Carly I think you should def spring for the parasols, you want to make the honorary ones feel special too, especially since they are partaking in so many of the other wedding related events. As far as the dresses go, I think your idea is perfect. It will look really nice in pics.

I love the tattoo Jason! Way to show your wife you love her! Woot, woot!

Amy if I could help I would but we both know I'm worthless when it comes to computer stuff. Maybe Ann or Maria could help?

I don't think you have to worry about spring breakers in Feb. I think its mostly mid-march to april. So I wouldn't really stress about that. You should be okay.

I love this show! I watch it religiously! Its amazing how much I love cheesy reality shows. I think he just got into a huge fight with Lori and they parted ways. I love Danity Kane. I bought their CD and I love listening to it! It makes me happy. Donnie is adorable! I loved how Diddy told Aubrey that she is messing up the group and she was like "what do you mean?" and he goes "wearing green contacts, dying your hair." LOL.

Carly I don't have a computer at home or else I would offer to help you. Hmmm maybe I can go over my friend's house and work on her computer. If you can't find the template in your sent folder, then let me know and I'll see if I can help you.

Carly can you download another template and just work off the print out you have? Or is that going to take so much time?

Thank you Shandra, this will be very helpful to a lot of the Jamaican brides!

Oh and the answer is yes Martha you should continue posting in the Grand Bahia thread b/c this way when someone does a search on "Grand Bahia" they will be directed to that thread and find all the info they need.

Btw Morgan you have been very helpful to the newbies, sending them links and directing them in the right direction. We greatly appreciate your help!

Also just to clarify a little, If you made your invites or just got them in the mail and you want to show us, by all means start a thread and show them off! We love seeing pics of wedding stuff. This is a wedding forum after all. The pic of your invite or your instructions on how you did it yourself can really help a lot of members out there. What we don't want is for you to start a thread asking if anyone has ever made boarding pass STD's b/c there are tons of how-to's in this forum that will guide you step by step on how to make them. So in conclusion: 1. Starting a thread to show off your boarding pass save the dates 2. Starting a thread asking us for a template for boarding pass save the dates

Thanks girls for all the input. Its good to hear advice on how we can make things easier for everyone. ~Jason I think I peed my pants. I'm not sure if I did or not. I was gonna do a search to see if anyone else has ever peed their pants from laughing too hard at a post, but I just got so lazy. So I'm off to start a thread about it. LOL. Jason you crack me up.

For example, the other day I needed information on the restaurants at the Sheraton resort in Cabo. Instead of posting a new thread that said "Does anyone know anything about the restaurants at the Sheraton?", I proceeded to do a search and found lots of reviews from members who had already gotten married there. I also did my own searches on trip advisor and google to get more info. I was not able to find any pictures of the inside of a specific restaurant so I PMed two different members (who had been married there) and asked them their personal opinions on that restaurant and I also asked if they could send me some pics (assuming they had any). I got all the info I needed just by doing a search and asking a select few members. This saved the forum a lot of space than me starting a new thread and just having everyone direct me to the old Sheraton threads anyway. See, its very useful to do a search.

Good point Stephanie! Thanks for the input! On that note newbies, do not feel like you are highjacking a thread. Feel free to revisit and old thread and read over any information you need and if you still need more answers than post your question in that thread. Or ask the specific member who has first hand knowledge about it. You can also PM (private message) a member to ask them to send you pricing, pics, specific details, etc.

