It took much longer than expected to make my own but it is worth it in the end. I have gotten several great compliments so far.

Ya finally a Dec 2009 thread our date is Dec. 16/09!

Here's what I have accomplished so far (it seems things have been put on hold for a little bit cuz of this swine flu business)..

- chose a resort: Ocean Turquesa (but again, may change if this flu worsens)

- sent out sdts in February and had most of our guests make deposits

- ordered the dress and bought FI's shirt

- booked a local photographer

- decided to do partyflops for favours but have yet to order them

- decided to do passport invites but deciding whether to send to everyone, even those who won't make it

- asked my BM and 2 MOH's, found and bought the dresses on the same day!!!

- my TA is working on a website for her destination wedding clients so that's a bonus!

- currently looking for gifts for my girls (my FI hasn't really decided re: his GM's)

For those of you having at home receptions, are you booking your venues/restaurants now?

I'm going to start looking at venues in 2 weeks for my AHR....Can't book yet because we don't know when we want to do it but I want to be ready when we do!

Our beach wedding is on the same day as yours. I am looking into buying an insurance policy for the wedding.

I contacted the wedding coordinator at EPM and she is going to order the towels for me from a vendor in Cancun so I do not have to worry about shipping or transporting them to Mexico. They cost a bit more (I'm sure the hotel did a little mark up) but it winds up to be the same price considering shipping international is very costly. Plus, it saves the hassle of us having the get the towels there!

Good luck!

The deposits for the wedding are non refundable regardless of the circumstances, so it will be to the bride's advantage to have an insurance policy. I still have a lot of time to research before getting one in place.
