PostHeaderIcon Honeymooning On A Budget

Once you make the plunge on marriage, one of the first experiences you will have is shock at how expensive everything is. Honeymooning on a budget is a good way to limit the cost, but still have a great time.

Honeymooning On A Budget

Sometimes, the destination of a honeymoon isn’t the only thing a couple has to consider. Whether you’ve just spent a lot of money on your lavish wedding ceremony, or you just don’t have a lot of money to spend. Honeymooning on a budget can be necessary in order to avoid starting life together in the bankruptcy court. Inexpensive honeymoons do not have to be bad honeymoons. If you are careful about which destination you choose and what time of year you travel, you can have a great honeymoon for little money.

Most couples long for the romantic atmosphere and perfect climate of an island getaway or feel the pull of a historic city like Paris, France. Exchange rates for United States dollars are not that good at this time, especially against the Euro (the unit of money for most European nations) – so travel to Europe may not be the most economical way to have a honeymoon. The same goes for traveling to many Caribbean islands and nations. For many couples, finding cheap honeymoons may involve staying within the United States.

According the American Automobile Association (AAA), the cheapest five states to have your honeymoon in are as follows: Nebraska, North Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. Not the country’s most scenic or hospitable states, but if you are looking for a place to go that’s really inexpensive, those are the states to visit. Other options include driving instead of flying to a destination in the US (for example, taking a cross country trip in a car from New York to California), but this too can be less of a bargain than usual because of high gas prices.

Another way to book inexpensive honeymoons is to choose one of the many all-inclusive resorts (located in various Caribbean countries, Mexico and even the US). While not as cheap as a short driving trip to a nearby state, all-inclusive resorts do tend to save honeymooners money as everything is paid for before you get to your destination. That way, if prices of food, fuel or accommodations do go up, you are not affected, because you have already locked in your lower rate. You also won’t be tempted to spend additional money on alcoholic beverages or fancy restaurants, because these items are already included in your bill.

Finding inexpensive honeymoons can help you to save money, which is important for many couples in these troubled financial times. Just be sure to choose a destination and time of year that you’ll be happy with, even if it’s not your first choice.

PostHeaderIcon 10 Tips To Overcome Cold Feet Prior To A Wedding

Feelings of anxiety and concern are completely normal prior to a wedding. One or both members of the couple may experience the cold feet phenomenon that overshadows them and causes them to become concerned over their upcoming wedding. Usually this feeling is not a cause for concern and it passes naturally on its own as your realize that you are more excited than anxious but the following are a few tips for helping to work through your cold feet issues.

The first tip for dealing with cold feet is simply to relax and realize that this happens to a lot of people in your situation. This is important because many people will get caught up in believing that these feelings mean that they shouldn’t go through with their wedding. Realizing that your feelings are completely naturally will help to waylay these fears.

After you calm down, get out a piece of paper and pen and just start listing all of your anxiety. This is particular helpful because you may have a great deal of trouble doing this which is significant because it helps you to realize that you don’t really have anything to worry about. The other scenario is that you may find that you have a long list of fears and may be amused to find that none of them are really logical. Sometimes seeing your concerns listed on paper helps to alleviate them.

Another tip for dealing with cold feet is to talk to your partner about your feelings. Many people are hesitant to this because they are embarrassed about their feelings but talking to your loved one can really help in this situation. Chances are that they know you better than anyone and can assist you working through these things. They may even confess similar feelings which helps you to realize that cold feet are completely natural.

If you feel that talking to your partner will further exacerbate the problem consider talking to a close friend instead. Just talking about your anxiety can help to relieve the tension. Once you verbalize your fears you are likely to find that they begin to dissipate and you start to relax and look forward to your upcoming wedding.

Another tip for dealing with cold feet is to talk to a friend who has recently married to get their perspective on married life. They will be able to tell you how well things are going for them which should ease your fears about the transition to married life. They will also be able to assure you that they had similar feelings of anxiety and that there is no cause for concern.

