13 Months To Go
THIS MONTH'S TOPIC Asking Your Attendants
#1 Set expectations (for you and them)
Your maid of honor, bridesmaids, groomsmen, and best man may be called in for pretty active duty throughout the planning process. So as you choose your inner circle, keep in mind what you can reasonably ask your attendants to do: Can you ask them to come shopping with you? Absolutely. Can you ask them to spend more than they can afford on a head-to-toe ensemble that they’ll never wear again? Try not to.
#2 More isn’t always merrier
You have six best friends, three sisters, and five future sisters-in-law -- and you’re envisioning a great big gorgeous group at the altar. That’s all fine and well, as long as you keep in mind that having 14 maids involves some extra effort (and some extra expense): 14 bouquets, 14 gifts, and 14 people to consult about the dresses, the shower date, and the bachelorette party.
#3 The “new rules” of attendants
These days, many weddings feature bridesmen, groomsmaids, men of honor, and best women -- a gentle bending of tradition that we love. Brides, if you want your best guy friend in your wedding, he doesn’t necessarily have to stand on the groom’s side just because he’s in a suit.

Taste Testing
I just confirmed our taste testing with Celebrations. I called this morning to make the appointment, we are set to go for our taste testing on June 27, 2008 at 2:00 in the afternoon. I can't wait, it's going to be exciting!!!
Bridal Shower
I know that it is a little early to even be talking about the Bridal Shower however my mother and I were talking about my Bridal Shower last night. We did not want to have it at my house because we don't want to have to clean up the mess afterwards. I decided that I was going to start calling around to find out different prices and different places for a Bridal Shower. After calling around to a few places I found one place that was beautiful and at a reasonable price. I made an appointment this afternoon with Adelphia's, they have an amazing private room for our Bridal Shower. We have decided that we want to have the shower on a Sunday afternoon. Adelphia's has a wonderful Sunday Brunch buffet with tables and tables of food. Their private room is just as amazing as the rest of Adelphia's. My parent's were so impressed by the food and the room that not only did we book Adelphia's for the Bridal Shower but we also booked it for the Sunday after the wedding brunch. My Bridal Shower will take place on April 26, 2009 from 11:00 until 2:00. I can't wait!!!!:):)
Grandpa's Gift
I was talking to my grandfather a few days ago and he wanted to know what I wanted for the wedding. Not only is he giving me and Mike money for the wedding however he also wants to give us something we can remember him by. After talking for a little while my grandfather we agreed that he would buy us our fancy place settings. That is one thing that we don't have to worry about now
Happy Birthday To Me!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!
The other day I was thinking "What should I get myself for my birthday?" Every year I buy myself something really nice, so this year I thought that it would be a great idea to buy myself something nice off of my registry. Thursday was my day off from work so I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond and bought myself a few nice things off of my registry for my birthday
