12 Things I Learned
Anti-Bridezilla: Honorable Mentions
I know what you're thinking - you have three months worth of blog posts, and a website with even more articles. How am I supposed to find anything? Well, you are in luck my friend! Today I will wrap up my blogging journey with what is known as a sneeze page. Despite the silly name I hope you find this summary to be helpful.
I am a firm believer in promoting others and sharing knowledge. I've compiled a list of my past blog posts and articles that revolve around recommendations. These posts include my kudos to other vendors.
- Pinterest - where brides can go for inspiration, or if they want to waste hours on end.
- I Heart Offbeat Bride - a fellow blogger, and anti-bridezilla extraordinaire. She is a good source for inspiration and comic relief. I promise you both of those will come in handy for you!
- Destination I Do Magazine Blog - a blog dedicated to all things destination wedding.
- My Custom Stamps Product Recommendation - one of the coolest and most affordable return address stamps. Sure to make your life easier.
- A Destination Bride's Best Friend - put thousands of brides in one room and what would you get? Most likely chaos. Put thousands of brides together in an online forum and it is pure genius!
- Oriental Trading - online event decor and supply heaven.
- Etsy - handmade heaven.
- Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa (Wedding Package) - a review of the wedding services offered at the Dreams resort
- Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa (Resort Review) - a review of the resort itself, great for those looking to honeymoon in Mexico!
Happy Planning,

Check out my Website
By now you should be familiar with me and this blog. I have grown to like Blogger and the
simplicity of it all. It only takes a
few minutes to format and publish each post.
Another feature I have found to be helpful is the fact that it is
connected to my Gmail account. This
makes it easy to work with Googlle AdSense and Google Analytics. If you have ever tried to open a Word
document on a Mac – you know how important compatibility can be.
All that aside, Blogger can only do so much. To fulfill the gaps, I created a similar web
site through a site called Webs. On my
website you can find more information than what is available on my blog. The additional features include a page that
includes a short biography, a page that explains the purpose of the site, my
contact information, a page for donations, my privacy policy, and finally
articles that are designed to provide a little more information than my typical
blog posts.
Because of the
advanced editing, formatting, and design options, Webs is more aesthetically
pleasing. Not only is my website easier
to look at, it is better organized and easier to read. The tone of my website matches my blog and
keeps the laid-back, non-formal tone.
Head on over to my website at http://antibridezilla.webs.com/
where you can find great content in a nice and pretty package. I hope you enjoy my site and I welcome any
feedback you may have!
Happy Planning,

Offbeat Bride Review
Today you will not find wedding planning advice, or any do-it-yourself tutorials, instead I will be reviewing a post found in another blog. This particular blog was one of my favorites throughout the planning process, and I could always count on the site to lift my spirits, or bring me back down to planet Earth.
The blog I am referring to, is of course, Offbeat Bride - a blog who urges you to "Altar Your Thinking." The title of the blog post I will be reviewing is, "The unplugged wedding: couples tell guests to put down their devices." The author, Ariel Meadow Stallings also happens to be the inventor, creator, wedding extraordinaire behind the Offbeat Bride.
As you probably could have guessed, the post discusses the complications that can come with guests glued to their mobile phones. I like that Ariel discussed both ends of the spectrum and was not suggesting brides simply do as she said. She made it clear to readers that she understands technology can be helpful for those brides on a budget, and that it is ultimately up to the bride and groom to decide how they wish to handle the new tech-crazy generation.
I think there are pros and cons to banning devices from your wedding. One on hand, I could see why brides would be anti-technology because I do have wedding photos where each one of my guests is holding up their phone or camera to take a picture of us. I also had amateur photographers at my wedding who seemed to interfere with the photographer that we paid to shoot our wedding. But, on the other hand, our guests and the amateur photographers both captured some really great moments that our photographers missed, or weren't able to capture because of the multiple flashes. We also have been guilty of using our phones at other people's wedding so it would be hard to tell our guests to put them away.
Ultimately, it's your day and guests should respect your wishes, whatever they may be!
