Congrats and Welcome! I started about as early as you did just trying to pic a resort. It is never too early..:-)

Congrats on being an early bird! There's nothing wrong with that at all...now you have more time for DIY's! Trust me I didn't think I was going to go crazy with my DIY's but the ladies on this forum are so helpful and have so many great ideas it's so hard to not want to! Happy planning!

I've been planning (mostly in my mind) since July of last year... and I didn't get officially engaged until Oct! And the wedding isn't until June of 2011. No such thing as too early!

 

Congrats!

I am also a December 2011 Puerto Vallarta Bride!  I am not having my wedding at a resort, so I am still working on figuring out where we will stay.  I hope to do that soon because I want to send out my save the dates as early as possible.  What are you telling family or friends about airfair?  I know people want to know how much it will be to start saving, but airfair isn't out yet for December.  Good luck with all your planning!

Thanks so much ladies! My apologies for never responding - just today I was notified I had all of these messages-- from like February!

 

You ladies were right - this month it will be one year since my engagement and it has gone by SO FAST! However, in that one year we: booked our wedding at Playa Fiesta, booked our photographer, and booked our minister. Just last month, we sent out the Save the Dates & put up our website. I can't even think how we could get everything done had we NOT had such a long engagement!

 

@EricaMarie: Yes, I agree with you -- send out your Save the Dates as soon as you can! Given the considerable cost & time required, we wanted to give our guests the most time we could. I felt a little silly sending out Save the Dates about 15 months out, but people have said they are really grateful for the advance notice! Since we have our hotel booked, we were able to let them know how much to budget to stay there the week. As far as airfare, you're right, most flights won't open up until 11 months out. For those that have asked, I have given them estimates based on fares for those dates in December for this year and expect them to be comparable (or cheaper if they book early on).

 

Happy planning everyone!!

Yes, give the guests a lot of time to coordinate. About the airlines, we have recently traveled extensively with jetblue. unbelievable prices. We are talking about $300 to Orlando or $ 400 to NY.. from Cancun... we have experienced delays of about one or two hours between planes, but I'm not complaining whith those prices
