Beautiful photos! Looks like everyone had a great time!

Do you remember the photographer's name? Some of your poses look very similar to our photos. Our photographer's name was Emmanuel.

Ok , this is my third time trying to post so i will have to this in pieces.

 

Everything was amazing.......

 

Beyond our wildest Dreams....

 

I am going to post a slideshow i did because everytime i try to write my review it want let me post.

So if you have any questions about our wedding cruise journey please post and will respond.

 

Here is the link....Enjoy.....

Loved your OOT and invites!! Where did you get your canvas bags from?!

Thanks! I got the canvas bags from vistaprint.com. If you sign up for their promotional emails, they will send you coupons. I can't remember exactly how much, but I think I paid around $7 for each bag and I ordered around 25; they get cheaper, the more you buy.

They don't come with a hole in them but I have heard (and seen) the Guests Services Desk, on RCI, will punch a hole in the card. I would think the other cruise lines would as well

I know if you visit the Casino on Carnival, they will punch a hole in it for you to attach to this spiral cord thingy (don't know what it's called) that clips to you so you don't forget your card in the slot machine. You could definitely tell who were frequent visitors to the Casino.

Thank you!!!! This is my first cruise...do the room keys (I assume they are swipe cards)...have holes in them so lanyards clip right to them? Or do I have to order clear lanyard holders to hold the swipe keys???

 

May sound like a silly question....but I have no idea! ha ha I dont want to order something that doesnt hold the swipe card correctly.

 

:)

No, the room cards don't have a hole in them. I bought clear plastic resealable ID holders for the room cards (can get at office depot, staples, or walmart) and attached them to the lanyards. No way for you to swipe the card while it's in the pouch though. Here is a pic... I printed the insert you see in the ID holder at home (I went a little DIY crazy).

ShortnSweet - Those look great! Out of curiosity, did you make each person their own bag or have 1 bag per stateroom? I was thinking about doing just 1 per stateroom but including 2 of everything in it. I noticed your bags contained highlighters. Maybe its a weird question but I have seen numerous people include these in their OOT bags and I cant for the life of me think what the purpose would be.

 

Sdanielle - Thats so funny. Its nice to see more local brides doing something different. I just would have never been happy if we decided to get married here and have a cookie cutter wedding. BORING! Out of curiosity, what cruise line are you using? We considered St. Thomas but couldn't find a cruise that ported there for more than a day. We decided to go with Bermuda because we would be able to be there for 3 days and get to really enjoy and experience the island. Good luck with everything. I'm sure St. Thomas will be incredible.

Thanks. I did one bag per couple (doubled some of the items in the bag) and one bag for each single person. For example, my parents got one bag and my two friends that shared a room each got their own bag. The highlighters were so they could highlight different activities that they were interested in doing on the ship's daily itinerary. One of my friends used hers religiously.

You may want to check out the Best Destination Wedding forum http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/. This is where I got ideas for contents for my Welcome Bags (for the cruisers). The things that were most used were the insulated mugs, the canvas bag itself, waterproof pouch to use on the beach, retractable lanyard/id holder for room card, concentrated room spray, and dramamine.

Pics of my welcome bag & contents…

There are also tons of ideas for passport invites on the best destination wedding forum. I considered doing the passport invites, but decided to go with the Pocketfold Invitations instead. Below are pics of my invites. I ordered the supplies from Cards and Pockets and printed/assembled the invites at home.
