haven't decided yet, but I'm leaning towards 3 or 4.. The 3 was booked when last we checked - is that you? I noticed that you were looking for 4 in one of your posts 0 they told us it was open. just fyi if you had your heart set.

Hi Ladies (and guys if youre out there!) I was looking for a bit of advice on stds and invites: 1. how far in advance did you send out stds? 2. should we send stds and invites to everyone we would invite if we were to have the wedding at home, even though we know many (most) won't be able to make the trip? 3. I was thinking of just a postcard std then dyi message bottle invites, sent in boxes with add'l info. What should I include with the invite? I don't want to go too crazy as I expect that most people will not make it and plan on sending brochures when people book. any advise for lowering the cost? Thanks in advance!!

Ok we are officially booked!! Kelly and Wilson Jan 21, 2012 still working on the details... So happy to have found this thread - full of very useful info - thanks ladies!

Thanks so much Timswife! I had the same info as Lizz, but this clears up so much! While I'm at it, here are a few more ?s: 1. What are the odds of my entire party being seated in one of the restaurants rather than doing the upgraded reception? We are expecting about 30-35 people (including ourselves and several children) total towards the end of Jan 2012 (Lizz I'm thinking 1/21/12 which I believe you had as your original dat. Did you decide to change it?) 2. Has anyone used natural touch flowers? How far in advance shield they be ordered! How did you get them there - shipped ahead or just packed in luggage? 3. When do couples have their first dance? During the standard cocktail reception? Do they allow you to hook up your iPod to a speaker dock for some music? We were considering one of the music upgrades. Any opinions on the dj vs the steel drum? I know I'll have many more ?s as time goes on (prob think of another one in an hour) so any help is much appreciated!!!

Hi everyone! We have been browsing the site and have found it very helpful so far. We are planning a jan or feb, 2012 wedding, but haven't booked yet. I hope we are not too far behind already. Does anyone have any info on menus for the upgraded private reception? We do have some info, but we were hoping that we could give our guests an option for their main course at least. The packet we've received states that the b &g need to choose one option from each category. Thanks - looking forward to hearing everyones plans!

Hi everyone! We have been browsing the site and have found it to be very helpful! We are planning either a Jan or feb, 2012 wedding. Haven't booked yet - are we already behind the 8 ball? Has anyone used destinationweddings.com as a TA? I'm leaning towards the bb package, mainly because it's free and extra tables are only $100. This should save us about $5000 over say the viw package with extra tables. Does anyone know if they use the same centerpiece for the extra tables with this package? Is it too plain? Thanks in advance for any assistance
