride getting hitched in less than 2 weeks! :-)
 

It'll work out!  We planned for 50 - 65 people but after my future father in law informed us that his 2 best friends are coming, we are up to 87 people at our wedding in less than 2 weeks. :-) At this point, I choose to be happy about it.  Just think, this many people want to bask in the beauty of your marriage, Jamaica and your love!  Hopefully you can soon smile about it.
 

Aww, we'll miss you!  We leave May 31. :-)
 

Name: Melissa (FI: Danda)

Location: Iberostar Rose Hall Grand in just 61 Days!!

Friday, May 25, 2012

In JA: May 22 - May 30, 2012

Can't wait.

73 booked as of yesterday.

Just picked these out for the bridesmaids.

So excited! 61 days away!

Couldn't agree more!  In the end, you'll be beautiful, your FI will be dashing and you'll look back on the journey with smiles.  Don't become overwhelmed along the way.  I say this having had a mild situation last night when our 74th guest RSVP'ed (we've been planning for 65 people MAX).  :-) I know if will be a memorable weekend and I'm thankful so many are able and excited to share in it with us.

I'm so excited ladies!  We are 86 days out and have 49 people booked.  If we keep moving at this rate, we will probably have about 60 guests.  I must say, I didn't think this many people would be able to make the journey and I am more than thrilled.  The weekend will surely be epic!

Have you all vacationed at/visited your wedding venue already?

Welcome!  My FI and I are marrying at the Rose Hall Grand in May of this year as well.  What's your wedding date?

Oh no!  I'm sorry to hear you've had trouble with them and glad you're arriving early to finalize things.  I'm sure it will all work out beautifully sans extra costs. ;-)

Deangelis2 be, any advice based on the wedding you are planning on 4/28?  I'm getting married on 5/25 and things are going well so far but you may have the inside scoop now that you're working on your 2nd wedding at the Grand!

I'm so excited, Brides! We are getting married on the 25th of May and so far we have 43 people booked!  This is going to be amazing.  The planners at the Grand have been fantastic thus far.  Sagesma, let Angellie and Janielle know if you need anything.

My cousins are in Mo Bay so I'm asking them to find something for me.  There are several souvenir shops that offer discounts for bulk purchases there on the island and I won't have to worry about shipping or carrying on from DC. :-)

ClassADiva, I love that bag!  Hadn't really considered jute, wes debating about canvas or paper but this is fabulous!

Good idea.  I've been looking for personalized bags but it would be so much cheaper if we just ironed on our logo. :-)

Perfect!  I'm looking for a reusable type bag but the minimum order of 100 that I keep seeing on websites is prohibitive because we only need 35!  This is a great find and not much more expensive than a plain paper or plastic alterntive.  Thanks!

This is fantastic! I'm getting married in May and am trying to figure out what else I will add to the bag.  The personalized notepads and pens along with the survival kit are great ideas! Thank you so much!

2012 rates are twice those for 2011?!  Say it isn't so!  I just emailed the coordinators for the updated rates but I've certainly been working from the figures I received when I booked this June for my May 2012 ceremony.

Hey QTSkee 78!  So happy to hear you're marrying at the Grand and you're not that far from me (in DC).  I've seen a few brides from the DMV and am absolutely ecstatic about returning to the Grand this May.  let me know how the site visit goes! Angellie and Janielle are great.

The centerpieces are a great idea!  How many people are you expecting?  I'm trying to decide on the complexity of my centerpieces but I don't know exactly how many tables I'll have yet.

Loved it!  The don not disturb hangers were especially cute and we WILL be using something similar. Thanks!

Woo hoo!  I just added my baby and me!  May 25, 2012 at the Grand, 192 days to go. ;-)

Great question.  I'm working with Jodi-Ann to figure out prices now.  I love candles and luminaries so hopefully matching those with flowers will reduce the overall costs.  I'll let you know!

Thanks, Jamie!  I'm going to check them out.  86 booked!? That's great!
