This month our winners are Jenny & Justin, who are off to St. Lucia this month for their honeymoon.
In addition to spending considerable time in Iraq on peace missions, they're also using their registry to help
Iraqi farmers:
Sheep and Goats
Living in the Middle East has created a soft spot for sheep and goats in our hearts--after
all we met while hanging out with them in Palestine, and here in Jordan we must walk
through the flock in order to hail a taxi.
All sheep and goats will be purchased through
Heifer International and be donated to needy families and communities.
To learn more about Heifer International's approach in providing aid see www.heifer.org.

See resorts using Google Earth
|
We've added a new feature to our online resort information at TheBigDay: a link to Google Earth!
You can click the
link, and it will launch Google Earth, fly you overtop your hotel, and zoom in so you can see the location of the resort
with respect to the coastline, other resorts, etc. You can zoom in or out further, click on our links to other resorts
so you can see several resorts on the image at once...it's really cool.
You'll find the link below the main image of the resort on the main page for each resort on our site. We have
links for most but not all of our resorts...and we're working on the rest.
If you don't have Google Earth installed, it's a free download and just takes a couple of minutes to install.

Custom wedding website addresses
|
Want a nice-looking URL for your wedding website, without any irritating, difficult-to-remember numbers and funny characters?
Now you can create a customized URL for your wedding website--whether it's a site you created with us or elsewhere (like
TheKnot, the Wedding Channel, etc.). You can give out the custom URL to your friends and family, and when they type it
into their browser, they'll instantly be redirected to your wedding website...even if it's not hosted at TheBigDay!
|
|
Just log into your registry, and select the link that says "Create a custom URL for your wedding website".
