Picking the location was overwhelming -- i'm hoping the rest will be a little less stressful. So glad to have found this site and all of you!

Hi everyone! We're getting married January 4th, 2012...I guess our wedding is coming sooner than I thought after seeing others' wedding dates.

Are there any other Dreams Tulum brides? We sent email invites, 16-18 people booked, venue booked, photographer in R.M. booked, dress bought on a trip to Vegas in March. We just bought bridesmaid dresses a few

weeks ago. Now it is on to booking the AHR venue and church... I look forward to exchanging info with any of you.

 

Happy Planning!

Hi and welcome to the forum!! Another January bride! It looks like you have quite a bit accomplished. I'm also in the same place of looking at AHR venues. Happy planning!

Welcome to the site Ashley, it will be a great resource for you!!!!! I would recommend sending out your STDs as soon as you have your wedding date set with the resort, doesn't mean you book travel etc. but it will at least give your guests time to save and plan, book vacation etc.  We waited to book so we bypassed STDs and just sent out invites.  We made the arrangements with our TA, when we booked we mailed out our invites (May) for our February 2012 wedding.  Our guests has 3 months to book from the date we put down our deposits so this made the most sense to us!!!!!  I would definitely choose your resort and secure your date as a lot of brides have mentioned, dates book up quickly!!!!!!

Can anyone suggest a good time frame to send the STD and how far in advance we should send out the invitations? We are planning our DW in Mexico, and we have the resort picked out, but have not been able to get ahold of the WC to book the wedding. My FI thinks we should wait until closer to 2012 to book the resort, what are your opinions on this? I am a little lost on where to start the planning. Please help!

 

I think it all depends on travel.  Where your wedding is at home you can probably follow more at home "traditions" rather than DW standards because I am assuming less people are travelling.  One reason for the advanced STD and invites is because people have to book and AI vacation (or flight/hotel) and need time to save, book etc.

So far, I've picked out my invitations, bridal party outfits, location (that was easy!), and food....I'm now kind of freaking out because most of you have already sent out invites and STD's, I was going to wait until Jan. but is that too short of a notice? What is the typical time frame for that? 

 

I have been wanting to start my own planning blog because I have so many ideas floating in my head and want to help other brides!! I will definitely check it out!!!!!

i dont know that there is a certain time fram to do the STD...or invites, but I know for us were getting married April 14th 2012 in montego bay jamaica... ive already sent out the wedding invitations. Only to give everyone enough time to save and book the time off of work. i just didnt want to leave it to late and have everyone already book their vacation time.

is there alot of ppl that will be traveling a long distance for your wedding, or are the most of them in town or close....
