This is an awesome list! Thank you so much!

Are you guys bringing your engagement rings? People have been telling me to leave mine at home and just bring the band.

No it was just the only one available lol

I love your labels for the fans! I'm having very similar fans but the labels never occurred to me Thanks!

2ppl 3 nights in Playa del Carmen about $1400 (includes transportation and food/drinks, 5 star) Flights about $500-$650 per person.

I don't think so. I know you can have that friend get certified online in about 30 minutes. But I'm not sure how that would hold up out of country. Anyone know the ins and outs of marriage laws?

Thanks Allie! Does anyone know if you give them a plan, will they set up the tables to match the map for the reception?

@@rednlovinit21 Who is the seller on Etsy? I love these bags! and if you don't mind me asking how much are they?

Do you guys suggest making the appointment for the hair and makeup ahead of time or after I arrive at the resort? I'm arriving on Monday and the wedding is on Saturday.

Try Wix

I'm checking Michaels and Hobby Lobby

Slowly but surely we will get there.

Haha I did the same. If only I would have started posting at the time I would have been done long ago.

Yoga all the way. What will your gift to the maid of honor/best man be?

Great timeline! I might end up stealing it

So I'm rather behind in my planning. I hadn't realized how far behind I was until I was finally able to go dress shopping last week. The wedding is 4/19/2014, so less than three months. Turns out it usually takes 6-8 months to get a dress. Surprise! The dress shops I went to we're giving me limited selections to try on as they wouldn't be able to order them in time and the selection wasn't all that great. I had a general idea of what I was looking for and they didn't have it. Everyone says you know the dress when you put it on but I wasn't getting that. I had originally fallen in love with the Justin Alexander 9552 http://www.justinalexanderbridal.com/signature_wedding_dresses/9552 But the only shop nearby that carried it gave me the runaround for months. So I gave up Let's just say I began to get slightly worried. So I went to a shop that I had been trying to get to for about 6 months and the first dress I saw, I fell in love! It was everything I wanted! Turned out they just received the dress as it is the 2014 line and they can have it in by the beginning of March! Hooorrraaayyy!We were meant to be I don't have any pics on here of me trying it on but here's from the website. http://www.allurebridals.com/products/2701

Thanks Lydia1120 this is a huge help to find out what were the big hits and what wasn't. I'm starting to get my bags together and was hoping you could help a little. For your travel mugs, were they the insulated type with the straw? Where did you get them? Where did you get the luggage tags and room key/tip holders? Did you ask everyone what their flip flop sizes were? Did you make the passport book? Prolly a very silly question but what is R.Y.F.K.M? Thanks!

We're going the ipod route as well even though we might be having a larger group we couldn't justify a couple grand for a dj. I think we'll be using spotify as well and download the songs to our ipod or we will be using the mixer app someone else talked about that will group songs according to beat and then fade from one to the next.

I saw someone else who used yellow for their beach wedding and it looked amazing! It's going to look so good with the tan

@@AllieH I know I marked your post somewhere but I'm not sure where it is now with the new site. Would you be able to tell how many string lights you used and what they charged you to set up? I would really like to have lights around the posts as well as lanterns but I wasn't sure if it is worth the savings to bring my own and how many to bring. I have a few other questions if anyone could help out. Do you also know the table sizes (at Tucanes) and are they always round or are there some rectangles as well? If I make a seating plan will they place the tables accordingly? I'm sure I have more but I can't think of them now. Thanks! Oh I forgot to ask, does anyone know of a dairy free or Jewish bakery in the area where I could pick up a small cake just for me and my fiance. Also, since it is an allergy, do you think the resort will charge us an outside vendor fee for such a small item?

If you don't have time to make the 150 posts but still want access, I think you can purchase the rights for somewhere around $30.
