Hi girls! We have confirmed July 9th 2016 at Gran Caribe Real Cancún. 

I'm so nervous and I keep telling myself we still have over a year to plan! Yet, I want to start everything!!!

When are you planning to send your stds? Since half of the family is traveling, I was thinking about sending them with one year anticipation. 

Happy planning!

Awesome! I don't know if I'm doing them myself or ordering online. Shippings to Uruguay are a bit over the top! 

Anyways congrats to you too!!

I would have loved to make mine - homemade cards are my favourite. Unfortunately (or fortunately!) we had to act fast to secure our deal.

 

I'll do a lot of DIY projects for the actual wedding though. I'm too excited to start the fun stuff.

[GlenRosa90]

I loooove DIY, I wish I had more time to sit and actually make stuff (so far my "DIY" is pinned hahaha) but I do plan on taking many things done by myself.

Have you thought about welcome bags?

Hi Ladies!

 

We have chosen Moon Palace for 26th April 2016!

 

We are doing boarding pass STD's. Had a friend design them for us, got them back last week. Just finalising the guest list so we can send them out...hoping to have them with guests before 26th April so they have them a year in advance ????

@@GlenRosa90 I've thought about them...still not sure if we will do it though. I have in my mind i'd rather do tank tops for everyone.

 

What are you thinking?

Just sent out the invites so people can put down deposits and bought my wedding dress on the weekend. I feel like I did all the important stuff super early and now I have over a year of waiting - and I'm not a very patient person!

I understand your pain....I'm not a patient person either!  

 

Where did you buy your wedding dress? My parents and I are going to be doing that in June and I'm looking for recommendations on stores. Also, did you go with a typical wedding dress or a lighter one due to the heat in Mexico?

@@rbehlke I got my dress from Ferre Sposa (at Bloor and Ossington) and I can't recommend them enough. My sister got her wedding dress there after a disaster at another location and they were amazing, so I knew I needed to get my dress there too.

 

The dressing areas are much more private than others I've seen and the people that work there are so helpful and friendly. They don't shove you out the door at the 1 hr mark of your appointment and never make you feel pressured into buying anything. Their dresses are much more reasonably priced than a lot of other places too. 

 

My dress is lighter than most of the others that I tried on, but it's still not super beachy. I think a big part of the decision on type of dress is the location of your wedding reception - if indoors with A/C then you can get away with a heavier dress for sure. Some girls buy a second (usually shorter) dress to wear during the reception to stay cool, others just grin and bear it in the heat. I'm in the grin and bear it crowd, based on the cost of the dress and how much I love it. I want to wear it all night even if I sweat to death!

 

This is my dress: 

 

This is the dress on the model since the lighting in my pic is terrible. 

 

Happy dress shopping - it was so much more fun than I thought it was going to be!
