Hey Ladies...I will be attending the BDR Nov 6-9...will any of you ladies be there?? I'm so excited =D ... We are looking to book our wedding of May 2016 so we can give our guests plenty of time to save. I was told by the group reservation person that the rooms at azul senatori get booked full in the month of may even as early as a year ahead of time!! Therefore, once my fiancé and I confirm our wedding date, I'd like to send the actual invitations in January of 2015, so we can have RSVPs and deposits starting in April/May 2015 so everyone can pay little by little but at least guarantee their room.... any thoughts on this??
I also wanted to throw a very casual "wedding countdown bash" late spring/early summer of 2015 so we can have everyone together...celebrate with those that maybe can't make t to the formal wedding, and give updates on how to plan for the trip....casual party either in a backyard and have all of our invited guests attend locally... I didn't have an engagement party and I have been engaged since June 2013...I just wasn't sure how that would look with already sending invitations out for wedding in May 2016 (I figured lets forget save the dates if we already have all the details our guests need to book) ....Any suggestions ladies???
