All wedding stuff has been put on hold as I'm doing a cross-country medical residency interview tour. 7 interviews, 7 cities in 18 days makes for one crazy lady! I don't know what I was thinking when I decided to plan a wedding during my last year of medical school. Sorry for ranting.. just feeling a bit overwhelmed!

Wow girl! You are busy! I hope you got out of the airport. I can't believe you already have 85 people booked - that's amazing. We only have 15 people booked at this point.

Hang in there. I think the advantage of doing a destination wedding is that you can make as stressful or stress-less as you want. I'm sure everything is going to come together beautifully in the end.

Goldstein- I really like the idea of April 15th for reply backs for the invitations! I am deifinitely going to do that.

How’s everyone’s planning coming along – we’re 4 months away! I feel so behind on the planning…need some reassurance that I’m on track. The site is booked, travel arrangements booked, have a dress, booked a photographer, have bought 2 out 10 things for the OOT bags, almost done with BM gift bags, BM dresses are picked (not bought) out, bought ceremony fans. Feel like there’s so much more to do!

Your one ahead of me. I don't have fans. I feel very behind also.

 

GOODLUCK

Hey ladies, I am starting to feel like it is really getting close to game time and I need to be a little more organized about what I have to get done. I am getting married June 12th at Las Caletas in Puerto Vallarta. So far I have sent out STD, hotel booked, site booked, bought my dress (love it!!). Have contacted some photographers but not made a decision yet. I just have to print the invites but they are about ready to go and the ribbon etc have already been done for them. Was thinking of sending them at the end of this month as poeple have been slow to book ~ I think a lot of people were waiting until after the holidays and have now gotten lazy. We have about 18 booked so far. Like the idea about the April 15th RSVP date. Here is the stuff I still need to do:[*]Get flower girl dresses[*]get grooms pants (already picked out shirt)[*]my shoes (any ideas where to find cute sandals?)[*]decide on and book welcome dinner/cocktail hour[*]MOH gift[*]book photographer[*]finish OOT bags (about 1/2 done but hard when I don't have final #'s)

Welcome letters etc.

 

AAHH! I better get moving here.

Who are you using for your photographer? Still have made a final decision on that yet. Finally registered today (Wasn't going to jut MOG really wanted us to...thought I better start out on a good foot and do it.). I need to start making a list so I can get a bit more organized with all of this.
