I agree - not tacky at all!! You do what feels right and works for you.

YAY!!!! I don't think we've had anything purchased from our registry. And my friend who talked about throwing a shower for me seems to have flaked out. Frankly, I don't feel like bringing it up again anyway - it is what it is.

I'm hoping to get back into the wedding DIY crap this weekend, but I really have wedding-planning fatigue. I'm almost over it all at this point lol

 

Meanwhile my FI is getting all hardcore about planning the music for the reception. We had a 30 minute conversation about various apps for DJ music, types of music he wanted to include, blah blah blah. And by "we had" I mean he went on and on for 30 minutes while I nodded and tried to feign interest! boys...they are funny.

yup! invites out. and i absolutely LOVE them. we did the boardng pass invites and received so many compliments.  My cousin actually made them for me, and she is amazing! Better than I expected. Bought our flight tickets to the DR (finally) a couple of days ago...only $298. I couldn't believe I found them so low. I've never paid that little to go to the DR. what else. waiting on folks to finish booking, as they only have 1 week before final payments are due for the hotel.  AND I almost forgot...got a call today that my dress has arrived at the store! time for a fitting!!

Look at you go! I'm making boarding pass invites as well!! Post pics! I want to see yours!!!!

 

$298?!?! That is amazing!!!! I'm so jealous!! Since we are traveling thanksgiving week (getting married on Black Friday, lol) our direct flight to Cancun is $600!!! ugh!!! Our final payments for both are due Oct 5th..so we still have time!

 

Yay for dress being in!! I need to take my dress to my fiance's grandma's house as she is altering my dress for me!

Shan-

We are going to be right near each other. We are getting married 11-21 in Playa del carmen. Flying into Cancun as well so I hear you on the ticket prices...ouch!

How's planning going?

[shan0487]

How fun!! Ya the ticket prices suck!! But with so many of our friends as teachers, my mom is a teacher's aide and my sister and my fiance's brother are in college- we didn't really have any other options- Thanksgiving or Christmas. 

 

It's going well- I try and check a couple things off my list every week/weekend.  I am super busy though right now- we are in the midst of buying a house and one of my best friends is getting married Sept 22nd, so we have her bachelorette party next weekend.  It's a little overwhelming, but it's all fun and will be worth it!! I won't know what to do with myself after Nov, I'll be so bored, haha.

 

How's planning for you?

Hi Ladies,

 

I wish I had found this sooner!  I'm getting married at Aventura Spa Palace on November 11th, 2012.  I would love to hear how your planning is going!

[AllieH]

congrats and welcome to the roll call!!! 

 

my planning is pretty much on track - just some minor things left to take care of, and I'm right at 2 months to go.
