awww...thanks girls!! raina is on the beach right now as we speak at one ot THE NICEST RESORTS!! lucky girl! steve took me shopping last night and bought me the most amazing things...he is throwing a b-day party for me tomorrow at this great restaurant ( Ana Mandara)so he bought me a fun dress to wear...this morning he gave me the sweetest card it made me cry and he is making me waffles and bacon for breakfast...he is being so sweet. we both are playing hooky from work today

Welcome!! my business partner got married in belize and LOVED it!! there are so many places to get married...costa rica, sayulita-MX, Punta Mita-MX, the list goes on and on!!

That kind of turned me off! I'm starting to get the feeling that I should go with the coordinator at the hotel we choose instead of going through an outside agency. It seems like its best to go with an outside agency if your planning to have your wedding at a villa. I'm so confused! amy, i would hold off on getting a coord until you decide what you want...most of the time, the larger resorts have in-house WC so you can start there...if you want something more complicated, then you can think of hiring another WC but you will waste $$ doing it the other way around...some WC will sometimes sway you from getting married at a resort so they can make more commission...i had a WC in PV in fact email me there info and they alluded to that so we both got higher commissions...that really turned me off. just do research...start jotting down what you envision your DW as...if you need feedback or want someone to bounce ideas off, we are here...is you have random questions...we are here.

thos are great and would fit in perfectly at a DW

I was thinking about skipping the OOT bags - do you think this is a real faux pas (sp?)? My budget has just gotten so out of control that I need to start cutting... if its not in your budget, then it is not in your budget...and you have such a huge group that it would be soooo hard to do.

I compiled a list of frequent questions and answers on how to do some basic things on the forum...Hope they help! Upload Siggy Max. dimensions of pic is 350 x 350. If it is bigger in either direction, your sig may not work. 1. go to your usercp and go down to "edit options" a. at the bottom where it says "Message Editor Interface" in the pull-down box chose "standard editor" 2. then go to "edit signature" 3. upload your pic. There are 2 ways to do it: a. upload the image from your computer b. take the "URL tag" from photobucket 4. once picture is uploaded and showing, click "insert signature picture" (see pic below) Post Images (4 Ways: VBImage Host (down temporarily), from a website, from photobucket or VBPicGallery) vb Image Host (down temporarily!): This is used to upload images directly in posts. You can upload a few ways: the best way is to upload your pic to photobucket & insert the IMG code. here is the BDW Photobucket account info if you don't want to open your own account: Since the imagehosting feature is not working on the forum right now, I thought I would post the BDW photobucket account for those that do not have their own account. You can host pictures or your siggy here. Use the IMG Code Username: caboweddingforum password: mexico 1. through the link on the navbar (between vbpicgallery & new posts) or 2. Post a pic from another website: Pull Up the Image Right-click on the Image Go to "Properties" and copy the URL code (imagename.com - Welcome!...) Post a message, go the the "Insert Image" icon and paste the image URL in the box. vbPicGallery is a place to have your own photo gallery. Please DO NOT uploiad your pics as an attachment so that members have to download them to view them. Pics uploaded as attachments will be deleted! Multi-Quote If you want to multi-quote a bunch of different posts, here is what you do... 1. go to the posts you want to quote and click the "MQ" button. 2. after you have clicked all the posts you want to MQ, go do the "quote" button on the last post you clicked "MQ". this should bring up a page with all the quotes together so you can comment on one post but address different issues/topics. Email Notification Did you know you can change your email notification so you can get the latest information/posts on threads you are interested it...? to see what your notification is set to: go to your "UserCP" ---> "edit options" ---> scroll down until you get here---> "Default Thread Subscription Mode" When you post a new thread, or reply to a topic, you can choose to automatically add that thread to your list of subscribed threads, with the option to receive email notification of new replies to that thread. you can change the subscription mode so you get an email whenever a new post is added to a thread you responded to or a daily/weekly update. View First Unread Post This is from Christa (A10CALGAL): Here's a tip that I use everyday, when you visit an ongoing thread that you've read thru to a certain point, you can click "View First Unread" in the upper left hand corner of the screen (just under the "post reply" button & just above the first post). This will take you to the first post in the thread that you haven't yet seen. It's handy! Smilies If you don't have a smilie box and would like one go to your usercp and go down to "edit options". At the bottom where it says "Message Editor Interface" in the pull-down box chose "standard editor" Invite new Members/Referrals: You gain referrals by promoting Best Destination Wedding Forum using your unique referral link. The link you should use as your referral link is this in your usercp and should look something like this: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...p?referrerid=1 Each time someone follows this link to Best Destination Wedding Forum and registers as a new member, your referral count will be incremented by one.

Sounds good to me! also, it will be a great photo op...i love the pics of brides getting ready!

Quote: Originally Posted by akh OOooohhhhhh!! Funny - that was my exact reaction! Then I kicked myself for not being able to figure that out on my own. Thanks for the clarification! And I was planning on doing something like this for the guests ... so keep the ideas coming! if you look in this folder, there is a whole thread with ideas...and pics.

Quote: Originally Posted by A10CALGAL Yay Kristina!! And, OMG Tammy - check out those new smileys! This is a whole new level... i knew you would love the moon-walk smiley!

i chose dreams because i made a list of what i wanted and it fit me the best...here was my list of criteria: It had to be: AI (all-inclusive) Have a place for ceremony other than beach but with water views had to be family/kid friendly not too large not in town but close enough to town less than $400 per night for our friends and family

i agree with Tammy, it couldn't hurt to ask Juan and he is really helpful...photogs know each other and network so i wouldn't be surprised if he had a good person to refer you girls to... next time you see him on, ask, or you can PM him.
