Starfish @ Customs...


Recommended Posts

I didnt have any problems. I was more worried about bringing them back. I only paid $1 each so you could even leave them there. I needed them for our AHR. What I did was wrap them in bubble wrap and put in big zip locks because they stink. Then I put my receipt where I purchased them in the US on top of the bundle. I called customs before we went and she said I "think" you will be ok. Anyway we were fine and they looked great.

I just bought a bunch of starfish from another BDW girl who *luckily* lives in Canada too. I Hope not to have any issues bringing them into the US, or aboard our cruise ship. I will need to look into this too! I think I will be shipping them down though so that if they are held up or confiscated, it won't be out of my luggage! Talk about stressful! smile41.gif

I agree.  I know some people may just look at starfish as a rock or shell but to me they are living animals that already have a hard enough time dealing with our crappy environment not to have to deal with us letting them die to satisfy our needs.

Sorry, I don't mean to sound like some crazy Greenpeace advocate or anything...

 

I just know if I were using starfish it would be replicas all the way!!!

Wow,

 

I hadn't thought about this at all!  Thanks so much for posting this. 

 

I think I'm going to buy mine from the dollar store.  I saw a big bag of starfish for like 3$.  We'll attach them to the programs and place them around the table.

 

I'll have to look up the customs from Canada to Mexico, thanks!

    • 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!
    • 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!
