Ahh gotcha!-  yeah final payments aren't due til 45 days before they arrive for my resort  

Our booking date with the travel agent was last November to out down the deposits...but final payment is due August 19. We have had a couple people drop out after putting down their deposits. And then a whole lot of people have booked on their own so i am stuck waiting for their actual RSVP!

Dang - my rsvp date was last November and my book by date was February LOL  there is NO way I could have waiting until August to know who was coming - which actually wouldn't have a problem because everyone we invited is coming and I knew they would but still!  Id be going crazy right now!!!

Hello - I am wondering if you would be willing to sell me 3 each of the Large, Medium, and Small pillar candles?  Thanks

I am doing hair and make up at the resort (only other choice is not to do it LOL) same with DJ - Sandals doesn't allow outside vendors.  I'm not doing a DJ though I don't think with my small group it is needed.  We will go to a club after

on a good note - We booked our tickets to St. Lucia yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   To lessen the stress about packing we did 1st class - can have 3 - 70 lb checked bags each  If that isn't enough I'll die!

Now just have to get tickets to Puerto Rico and then back to Boston (or maybe we will just stay in St. Lucia forever hahah)

Good morning ladies! 78 days until the big day, and only 73 days until we leave!!

 

Good thing I am actually getting things done!!

 

The biggest one is that I ordered a second wedding dress!! It should be here I. Three weeks max! I was really second guessing my first dress as it is mermaid and I just did not want to feel uncomfortable on my big day! I also got my veil.

 

Other things I have done is get paper lanterns for the reception room, paper luminaries and led candles for the tables, tea light candle holders wrapped in twine (bought off kijiji, 75 for $50!), paper straws for the cocktail hour. Last night I ordered the ring bearer pillow, flower girl basket, cake server set, burlap mr mrs sign, wood fan handles(to make fan programs), cake topper and veil weights.Whew!

 

I am on the hunt for wood table numbers. I would like ones that are thick enough to stand on their own and are about 8" tall....apparently this is not easy to find unless I go the etsy route which is too expensive IMO!

 

Waiting for RSVPs still, I made the deadline August 15 and still have about 55 left to receive!

 

Yay! Starting to get so excited!! Hoping to get a little shopping done this week for some summer clothes on sale!!

 

How's everyone else's planning going?

 

Biggest question, how are you going to get everything there? That part scares me!

 

And reminds me that I need to get all of my receipts in order!!

Woah you are on a roll girl!!   I have decided that I am doing some paper lanterns for my wedding day dinner - so now I am on a hunt for the color sizes I want.  I got my outfit for my shower - I am going to give it to my MOH this weekend - my shower is going to be a surprise so I wont know when to wear it so it will be there for sure - I have half of my napkin rings done for my wedding dinner.. I also bought the paper straws for cocktail hour (although im not sure about the colors haha) I got the outfit for my parents vow renewal (they decided to do this since they will be on such an amazing island and I think it is so cute) I got the favors for the welcome dinner for the ladies - and the packaging for them - not sure if there is something else I have done recently - I certainly feel like I have a llllllllllloooooooooooooooooooooot left!

I also don't want to think about packing... I have been buying vacation clothes for a while and I have about two suit cases of just some of it LOL -- it needs to be repacked and obviously edited hhahah

omfg - you just made me count days 67 til we leave and 77 til the wedding *gulp*

Get on it, Girl! It's comming up fast!

Shhhh.... if I pretend like I still have two years Ill be juuuuuuuust fine

lol

I think we have decided to mail the OOT bags to guests a few weeks before we leave along with luggage tags and pre-travel brochures...I think I would rather pay the postage than drag all of that stuff to Mexico and pay the extra baggage fees! What do you all think?

Kimberly, did you ever figure out your centerpieces?

I am sending out stuff a couple of weeks ahead of time and bringing stuff - I think its a good idea

I finally decided on table overlays (and purchased them) for both dinners and came up with a plan (even made some) for napkin rings for the wedding dinner.  Other then that I have bought some stuff but dont really have a plan yet lol

That's weird, I will try to post it again!

Very cute!!!!

Hi - I am interested in the Tank Top!   Also, I really love the teal chargers but I wouldn't need them until my AHR and I need to focus on my wedding right now LOL  If you still have them in a while I will probably take them

@@RaynDrop I keep putting them into my basket but haven't actually ordered any yet!!

 

Was going to go shopping for undergarments today but change of plans as my sis is sick.

