January 2010 brides!!


~*Lisa*~

Recommended Posts

I can't believe I just found this site now! I'm a January bride too. Getting married at the ROR on January 17th.

 

Here's the things I've done:

 

- ordered wedding dress

- ordered bridesmaid dresses

- designed, printed and mailed invitations (that was A LOT of work but so worth it!)

- confirmed with resort and chose wedding location

- designed pre-wedding brochures (I just finished these today). I plan on mailing them in November

-Found someone to watch the pup while we leave for a week

 

To Do's

- find a photographer

- create "welcome to jamaica" booklets and possibly OOT bags..still on the fence about this one too. Seems like a lot of work and might cost a lot of money too!

- get wedding bands

- get groom and groomsmen clothes

- get stuff for decoration

- design thank you cards from engagement party (just had this last weekend) thinking of doing postcard pictures but have NO idea where i can do this...

 

 

This stuff is STRESSING ME OUT!

Sorry I haven't kept up much lately. Work has been crazy busy (14-17 hour days for me!).

Glad to see everyone is checking things off their lists. I think I'm pretty ahead of the game so far. Just received my invites today, so am hoping to get them out next week! Plus I'm officially married (did our legal ceremony earlier this month)!

 

Still need to do:

 

programs

wedding bands

shoes, jewelry

send invites

music list

wedding party/parents gifts

clothes for the honeymoon/trip

book out hotel for honeymoon

purchase favors

 

Ok, now it seems like I'm not so far ahead!

 

Thanks for keeping me motiviated ladies! I was JUST telling my husband that I had my first wedding stress dream too. Yikes! Time IS flying by.

Hope everyone is coming along with their plans too, and getting sleep.

BTW, Lisa, I love your pumpkin!! So cool!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Glad I'm not the only one! We finally have a day off together on Tuesday so we plan on going to finally get our rings. Plus I now need to have my engagement ring resized since I've finally lost some weight.

I can't believe November is already here....where did October go?!! Eeek!!

Yikes, forgot about the re-sizing thing for rings...my FI lucked out and got the perfect size for the engagement ring so I guess we assumed the same thing would happen once we chose our rings...! DOH! GOtta get on that.

 

Is anyone else getting married at the ROR? From what the wedding planner has told me via email, it seems to me that most of these decisions occur during the meeting we have with her when we arrive. Am I wrong?

    • 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!
