When you announced your engagement, the first response you probably got was, “Have you set a date?” There’s more weight to this question than excited friends and family realize: your wedding day has a Sun sign and can say a lot about your how your big day will go…
If a wedding is a couple’s public statement of commitment to each other, a honeymoon is their reward for months of planning, organizing and smoothing over family feuds!
Aside from deciding on the right location (and spouse!), picking out a floral arrangement is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make about your big day.
A wedding is the celebration of the loving union between two people — but the bride undoubtedly pulls the focus! However traditional or non-traditional your tastes might be, you’ll be putting extra thought into the ensemble you wear to say your vows.
It’s wedding season! You’ve got your designated plus-one, you’ve bought the gifts off the registry — now you just need to decide what to wear.
The official kick-off to a woman’s personal wedding season is the bridal shower. It’s a great time for the bride’s friends and family to celebrate the lover’s leap she’s about to make — and to shower her with gifts and encouragement!
It’s no surprise: planning that fairytale wedding can be less like a dream, and more of a drain! That’s why so many women find themselves taken over by a Dr. Hyde-esque persona: the wedding prep period can bring out the ugly and unleash anyone’s inner diva!
Tired of attending the same-old bridal or baby showers? Where you sit around, drinking tea, eating crumpets, and watch someone open gifts? So were we. :)
Man oh man are these economic times harrowing- talk about inspiration for a glass of wine. But the doozy of the economic climate shouldn’t but a damper on your wedding planning if you’re moving forward with your awesome celebration this year.
When starting your life together as newlyweds, what better way to begin your married life with “date night” over a bottle of wine? By starting your future with a new, shared hobby: wine tasting?
Brides are often intimidated by the etiquette of invitation wording; in fact, the rules are fairly straightforward, and these days they are often made to be broken.
In the afterglow of a wedding, it can be a joy to write thank-you notes expressing heartfelt gratitude for the gifts you’ve received.
Your big day is one of love and bliss, but most weddings also come with a hefty dollop of tense exchanges and awkward moments — a sibling scuffle, an unenthusiastic bridesmaid, a delicate discussion about who’s paying for what.
Deciding whom you invite to the wedding can seem almost as momentous as deciding whom to marry. The task should be relatively easy: You simply invite your closest family and your dearest friends.
While your future in-laws traditionally plan and host the rehearsal dinner, you’re the best candidate to organize the actual rehearsal, since you’ll be the most familiar with all the details of the ceremony. Make certain that all who need to be there have been instructed about time, location, and logistics, including the order in which people walk down the aisle and where everyone stands at the altar.
Socializing and opening presents are at the center of bridal showers, but when games are planned, guests will have a more memorable and enjoyable time. The best activities are ones that the guest of honor will appreciate: a funny multiple-choice quiz about her childhood, or a lively true-or-false game. Don’t forget to award prizes to the winners; soaps, fancy chocolates, or scented candles would all do nicely.
There’s an unforgettable moment on the road to your wedding: It’s when you walk into an event at which people from every corner of your life are gathered together for the first time — parents mingling with friends mingling with other relatives. And though you may feel a moment of alarm as you consider the stories they could exchange about you, there is something wonderful about this first glimpse of your family life as a married couple. For many couples, that moment occurs at their engagement party.
Your favorite couple is getting married. As you scroll through their wedding registry filled with the requisite china, silverware and perhaps even a blender, you wonder if any of these gifts are meaningful enough. If tradition dictates that you give something for the home, why not something for its walls?
