Nice to see another Atlanta bride planning for a USVI wedding! Everything certainly beats what's available here for weddings! Here is the info for the person I was in touch with from the tourism board: Renee James-Lovejoy Sales Team Administrative Assistant U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Tourism 3961 Floyd Road Suite 300-391 Austell, GA 30106 T: 404-688-0906 F: 770-745-2757 E: [email protected] W: www.visitusvi.com

Jenn, we have Blueglass booked for our August 2011 wedding in St John, so I'll be sure to let you know how it goes. We tried to get Sage Parker and Kelly O, but neither were available. I think that Blueglass will do a really wonderful job though. Good luck with your planning!!

Does anyone know of a good place to order solid color drawstring backpacks from? I'd like to find some for under $2 each.

Those turned out really great! Congrats on getting them in the mail

1. Name: Kim 2. Where are you from: Atlanta, GA 3. Where are you getting married in St Thomas: Next Island over- St John...on Peace Hill, but using many STT vendors 4. When are you getting married: August 6, 2011 5. Who is your WC?- Janelle from Island Bliss

Thanks so much for the tips! Do you think one month is far enough in advance to ship boxes? Sorry to hear one of yours got lost, did you have it insured?

Hi Ladies, We are currently planning our August 6, 2011 wedding in St John, however, we'll be using several St Thomas vendors. Janelle @ Island Bliss is our planner, and she has been great so far. We're also using DJ Snow and Blueglass photography. MoeMarx: I would love to hear what you guys think of the cakes you try! We aren't going to be getting back down there before the wedding so we'll just have to cross our fingers! I don't know if we'll use a bakery in STT or STJ yet. amys325: Did you ship any boxes down to Janelle in advance? I am a little worried about how much that is going to cost.... Oh also- a tip for everyone: I live in Atlanta and saw that there is a local USVI tourism board here, so I got in touch with them via email to see if they might have some maps of the islands available. Well, she sent me a box full of USVI t-shirts, bottle openers, luggage tags and maps!! So, these are all going in our welcome bag!! http://www.visitusvi.com/homepage

I ordered mine from Etsy seller bbond0520, she was great to work with. Those of you more creative DIY'ers could probably duplicate these pretty easily though! Here they are:

Wow, your stuff looks wonderful so far! Thanks for sharing...great inspiration!

The deal is good for the next six days, here is the link: http://www.kgbdeals.com/national I checked out the website and they have some pretty cute beach/destination wedding favors! Thinking about getting the cute little rolling suitcase mint tins for my OOT bags

Kind of like this....

Thanks Crys419! Nope, we won't be bowing at the alter, so I'll probably have the photographer take my picture with my legs out sitting forward, or with my FI holding me....we'll see!

What fantastic ideas....like I really needed to add another thing to the vistaprint list!! I love them though, such creative ladies here

Are any of the beach bags still available? Thanks!

Those turned out awesome! I wish I had found this forum before we spent $78 ordering our very basic STD's....live and learn, right?!!

Great idea, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for all the details, that helps! Putting them in the containers is such a great idea!

I like this idea! Would custom cups in a bright color work?

Thanks for the mixbook review, I was wondering about them!

Those are gorgeous!!

Congrats! Your pictures are beautiful!!!

Wow, this makes me want to plan a trip to Costa Rico! I've always heard amazing things.

I love that Mori Lee dress, Aphrodite! And Jonesr1979, you looked absolutely stunning!!!

Congratulations Lua! Everything looks so wonderful, your guests are going to be thrilled! Hoping you have a fantastic time

Everything looked wonderful! Congrats and thx for sharing!!
