  1. This is such a cute & unique idea!! I am loving it!!!! Do you know how much they are individually to buy?
  2. Everything is gorgeous!!! You have all the cutest details and I actually LOVE your color scheme When I first read red and pink I was like huh?!?! But I love the way everything looks!!! CONGRATULATIONS on a job well done!!
  3. I love all of your DIY projects!! There is NO WAY I could do that I do not have the patience to do as many as I would need!! Hahaha Thank god for Rebecca!! She is a savior!!
  4. I love your drink cheat sheets!! What did you have on there it is too small of a picture to actually read it!!
  5. Everybody knew that they were all in my wedding it was all kind of assumed when I got engaged but i absolutely fell in love with these and felt I had to order them and send them to my girls in the mail!!! Especially for the little ones!! They went into the mail today so hopefully they will all have them by the end of the week!!
  6. I have been battling the idea of favors. I am doing great Oot bags and originally thought favors at the actual reception would just be too much. I am now having second thoughts. I am asking all of my guests to take time off from work and fly hours away for me so I think they also deserve a favor!! I am really trying to incorporate "Jamaica" into my wedding. Jamaica is known for Reggae, Their Language, Jerk, and Rum. I really would like to have one of these items represented as my wedding favor but in an elegant manner and I am absolutely stumped with no ideas at all. I know nips of rum could be tasteful but I really don't want to do that as we are staying at an all-inclusive resort and I really want something that is more elegant like........ SO PLEASE BRING ON ALL OF YOUR GREAT IDEAS!! There are many unique and wonderful women on this website and you have all helped greatly in the beginning stages of my planning!!! Please help some more!!! Can't wait to hear what you all have to say!!
  7. I ordered Will you be my bridesmaid cookies from user "cookiemamas" on Etsy. They are absolutely great to work with! They got my cookies to me in NO time!!! Here are how they came out with the cards I made for each of my bridesmaids, maid of honor, junior bridesmaid and flower girl!! Each card had a personalized message inside telling them why I chose them to be a part of my wedding and a picture from our childhood together!!
  8. Very Very Nice!! You have such pretty colors!!! Where did you get your towels made? I LOVE them!!
  9. Just in the planning stages of my Negril, Jamaica wedding! I was wondering how everybody is actually booking their weddings? Are you going directly through the resort or are you calling a travel agent and having all of your guests go through that agent also? Please post about your feelings and experiences!!
  10. That is actually SO true that is the one thing I am worried about is transporting them not just them but EVERYTHING! I hate that the resort will not let me ship anything but I guess it will be much less to just pay for the extra suitcase then pay for shipping to Jamaica.
  11. Beaches Resort Negril, Jamaica After a month of switching my colors around I have finally decided! My FI and I have decided on all whites, Ivory's, and light green! We thought the nice simple whites would compliment the ocean background beautifully. OOT Bag Ideas: (Open for ideas): Oot bags will be white with a logo printed on the front. (Not a reusable bag) Filled with white tissue paper 1) Kiehls vital sun protection lotion SPF 30 (1 per bag) 2) Kiehls deluxe hand & body lotion with Aloe & Oatmeal (1 per bag) 3) Grandma Lulus sand dollar cookies (15 per bag) in cellophane bags 4) Light green rock candy wrapped up in clear baggies 5) Personalized Travel Mugs for the all-inclusive drinks! I have decided that I am going to have white peonies, hydrangea's, and roses for my flowers. Tons of them everywhere! I am actually looking into real touch flowers and would love input about these flowers and how they actually feel/look in person.... I am getting personalized pashminas for each women attending the ceremony. These are going to be white and embroidered with there first name in a caramel color and will be on the back of their chair at the ceremony! The invitations are going to be made by papermints.com That is a sample of what our invitation will look like! Any ideas are welcome. I am still in the beginning stages of planning and i LOVE all of the input!
  12. My FI, my mother, my *second* mother, and I are all taking a trip down to Jamaica before the wedding! This trip is booked for Jan. 2012 anything anybody recommends to do? I am going to get a hair and makeup trial done because this one thing that I am concerned about. Another thing we are doing is hiring a photographer to do engagement photos down there also. I am really looking for any other ideas. We are of course going to meet with the coordinators to talk to them but is there anything that you wish you could of done before the wedding but just couldn't because you weren't actually in Jamaica?
  13. I am getting married in Negril, Jamaica. I am looking for a makeup artist/hair stylist to come to my room the day of the wedding and do my hair plus my 5 bridesmaids, my junior bridesmaid, flower girl, my mother and my FI's mother... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
  14. That is AWESOME about the fans!! That is a cool little gadget to throw into your OOT bags!! Haha isn't it crazy what we get excited over!! The rest of my family thinks I'm crazy how excited I get haha at least I have other people who understand me!! The temporary tattoos are great! That is definitely something I need start thinking about, I would obv. want to do my own design.... hmmm.. more thinking!!
