Sunshine, I just looked at several different ideas that I found around the internet and combined them into my own. It took some work, but it was pretty cost efficient considering the $75 ones I was looking at online!! I used favorite memory of the trip, favorite memory with the bride and groom, and a spot to write advice or draw a picture. The last spot I left open for a photo of each person from the night, which I still need to insert!

Hi ladies! Pretty sure I promised some pics of the food from the Suites, so I'm finally here to do it! Pics are from my iphone, so not the best quality! Here are pics from Calabash. They look a little scary, but I will promise, everything is AMAZING!!! Not one person had a complaint. This was by far my favorite dining experience!!! Smoked salmon appetizer: Wild asparagus soup: Lobster salad: Candied tenderloin steak. Our server told us from the beginning that we were welcome to order double portions. This is a double portion. Snapper timbale: Duck? Grilled lamn ribs: (possibly a double portion) Sauteed shrimp:

Here are some of my finished painted shells. I used metallic acrylic paint and I lined my aisle with these as well as my tables at the reception. I did a DIY guest book- for the outside I hot glued on ribbon. I used a scrapbook from Hobby Lobby and added an engagement pic. It did end up a little wavy. I designed and printed pages for the inside. Each guest filled one out. I have to add, my fiance's brother (and groomsman) passed away unexpectedly 5 days after returning from our wedding trip. Most people did not get around to doing an entire page at the wedding, so it was fairly empty. Several days after his funeral, I found that he had done a page in the back that we had never noticed. It's one of our most treasured memories.... I made it for us to add in pictures from the wedding later.

Here is another project that I did for my Bridesmaid's gift. They are decoupaged flasks. I bought the flasks online for about $3 each (free shipping) and the glitter paper at Hobby Lobby. I trimmed the paper to fit the flask, coated the glitter side in clear varnish and let it dry, then coated the flask and the back of the paper, and applied. I held the ends together until it was faily set. I did add an extra coat all over later, especially to the edges and the ends of the paper. You could use any kind of paper for this. I then applied crystal sticker appliques, and coated again in varnish. The larger two were for my Bridesmaids, and the smaller ones for my other female guests, so they didn't feel left out. Here is what each girl received on wedding day, along with a card in my colors, handwritten to each girl, thanking them for coming and for their place in my life. The Bridesmaids also had a package: This is what was in the package: (I made these for my bridesmaids to wear on wedding day, as well as one for my daughter/flower girl. I have been making jewelry for a couple years, but these were very simple. They are all sterling silver and Swarovski crystal, with a handstamped initial.

Here is the travel and trip itinerary. I no longer have these files on this hard drive so I'm searching my old emails for them!! In order to use this, I believe you will need to download two fonts: Baroque Script and Tropicana BV. Let me know if you have success with it or not!! Jamaica Travel and Trip Itinerary.docx

Thanks ladies! Krs398, I thought it might, and it did a little, but not nearly as bad as I was expecting! I didn't dance in it much though. I did my first dance and then changed. My plan if it bothered me too bad was to tuck the strap in- it makes the dress look like a strapless and still looks great!

Well all, I'm back from a week of bliss and STRUGGLING to adjust to reality!!! I've already decided I'm going to have to start planning my next vacation in order to get out of this funk! It was beautiful, amazing, and went WAY too fast! I'm hoping to get my pro pics before I post my review, but I'll add my pics and bits and pieces of info as I think of it. Here's my table at Aunt Ruby's (Suites): (17 people, non-private, three large cylinder vases, four small square vases, about 12 large votive candles, 20 small votives, no chargers) They put the Christmas lights up right before our reception and they were perfect!! Cake: Tenderloin at Steakhouse: One of the desserts at the Steakhouse: Background at the Steakhouse (there were other people, but we didn't even notice).

I had 15 min of music before and about 15 after. We ran a little late getting started, so they replayed a couple. I don't think anybody noticed. They also used one of my songs during the signing. Afterwards we stood around taking pics for a while, so they replayed a couple songs then too. So basically if you don't have enough, they'll adjust. They do a great job at it! Can't WAIT to get my pics to show you all from today. I saw some and they were turning out AMAZING!!! I also have a ton of pics of food from different restaurants and the grounds and rooms I can share later. If someone wants a pic of something in particular, let me know in the next day or so and I can try to get it!

Posting from Jamaica and LOVING it!!! Just as a note, I remember reading before that you couldn't use an IPOD for ceremony music- just a note that at the Suites you CAN. I was thinking I still needed to burn music onto a CD, but Nicole told me that's not necessary. She was definitely more organized when I met with her today than I am at this point. Any questions about the resort set-up/restaurants/etc while I'm here and I'd be happy to try to answer.
