Getting Married in Jamaica

Dear Edith

Me and my fiance want to get married in Jamaica this July. How do I go about setting this up, any email information or phone numbers to call would be greatly appriciated.

Answer

Try calling 888-294-8321 for a basic wedding package at the Wyndham Rose Hall Resort and Country Club in Montego Bay, Jamaica or go to a reliable travel agent and they will help you. Or try the Enchanted Garden 800.486.3247 in Ocho Rios, Jamaica.

We recommend that you send out a friendly personal “Save the Date” card or letter giving travel information, special hotel rates, etc. etc. and stating that a formal invitation will be mailed 4 weeks before the wedding. I hope this helps.

Wedding Announcements for Destination Weddings

Dear Edith

I’m stumped. My 18 yr old daughter is eloping with her 33 yr old fiance. She is seven weeks pregnant and this is his second marriage.

We would like to “announce” their marriage which is taking place in the Cayman Islands in February, and invite everyone to attend a reception for them in our home in March. It will be a very casual afternoon reception with catered hors d’oeuvres and wine. Can I put all this information on one announcement with my phone number for an RSVP? Thank you for your help.

Answer

Your plan sound lovely. You have choices. You can order announcements of the marriage and add a separate card inviting people to the reception in your home and the date including the telephone number. If the announcement is a foldover, be sure to put the card in the fold so people are sure to see it. Or you could simply have an invitation in honor of the marriage of ……………daughter and her husband.

You will see sample invitations in albums at the print stores. I hope this helps.
