Hi mrl, it's better to call. For my favors i'm doing minature Appleton rum with personalized shots glasses in a hot pink organza bag.

Their store is  5 mins away from Sunset beach resort. They told me that they would deliver. I just gave then the date when i wanted the rum to be delivered and payment is expected when delivered.

I will PM you about what happened with the resort.  I am buying my OOT stuff now.  The usual medicine stuff, a fun kit (I just got some stadium cups made), and I'm going to do an old school candy kit (chico sticks, fireballs, lemonheads, baked beans).  You?

Oh yeah . i would of done the same , I doing the usual medicine stuff as well. We are going to make CD's using the songs we have on our website. We might add some personalized tee shirts.  BTW i loves me some chico sticks

The planning has slowed down alot.  Trying to get my Groom and son all jazzed up. I can't think of anything else that I need to do but wait for my other RSVPs to finish booking or cancel so that I can update my count. I have been planning for 30 and that is how much I have ordered for OOT bags and such.  So I'm just twiddling my thumbs for now until I get a final count. I am driving my BMs crazy asking them if there is anything that they need me to do, lol. 

 

Oh yes, trust me, I know all about those resort flower prices.  I don't know who they get their flowers from to charge sooooo much!  I'm going to do the a la carte menu. Yes, I got a contract but I don't think anything is in stone just yet.  I just hope they don't try to boot me again before its finalized (can they do that?). 

 

What are you doing about music?  $700 for a DJ sounds crazy!

Thank you..

Yeah their flowers are a bit steep. They have a contarct with Grande Garden.  What do you mean they booted you? Did you give a deposit to secure your date?

I'm still waititng on a  final count as well. My RSVP deadline is at the end of this month.  What are you doing for you OOT bags. I'm doing the A la carte as well

Unfortunatley i'm going to have to go with their $700 DJ

Hi mrl, I hope you had a wonderful Easter...How's the planning coming along? Did you end up chosing Jan's flowers.  The resort is charging me and arm and a leg for flowers. I just sent Jan a quote request for flowers.

Are you doing the a la carte menu or the buffet?  

By the way did you get a contract from Olivene yet?

Your right about the sashes....I didn't even think about sending someone down to place them.  I think I will do this instead. 

 

(What are you doing for your centerpiece I'm still waiting on Olivene to give me a price for centerpieces.)  I'm going to let Jan's do the centerpieces.  A low floral arrangement with tealights. I think I'm going to add some seashells to the table though. 

 

Are you doing a welcome dinner?   No, I decided to just do a dinner with my bridal party and then have a welcome cocktail hour with the rest of the guests in a free area.

  

When are you arriving?  August 2nd.

 

Are you having a private reception?   Yes, we are going to use the sundowner terrace.

 

 

 

how much is jen charging for the centerpieces?

Is sunset charging the vendor fee?

For the AHR, I wanted to do a backyard bbq but my FI wanted something inside, so we are doing a tropical themed reception/party at a hotel but I'm going to keep that number low too.  Working with Kathy is okay....I don't see eye to eye with her all the time so we speak now and then, but generally she is a calming voice to talk to sometimes.  

Tanesha and Olivene have been okay, there was alot of drama related to my date but it has been worked out now.  Have you had trouble getting things done for you for free like they were for the brides from the past?  Like I was going to bring my own sashes to have them placed, but now they are saying that there is a fee for that too.  I almost booked a flight down there earlier this month to make sure everything was okay but the resort is trying to accomodate me.  Is the resort going to discount some items for you since your bringing a large number? Are you using a outside florist?  I'm going to use Jan's, they have been very quick at responding and their prices are cheaper than the other florists I have talked to including the resort.

Whew, 75, and its only March!! ( I know its crazy)   Do you have the BM dress in mind yet? (Yes I have bridesmaid dresses in mind. I'm allowing the girls to choose there own style. I am going to place the order this week.)  I ordered my bm dresses on this past Thursday, I used one of the etsy sellers to make wrap dresses. (That was my initial thought was to have the girls were wrap dresses but they were expensive.)

For the AHR, I wanted to do a backyard bbq but my FI wanted something inside, so we are doing a tropical themed reception/party at a hotel but I'm going to keep that number low too.( We are having a backyard bbg as well with the tropical theme.)  Working with Kathy is okay....I don't see eye to eye with her all the time so we speak now and then, but generally she is a calming voice to talk to sometimes. ( lol lol same here we done see eye to eye on certain things as well)

Tanesha and Olivene have been okay, there was alot of drama related to my date but it has been worked out now. (That's great )  Have you had trouble getting things done for you for free like they were for the brides from the past?  Like I was going to bring my own sashes to have them placed, but now they are saying that there is a fee for that too.( Really I'm bringing my own sashes and have my ushers place them . That's crazy a fee, I refuse to pay a fee)I almost booked a flight down there earlier this month to make sure everything was okay but the resort is trying to accomodate me.  Is the resort going to discount some items for you since your bringing a large number? (I don't know yet I haven't really discussed that with them yet, I would hope so) Are you using an outside florist? (No I'm not using an outside florist. I'm trying to avoid that $250 vendor fee. I'm using real touch flowers for my bridal party. It was so much cheaper. For the ceremony and the reception ill use the resort) I'm going to use Jan's, they have been very quick at responding and their prices are cheaper than the other florists I have talked to including the resort. (What are you doing for your centerpiece I'm still waiting on Olivene to give me a price for centerpieces.)

lol Same here, I'm trying not to lose my mind as well. I still have not ordered my bridesmaid dresses. I have 75 ppl confirmed now,i did not expect or anticpated that large of a number. We are trying to plan a AHR reception as well. What are you going to do for your AHR? How's working with Kathy and the new wedding planner Olivene at Sunset?

Hi mrl , hows the wedding planning at sunset coming along.

Sorry i am so late i am a nursing student with a lot of demands!!!! any questions PM or post her. Also i have a review posted at http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/products/sunset-beach-resort-and-spa-all-inclusive. Natalie no longer works there, i am close with her and some of the decor wasn't provided by hotel, 3rd party so i will have to get that info for you, if you are interested!!!!

Thank you yes i mailed out the invites in the pink #10 policy envelope.  No not really if the passport imvitation is the only thing going in the envelope. If you plan to send anything else, I would suggest a pocketfold.  good luck with your project

Do you think some pocket fold is needed instead of putting passport in the mailing envelope?
