I'm curious about this as well...I have heard different things.

So, I'm getting things together as much as I can...
I think I found my shoes, what do you think?
Nice a beachy :) today I'm going to try and figure out the cost of the reception that we are having... I have the food options and such, now I have to talk to my MIL and see what she thinks. I also need to get the final price on a bunch of stuff. Thankfully all I'm having to focus on is the little things. I picked out the center pieces I want to do as well...
It's going to be a very small reception only 20-25 people so I think those are perfect.
Now for flowers!!! I my aunt is allergic to lilies not Cala for some reason, but I was thinking of doing something like this...
I love the adding of the star fish. It ties it all together. I was thinking about maybe adding starfish but have yet to decide.
And on to what I want the fiancé to look like... I don't want him to wear a jacket. It's way too hot. But I do like the look of a vest.
And lastly HAIR!! I want it to be down, but pulled away from my face so I'm not pushing it out of the way all the time.
And this is as far as I've gotten. Lotta work lol.
Any who, happy planning!!! 5.5 months to go!

We did customized shot glasses (we had a wedding shot, not champagne toast). but we also did OOT or "thanks for sailing" bags. Which were a bunch of little things in a soft cooler.
These coolers were a HUGE hit because everyone who go the drink package were able to get unopened beers and take them on HMC and grand turk. Saved a ton of money over buying beers at margaritaville!
Which coolers did you use??

YES! People who say destination weddings are easier and cheaper....uhhh I'd like to talk to them because it is NOT the case. You can make them cheaper of course but there is A LOT that goes into it! hahaha 6 months today!
Lol you are completely right!!! It is not easy at all! I'm so happy you found the option that works best for you. You're getting married the day before me :) when are you sending out your invitations? I was thinking January since everyone already knows about it. I'm so lost when it comes to some things. How many people do you have actually cruising with you since your wedding is now on the beach before? We have 10 including me and hubby on the cruise everyone is pretty much flying to St Thomas.

Hello!! I still have yet to pay off the remainder of my dress. I really need to take the time to do that.. It's just a little bit away..soon :)
I have been trying to figure out a lunch/reception after the ceremony. We have quite a few family members flying just for the day and they are gonna wanna eat. So I'm trying to figure out a budget friendly way for 20-25 of us to have a nice lunch while in St. Thomas.
Other than that...I've been looking at wedding cakes to get ideas..looking at how the setups are for the ceremony.. And that's about it!!
189 days!! Just about 7 months to go!

How exciting! When's your wedding?
Not until April. Where I got the dress told me it could take upwards of 6 months before I can get the dress. It honestly only took 4. They called for me to schedule a try on...I can see that I'm going to probably need a few fittings because I'm not where I want to be weight wise. I ordered my size though so if I lose weight, it can just be taken in. 7 more months until the wedding!!

I'm happy you're feeling a little better about the situation. You will have an amazing wedding and everyone will enjoy themselves.
The 6k rooms(9201) are so rare as there are only 2 on the ship, if you could get it, I would. balconies are a dime a dozen ;)
I'm glad I don't have my dress yet, I would be trying it on literally everyday hahah. It is ordered though, should be here in November. I also have to order my invitations. I didn't put anything about the cruise on the save the date because I figure a majority of the people are going to fly there if they are going. I never did the Facebook group. I just thought it might be too tacky for some reason even though it would help.
All my deposits are down, including finally putting the money down for the photography. Now all I do is wait. I'm not booking the plane ticket anytime soon. I just want to start getting some details figured out.

JH just asked about the fun times in his quick fire questions on Facebook.
Wether to do away with them and let them be downloaded on a device or keep printing the paper ones..

Yes they did. On lido. I mean it is nice and u guess an "upgrade" in terms of price but I wouldn't have taken that switch if asked. I told myself I would only trade up to an aft balcony. ..guess I don't need to worry about that!
Well maybe we will get the upgrade call in a few months time for a good price aft :) we can at least hope right??

Hey now, not all that were on the valor are happy. Now I don't get my beautiful 6k. I'd switch to that room if I were you!
In another thread, someone called me crazy because I was upset about my room not being the same. I had a 6k as well and let me tell you I was really upset when I found out. Did they end up giving you a balcony?

By the looks of it I saved about $250 for the "upgrade" from my 6k to an 8d. :(
Me too...for $250 I would have kept my room, (if I could have)

I am quite upset about the swap. I booked a 6k cabin on the Valor more than a year in advance, and the Liberty has no 6k cabin. I suspect Carnival may "upgrade" me to a balcony, but I specifically booked a 6k for its size and unique view. Good thing I hasn't booked air or hotel to San Juan so if I cancel there will be no financial penalties.
I had a 6k room as well on the valor, they moved me to a balcony. I hope the same happens to you.

I'm sorry I took what you said the wrong way. I'm sorry you're having to go through what you are. If you get a chance to get a different room, ask if 9201 is available. It's beautiful ocean view with floor to ceiling windows.

Listen, it is my wedding as it is yours. I understand your frustration because like myself, we have been dreaming about this day for quite some time. I'm sorry you're upset about being switched. I am upset about other things. No need to be mean to each other.

They switched mine as well, now I'm on the liberty I think. I'm not happy because I have a great room that I know I won't get on this ship. And they won't offer me an upgrade or anything. I have to call back next week to find out where I am.

I know I need to break down and make a list but with all the details it is super overwhelming. (sand ceremony, flowers, jewelery, shoes, music, reception details) the list goes on and on..... wooftah.
I found a spreadsheet on here that someone has made a long time ago.. If you're interested, I can find it for you :)

Yeah, I decided on Lime Tree Beach. I wanted to get married on the beach but the idea of talk the sand and people watching and no privacy threw me off. And then I saw Lime Tree that it's private and the ceremony will be in a grassy area with the actual beach steps away. I'm excited. I will also have Alisha Orin for photography and her husband for videography. I don't think I will have a reception as of right now..still planning of course..

I am also getting married in St Thomas using Island Bliss. Thank you for your review! I am now even more excited than ever. I have until next April to wait, but it was nice to read all the remarks about Janelle and her Husband. Your wedding was beautiful!! Congrats!

I am SO ready to continue my planning. I literally have done a majority of everything. The only thing that still needs to be done is the $900 deposit for the photographer...so much for a damn deposit, but she's great and books up fast.
have you all picked out dresses? I put the deposit down a couple months ago. Its a Mori Lee and very light and flow-ee for the beach. AND super cheap. $650!! I couldn't believe I fell in love with a cheap dress.. More $$ for excursions!! lol
Save the Dates are out. I didn't mention on them about the cruise. They only say that the wedding is going to be in St Thomas. I have a wedding website that I did, but NO ONE has even looked at it. I'm debating on doing a facebook "event" type of thing and or just a little group with all the people we wouldn't mind going on the cruise with us. I'm just not sure yet. Gotta see what the fiancé thinks.
I know some of you have done a facebook page, was it effective. The save the dates are already out and and formal invitations will be out around November. I was thinking of mentioning the cruise there? I'm so confused... :confused::confused::confused:
