Yay!

What have you done so far? Our resort is booked.

We sent out our STD, in August. And just bought my dress today!!!

[KatyKo]

I am a June 09 bride too

 

I have my trip and ceremony booked.

I have sent out my STDs...and already have 14 guests booked.

I have purchased my wedding dress and BMs dresses.

I have most of the gifts for my BMs (I am a little excited! haha).

I'm working on booking my photographer and a site for my AHR.

and...I think that is about all so far...

 

I am trying to wait to do stuff later, but I am just so excited

 

I hope everyone's planning is going well

Yay ~ I've been waiting for a June 09 Brides Thread

 

For me it's all about June 26, 2009, Akumal Bay, Riviera Maya, Mexico.

 

So far wedding planning has made me a bit.... tee hee, but overall I have loved the process even though I have shit loads of stuff to do and not enough time to do it all!!

 

So far I have:

- Booked our wedding site and ceremony

- Booked our caterer, who also happens to be my wedding coordinator

- Established our entire appetizer, buffet and dessert menu (tasted it all too ~ delish!!!)

- Booked a compound (villa and 4 townhomes) for 30 immediate bride and groom family members during our first week there

- Bought a bunch of crap that will magically turn into DIY projects

- Secured a group reservation for 18 people roundtrip that must have deposits paid by Sept. 23 but I have no idea where we're spending our 2nd week yet - yikes!

- Sent out "will you be in my wedding" letters to my humongous wedding party (10 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen)

- Booked Charlie and Maria who will be officiating my Mayan/Cosmic Ceremony

 

In the process of:

- FI is doing the finishing touches on the STD's for us to print out and mail later this week

- Completing our wedding website but I am being a lazy bum

- Looked at dresses but refuse to try any on till I lose 20 pounds

- Setting up a contract to fly out a local photographer to the wedding

- Setting up a contract to bring my fabulous stylist to Mexico for hair and makeup for me and my gals, and the moms

- Trying to decide on who to choose as my videographer

- Finding the last few gifts for my bridesmaids

- Preparing a "Will you be my Wedding Sponsor" to certain couples (a Filipino tradition)

 

And most importantly ~ trying to find a way to pay for this "it will be a small wedding" that has suddenly turned into an extravaganza that is costing way too much!!!

Wow...You guys have ALOT more then me done!!

I am a June 24,2009 Bride :-)

I really just decided to have a DW, so I guess that's why I am a little behind with all the planning :-)

So far we have our date booked with our wedding package and By next weekend we will have our room booked. We started looking locally for our AHR...However...Every place I love is a little over my budget and I am actually getting a little upset over it.

Other then that.....Our STD's just went out on Friday and I have thousands of Idea's...Now I just have to get working on all of it!! :-)

Very Exciting!! :-0

I'm a June 09 Bride!!

 

So far we have:

 

*wedding location and reception booked

*dress purchased - should actually be receiving it next week!

*STDs sent out

*wedding website up

*have the room and airfare information available for people who are ready to

put their deposits down

*have reception site picked out - just need to put the deposit down

*have photographer (we're bringing one from home)

*the dresses for the bridesmaids are picked - they just need to order them (except for MOH)

 

 

Still need to:

 

*pick out a cake, which shouldn't be a long process as I dont care about that

*decide on centerpieces for the both receptions

*pick out a suit for FI and groomsmen (his job)

 

 

I feel like I'm leaving out a lot of stuff but that's ok. We are trying to get a lot of stuff done early so that when June comes, we can kind of just take it easy. lol We'll see how that plan goes. I'm glad someone started a thread for June brides. We can keep each other on track!!
