The countdown is winding down and you’ll soon be enjoying marital bliss. But before the planning comes to an end, gather your greatest gals for an afternoon luncheon. Keep the guest list intimate (your nearest and dearest only) and the menu simple (tea and sandwiches) and share an afternoon of girl talk and giggles with your best buds. Here are five reasons to plan a lunch with your lady friends:
1. It’s a great way to catch up on the latest gossip with your pals. From the latest in Brangelina to your unexpected bridezilla moments (you can laugh about them now), you’ll enjoy reflecting on the year that was.
2. The comfortable and cozy atmosphere is a great way to relieve any big-day stress. This is the one place you can let it all out (share a vent, show off, shed a tear) and your girlfriends won’t fault you for it.
3. You can temporarily forget about your big-day health regimen and chow down on delicious decadent desserts – sans the guilt.
4. You now have a reason to buy (and actually use) all those cute and stylish stationery sets you’ve been saving (we love this one from creationsbyleslie.com).
5. You get to bond with your best friends and not worry about who you please or how you look. It’s also a great time to personally thank them for all their ongoing support and dedication.
