Here is what I have thought of
1. Pick a location & hotel. Use websites like funjet.com and applevacations.com as a tool to estimate prices.
Search the forum for reviews & information about hotels you are interested in. If there is no information about your hotel, try tripadvisor.com. Search for the hotel & “wedding†to find reviews about weddings there.
2. Find a travel agent. Decide if you want to do a room block or have guests book their rooms through your TA.
3. Look into the laws for making your wedding legal.
4. Make a website to announce all your travel plans. There are many posts about making a website in this forum.

Once location is picked start talking, get those Save the Dates out!
Use the wedding reviews on this site to help you pick vendors. Remember you can always ask more questions, if the information you need is not in the reviews.
Do your best to enjoy the process, most of us have practically lost our minds at times.
If you do it your way, it will turn out perfect. Remember this is for two people not for everyone else that thinks they have a say. Tell them to go plan their own weddings.

I'm going to search through the forum & add links to the useful posts about each topic. Sort of a onestop shop for getting started. Just trying to help with that anxiety when you first get going.

Wow thanks so much for all the useful tips - I myself am just getting started. I am finding it VERY HARD to choose a resort. There are so many to choose from. I went to the Cancun area last winter and stayed at the Omni Cancun. We enjoyed it very much. I think I might just pick that as I am familiar with the resort ....

Awesome idea! I just got engaged so while we have a while to go , we appear to be going in this order for the first steps of planning:
1) Create a guest list as this could sway what venue.
2) Figure out a budget! I started browsing around for locations , decorations , food.. which has been fun! But realized we needed a budget so I don't start counting or hoping for things way out of my budget.
3) Pick a wedding date.
4) Pick location and wedding coordinator( if getting one) .

I would make #1 or 2 theme/color scheme. So guest list then color scheme or vise versa. You want a venue that will fit you vision and themeAwesome idea! I just got engaged so while we have a while to go , we appear to be going in this order for the first steps of planning:
