Thanks, I will checkout the forum. The tiki torches will be soo nice! When are you getting married?

I didn't have the arch and the view speaks for itself.  Everything little extra costs $$ and we didn't feel it was necessary.  We added the Sand Ceremony which everyone loved.

We had our dinner at the Italian Buffet since we had 32 people.  It has a semi-private alcove area that was perfect.

So pretty, thanks for posting this- I was on the fence but after seeing this, I'm going to save the money and go with no arch.

Okay, so my FI is wear a Tommy Bahama white shirt and the groomsman and doing an orange Tommy shirts & shorts...do I do boutonieres?  I'm not sure b/c they aren't wearing suits...any suggestions?

[motbride]

My daughter opted for a boutoniere for the groom only. The groomsmen and fathers wore shorts and shirts and the groom wore long pants and shirt...no suits for anyone! yay! The single rose buotoniere was heavy and very floppy on a lightweight shirt. If you do opt to go with a boutoniere for any of the suitless men, keep that in mind and choose something light weight !

nmoreau...  great idea about the Welcome Letter and meet & greet happy hour.  We were looking for ways to keep it casual but yet organized. 

 

We were also thinking about doing a group excursion with our group of about 50 people.  Which catamaran did you book?  Can you give me more info about it and a contact?  Also, if anyone has any other ideas for excursions with groups of this size and a few small childeren, it would be great to have another idea!

 

We are also looking at photographers right now.  Has anyone used the resort photographer?

 

Looking forward to our December wedding   Seems too far away!
