Things done:
-ordered bridal gown (ordered at trunk show in April)
-purchased TTD gown
-deposit placed for resort
-deposit placed for photographer
-booked travel/honeymoon
-bridal misc purchased=shoes, flip flops, hair flower, spanx
-purchased FI's suit
-misc OOT bag items=playing cards, personal fans, keycard/tip holder, beach towels
-finished some of DIY projects=program fans, shell bout's for groomsmen, "bling" strands for huppah decor
-purchased pail for flowergirls
-purchased shells for ring bearer
-purchased flip flops for unprepared guest for ceremony/reception
-boarding pass Save-the-Date's sent
-purchased MOH/BM gift totes
-emailed groomsmen to get fitted for linen suits
-engagement session scheduled for next week thursday (EEK! I'm so nervous about this!)

Things to do:
-LOSE 10 POUNDS
-Passport invitations
-DIY floral/floating strands for huppah decor
-purchase our wedding bands
-decide on flowers and table centerpieces
-purchase bridal jewelry=earrings, bracelet
-book welcome/rehearsal dinner
-purchase gifts for MOH/BM/GM
-choose songs and make playlists

My list can go on and on... this is just the tip of the ice berg of things I need to do! I thought I had everything under control!!
I did give my MOH and BM their choice to choose anything they want to wear, I gave them the color swatch, and let them loose. I trust my girls to choose their own styles. But I am a little worried that they have not started to look for their dresses, aqua and coral is a spring/summer color, and with our wedding in january, if they procrastinate, they won't find anything during the winter. GRRRRRR
But, I won't stress myself about that.. I have other things to stress about!
Just to update my list:

things DONE and i can cross off the list:
-Purchased my bridal jewelry
-decided on guest table centerpieces
-lost 4lbs--6 more to go
-purchased our toasting flutes
-Took TTD to a seamstress who's a family friend to get altered.
-My dress finally came in and my first dress fitting is scheduled on 8/29/09!!

And to update my BM and MOH dress'
I was losing sleep with the whole BM dress subject. So i took it to my own hands to do the searching for them. SO, This weekend, I found the perfect BM dress that has both of our colors-aqua and coral. It was on sale at Macy's so i purchased all 5 of them. So, this week, i have to drop them off to the girls to for them to try on. Hopefully they fit. But, the good thing is, it's totally alter-able. WHEW!!!

OMG I'm so glad I'm not the only one having troubles finding a sitter for my four legged baby's. All the usual sitters will be with me in Punta Cana.... I'm really suck with ideas. I also have a pit bull, and there are a lot of companies that have a policy not to deal with them, which is really dumb, but that's another story... poor babies...

It's actually a wee bit stressful trying to find someone to look after the four-legged children. I'm in the same boat as the other girls - all my sitters are coming with us! And you can't just leave them with just anyone Lisa :P

*whew* So.. I finally found a sitter for my little baby. A good family friend asked me out of the blue who was going to watch my baby. I told her I didn't have one yet, and she totally volunteered!!! I more thing to knock off my list.

Any luck yet Imppearl and Joss?

    • 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!