Making two lists; one of your fears and one of your reasons for marrying your partner, can help to alleviate cold feet. Once you make this list you will most likely see that the reasons that you want to get married far outweigh your fears. Sometimes just seeing this on paper is very beneficial to eliminating cold feet.

Writing a love letter to your partner can be another way to combat the feelings of cold feet. This process gives you a chance to ponder all the reasons why you love your partner. Expressing your feelings in a love letter can refocus your attention on what you love most about your partner and make you realize that the small things you are worrying about are really inconsequential.

Going through old photos of you and your partner can also help to ease the anxiety of cold fit. Looking through pictures from your courtship is a great way to remind you of all the fun times you and your partner have had together and will help you realize that there are still lots of fun times together in store for the two of you.

Spending some time away from the planning process is another way to help alleviate cold feet. Wedding anxiety is often spurred on by other problems such as the stresses of the wedding planning. This stress can put you on edge and make problems seem bigger than they really are. Take a trip to spa or spend an afternoon participating in an activity you enjoy to take your mind off of all the details that are still remaining for a little while.

Finally, if after examining the reason for your cold feet, you come to realize that there are serious issues at hand it is advisable to postpone the wedding until these issues can be resolved. If your concerns are valid and your relationship is potentially harmful either physically or emotionally you may need to seek professional help. Issues such as abuse, addiction and betrayal can be reasons to cancel a wedding and discontinue the relationship.

Cold feet of feelings of anxiety over your impending wedding are perfectly normal. Many brides and grooms have these feelings and in most cases they are completely harmless. It is, however, important to trust your instincts and if there is something seriously wrong with your relationship, it may be wise to cancel the wedding.

PostHeaderIcon Wedding Favors, Mementoes That Say Thank you

Wedding favors have been used by wedding couples for over 500 years to say thank you to their guests at their wedding. Originally called Bombonieres they were given by French and Italian aristocracy in expensive fine porcelain or precious metal boxes to present five candies representing fertility, health, wealth, happiness and longevity. Even the sugar coating to the sweet almonds from Jordan was expensive so only the rich and famous gave their guest such expensive presents as mementoes. Originally favors were given not just for weddings but at other celebrations too. Favors were given at anniversaries such as birthdays or baptism parties. Giving favors by tradition has varied with the country. In Spain for instance orange blossom is used while in the Netherlands “bridal sugar” uses the traditional five Jordan Almonds. The way a favour is presented varies too, today the favour is used at the table place to enhance the setting decoration. Although some favors are given out by hand in exchange for a wedding gift.

In spite of the many occasions the wedding is still the main event where favors are used and have come to mean thank you for sharing our wedding with us. Favors of course are not always sweets or candies, there are many practical items used as favors some very important, some less so it is to say “Thank you for sharing our day with us” that makes the favour so significant whatever the cost.

Every couple aspires to have their wedding as special and as memorable as possible and the number of offerings for favors has expanded to include all manner of things. One of the newer arrivals on the wedding favour scene is the use of a personalised perfume as a memorable favour. It is said “nothing evokes a memory like a scent” and the fragrance favour presented in a beautiful hand made Thai silk bag in the wedding theme colours is increasingly popular. No doubt the wedding favour offerings will continue to expand over the years and personal fragrances for the wedding will find their palace alongside the traditional candies.

PostHeaderIcon Wedding Hair Style Tips – Have That Great Look You Want On Your Big Day

Looking your best on your wedding day is of utmost importance. Your wedding day is one of the most important and photographed days of your life. On this special day you will let your friends and family share in the love you and your groom have for each other. Even the most attractive woman wants to look her best or maybe even different on her wedding day.

You should plan ahead with a professional to try different looks. If you decide to try something new on your special day you may live to regret it. However when planned ahead trying new make up and hairstyles can be beneficial if you find something you like.

