Definitely Key West Cakes... Here are the cupcakes they made for our wedding.

There aren't any AI's in Key West. But I didn't think it was necessary for my wedding weekend. There are a lot of bars/restaurants that people wanted to try so it was better to not have an AI. A lot of the places that people rented included little kitchens so they made a lot of food at their places!

I am getting married at the Ocean Key Resort on 6/2/13. I will definitely be sharing some pictures and reviews afterwards if you need the assistance. I also have a lot of quotes from other vendors. Let me know if you need help.

I have 10 bouquets That I ordered from save on crafts and love them. and Saved soooo much money!

We ordered our Real Touch Bouquets at save-on-crafts.com... They were $16/piece. These bouquets are for the bridesmaids and then will go into the centerpieces. We will be wrapping them in black and pink ribbon. We got the vases at Ikea for $4.99/each. The submersible LED lights and expandable water beads are from Michael's. Here is a mock Centerpiece without the ribbon on the bouquets.

Rum Barrel is casual. Roof Top Cafe is really nice. Let me know if you need any help!

Hi Everyone!! First off, this forum is what helped me create these invitations and helped me save a ton of money. So far, we have received a lot of compliments on them and I feel a sense of pride for spending the hours of time to make them! I want to give a rough price breakdown because I know that is very important! I made a little over 60 of them. Most of the stuff was purchased at Michael's with lots of coupons! White cardstock for the boarding passes, monograms and RSVP tags.- 50 pages for $2.50. I printed 3 boarding passes per page, then 20 monograms per page, and 8 RSVP tags per page, so this was PLENTY! (the cardstock was light, so I'm not sure if that will work for everyone, but this ensured no extra shipping cost!) Black cardstock for the boarding pass sleeves and behind the monograms- 50 pages for $2.50-I purchased 2. I used 1 page per sleeve and used the excess to make the backing of the monograms. Same cardstock weight as the white. The Belly Bands were made out of 12 x 12 patterned paper from Michael's and were 19 cents a piece! I bought 12 of these. I made about 6 belly bands per page. The envelopes I purchased on Staples website- 50 envelopes for $6.99. I purchased 2 and will probably use the remainder for thank you cards. Also purchased from Michael's was the corner rounder and the double sided adhesive tape. I can't remember the exact cost but I believe the rounder was about $4, and I used a 40% off coupon. The tape was in a pack of 2 for no more than $6. I orginally got a friend that works at UPS to print these out and then after she printed them out, I realized I had spelled my own name wrong for the website. I was very upset at myself!! But at Fedex, it's like 15 cents per page to print I believe. We got 1" round labels to put the monogram on and seal the envelopes. I don't remember the exact price, but it was probably no more than $15 for like 400 labels. They were 20 per sheet, so I used 3 sheets, but we are actually using the rest for "place cards" by sticking them to these candy tins we got from Michael's and putting names and table #'s on them. So if you want to break the price down, I used no more than $2 worth for the invites. I had my own paper cutter, so didn't have to spend anything on that. I got 3 books of stamps for $9.20 each to send all of them. I would say in total I spent rougly $60, bringing my total to $1 per invite including postage! It took me a little to get everything right (including spelling my own name correctly) but in the end it was totally worth it!! Also, we saved return postage doing our RSVP on our website. It has worked out great. Our website has received a lot of compliments as well. We used Wedsite.com for it. Front of Sleeve Back of Sleeve-Here is where we posted the instructions for our online RSVP. Sorry, the picture quality isn't so great! Here is the sleeve and the the pass Here is the envelope with the seal. Here is the monogram I created Let me know if anyone has questions or needs help!

Florida is a great place to have a destination wedding, depending what part and what time of year you would like to get married. I am getting married in Key West next November, so it won't be too hot and humid. Any part of the Keys would be great. But also, I would look into Miami. Are you thinking a beach wedding? I have a lot of info on Key West Resorts if that might a place of interest for you. Good luck!

I am also getting married in Key West next year and I'm going there this year to get postcards and brochures for the OOT bags. Im sure you can order some Key West postcards online and I've seen some brochures that you can print out. Looking at the earlier threads for gift bags has been helpful for me. They include things like chapstick, hand sanitizer, customized koozies, tylenol, etc. Where are you getting married??
