I'm so overwhelmed by all the threads I've read here. You all have some amazing and wonderful stories and ideas and I feel so disconnected from you all

 

The wedding I have in mind is low key, fun, non traditional and laid back... Is that bad? Bohemian wedding is what I want.. Again very laid back, and since I'm a Buddhist I'm not really interested in any of the religious traditional stuff.

 

We were thinking about inviting 20 people tops and that's even pushing it..

 

Things like centre pieces and decorations scare me as we just really want to get married with our feet in the sand at sunset and then party the night away with our loved ones.

 

I do plan on going all out on the invitations but aside from my dress/ring and his "suit" we didn't really want a super huge deal to stress about... Hence the destination wedding.

 

We are literally at the planning stages. Just picking out the destination. And my fiancé has given me carte Blanche and it's all pretty much up to me. Eeek!!

 

I was under the impression that these resorts just took care of everything and you pay a wedding package and your guests whom are staying at resort as well just join us?!!

 

Pleeeease set things straight for me ladies..

Point me in the right direction

Congrats....as @@malyna said smaller resorts may be the way to go.  If doing Jamaica I would look at Negil...which is very laid back and more rustic. 

Most resorts have set packages that may work for you and if you need something else added they can accommodate. Trying not to stress is easier said than done but try not to.  As long as you have a clear vision of what you are looking for you will have the special experience you are looking for! 

Happy planning!

Congratulations....absolutely beautiful!

Very nice!

Great article

Great article!

thanks!

Good article.

I noticed the same...20 guests included, cost for each additional.  It is costly when it is an all-inclusive and the guests are already staying there.  I guess everyone has to make some money.

Paying for our own as well....this is my second wedding and my FI's first.  We are a bit older and he suggested the DW.  I am so happy he did.

Montego Bay October 2015....haven't decided on venue yet. 

My FI proposed July 28, 2013 at Moon Palace resort in Cancun.  We were there to attend a friends wedding...so it was an extra special trip. 

I actually decided to do a DW because I knew it would limit the # of people attending.  My FI and I both have big families and to have a wedding at home, we would have had over 200 guests.  We just can't afford a wedding that big.  So DW it is!

Great ideas!

Great idea!

I went on site visit to Iberostar in Jamaica Oct. 2013.  Loved the resort.  But I like the grand for reception and the suites for ceremony....but you have to have everything at one hotel or the other. 

Good ideas!

I am also concerned about resorts booking up and not have rooms for guests.  I have been watching Royalton White Sands and they are booked for dates in 2015.  I am going on a site visit there in June and that will be my first question is the availability of rooms.

Very true!!! It brought balance to all the issues surrounding planning a wedding and why we are getting married!

Thinking of having a reggae band during reception....not sure of cost yet but we shall see.
