August 2012 Brides

Just out of curiosity when do you plan to send your invites out? Since most of our timelines will probably be very similar.

I just got engaged on December 17, so I'm just starting the process. Still trying to find a venue. Have it narrowed down to 3. Now freaking out about cost.

so, at this point there's not a ton I can do until we know WHERE we are going. We are planning a small, intimate (immediate family only) event, so don't really need save the dates, although will want them for the AHR in Sept.

Congratulations!!!! Honestly, so far, deciding where to go and picking the venue was the hardest part. Good Luck with your planning

I plan on sending invitations out in May or June.  Still working on something tangible to send out in the next month or 2.

Hello fellow August Brides!!!!

 

I am getting married @ the Hard Rock Punta Cana on 8/18/12.  It is going to be intimate and informal.  I spoke to my wedding coordinator today to pick ceremony music & decor, amongst many other things.  Hopefully everything falls into place.  Good luck ALL!!!

Congratulations!!!! I get married the Saturday before you at the Hard Rock. I finally have a call set up to talk to the wedding coordinator next Tues. Can't wait to finally get some things picked out. Maybe we'll see each other down there

 I I hope everything goes well for you!!! I arrive the day after your wedding.  I had my call on 5/8.  Did your "planner" send you menus, entertainment info, pictures of the places for the ceremony, etc.?  If not forward me your e-mail and I will give you everything I received......BTW one important thing you need is the wedding event location form (so you can pick your location and/or reception site).  LMK so I can forward it to you and you can get it to your "planner".  Supposedly that fom is important because sites are determined as those forms are forwarded to DR.

Hi Ladies!

I'm leaving for my Dreams Riviera Cancun wedding in 22 days!! I can't wait!

 

I was wondering if some of you could share your time lines for your wedding day. I thought we had it figured out but now I think we want to push everything back a little bit.

I was thinking:

 

Ceremony: 4:30

Cocktail: 5:30-6:30

Reception: 6:30-9:30

 

I wouldn't even mind having the reception at 7, but my fiance thinks that may be too late for some of our guests. Our wedding day is Sat August 4th and the sunset is supposed to be around 7:25-ish, so I'm hoping that by 5:00pm (when our ceremony ends), the lighting will be good for pictures.

 

Anyone else have any thoughts on this? Want to share your time line? I need a little insight.

Thanks!!

Kate
