This is really my first time being on the board and I see there is a lot of information on here. I was wonder, I'm trying to figure out if I wanted to have a private reception or just have dinner @ one of the restaurants. I'm planning to have 20-25 people come to my wedding(which I well talk to about that in a few minutes). For me I just think that paying 50-75 dollars for dinner @ a all inclusive resort seems a little crazy. Can I get some advice on this please ladies. My second think is I have sent out the save the date card in August and people are saying that they are coming but I dont see money being put down yet for the rooms. Should I send out some more information telling them to put there money down by this date or something. I dont want people waiting to the last minute to put down on the rooms and make payment and I would like to have a count on who is really coming and who is not. Or should I just send it when I send out the invitation? HELP I'M GETTIN A HEADACHE THINKING ABOUT IT LOL!!!THANX IN ADVANCE LADIES!!!
