Hello everyone!! We're getting married at the Barcelo Maya Colonial on Jan 19, 2011, which is coming up sooo fast! I feel like there is a ton to do, though I'm not really sure what the next step is. Got the location, sent out the save-the-dates, got the dress. Oh, I know, bridesmaids dresses!!

Thinking of blue's & greens for the colour scheme to tie with the ocean and FI is opting for a blue with green tartan for his kilt, so white flowers would be fine I guess? OT - but when im still a noob i cant post pics right? (not that i have remotely figured out how to yet! must figure that one out I love to share photo's and idea's!!)

Yeah you can still post pictures - i think you just cant download attachments / templates at the moment.

My colour scheme is turquoise and gold ie; the sea and the sand - original i know. We have give the guests this colour scheme as well for the clothes as there are only 18 of us going. And lucky for us turquoise seems to be the in colour this summer.

Went shopping today in town there are so many gorgeous summer clothes - shame i dont get paid until next week! And the sun is only bloody shining in England today - whoop whoop!

I know how you feel i wrote down a 'to get / to do' list on sunday and OMG there is still sooooooo much i have to get / to. When i set our day and booked our holiday in Nov'09 i said i would buy things every month so i didnt have to end up buying everything later on and what have i bought about 2 things! lol.

I've done all of our invitations and RSVP cards for our AHR as we are having a large party when we get back. It cost me about £100 in total - when i was looking to get them all printed it was working out about £300 - £400! FI thinks they look good as do my BMs who i have shown them to. I'll get my camera up and running and post a picture over the weekend

For the actual wedding day invitations i will only need 12 but i will make sure these are that bit 'extra' special.

Christa - how did you get on??

[josietoms]

Hows everyones plans getting on. As we have a public holiday here in the UK on Monday and the weather looks a bit rubbish over the next few days think i am going to have a go at a few DIY projects and see if i am any good at it before i set myself the task of doing lots of projects!! Have any of you done anything 'homemade' yet?
