1) Incorporate local customs. I don't know of any off the top of my head, but ask a local hotel/restauarant for help
2) Get a wedding planner based in Jamiaca. It will make things go MUCH SMOOTHER for everyone. Especially since you don't know the customs and requirements, having someone to handle the little details would be nice.
3) About the dress--get something free form. Keep looking and when you find it, you'll know it!
4) About the family--where are you all staying? Don't feel obligated to make THEM feel special too. You are already spending a lot of money, and just spending time with them should be enough.

Ask the resort where you are getting married about putting some kind of welcome thing in their rooms...anything from flip flops for the beach or shells to some kind of local thing. Include a note to say "Thank you for coming to our special day...we'll see you soon!" Maybe you could put that in a bottle... :)
Btw...you can flip flop notepads, invites etc; The Knot has those to help you. Ebay is a wonderful thing too...order far in advance If you do a search on ebay on "beach wedding" it will bring up everything from kinds of dresses to favours for you (I put a couple of things you may like below)
For your dress, nothing with a train. And no high heels if it is on a beach. When you go wedding shopping tell them that it is for a small beach wedding and they will steer you in the right direction. A nice light material like chiffon is better than a heavy satin for weather AND for wrinkles.
Oh...ask the hotel if they have a steamer you can use for your dress too.

Now You Can Have The Wedding Of Your Dreams Without Spending A Small Fortune !
Make Your Own Wonderful Wedding Favors And Gifts For Pleasure, Profit, Joy and Happy Memories!
Every blushing bride wants to have a memorable and romantic wedding that will be remembered for years with pleasant memories by all that attend.
The purpose of "Wonderful wedding favors and wedding gifts" is to help accomplish this, even if you or the bride to be is on a tight budget. It is not expensive catering and thousand dollar dresses that create lasting memories.
It's the beauty of the day, the sunshine smile of the bride and the feeling of being special for that one moment in time, no matter if you are a guest or the bride herself. This is what makes weddings special, romantic and memorable.
Many brides spend a lot of money on expensive plastic wedding favors and gifts for the guests that have no sentimental value. Many guests also spend lots of money on new gifts for the bride and groom that really do not hold special meaning at all.
It's rare that you see a true heirloom shared at weddings these days.
In a world full of manufactured material, it's so much easier to just purchase something quick just so you can say you care, instead of actually making an attempt to show how much you actually do care.
"Wonderful Wedding Favors And Wedding Gifts" not only provides crochet patterns for true heirloom gifts, but also provides sweet memories as you crochet lovely sachets for your bridesmaids, or wonderful Victorian gloves for the lucky bride to be.
No matter what your budget, you will find that none of the projects provided in the eBook require more than $20.00 investment, most only require $5.00 for thread, stuffing and a crochet hook.
So even if your budget is tight, you'll find your gift one of the most appreciated at the wedding, because it reflects much more value than money alone and also appears to be quite an expensive gift.
There Are Over 30 Wonderful Patterns Provided In The Manual
16 Elegant Sachet Patterns ~ Filled with lovely scented potpourri, these sachets make wonderfully fragranced gifts or favors that are sure to please for many years.
Shoe Party Favor ~ This elegant shoe party favor is wonderful for holding tulle filled with birdseed or a few pieces of hard candy.

2 Napkin Rings Patterns ~ Keepsake napkin rings that are quick and easy to crochet, that make delightful keepsake gifts for your wedding guests.

5 Vintage Purse Patterns ~ Dainty purses for the bride, bridesmaids and even a wonderful coin purse pattern that's the perfect size for the flower girl.
Dainty Flowers ~ These lovely flower patterns can be used many ways. Decorate the gifts, pews, tables and even ring bearers pillow then let the guests take one home for a keepsake that will keep for many years.
There is something provided for everyone in this manual. Sachets for bridesmaids and guest, Victorian purses, flowers, garter and gloves for brides as well as décor for the wedding table like nut cups and lacy looking napkin rings.
If you run a wedding related business, then these projects are wonderful items to add to your line of wedding gifts as well. If you do not operate a wedding related business, you can still make a nice profit by making these fabulous gifts for new brides to be.
There are many ways you can use these patterns for pleasure, joy, profit, smiles and lasting sweet memories. Be remembered 20 years from now as the guest that gave the bride a Victorian handbag, that is then used in her own daughter's wedding.
Brides may glow with pride as they give their bridesmaids wonderful sachets that will be kept for many years to come, instead of plastic favors that are usually tossed in a drawer, forgotten and eventually lost.
Help make your wedding as memorable as can be. Instead of rushing through trying to get things done, while buying a lot of manufactured junk that will soon be in the trash, take a moment and enjoy some time to yourself with a hot cup of tea while putting your heart and love into wedding gifts and favors that will be loved by all.

you need to contact whatever resort you will be having the ceremony at and i'm sure that they can tell you what they have available. it probably wouldn't hurt to pick up a couple wedding magazines and research on the internet.
