The next thing on my list is invitations. We should be getting the design back sometime in January, and I'm hoping to send them out in Feb/March. I want the responses back by April so that I have enough time to plan with more accurate guest numbers (although they're never really 100% accurate until everyone is on the plane I guess!). In the spring I'm going to start hunting for bridesmaid dresses, wedding shoes, and suits for the guys. And booking the honeymoon. A lot of the other stuff has to wait until later.

October is going to come SO fast!

Heather, everytime i see a post from you and see that number of people booked I get nervous! I have the same timeframe as you and I have yet to send out STDs... doing that in January! You have soo much done already!

Don't worry about it! It's just because I've already been engaged for awhile - we wanted to give our guests tons of notice so we sent the STD's really early and chose a later wedding date. You still have SO much time!

I'm almost embarrased to post on here, b/c you guys are so ahead of the game! We just decided our wedding would be in Oct/Nov 09, most likely at Dreams Tulum. They still have a good number of dates available... I just feel like maybe I don't have enough time after looking at this thread and seeing that you guys will have been planning for a year when your weddings come around! Any other DT brides in Oct/Nov? I wonder if I'm starting out too late?!

[*Heather*]

No you're not starting too late, you have TONS of time! There really isn't that much to do. You'll be totally fine

Yay! I'm so glad I found this thread- I kept seeing november 2009 and other months, and October 2009 didn't come up in a search! I'm another 10/24/09 bride...not too far behind in planning, but growing impatient- I just want everyone to book right now, lol!

That's funny that you say that because we just did the same thing.. only just decided to have our wedding.. I have got as far as contacting the wedding coordinator at Dreams Cancun, and I am getting a contract written up this week. If you are trying to decide I would highly recommend looking on the posts on this forum. I had been doing that the past 2 weeks and that is how I came to decide on Dreams Cancun. We are getting married on October 1, 2009 since it is our 10 year anniversary.. so we are really rushing things too.. but for a destination wedding there is so much less to do.. you shouldn't really fret..
