#922: Receiving your very first RSVP
You gotta have extra love for that one early bird guest who RSVP’s the minute they receive your invitation. It’s definitely awesome to get that first one in–either via e-mail/phone call/mail, because a) that means people are actually receiving your…
#923: Wine tasting
This idea sort of goes hand in hand with menu tasting–but is slightly different in a way. I just read about a bride and groom who’s main focus was to pair different wines with their various meals, which I think…
#924: Finding the perfect wedding favours
Initially I thought this idea would be a cinch–but after talking to plenty of my recently married friends and soon-to-be brides, choosing your favours isn’t as easy as it seems to be. The problem? There’s too many great options out…
#925: Being able to take home your wedding dress
This definitely applies to every bride that has gone through fitting after fitting after fitting–or perhaps you only needed one fitting. But to finally have your wedding gown in your hands is the most AWESOME feeling in the world. Trying…
#926: Hiring a professional to do your hair and makeup
It’s not everyday that you get to be fully pampered from head to toe, which is why getting your hair and makeup done is awesome. Makes you feel and look like a princess. Are you hiring a makeup artist? What…
#927: Seeing your dad get teary-eyed as he walks you down the aisle
The moments you spend with your bridesmaids and love ones–especially when they see you in your dress for the first time is quite the experience. But, it’s the teary-eyed look that you see from your father that can really be,…
#928: Switching your Facebook status from in a relationship to “engaged”
Like I’ve mentioned in previous posts, the amount of engagement announcements that I’ve seen from my Facebook has skyrocketed–and this was strictly from Facebook status changes alone. I’m pretty sure if you put it out there, that must mean you’d…
#929: Finalizing your wedding theme/colour palette
Some of you may know right off the bat the exact colours/motif you’ll want for your wedding day. For the rest of you, it’s always a toss up between which shades you love and which shades will look good. After…
#930: Learning that your surprise engagement proposal was caught on film/camera
I’ve noticed a rising trend on Facebook amongst all my recently engaged girlfriends–having engagement proposals captured on film/video. I love seeing the reactions–some funny, some emotional. And I truly believe that being a part of that exciting experience is so…
#931: Dropping the “fiancé” bomb as many times as you can
Most engagements don’t last longer than a year, some even shorter. Which is why, using the term “fiance” as many times as you can is so awesome. When else in your life are you going to say “my fiance and…
#932: Registering!
Actually going to a store and registering, in my opinion, can be a fun task. It’s like going on a shopping spree–well, sort of. After all, it’s the one time you can stock up on the basic essentials for your…
#933: Finding centrepieces that your guests will fight over–amicably of course
I love weddings that have awesome centrepieces, which you can take home. So awesome in fact, that every guest at the dinner table has their eye on them right from the start. I recently attended a wedding where all the…
#934: Seeing your wedding invitations for the very first time
There’s something quite surreal about seeing your wedding invitation design come to life. You’ve seen the sketches and even ok’d the digital/final proof version. But what’s truly awesome is being able to feel/see the hard copies of your invites.
#935: Being able to have a nice date night in with your mister
We admit wedding planning can get a tad out of hand, which is why we LOVE and are firm believers for taking a quiet night in to reconvene with your fiance. Sometimes a little less wedding talk and a little…
#936: Planning an elopement
Our editor-in-chief Alison did just that and surprised us with the news when she returned to the office. For her, it was pretty awesome to see the shock and happiness on our faces when she told us, and I bet…
#937: Finding your first newlywed nest together
According to our recent survey, 74% of couples are already living together, so for the other 26% this awesome idea applies to you–unless you plan on buying a new pad after your married, then this also applies to you. Don’t…
#938: Counting down to your wedding day
So what if you know that it’s t-minus 114 days 14 hours and 3 minutes to your wedding day? I think it’s awesome when brides, especially through their Facebook status, publish the exact number of days left to their actual…
#939: DIYing a portion of your wedding
Whether you’re involved in the design of your invitations, creating your own wedding favours from scratch or even baking your own wedding cake–the idea of DIYing part of your wedding and the feeling of accomplishment that you feel after is…
#940: Booking your transportation
Getting to and fro your ceremony and reception venue in a limo/carriage or even a car decorated with a “just married” sign can be pretty darn awesome. A limo especially, can make be thrilling and make you feel like a…
#941: When your friends happily agree to be a bridesmaid
Choosing your bridesmaids and maid of honour can be exciting–albeit tough–but still a fun task. The part that makes it all worthwhile is taking your friends aside one by one and asking them to be a part of your special…
#942: Feeling relieved after you’ve introduced your future in-laws to your family
Introducing your family to his and vice versa–well that thought can either be exciting or intense or both. The awesomeness comes after it’s been done, when everyone is comfortable enough to mingle with each other and talk about more things…
#943: Finding out your groom-to-be met with your parents/relatives to ask for your hand in marriage before he popped the question
In some people’s eyes, asking your parents (your father particularly) or your relatives for your hand in marriage may seem like an outdated tradition. But call me old-fashioned, I personally think it’s sweet, respectful and courageous when your mister talks…
#944: Having your groom attend all the wedding appointments with you
With the exception of gown hunting, I think it’s safe to say that having your significant other tag along to all your vendor appointments is important. After all, it’s his day as well, and whether he has a huge say…
#945: The giddy feeling you get when you try on your first wedding gown
The first dress you try may not be your “it” wedding gown–it might even look all out of sorts. But don’t you love the exciting feelings you get when you first enter a bridal shop? You’ll most likely pick a…
