Wedding planning 101
Hello to any planning brides out there...
This is one of those rare moments when I'll actually post about something I saw online.
I think by now everyone has heard of The Knot Wedding Website. Yes, they have a nice site - and the magazine is ok. But actually a far more interesting and informative website is The Wedding Channel. Don't get me wrong - The Knot is a very good site, but it's geared towards a more youthful metro audience. They've got a magazine to sell on a rack, so they don't give all their goodies away. I don't get the same feeling about the wedding channel. They have downloadable planning forms (PDFs) and all the same tools as The Knot (planner, web page, guest list tool, registry) BUT the one thing I love about wedding channel is the information found on the site. There seem to be more photos and more idea generators on their site than The Knot.
Also - if you are planning music for the ceremony or reception and want to listen to the entire song without it getting cut off, but don't want to download a bunch of stuff - try going to Espew.com. Mind that you don't download anything, just play. They allow you to search by either song or artist, and most of the songs I have researched are played in their entirety.
And now a brief rant:
What is up with Wal-Mart's in-store registry? I have 3 days to walk around in the store with a gun or my registry will be deleted? Come on! Give me a little longer than 3 days! I went in on a Friday over a long holiday and apparently lost my registry information on Tuesday A.M! GRR.
Oh yes, one more thing:
David's Bridal David's Bridalhas TERRIBLE service. If you are thinking about ordering a bunch of bridesmaid dresses or a mom's dress and plan on having the alterations done at David's, be prepared for a long aggrivating wait. I ordered in April (mom's dress) and I STILL don't have a dress for my mom! The alteration and ordering people have messed up 3 times on the dress, (We can't get our money back. All sales final. ) I am about ready to walk. The really bad thing is, we placed the order on David's credit card and who knows what kind of "satisfaction guarantee" policy goes along with the card co. It's not like I can dispute it with Discover Card and they beat up the merchant...
Be wise. Pay with a credit card on all your purchases.
Good luck!