We realize that this forum can get overwhelming and sometimes its hard to understand how to do certain operations. I won’t explain how to search because Ann has done a great job of posting the “how-to’s” of forum searching. However I will give you some tips. Believe it or not, a lot of the questions that you are having, have probably already been answered in one thread or another. Before you start a new thread with your question, use the search option to see what kinds of information you can find. Of course if you don’t find what you’re looking for, then you are more than welcome to proceed with your thread. But it does take up a lot of the forums resources when you start a thread on a topic that has already been discussed in length. Examples: We have all at one point or another had: 1.Annoying guests who don’t RSVP on time. 2.Annoying family members/friends who criticize our choice of having a destination wedding 3.Annoying individuals in our lives who invite themselves to our wedding without being asked 4.Cheap friends who mooch off us and expect the world from us, but then don’t reciprocate the friendship by attending our weddings 5.Felt fat and wanted to join weight watchers 6.Felt fat and had no motivation to exercise 7.A guest (or bride and groom) who did not file the application for the passport on time and is now worried about not being issued one in time for the wedding 8.A wedding that was on the verge of being cancelled due to hurricane season We have also at one time or another come up with the great idea of: 1.Making passport style invitations 2.Decided to make our invites ourselves 3.Making boarding pass ticket save the dates 4.Using silk flowers instead of real ones 5.Bringing a fake ring to our wedding and leaving our real one at home for fear of losing it/getting it stolen 6.Having cupcakes instead of a cake 7.Creating a welcome letter/itinerary for our guests 8.Having a welcome dinner in lieu of a rehearsal dinner 9.Wanted to buy a starfish pin for our bouquet 10.Wondered how we could smuggle our bouquet back into the country 11.Purchasing traveler’s insurance And the answer is yes: 1.We have heard of Juan Carlos from Cabo and Sol & Matt from RM. 2.We do know good all-inclusives in the area 3.We do know a great travel agent 4.We do know a great wedding coordinator in your area 5.We do know a photographer that does trash the dress sessions or boudoir photos 6.We know where to purchase koozies or (fill in the blank) 7.We know a great florist in your area 8.We do know how to legally change your name We have also discussed in great detail: 1.Why you should choose an all-inclusive over a regular resort (and vice versa) 2.The pros and cons of hiring an outside wedding coordinator 3.Whether we should use our wedding gown for our trash the dress photos or purchase a second one 4.Whether or not we should sell our dress after the wedding 5.Whether we should have a legal ceremony before we leave 6.Which date you consider to be your “real” wedding date (your legal ceremony date or your destination wedding date) 7.Whether you should hire a DJ or just use an Ipod with speakers 8.Why all-inclusives still charge you for your wedding if its all-inclusive 9.Why some resorts won’t allow you to bring an outside photographer 10. Whether we should have a sand ceremony or the unity candle. 11. On a related topic we have discussed how to keep the sand in the container so that it doesn't spill when we travel back home. 12. Carrying the gown on the airplane with you vs. packing it I say this not to be mean or rude but merely to state that all of these topics have been discussed at great length and if you take a couple of minutes of your time you can find most of it on the forum by doing a simple search (Again I defer back to Ann’s searching instructions.) Does this mean that you can never ask a question? Of course not. You can ask lots of questions. Just make sure you try doing a search first before you ask, because you maybe able to get the info you need without having to start a new thread. SEARCHING NO-NO’s Do not forego the search option and just start a new thread because you are lazy. The moderators are like the Patriot Act, we are spying on you at all times. We will know that the info is out there and you just decided to be lazy. Please do not do this as it uses up forum resources and waste member’s time. Let's try to keep this forum running as smoothly as possible! Thank you for your cooperation.

Jaime I can't believe you have all these health issues. Do you have a weak immune system or something? It just seems like you get sick very often by various ailments. I know you really don't have money right now but you really need to go to a top internist so they can test you for various things. Texas is known for having excellent doctors you should def go see a top notch one. Just ask about payment plans and see if they can work something out for you b/c you def need to get to the bottom of all these health issues. I hope you start to feel better soon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAMMY! I'm wishing you a wonderful day but more than anything I am wishing a BFP for you!

I never used to get red but now I do all the time. Hence my siggy pic! LOL. I also get red faced when I work out. Don't worry your not alone!

Love the toppers! Those cupcakes look so good! I wish I had one right now!

These were hard. Wanna know something funny? Most of the time I remembered people's real names more than their forum member names.

That's awesome Jen! Juan takes excellent TTD photos! I loved Sarah's! I know yours will be just as amazing! Congrats!

I can't speak about any board directly b/c I have never viewed any other board. However I have never been able to understand why people feel the need to be cruel to each other. We are all here, sharing in the excitement of our weddings. Most people who are engaged are thrilled and want to share that joy with others. Moreover, I've never understood how people can be so judgmental and mean to people they have never met before. It just doesn't make sense to me. Call me cheesy but I'm glad we have nice girls on here who are willing to help one another. Think of how excited we each get when we see one of our BDW friends return with pics from her wedding. We want each of us to have the best wedding ever and I think that's what makes us different from a lot of boards (although I'm sure there are a lot of other perfectly nice boards as well) *Okay I'm going to step off my soapbox now*

Gretchen, Tammy has deactivated the shout box for now to see if the forum will run a little smoother and faster. There have been some technical problems with the forum that Tammy has been working really hard on fixing. For now the shoutbox will be deactivated, just so we can have the forum running smoothly. Don't worry we are always here to chat and offer advice.

OMG this would make me soooo nervous. Hopefully the next WC will know what she or he is doing. Thank goodness you have an outside WC Jen, or else it could become a mess. Remember how there was all those issues with prices? Hopefully everything will work out okay for everyone.

I'm gonna get started on these. Super fun!
