Hi everyone!
I'm newly engaged and have found these forums incredibly helpful!! We are having our wedding in Jamaica next year and are trying to decide between registering for gifts or not.  Neither of us really want to because it's a destination wedding and it's such a huge expense, we don't want our guests to give us gifts, their attendance is more than enough.  That being said, I know there will be people who can't make it and still want to give a gift, my dilemma is if I don't register, will people feel forced to give cash if they don't want to?? I would just give cash myself, but don't want people to feel they have to? Help! What is everyone else doing?

My apologies if there is already a string about this, I couldn't find one

Thanks for your help!

Great site! Thanks for sharing

Wow, those look gorgeous! The bottles are a great idea!! Congrats!

Where did you find those little bottles??

Wow, these are amazing!! Did you use a template or make them from scratch??
I would love to make either boarding pass or passport invites but don't even know where to begin!! I also don't have a printer - did you print them at home?

Thanks!

Hi! I checked Michaels for invitation kits and didn't see any boarding pass or passport ones, do they exist anywhere? I would really like to make my own and need some good templates I think.

I'm going to also start playing around with word, and the other programs to get some ideas printed out.

I love that idea! I've been trying to decide between the two I think I might go ahead with fuschia & tangerine... I've only just started planning and am really torn! lol!

Just wondering what prompted you to change from the Suites to the Beach?? I'm currently booked at the Suites (wedding date reserved) and am waiting on quotes from my TA.

 

Thanks!!

I think it's also important to note that the agreement doesn't really lock you in to anything - you can still cancel without any penalty, unless you've sent in all your legal paperwork, in which case they charge you $100.

Here's mine... he did good! I love it almost as much as I love him!

I would love to see the menu if you could PM me! Thanks so much

Wow, those are really beautiful! Very creative, elegant and fun all at once, how can anyone say no!?

Hi Lizk23,

I'm thinking about booking as well for around the same time (January/February 2012), would you mind sharing pricing info with me? We're going to be about 50, I'm thinking we'll do ceremony + dinner, I'm just wondering how it compares to the Iberostar pricing. With all the extras, Iberostar is definitely adding up!!

Thanks so much!
