    Woohoo good thread!  We're sending invitations at the end of January, probably with a March 1st RSVP date (our room block is only held until 3/22).  I'm estimating 100 guests, and I could be surprised either way - but I made enough OOT bags for that count (my friend and I sewed them - glad that's done!), and I'm buying the contents to fit that # too.  I figure even if I end up with some extra, it's better than having to cram it in at the last minute.  I also have a huge professional exam that will keep me from doing any planning from Feb - the first week in June, so I have to get things done.

     

    Vendors are all set except for cake (can't decide what I want to do).  I already made my bride/flower girl hangers, OOT bags, and bought over half the stuff for the OOT bags.  Got my dress, we bought wedding bands (my bank account hurts).  We're looking for my sister's dress (my only BM) and my niece's (flower girl).  I'm making tulle pomanders to go on the aisle chairs at the ceremony (and then moved to reception for decor somehow, not sure yet).  I've made 4.5 out of 18 so far.  That's my current project.  

     

    Next up (things I can do before I have a head count):  place card holders, getting invitations printed (another DIY that I really need to start this weekend) and put together, addressing said invitations (mom and I are doing that), design pre-travel brochure and maybe sew luggage tags to send with it, design menu, find or make flower girl basket and ring pillow, table #s, gifts for parents, barefoot jewelry for my sister and niece.  I'm sure there are things I'm forgetting, but I'll stop here because I think I just broke out in hives thinking about all this.

     

    Would LOVE to see what other people are doing!

    Wow, you have accomplished a lot.  I am also having a big wedding.  We are expecting 100 at RIU Ocho Rios. I will be sending my invites out this week.  Next will be the wedding bands.

    Congratulations on your wedding!  I am getting married the month before.  I have been able to get in touch with the wedding planner.  If you are still having issues, let me know I will be glad to help you.  I am also doing the free package, but have a lot of guests, so it is costing us a little bit more, but definitely worth it!

    Hello Ladies, I was in Jamaica for Thanksgiving. I arranged to do a site visit with Keisha when I was there. She was right on time, professional and great to work with. She answered all of my questions and showed me around the resort. Again if you have questions do not hesitate to contact her. She is easy to talk to. I know I made the right choice for my wedding location. Let me know if I can help in any way!

    I am getting married June 15, 2013.  I have been communicating with Keisha since July.  Despite what corporate says, she will begin working with you if you contact her.  She responds quickly and will even call you if you need her to.  I hope this eases your stress level.  If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. I think I have asked her every possible question in the book already.  :)