  15. Wow, I love the Blue Mountain Coffee Idea! I think I am going to snatch that for my favors actually! I have been trying to think of something local for those and just couldn't put my finger on exactly what I wanted!! Thank you so much!!
  16. http://www.etsy.com/listing/47121595/chocolate-sea-shells-mini-beach-in-a-bag?ref=v1_other_1 I can also say that I LOVE these and will be ordering them to go in my OOT bags!!
  17. I LOVE the temporary tattoo idea!! Where are you getting them done?!? I think that would be a GREAT addition to my bags! I am hauling everything down there in suitcases! I know my FI and I are going to ten days to Beaches and we are going to pack in one suitcase! Haha I have NO idea how it is going to happen but it has too! My mother and my father are taking the same flight down as us so of course I am going to make them take a suitcase full of all of my things! I hate that we are not allowed to ship things down the the beaches resort. I have been going back and fourth about doing flip flops for everyone. I am thinking just the bridal party for the reception afterward. I feel that forty pairs of flip flops are going to weigh a lot. I have also come up with the idea to make door hangers to put into the welcome bags. This way it is a bit easier for people looking for each other. It will have our last name and wedding on it I have been trying to find a good place to get them personalized and if I can't find anything I may just make my own!! What kinds of candy is everyone bringing down? I fell in love with the godiva starfish chocolates and the godiva open shell chocolates but I am so worried about the shipping of them down in a suitcase! So what are the types and how are you transporting those things?
  18. Yes, It is a long time.... but I am just thinknig of it as I have plenty of time to really think through everything that I want to make everything perfect!! Although I honestly can not wait!!!
  19. http://www.tortugarumcakes.com/ You can order them in 4 oz. sizes they come in a box of 6. They are a bit pricey but I think everyone will enjoy them and I only have to fill like 16 oot bags!! Everyone will enjoy them, they are absolutly delicious!
  20. This information is GREAT! I have been debating back and forth on travel mugs or custom koozies and I think my question is answered! It seems the travel insulated mugs will be great for my guests getting drinks at the bar!! They won't have to return to the bar as often because I am guessing that they give you small drinking cups!
  21. Wow reciepts? I would of never in a million thought of that! Thank you for the heads up! I'd hate to be there and then have to get rid of everything I think I'd start crying! haha
  22. I am just starting to plan my OOT bags for my Jamaica wedding! I have read many posts on this website and numerous others. I have taken all of the information that I have gathered and put my own little twist on it to make it my own!!! I am looking for feedback and suggestions!! Thanks!! Bags are going to be palm leaf totes! Inside Treats Include: 1) Welcome letter thanking all guests for traveling 2) Shuttefly card asking to upload pictures (These two items will be done at vista print on postcard size cardstocks and will be placed in a netted envelope with some seashells included!) 3) Plantain Chips 4) Tortuga Rum Cakes (These little babies come in 4 oz. sizes and will be 2 per bag) 5) Coconut M&M's (2 bags per OOT bag) 6) Custom Koozies or Custom Insulated Drink Cups (Still undecided which I want) 7) Mrs. Field's mini cookies in small personalized bags with a monogram sticker for closing bags 8) Underwater Camera (1 per bag - figured this was something not alot of people would bring) 9) Survival Kit - Advil - Tylenol - Aloe Gel - Aloe Lotion - Small Ice Pack - SPF Lipbalm 10) Fiji Waters Please leave feedback and some additional ideas!! Thanks so much!
  23. I am just starting to think about my oot bags and I want them to be simply perfect for my guests. I have across millions of ideas and have taken them all in and come up with my own but I am still looking for some great ideas to add-on or change my list. I have decided that I love the look of the palm bags although the beach bags are nice with the monograms and screen printing, I want my guests to be able to use them timeand time again and I'm not sure if they will if my FI and my names are plastered across them! So Inside my bags I have been thinknig about.... 1) A welcome letter thanking everyone for traveling for our wedding. 2) A shutterfly notecard asking everybody to uplaod their pictures to that website for all to enjoy. 3) Underwater Cameras (1 per bag) I think it is something most people won't remember to bring! 4) Plantain Chips 5) Tortuga rum cakes (They sell this in 4oz. packages, I thought it would be a great enhancement to the bags) 6) 2 Fiji Waters (I choose Fiji because it is more of a tropical looking bottle rather than have custom labels done up.) 7) Coconut M&M's (2 packages per bag) 8) Survival Bag filled with Advil - Tylenol - Small Cool Pack - Aloe Lotion - Aloe Gel - SPF Lip Balm 9) Custom Koozies ( 1 per person) I'm thinknig that I'd to have at least SIX more things to put into my bags!! Looking forward to hearing all of your suggestions!
  24. Have just booked my Beaches Negril, Jamaica for June 2, 2013!! I know it is a long way away but I will have a extra long time to make everything perfect. From looking at the threads on here there is a lot of work ahead of me! It's awful but I am already thinking about my welcome bags and pre-wedding binders with luggage tags to hand out before we leave!
