I think that sounds reasonable. We are using YourCancunDMC.com and they are charging:

Round trip: $100.00 US (1 - 3 people)
Round trip: $110.00 US (4 - 8 people)

They set up a personalized website for our guests to input their arrival info which I thought was pretty cool. We are expecting a lot of ppl though so this is prob not necessary for smaller parties.

You're not alone! I feel the same way. All of the major vendors and details are all done but the little tasks are the most daunting! There are so many of them. I've been trying to accomplish one or two of the smaller things each week so that I don't drive myself crazy. I thought having a DW would so easy and relaxing and some times I feel like it's more work than a local wedding! In the end though it will all be worth it

Hi giraffexx - oh boy so sorry for the late reply.  work is nuts and who knew that wedding planning was a full time job too?!?!?!

 

and yahoo - you're getting married the day before me!!  I'm going to sneak into your wedding heheh    I'm having the ceremoney at 4pm at the gazebo.  What about you?

 

so were you able to book fernando?  he told me he was all booked for saturday    now i have no clue who to use for hair/make-up...

[OceanWonderland]

I can't believe it's less than 100 days!! Time is going to fly by now.

I finally sent out my invitations last week What a relief. So much work.

We also did our registry and figured out the GM attire.

All the big things are done.

But it's true, there are just SOOOO many little details, it's hard to keep your head around them all. But at least it's things that if it doesn't happen, it won't make or break the wedding.

 

I have my first dress fitting today! I am pretty excited to get an idea of what's going to happen to it. It's a corset so losing or gaining 5 pounds probably won't do anything with alterations. I'm just confused because you're supposed to wear the shoes you're going to wear for the wedding. And I'm going barefoot for the ceremony and I'll bring heels for the reception, but I feel like I'll just wear flip flops since who's gonna see my feet? And my FH is only a few inches taller than me, so heels will make us the same height.

What are girls thinking of doing? Heels or flip flops?
