Leigh, what about Missmoloya? It's so pretty there with the lucious rainforest. The drive is a bit scary (local mexico, dogs everywhere). The zoo is out there where we got to play with the baby tiger and pather cubs. And i also think Chicos is around that area(place where they fillmed Predator).

Those are ADORABLE! I love the colors and the cute photo inside. WOW, great job!

I know I was hoping Sarah would be around... she is the Queen of DIY and the Lumapix Goddess!

OK so I went to dafont and got one I really like. It's fancy but soft. if that makes sense.... I also changed the font color to yellow.

Thanks but this is the one part I actually really do like sorry. I'm going to try and fiddle around with different pictures. Maybe it's the pictures I'm not totally inlove with. Quote: Originally Posted by Just Martha One thing I might change is either taking off the "thank you" or the "gracias." Not sure why though....does everyone you are sending them to know what gracias means? If so, then I would take off the thank you. These are the thank you cards we are sending out to all our 55 guests that came to mexico with us, so I'd hope by now they know or remember what gracias means.. hehe Maybe I should have mentioned that before. Thanks for the feedback. Quote: Originally Posted by beachbride08 I think I would remove the brighter color picture or make the font darker. The color picture is where is what stands out the most. That's what i was going for to be honest. I like having the background opacity level higher and then a picture. I guess just personal taste. Do you think if I made the brighter color picture bigger would it help? Quote: Originally Posted by AnnR I actually really like them - but I am curious what it would look like if your "Gracias" was in the yellow color of your flowers. it might not look good - but i'd need to see it! I'm going to try that.. I like that idea. Think I should leave the "thank you" font in brown though? Or both in yellow? Thanks Ann! Quote: Originally Posted by lauren c. i like the two photos, but agree about the font..it definitely needs to be darker, and i'm not sure i'm in love with the font itself...i almost think it's too stuffy (for lack of a better word) for pics on the beach.... yeah I know... but I figured since it was a wedding it should be fancy. Do you have any recomendations for fonts? I'm open to changing the font! Thanks! Quote: Originally Posted by amyh I know you are looking for constructive feedback, but I really like them! Awww, thank you. I just feel like it's missing something or soemthing is off. Ann may be right about changing the color... or changing the font itself. i'm going to go play around.

Here it is: I'm not totally inlove with it, I know I could add something more. But I'm not sure what else to add? Do you like the brown font? I was planning on writing personal thank you notes on the inside of the card. I've been playing around with this layout for over a month now and I need to finish it and get these in the mail. I'm open to comments and suggestions.

I use Proshow Producer. It's great! I've only been able to play around with it a little bit. i know the program has alot of capabilities I still need to explore. I purchased it for $150 but I can't find the site. I found this site which states it's alot more but there's no way I'd pay that much so I know it's out there cheaper. ProShow Producer let me know what you think...

Congrats! That is wonderful news, I'm proud of you. Such an achievement.

hey Courtney, when are you leaving for Disney?

Good for you Jen, that's awesome!

Hi Kathryn! SO glad you joined the forum! If you have any questions about the Riu jalisco and their weddings just let me know. It's such a beautiful venue. Lots of fun for your guests too!

Hmm so does this mean less BDW time too? The forum would not be the same without you Ann. Who else would I have for an enforcer if you know who created some trouble?

That is adorable! She has an amazing talent and I love the fact that you're going to be getting this one as well. It's one of those gifts that you just can't top!

Thanks girls.. I've been so busy! It's absolutley mind numbing working from 7 am until 6:30 in the evening. I've been comming home and going straight to bed. All this hard work will pay off I'm sure.

I'm at work right now Angela so I'm unable to give you the program name I bought but it did everything showit did for a little bit cheaper. I researched showit quite a bit because I wanted to make my own slideshows too. The program I got (racking my brain here for remember the name of it) lets you put music to the timing of the slides. I love it!!! I haven't been able to upload them though because the output is too large of a file for photobucket. I never tried youtube or anything, so I may have to give it a shot. I'll be back on tonite and I'll be able to tell you more info about the program. It's worth looking into for sure.

Cool, good to hear some feedback. I saw they were doing the free t-shirt promo too and thought about ordering one for a bachelorette party coming up (not mine). I just need a catchy lil quote.

HORAY! I get a bigger office, better computer, $10k more salary and a better job! I will get to apply myself more in this position. It’s more of an accounting position too. I’m excited and want to celebrate but I’m so tired. I’ve been coming in to work early and staying late so I can finish our year end from my previous position and my new position. For this reason I’ve not been as active on BDW as I would like. I need to get my act in gear and finish my thank you cards. It was nuts in here yesterday, the girl who got let go/quit had her husband calling in threatening our manager and EVERYTHING! Talk about drama, I had my fair share yesterday. Happy with the outcome though, otherwise I wouldn’t have gotten the promotion. Hopefully today will be a bit smoother.

WOOHOO! Congratulatons Jessica and Alyssa... sounds like a tongue twister. hehe

Nothing wrong with being clean Glenda. J is a total freak when it comes to being clean.... Do you subscribe to Good Housekeeping magazine? I am always reading good cleaning tips from that mag. How to get bad smells out, how to clean why you only have 20 minutes, etc. Check it out - or I wouldn't be suprised if you already got it.

Lyn, I also PM'd you but the name of the dress is "Jessica" and the designer is Maggie Sottero. It's actually a golden color too, not white.Hope this helps. Good luck

Well that sucks... at least you were able to make the best of it.

I ordered from bestbridalprices.com. I wrote a review here which may help you too http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t8761 I love maggie dresses and it is do-able. good luck

Congrats girl!!!! Nice review... any pictures?

We went on our first road trip of 2008 this weekend to Biloxi Mississippi. We had a blast and caught up with some friends of ours who are live near Biloxi. Did some shopping, played some guitar hero (I’m addicted) and went to Chuck E Cheese. That place has got to be the best form of birth control (for a few weeks anyway). I was having anxiety attacks left right and center! Smurfs were running all over the place screaming, throwing their shoes, spilling pop (soda) and getting their grubby sticky hands on everything that was in their reach! It was crazy, unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I lost track of ours friends little boy… thank god we weren’t out in public! Turns out he was in some tube banging on the glass, trying to get my attention. I took him and his little friend to the bathroom and these 5 year old boys peed all over the toilet seats! EWWWW!!! I was totally disgusted and grossed out. Not to mention feeling sick to my stomach. How do adorable little boys become such nasty little monsters? Seriously; doctors should prescribe a Saturday at Chuck E Cheese for anyone in need of birth control! Now it’s back to work and preparing for my first year end with my new company. I’m not looking forward to this. The company is in such a mess! I’m the 5th person this year in this position; you can imagine how many mistakes need to be crack downed. I’m cleaning it the best I can but it doesn’t help when co-workers call in sick and they know this is the week we need everyone. Multi- tasking – got to love it! It’s so frustrating but Jared keeps telling me they will notice my performance and it will get recognized.
