Oh man. I hope it's not a problem as I'm doing the same thing! I don't think it should be an issue as long is its in your "checked" bag and not your carry on. I'd put them in a ziplock bag to and make sure it's not around anything that can "stike" it. That would be bad. lol

Lori...this is what I was thinking....I will have to check into it. This might be a case where folks simply check them with no issue since it seems as you ladies say other brides have done it. Thanks!!

I was researching this topic a short while ago and taking notes because I was interested in taking sparklers and matchboxes to Mexico, too.  I do not remember all the websites I perused, but somewhere along the line I came to the conclusion that the answer would be "NO."

 

Here is what I have written down in my research notes:  The following flammable items are NOT permitted to be packed in your checked baggage:  Matches, torches, lighter fluid, fireworks, sparklers, and spray paint.  Gel-type candles are okay to pack in checked bags only.

 

I don't know if you are allowed to pack matchboxes in your carry-on luggage????

 

Also, anything that says "Made in China" is  NOT allowed into Mexico due to the  Mexican embargo against China.  That is going to present a problem, since most items seem to be maufactured in China nowadays! 

 

If you or anyone finds out differently, please let me know...  Perhaps I have misinterpreted some of the prohibited items, but I would rather err on the side of caution.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
