Thanks for some input. We have to decide soon. Ugh I am just over sensitive i guess. idk whatever I am not going to worry about it!

I have a total of 7 ladies(including me) right now that want their hair done for the wedding and I'm just curious if the resort can handle it or if I am going to have to start picking which bridesmaid can do their own hair and which should have a pro do it

I emailed the lady for the hair and makeup appointments already which she said she would confirm with me in Jan. I think I have like 5 doing hair and makeup and she didnt say they couldnt handel it. I just made sure that I made the appointments early enough incase they were running late. ( someone on a post here commented that they ran a little late) I also scheduled a hair trial for myself the day I arrive...my make up I can fix...my hair is another story

I think we should start a list of what we all "think" we need to do in order to plan our wedding.. Like how many months before we should be doing so and so..

 

For me:

About a year until my wedding- I sent out Save The dates

About a year until my weddingl- I began looking for my dress. It takes approx. 6 months to come in

Hoping to send out my invitations about 7 months before

 

Booking appointments etc.. How long in advance you think we need..I know we do not receive our WC until 4 months before, but what can we do until then?

 

I hope you girls don't think I am crazy... =)

 

Like to know what you ladies are up to now!

My wedding is in April:

 

12 Months before- Tried on dresses and ordered "the one"

9 Months before- Sent out STD

7 Months before- Got my dress

6 Months before- Worked on formal invites

4 Months before- Send out formal invites, get FI and groomsmen attire

3 Months before- Get OOT bags and legal documents together

1 Month before- Have hair and makeup trial (mom and BM doing these for me)

 

I'm probably missing a lot in between, but this is all I can think of for now.

Do you by any chance still have the email address?
I was just assigned my on site coordinator this week but she is away until November 30th. (so really I have just been assigned an email address I can send questions too and hope she responds in a couple weeks when shes back)

Thanks!!!!

We will probably be there at the same time since I get on on the 24th!! Have you come and said hi to all of us crazy girls in the Feb brides group yet?

As for the shells from what i have seen they have been in the bottom of the jar!
