So ladies I did my boudoir shoot on Saturday and received my photos yesterday! I am so happy I did it. They came out great and are very tasteful. Can't wait to make them into his "little black book" to be delivered to him the morning of the wedding. If your hesitant about doing them, I say go for it. It was a huge confidence booster for myself too! My one recommendation is to get your make up professionally done. I got mine done at MAC, you have to buy $50 worth of make up for them to do it and I needed to stock up on some make up anyways so it worked perfect. I had them focus on my eyes and they came out wonderful in the pictures!

 

We also moved into our new house over the weekend and we are trying to get settled in. This past few days has been non-stop! My goodness. But now it's time to focus on wedding stuff again! Sunday was our 2 month mark! According to my countdown on my phone, we are 59 days, 6 hours and 13 minutes away.... But who's counting?! LOL ;-)

I have a super simple ceremony program template that I created in .ppt I can e-mail you.  We are keeping ours simple.  I did a few versions and Fi and I picked the one we liked the most.

 

You have done a lot!!!

 

  • My dress should arrive by April 20, then I will sort alterations.  Hoping not much since it is a simple knee length dress
  • Girls dresses ordered and I should have mid-May
  • Fi's outfit is complete, we bought his shirt yesterday.
  • Most of the OOT contents have been purchased - I need one more item then I can start putting together
  • Templates for the OOT bags completed - once I know which size bag I am using, I can print, score and cut.
  • Tags for the maracas have been printed.  Should receive the maracas on the 18th.  Then I can punch a hole and then tie the tag with ribbon.
  • Luggage tags printed for the bags - we are not doing tote bags for the OOTs.  Just regular fuchsia and orange gift bags.  I should receive the luggage tags and loops next week so I can laminate.
  • Music sorted for the prelude and ceremony.
  • Mugs have been ordered and the templates created.  All I have to do is make sure they fit the mug, print and then insert.
  • We have our wedding bands and I love them
  • We are going this morning to get our marriage license since we are doing the legal ceremony the weekend before the PDC wedding

 

I still have lots to do.  My list for this week entails:

  • Finishing welcome letters and getting printed from VP
  • One pager for the OOT bags of spanish phrases
  • Timeline of events (both for the OOT bags for all guests as well as detailed ones for the WC, my girls the day of, etc)
  • Finalizing the welcome dinner details
  • Updating our website and getting headcount for welcome dinner
  • I know there is more, that is off the top of my head and only on one cup of coffee

-I have had my 2nd dress alteration and will pick it up in a couple weeks

-Fiance's suit is purchased, but not altered (khaki linen suit)

-All OOT bag items (survival kits, insulated mugs, decks of cards, door hangers, gum) have been purchased except snacks (I don't want them to get stale)

-All centerpiece items and chair sashes have been purchased. i am renting glass vases from the resort and bringing aqua stones, fake orchids, floating candles to put inside. The vases will sit on brown "fishing net" scattered with seashells that I am also bringing.

-All guests are booked/rooms are paid

-Wedding bands have been purchased and picked up

-Bridesmaid/Groomsmen outfits purchased (coral sundresses and aqua linen shirts with khakis)

-Bridesmaid/Groomsmen gifts purchased (embroidered beach towels and beach bags, engraved buck knives)

-Parent Gifts purchased (picture frames from etsy)

-Guest book purchased (coffee table book of Jamaica)

-Hostess gifts purchased (custom embroidered wine bags from etsy)

-Customs thank you notes purchased

-Marriage license info sent to resort

-STD and Invitations mailed

 

 

One of the things left on my list is music. Are you girls using a DJ? If so, are you giving them a list of every song to play or just telling them what kind of music you like and letting them choose songs? Also, I still haven't made programs. Do any of you girls have  template for a simple program? I am not trying to put a bunch of notes and information on them, I just want a list of the wedding party/minister/music.

 

Thanks!!

Madison

    • 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!