So when planning your wedding, keep in mind that a professional can be costly so add it to your budget

Here are some tips to help choose what look you want to achieve on your wedding day.

1. When deciding on what makeup to wear it is safe to choose a more natural look. You don’t want to look fake or heavily painted in your pictures and when meeting and greeting your guests. Remember natural looking makeup looks great in pictures.

2. You will have additional stress from all of your wedding planning so the best thing for your skin would be to get a facial to help eliminate the stress and to cleanse and hydrate your skin.

3. You should plan enough time to prepare your hair. You may need at least 6 weeks before your wedding day to make changes to your hair. If changing your hair color or hair style you may need up to six months.

4. If you don’t have a hairdresser that you already use be sure to find one that is recommended by your friends and family. For your appointment bring pictures of your wedding dress, headpiece and hairstyles you may want to try. Be sure to share with your hairdresser what you might want to try a new hair color or style.

5. I can not express how important time is when choosing to have your hair permed or relaxed. If there is a chance that your hair can be damaged by what you choose to do be sure to discuss it with your hairdresser. Damaged hair does not look good in pictures and can be difficult to style. Just remember to must have enough time to undo something you don’t like.

6. Before coloring your hair make sure the color will compliment your skin tone and your eye color. You might choose to your a temporary color before going with a permanent color. Your hairdresser can give you the best guidance.

7.When deciding on a new hairstyle take the cut of your gown into consideration. If your gown tends to be more casual be sure to choose a hair style that is simple and not to busy. You should think about being comfortable .Having to fuss over your hair is the last thing you need to worry about on your special day.

8. Adding highlights to short hair will give you a more enhanced look. Deep conditioning your hair can help add shine. There are also many products that can help add shine. For that special touch you may choose to add a flower to your hair.

9. If the length of your hair is longer you may want to wear an updo for a more elegant look. You will have many things to think about and having your hair up is easier to maintain.

I hope this information will help you make your final decision when visiting with your hairdresser.

PostHeaderIcon How To Tell An Extraordinary Wedding Disc Jockey From Someone Who Could Ruin Your Wedding Reception

You have your band (around your finger), now it’s time to find your Connecticut Wedding disc jockey. You search the internet for “Connecticut Wedding disc jockey” and come up with a list of potential wedding disc jockey choices. Now, how do you wade through the rhetoric “Connecticut’s Most Requested DJ”, “The DJ of Choice”, “CT DJ of the Year” and figure out who is going to make your reception a raving success v. a floundering mess.

Here are some things to keep in mind as you look for your Connecticut Wedding disc jockey:

Check out their website. If it is poorly designed, lacks real information or just doesn’t appeal to your style – then they are probably not the right choice as your Connecticut Wedding disc jockey. You should discount any DJ that DOES NOT HAVE A WEBSITE. If they can’t be bothered to setup a website, then they probably can’t be bothered with the details of your wedding.

Look for pricing. If they do not list pricing on their website – they might be trying to hide something. Many Connecticut Wedding disc jockeys will quote different pricing from one client to the next. This is a sign of a poorly run business or of hidden charges that might haunt you down the line. Your Connecticut Wedding disc jockey should be upfront with their pricing and it should be printed/posted on their website and in the literature they mail you.

If you have specific music tastes – ask your Connecticut Wedding disc jockey to show you a list with that style music on it. Too many Connecticut Wedding disc jockeys have promised to cater to client’s musical tastes and then showed up on the day of the wedding to just play the same tired wedding music that you hear at every Connecticut wedding reception.

Ask to see photo’s of their equipment and setup. If they have large self-promoting signs as part of their setup – stay clear of this. What right does a Connecticut Wedding disc jockey have in promoting themselves at YOUR wedding?

