December 2009 Brides!

Thank you all for such sweet words and advice. Hopefully, all will go well, and I should be fully recovered just in time for the wedding. Luckily, I have been able to get most everything done by now, so it should not be too stressful!

Right now we are working on picking up my mother's dress and finishing up our OOT bags this weekend. Did anyone find a good, cheap canvas tote bag? The best we can find is at this site:

Online ordering wholesale canvas tote bags

Thanks again, girls!

Hi I'm late finding this site but getting married Dec 19. I feel like there is sooooo much left to do. Once I past that 100 day mark I started freaking. Is everyone else on track? Is it just me!?!

I ended up getting my bags on clearance at Wal-Mart... shhhhhh... don't tell my snotty guests

Hi Jtswedding! Welcome to the forum ) I think it is just the thought of being married in 100 days that starts to stress us all out! Just make a list of the remaining stuff and cross it off as you go. Most of us will agree that crossing stuff off that list is one of the best feelings

For you December brides, I just received some favors that I ordered off of Ebay. They are Christmas ornament sandollars, with our names, date, and location printed on them. Sooooo cute. You get 10 of them for $20. I'm haveing a small wedding so that is all I needed. The site is BEACH THEME REAL SAND DOLLAR STAR FISH WEDDING FAVORS - eBay (item 250405299415 end time Oct-08-09 06:43:20 PDT)

For any Canadian brides out there, I found FI's pants (finally!) at Le Cheteau, their linen pants were on sale and we got them for $19.99!!!

I also wanted to share my passport invites, got my first RSVP today yay!!!

Hi, Ladies

I was wonder if any one looking for Videographer in Riviera Maya area for the week of December17 to 24. I’m bringing down him with me .His job is fantastic. His price for videoing the wedding day is $1000 and I ask only $300 share of flight cost.

Pm me if you’re interested and I can send you video sample of his work.

So I thought I would check in and see how far you ladies have come in your planning to this point. I have done so much but it seems to be never-ending!

Still need to:

*Get dress fitted

*find my shoes (then I can do the fitting!)

*get FI shoes

*get groomsmens/FI ties

*make programs

*make starfish seating cards and table #'s in frames

*make sand ceremony set

*pick out must have songs for wedding & get them on CD/ipod

*order flowers

*book steel drum band for ceremony (ladies, and suggestions of a good band in the MB area of Jamaica?)

*put together OOT bags (all stuff has been bought except for the mugs, which of course FI was in charge of and has not done)

*ORDER FI WEDDING RING!!! He found one but it was $800 for white gold and nothing special so he chose not to order it....we really need to go looking!

Well let me know what you girls have left to do! I feel so behind! Everyone got in their final payments today and we have 53 people booked and paid for!!! My passport invites went out yesterday and I can't wait for people to get them!!!
