April 2009 Brides Check In!


Recommended Posts

Hi Girls!

 

I might be the only one, but I'm totally paranoid that I'm WAY behind on my planning! These are the few done things:

 

Booked location/date

Hotel/air booked & paid for

Bought FI's wedding clothes & shoes

Bought OOT bags and some contents

Wrote vows

Bought/sent STDs

AHR plans coming along easily!

Picked out BMs and their dresses (not ordered yet)

Music for ceremony

Bought Groomsmen shirts

Have photographer booked (a wedding gift from our friend the photog! LOVE IT!)

 

Geez, when I put it down on paper, it really doesn't look like much!

 

How are you guys doing?

You girls are doing great!!

Now, I'm feeling like a slacker. Well I know I am, but I feel we have plenty of time, right?

I have-

booked location and room

purchased dress

created website

sent out passport STD

booked photographer

 

I have a lot to do on my list, but I am trying to keep it as simple as possible. I don't want to start on OOT stuff till I have a better idea of who is coming.

 

Tiffany-you are a neighbor and a date twin! It looks like you could have your wedding next week and it would be complete and beautiful. Way to go!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
