aw :) we've all been through this! Here is where I would start.... a date. I picked one and then narrowed down resorts based on which still had my date available. I became set on my date and it made things easier when the resorts werent available (it was like a sign or something!)

 

Also, a budget. How much do you want guests to spend? How much do you want to spend? Also where do you picture yourself getting married....on a beach? in a gazebo? a garden area? then going through pics and seeing which locations are better than others. Those were allll my starting out thoughts and thats what helped! good luck!

NUmber #1-- MAKE A LIST.

 

It will save your life. Add to it, or get rid of things-- but as you check things off the stress will just float away.

 

First-- Destination choice

Second-- Resort picks (2 back-up choices, JUST IN CASE)

Third-- Start plugging through these threads and look for:

- invite inspiration

- STD etiquette

- start looking for OOT bag stuff (cheaper at end of summer)

 

Most importantly-- Remember to enjoy every moment. While planning is by-far the most stressful part, it can also be some of the most fun. :) Get creative, and have fun! :)

Still no date or a venue. sad.gif

 

BUT, FI just moved down to Dallas (he lives in Chicago) for 6-8 weeks to stay with me and to plan the wedding. :) I've narrowed it down to 3 resorts; one in Hawaii, 2 in Mexico. Now, I'm searching for a location in the Caribbean. (FI is very inclined to the Caribbean.) We now have a budget - so it helps. At this point, I find myself more and more thinking - Civil service and let's call it a day!

Not really...