Ask your disc jockey how much money they have invested in the equipment that they bring and setup at a typical wedding. At a recent Connecticut bridal show, one Connecticut Wedding disc jockey boasted about his new disc jockey setup. The main system was worth less than $500. A quality wireless microphone is worth more than $500 alone! If they have less than $5,000 in equipment (not including music value or backup equipment value) – they are entry level wedding entertainment at best. Quality Connecticut Wedding disc jockey equipment comes at a cost. Many professional Connecticut Wedding disc jockeys will have over $10,000 invested in their main system alone.

The bottom line – if your Connecticut Wedding disc jockey choice gives you any concern with regards to their professionalism, they you should keep shopping for your Connecticut Wedding disc jockey elsewhere. The difference between a $750 Connecticut Wedding disc jockey and a quality $1500 Connecticut Wedding disc jockey could mean the difference between guests gazing at their watches soon after dinner or your family and friends up and dancing the night away at your Connecticut wedding reception.

Themed Wedding Cakes

If you just go to your local bakery or even a small wedding cake shop you are likely to just find the standard wedding cake offerings or the traditional cake. However, if you really want to do a wedding cake makeover ask if they can do themed wedding cakes. There are a wide variety of options for a custom wedding cake and some of the ways that you can customize are listed below.

Decorations

If you are not sure about all of this and want to stick somewhat to tradtion then why not go for the traditional cake but add some flare to it through the decorations and frosting. Most wedding cake bakers can add a wide variety of different ornaments and decorations to the wedding cake to really make it stand out. Sure you can go with the traditional shaped cakes like the three tiered circle or even a tiered square cake but that does not mean you cant go a little crazy and get some interesting decorations put on it with unique frosting ideas. Try to pick up on the theme of the wedding as much as possible.

Sculpted Cakes

Now this is where a custom wedding cake baker really can show off their talents and the types of projects they often love to do. A baker who can do a sculpted cake might take a little work to find however once you find one you are only limited by your ideas. Do you want a big castle wedding cake? They can easily do this to make a fairy tale wedding cake. If you want a beach themed wedding cake why not get a picnic basket or a beautiful sand castle wedding cake. If you are contemplating getting a sculpted cake you can really have any three dimensional design that you can think of. Why not try a hamburger and fries for a fun and light hearted beach wedding cake. The sky is the limited once you get a sculpted cake.

Mini Cakes and Cup Cakes

Again if you dont quite feel ready to make the commitment to such a grand cake like above and want to keep a little bit on the traditional side yet with a flair of fun why not try a mini wedding cake or even cupcakes. These are fun because they are small individual serving sized cakes that your guests will love. If you are planning on having a small wedding it can be a lot of fun to create personalized mini wedding cakes for the guests.

Whatever you choose always keep in mind that there are options out there to customize, tweak, alter and change just about every factor of your wedding cake. Let you mind wander and have fun a bit and go for something a little different. Always make sure to plan ahead and leave enough time for the baker to do the extra job well. Otherwise you are all set to go with a fun and unique wedding cake that is a definite extreme makeover from the traditional three or five tiered wedding cake.

PostHeaderIcon Bridal Jewelry for the Choosy Bride

The selection of bridal jewelry you will wear for your wedding day is the decision that will pull your entire bridal look together. With so many different bridal jewelry designers available via the internet, the bride that is choosier will have no problems finding the right bridal jewelry to complete her look.

For many brides, tradition is the most important element to selecting their bridal jewelry. Some brides value their traditional ways that they will have their mother or grandmothers bridal jewelry re-strung or redesigned to match a more modern look they are wearing for their wedding day. Other traditional brides will wear pearls, because pearls are the most traditional jewelry worn by brides internationally for many years. Brides that love traditional bridal values, wear white or ivory pearls, making the pearl color easy to match to the traditional bridal gown. Pearls are beautiful on brides for their bridal jewelry. They pop with color that matches cohesively with the bridal gown. Pearls are the kind of bridal jewelry that are perfect for passing down to your daughter to wear for her wedding day as her bridal jewelry, that is if she wants to wear the traditional pearls you wore.