 

But yesterday my other sister and I did a shoe hunt and finally found shoes to wear!! Who knew it would be so hard to find a cute wedge?! This is what I choseimage.jpg

Yeah same here --- decisions decisions LOL

I can't see your shoe pic      I do know how it is to find wedges - I looked and looked and looked before I found I pair I liked!!!!

Is anyone else bringing paper lanterns? Where did you get them from? And how many and sizes?

Im thinking about using them part of my decor... I was looking the other night on ebay - there were several listing for them for a dollar  or two a piece.  I just couldn't decide on how many/size I wanted so I didn't buy any yet.

We are getting married 10-10-14 at the Iberostar rose hall suites in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Yay - congrats... hows the planning going?

Hey, Kimberly! How's the planning going? I think we are about done other than figuring out how to get it all there. On vacation this week and plan on packing some of it up when I gt home just to see how many suitcases I need! LOL! Also trying to plan a baby shower for my niece and keep getting distracted with wedding stuff! 

Hi Kim,  Its going. . .   have a lot of little things I need to do ... well want to do LOL   I also have no idea how I am going to get it all there.. I don't really want to figure it out either LOL  

That is great you are ready to get it all packed already - so prepaird!!!    

108 more days til I marry my best friend!! Getting so excited!

 

Feeling like I have most things done now too! Rings, clothing, favours all done! Need to get a bustle put in my dress, and find jewelry and shoes still. I have a few things I want to make and I still need to sort out table decor. What's everyone else doing for their tables? I would love flowers, but with at least ten tables I don't want to pay for it!! I'm thinking tea lights and candles over the burlap and lace table runners I bought.

ekk - 108 days! so exciting and crazy!!

 You just made me feel like I have sooooo many things to do lol

  I am in the midst of trying to nail down table decor.  I need to come up with two different dinner's decor and keep getting distracted with one while trying to think of the other LOL  I am not really doing any flowers either - I have in my head what I want for each event but I can't seem to focus *sigh* lol

Hi - I sent you an email

Welcome to the October Club! Mine is the day before you

We are doing our ARH on November 8th. Super quickly!

 

I wanted it to be close to the date an we are crazy busy at work around the thanksgiving and Christmas holidays so it had to be early November. It's a bit crazy planning both!

 

What's your plan?

I'm torn - part of me just wants to do it and get it over with but we don't come back until Nov 3rd - can't do it the next weekend then it is the holidays - then winter - so I am thinking Spring... I like the idea of that except I can't decide if it is too far apart.   I think I have decided that it just is going to be that way and go with April!  I want people that are going to the DW to be able to attend and it would be more traveling for them so I want to give them some time also.

Hello - how much for the sash?  Thanks

Would I be able to buy just one set?  

That sounds awesome!

Make sure to post a picture once you get it.

Congrats to your fiancé! Where are you moving to? I hate the packing part so good luck to you!

 

I feel like I'm in a good place with planning. I'm making ribbon chair covers and I only have a few left to make. Other than that I think I'm just down to finalizing the small details.

We need to decide if we are going to have a DJ or not.

 

Are you ladies using a DJ?

 

 

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We are moving from MA to ME ... so not far but still moving = blah 

lol

I am not having a DJ there will only be 22 people including us --- and with my crowd I think it will be odd LOL

There is no night club at my resort but there are 2 sister resorts on the island so my plan is to head to one of those after the dinner reception and we can dance the night away there    oh also I am making a play list to be played during dinner.....  I actually need 2 play list atleast 2 hours each... ANY SUGGESTIONS  ARE WELCOMED  haha

Alright October Ladies.....

For those of you doing and ARH --- when are you doing it?

July will be here so quickly!

I have to go out of town for the entire month of August for work. Not good timing for a October wedding!

How's the rest of your planning going?

 

I almost feel at a standstill right now.

I think everything is going well.... but I do feel like I haven't done much wedding related recently and I don't really know what I need to be working on.    I do need to come up with a solid plan for center. . .  I am actually in the middle of moving which came about quickly and unexpectedly .. my FI took a new job in a different state which is very excited - and has become my life right now lol

being gone in August isn't good timing - yuck----    do you feel like you are ahead of your planning ?

4 months!! Getting closer and closer!

I have my first fitting this week!

Ohh so exciting - --- I am still waiting for my dress to come in.  I think I will get it in July!

No we didn't but it was an all inclusive. We decided to go off site because we had 40 people and they were charging me for every chair drink plate etc. Over 20.

Oh okay - I asked because I was curious/confused.   I had been told that Sandals doesn't offer any outside vendors - they don't offer a vendor fee option at all.
