Now that I think back, our booking deadline was exactly a year before the wedding :). But we booked the hotel a year and 3 months away, guests had 90 days to make their deposits

Hi @@Everly! Congrats on getting the location and date settled, that's always a big step we booked our photographer over a year in advance; we booked him in October 2014 when our wedding isn't until

Once you have secured and deposited the hotel you are committed. then you can begin to "build" the event and  selecting and securing the vendors is a big part of that.  As mentioned by Wafflesmom, it

Officially and booked, we're at 41 adults and 3 kids. We're still waiting on 13 more. The boys still haven't booked anything, whether on their own or with our group. We talked with Juan this weekend and he said a lot of them are waiting to get jobs after graduating in May so if they find jobs they'll come, which is understandable. I'm hoping for the best, given that some of them are graduating from oil and gas engineering :(, not a good year for them sadly. 

 

Other guests said that they'll be booking on their own because they have credit card points or they're trying to get pregnant. We'll be following up with everyone in June to finalize numbers :)

44 is a great and manageable number. Can't wait to hear the final one :)

 

Hopefully they can find work, it's definately an uncertain time.

 

We are going to look at homes maybe in a month or two as I hear it may soon become a buyers market.

I'm super happy with our number right now but I would really like at least some of the fiance's friends come.

 

That's great! Yeah usually the summer is a bit more of a buyers market, which is good in terms of interest rates because the banks drop them to get more clients :) so you always win some and you lose some I guess. We need to change our mortgage from a builders mortgage to a buyers one this spring/summer once we get a possession date so I'm hoping that will work to our advantage :).

 

Any ideas where you're going to look?

I heard too because of the economy things may change for the buyers edge. But I have no idea as I don't follow this stuff.

 

Good luck with getting your possession date.

 

North side like you solely for our work. Shawn works all over Calgary but his new office is by Calaway. I have seen some decent prices in Evanston but I really don't want a $2000/m mortgage :( Maybe country hills area or hidden valley if we decide to go 'used'.

Yeah I have no clue about all this stuff either. I basically go by what the mortgage lady told us haha. 

 

We were on the same boat. I want to go back to school so we need to afford this on one income for a few years. You can always check out where we bought. They just released the new phase and you might like the prices :). So far we're happy with our experience. 

 

I live in Conventry right now. I like it here :). I love that it's so close to Deerfoot and Stoney!

Yes I'm right off deerfoot and agree :)

I think you bought a townhome right? I'd consider a duplex but with 2 nine year olds we already don't have space in our current townhome. They take so much space lol

Yes we did :). I know, especially as they turn into teenagers they'll need even more space :)

 

I remember that trico homes was opening up some duplexes in Evanston but I never found out how much they were because we had just bought our house.

Ohhh I'll look into it. Evanston also had some starter homes (pre owned) around $400k but that mortgage payment scares me. I have what would be considered a smoking monthly payment right now but in reality I have to bite the bullet if I want to own again!!! Lol

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      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!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      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!
