Mylee84, I am so sorry....... I am also supposed to get married at the Tucan, but not till November. I just sent an email to both wedding coordinators at the tucan and at the lindo/ maya. I will call my TA during lunch today. I will let you know any info I hear that could be pertinent to a wedding so close! Keep your head up, no matter where it is it will be beautiful!!!!!!!!! -- Jen

Hey girls! I go in spurts checking the blog b/c I work full time and am also getting my MBA! So class keeps me occupied a lot!!!!! Anyways-- This week a lot has happened this week wedding wise! 1.) I called our TA about renegotiating hotel rates since everything has gone down a bunch-- and he was able to do it, so whoever has booked in full will get money back! YEAH!!! I would suggest looking on apple or something and see if its comparable to what you blocked for rooms if you are going through a TA... just a thought since we were able to save so much money! 2.) Our wedding coordinator at my resort has switched starting May 1-- I freaked out for about 24 hours, but at least its not a month before... 3.) I am getting our invitations together and will order this weekend... 4.) When is everyone planning on doing showers / bach parties.. my friends have already started to ask and we are thinking the weekend before Labor Day (1.) Still warm in Chicago where I am going to have it and 2) FI wants to go to Vegas and I guess its opening weekend for Football or something -- but just wanted to see if that was too early to have it? Our wedding is the 14th of Nov. Talk to you all soon!!-- Jen -

Things I need to do soon: -- order invitations -- start figuring out all the LEGAL stuff.... does anyone have advice for this? -- decide on OOT bags.... any advice for sending out invitations...

Has anyone already got this info? Many thanks in advance. Hi Andrea, I am also getting married at the Tucan... November 14, 2009! Mayra has been great so far with answering my emails! She said about 2-3 months out she will contact us about flowers etc... Let me know if you have any questions regarding the Tucan! Have you been there? We went in December to visit and decide on the resort. Just send me a private message if you have any questions! -- Jen
