Activity for Julia Beth

I've been asked to be a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding next year. She's an amazing girl and one of my bridesmaids. I love to crochet and decided to start making her an afghan to give to her at her bridal shower. It's in a light, non-offensive color...

So I'm about 2.5 months out from my wedding at this point. I know that my amazing bridesmaids have planned a bachelorette party (a few of them have mentioned it i.e. "I'm so excited for your bachelorette party, you're going to love it!"). BUT, no one...

I still haven't gotten them back. Originally my photographer told me 4-6 weeks. The six week mark was at the end of March. When I didn't get them by then, I emailed and was told "soon." When I still didn't have them at the end of last week, I emailed...

Apologies in advance for the minor vent. I'm just so tired of waiting on things. I'm STILL waiting for my boudoir photos (it's 3 weeks since the photog said I'd have them), waiting to hear back from the girl who's doing our invites so that I can...

Anybody subscribe to any of these and have thoughts to share? I've been dying to subscribe but will only allow myself to one (and even at that I feel like I'm caving), and I'd like to have some opinions on which, if any, are actually worth signing up...

I don't know if any of you have experienced anything similar, but planning my wedding and my interactions with some of my bridesmaids has actually made me a little depressed. Not because of anything bridesmaid-related they have or haven't done, but...

I seriously feel like I'm going crazy waiting for them. It's been two weeks since the date that she originally said they would be ready, and I'm still waiting. I know that this is typical with photographers, and I just need to be patient, but I am...

This is actually about my best friend, who isn't engaged yet but will likely be any day now. She had a very rough childhood and always dreamed of a traditional wedding with all her family, but as a couple they will have a very limited budget. On top...

Soooo my FH's birthday falls over our honeymoon I want to bring a gift with me to give him on the day, but it has to be small enough to fit in my luggage. Some ideas I have are cologne (but that seems boring), a guitar pick (except I wanted to give...

I love surprises. I didn't want to know a thing about my shower, and I know it was important to my mom that it be a surprise. She's been working super hard, along with my bridesmaids, to make it happen and keep it secret. Last night my whole family...

Anybody else trying to whiten their teeth at all before the big day? I just started using Crest White Strips (no results yet but it's only been 2 days!) but was wondering what others have done and what the results were like?

Please tell me I'm not alone in this. I know I'm in no position to complain. I'm very fortunate that my parents are contributing so much to our wedding, and without them this wouldn't even be possible. I don't mean to come off as whiny or as a brat,...

I took boudoir photos a few months ago and the photographer (who really is amazing, she just isn't all that great about timelines, I've noticed) gave me a 6-8 week timeframe for getting the photos back. Well Friday was the last day for her to...

My FI was out of town an hour away for a business meeting today. They were later than expected leaving and then apparently had trouble getting a train home. Last I talk to him was 5 hours ago, and now his phone is going straight to voicemail. This is...

I love to read and crochet, but have found that things have gotten so crazy with all the wedding planning that I just haven't had the time recently. As much as I'm looking forward to the wedding, I'm also looking forward to having free time again,...

This is something I didn't know and (thankfully) just found out. I thought I'd pass the information along in case there's anybody else who finds it useful. If you are traveling out of the country for your honeymoon, be sure to check your passport...
