I agree sell the ones you don't want and get the ones you really do want.

WOO HOO another 2010 bride!! Congrats and I LOVE the ice hotel.

Thanks for the feedback ladies. You are the best!!! Carla

I found where I could remove it in the VBplaza. I was looking all over my control panel for it.

OK let me edit this. I have the glow in IE so that is fine. But now I HATE the way it looks. How to I go back to not having a glow?

I feel so bad for you!! Just remember all that really matters is that you are marrying the one you love. As long as you both are there it would be hard for your day not to be perfect no matter if your dad comes or not. Carla

I think it sounds like fun! This may or may not help you but here is an post on offbeat bride about a Halloween wedding: Offbeat Bride | Obsidian & Wayne’s Gothic Halloween-Themed Wedding!

Hi, I want to purchase a font for my name in the VBPlaza. Is there a list somewhere of what fonts you can buy? Or are any of these available (free fonts): Angelina Kaileen Andrew Script Papa Mano AOE Thanks! Carla

Hi All, I think I FINALLY have the design I want for my STD's. I still need to add info in some areas and replace the really bad pictures of us with our engagement ones but I think they are close. Does anyone see anything that needs changed or could improve them? Just want to make sure they are clear and easy to understand for our guests. Carla BTW TOTAL credit for the starfish design goes to Sarah from Sproullie Designs. She came up with the starfish design for Kat81's invites.

Chris, After reading through your list I guess I have more done than I thought. I totally forgot about finishing the guest list till you mentioned it. I picked out my dress too, now to have it made as a knock off. I am such a penny pincher. I was thinking sending ours out a year in advance but I am wondering if maybe we should wait until after the holidays because not all our relatives are invited and I would hate for them together in a room at Christmas and start trying to figure out who got invited and who didn't.

I was wondering how everyone's planning is going? So far we have: - location narrowed down but are waiting for our site visit to finalize - STD's 75% done - Basic picture examples for decor, dress, etc.... I feel like I have SOOO much left to do but that I am not getting anywhere cause we are waiting to select the resort. Anyone else feeling like this? Carla

I'm guessing per person. ~~ We are going to do them per person so that each person can fill them with whatever they like.

Its not tacky, we are doing the same thing.

You sounds a lot like me when I started. I was really overwhelmed at first. The three thing that really sealed the deal for us was the prices in the Riviera Maya were great, pictures from Del Sol photography that showed how amazing the area is for a wedding and the activities in the area are amazing. After that though we got a TA because we couldn't narrow it down any further. I would really sugguest getting a TA, I don't know what we would do without Tom. Carla

Awesome suggestions! Ok so here is what I revised it to: Quote: The Grand Palladium Riviera Maya A all inclusive resort complex that features five hotels in one resort built into acres of mangroves. The Grand Palladium has received numerous awards including the Green Plant Award for preserving the natural ecosystem of the Mayan Riviera coastline. The resort includes many amenities such as water sports, pottery painting, daily activities, nightly shows and 1.5 miles of private beach. Plus the location is close to shopping and many great attractions, like the Mayan ruins. We guarantee that everyone will find something to love. Does that sounds better? I want my guests to read it and feel excited about going to the GP.

So I am pretty sure that we are going to choose the GP. We are still going to go down and do the site visit but I have not seen anything as amazing yet. I am doing the boarding pass STD's and want to make one with a description of the GP but I am stuck. Here is what I have so far: Quote: A all inclusive resort complex that features five hotels in one resort built into acres mangroves. The Grand Palladium has received numerous awards including the Green Plant Award for building the resort into the mangroves and keeping their and that is where I got stuck. Any thoughts about what I should highlight? Thanks, Carla

We are going to buy our guests a cenote tour with ruins exploration as a gift for the OOT bags. Besides that we are going to compile a list of resort activities and non-resort actives but we are not organizing them. Plus it seems like a lot of the hotels have a tour desk in the lobby where they have group excursions. Carla

I am using my wedding dress. The water make it come out cleaner than when you put it on. Carla

I agree with Cattie about asking for a credit for the poor service. Even if they did to the 1 hours session I doubt you would be happy with the results especially since you have found your dream photographer. I know if I was in your shoes I wouldn't want anyone else but my photog.

Don't be sorry. I really appreciate the help. I was beginning to think I had totally lost my mind when I couldn't find it.
