I'm a newbie in Toronto! Just engaged July 9th, booked St James Antigua for January 2012! I'm planning myself too - I've already got quite a bit done - got the group rate with the travel agent and sent out to all guests - have 14 guests booked! Have also drafted the passport invites - info from this site was really helpful with that and I used the Aylee template. Also did reply postcards from vistaprint.ca just waiting for them to come in the mail! May seem kind of weird to do the email and then send out invites and maybe it is but I just had to get the process started so I wasn't in such a panic! Still sending out the invites to those who have booked or who haven't yet. Right now working on finding envelopes for the invite packages. I'm a Canadian Girl marrying a Canadian/Punjabi Sikh boy so any advice from anyone who knows ANYTHING about Sikh wedding traditions I can incorporate into my ceremony/reception would be very appreciated :) I know that's a long shot!

 

If anyone wants my more detailed templates to work with please message me - I had to do quite a bit of work to get them formatted and the marketing coordinator from my office really helped too!

Googling doesn't seem to give me the info I need - we don't want a religious ceremony and most info is based around the actual religious ceremony. Looking more for the cute little traditions from someone who knows! Thanks so much for the envelope info!

ETSY BEWARE!!! DO NOT ORDER THIS FROM JESSICA RAE JEWELLERY!  I emailed her before ordering and she said there would be no problem I should receive this by the week of Aug 21st. I paid via paypal on July 6th, have sent 3 emails, no response...and now, I don't have something blue :( I leave on sunday, and am way too busy to find something.

OH NO!!!!!! Tracey I feel so bad for you!!!!!

 

My suggestion would be to pop over to Victoria secret and pick up a pair of their bridal blue underwear.  They are pretty and lace and come in BLUE!!!!!! I picked up a pair as a gift for a girlfriend before her wedding and they worked beautifully as her something blue.  This doesn't help the fact that you wont have this amazing piece but rather than focus on how awful some people can be I was hoping to help you out!!!!

 

Thinking about you, Can't believe your big day is so soon!

Aww Tracy that sucks! It would have been super cute too. I like the blue undies idea though. I have no shortage of blue as turquoise is my signature colour. If only you were in Ottawa I would totally have you covered. I'm so excited for you that you leave this weekend! If this is the biggest thing to go wrong then you will have a FANTASTIC wedding.

Awwww....thanks so much Nikadawn. This looks like the biggest crisis, so I'm not really that worried. I did think of a back up plan though, someone gave me a little blue shoe charm when my youngest son was born with his name and birthday on it. I'm soo exhausted and have very low tolerance for people right now, so this was the tipping point for sure! Meh, whatever isn't done, isn't done. Who cares at this point, right? That was the whole point of going away!!! I may go over to Victorias secret on my lunch though, just to see. wink.gif

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