Brides looking for a more modern flair for their bridal jewelry are turning to the new swarovski crystal look that many bridal jewelry designers are sporting online. Incorporating swarovski crystal bridal jewelry makes the most sense for brides that want that modern look incorporated into their bridal jewelry look. Many of the new bridal gowns have crystal embellishments on their bodice and trim, and some are completely covered in crystals. That makes purchasing crystal bridal jewelry the best option for those brides. With bridal gown designers designing more gowns with crystal embellishments rather than pearl embellishments, bridal jewelry designers are designing and creating beautiful crystal bridal jewelry.

There is a third option for bridal jewelry for brides that want a little bit of the best of both worlds. Combination pearl and crystal bridal jewelry is the perfect choice for brides that love traditional pearls, but want that extra sparkle and flair that the swarovski crystal bridal jewelry gives. Combining pearls and crystals in your bridal jewelry is one of the most beautiful styles of bridal jewelry. Nothing is more elegant than a beautiful glowing bride in her with gown wearing gorgeous bridal jewelry that shines and gleams.

If you are unsure of the style or type of bridal jewelry you should wear for your wedding day to finish your bridal jewelry look, consider these few things. First, consider your style and type of bridal gown. If you have a plunging neckline in your bridal gown, choose bridal jewelry that accents that feature. Possibly use a y drop or pendant style bridal jewelry necklace. Second, consider the embellishments on your bridal gown. If you fell in love with a bridal gown that is covered in pearls, purchase pearl bridal jewelry. If you dress has crystals, wear crystal bridal jewelry to accent that gorgeous gown. Lastly, wear what you feel the most beautiful in. Your opinion of yourself and how you look on your wedding day is the most important. You’re the bride, you are the star of the show. So wear bridal jewelry that makes you feel like the star of the show, your show!

PostHeaderIcon Should I Have A Prenuptial Agreement Before We Get Married?

Well, that’s a good question! Only you can decide whether or not this will work for your particular circumstances.

Robert is engaged to Janet. They’re planning on getting married in a few months. Janet has several pieces of property, numerous investment accounts and is worth millions of dollars. She’s been dating Robert for almost five years prior to his proposal of marriage. She’s decided that she wants a prenuptial agreement prior to marrying Robert, but, is unsure how to tell him. Janet doesn’t want to hurt Robert’s feelings, but she knows that she should protect herself prior to marriage.

Ginger and William are getting married early next year. They’ve been dating for six months. William owns several businesses, properties and other investments. His net worth is two billion dollars.

He loves Ginger with all his heart and trusts her. William has told his attorney to start working on preparing a prenuptial agreement for him and Ginger. He has been trying to figure out how he’s going to tell Ginger about the prenup without upsetting her.

You say that you have assets such as property, retirement ,savings, and other investments that you would like to protect. You don’t want your assets to be part of the marital pie. You trust your future spouse but still want to protect the assets your have acquired before the marriage.

You’re just not sure how to discuss this subject with your future spouse without possibly offending them. Here are five tips on what you may want to tell your future spouse:

1. Your accountant is recommending that you keep your assets before the marriage separate. Blame it on your accountant!

2. If you have children from a prior relationship, you may want your children to have the assets you acquired before the marriage.

3. You just want to protect your assets prior to the marriage in case of future problems with the marriage.

4. Your assets before the marriage may be for a relative or beneficiary that you want to benefit from your assets.

5. You simply want the both of you to start fresh and develop your assets together as a newly married couple.

Don’t let the issue of a prenuptial agreement be a deflator to your relationship and create a level of distrust. Explain in detail to your future spouse the reason you would like a prenuptial agreement and everything between the two of you will probably work out in the end just fine.

If you decide that you want a prenuptial agreement with your future spouse, make sure you ease into discussing this subject. You know your future spouse’s feelings and emotions better than anyone else! You may even suggest that you both have a prenuptial agreement.
