Bride Dress and Weight Loss

Being also a writer at the Healthy Living and Diet Logs blogs, I figured out this could perhaps be of interest to some, as well as be more fit for this very blog than for the others. The subject is, of course, what to do when it comes to your bride dress, and you want…

A Honeymoon Registry?

Here is a great idea for a registry for couples who already have a lot of things to start their new life. It’s called a honeymoon registry. Friends and family can buy your dinner, help pay for sight-seeing, or just about anything else related to trip expenses. At Buy Our Honeymoon.com, couples can create a…

Inviting Co-workers At Your Wedding… Or Not

If, like me, you’re working in a tiny office where everyone tends to know everyone, this may be something of a problem you’ll be faced with when it’s time to decide on who to invite. So, one thing I’d like to state right from the start is that: there is nothing wrong with not inviting…

Do You Need a Wedding Planner?

Some people need to have control of every little detail of their wedding days. That makes sense, since it is one of those days you’ll remember (at least parts of) for the rest of your life. Other people just don’t want to have to deal with all those details on the day of the wedding,…

As more and more couples live together before their wedding nowadays, and as the age at which they marry has…

Since I’ve blogged here about tracking your thank you cards in order to avoid accidentally forgetting anyone–and after Lynn’s post about the matter on this very blog (she offers pretty good ideas, I think)– I figured out that maybe I could add a word about proper etiquette, if I may say so, when it comes…

A Different Approach to the Thank You Note

It is just good etiquette to send a thank you note to guests who bring a gift to your wedding. If someone spends time buying you a gift, then you should take a few minutes to thank them properly. There are the traditional thank you cards that you can buy. You might even be able…

Things You Can Do Without

Budgetting a wedding is never an easy task. But among all the things you have to think of, maybe some aren’t exactly mandatory, and nobody would mind you if you were to do without them. I’ve been researching this a little, and here are a few suggestions that maybe, just maybe, will help you prepare…

A few things to know: what might annoy your guests

The best party is the one where everyone has fun, that’s well-known. And although it is far from being an easy goal to achieve–can we ever make everybody happy?–here are a few things you might want to keep in mind for the experience to be enjoyed by both the newlyweds and their guests, without any…
