The very first DIY project Mr. Lovebird and I undertook together was working on how to ask our groomsmen if they would honor us by being in our wedding party. I always liked the idea of personalized water bottles, like Mrs. Firefly and Mrs. Caterpillar did, so I bounced that idea off of him and said maybe we can do beer bottles instead. After scouring the net…

Selecting bridesmaids and groomsmen wasn’t as easy as we thought it’d be. I’m very close to my family and have many cousins as well as many friends I would consider for bridesmaids. Mr. C has a huge crew of high school and college friends that he’s very close to as well. I have two younger brothers and Mr. C has a younger sister. We decided not…

They being the groomsmen. And that my friends, is where I draw the line. I was fine with the cow costume and unitard for the engagement party. A little annoyed, but fine.

Now if they had mullets and “pedophile staches” (as they like to call them) to begin with, then that would be one thing. Mr. Strawberry and I would have known what we were getting…

Like most couples these days, we had a dickens of a time deciding how to thank our wedding party for all that they did to make our day so special, and for the friendship and love that they have given us over the years. It is so hard to sum that up in a couple of small gifts! Do you go with tried and true…

Mr. Lemon and I took different approaches to the bridal party gifts. I went and got all of my girls the exact same thing. He, on the other hand, went in search of something different for his guys.

For the girls:

Early on the Friday morning of our wedding weekend, Mr. Lemon will be getting ready for the rehearsal here:

You may not live in Los Angeles, but I’m sure you’ve seen your share of “Team Aniston/Jolie; Paris/Nicole; Nick/Jessica” shirts to last a lifetime. Well, if that’s the case, then please close your eyes and try your best to skip over my post for the rest of the day!

Long, long ago… back in those early days of the wedding plans, Mr. Lemon passed someone…

You guys loved Threadless when we blogged about them in the past, so we thought we’d let you know that they’re having a Summer Vacation sale where every t-shirt is $10 through June 3rd. 6 new and reprinted tees will also be added daily. I always get compliments on the shirts I picked up the last time they had a $10 sale, so I’m gonna…

Mr. Kiwi is in a wedding in June. Actually, we THINK he’s in a wedding in June. We went to dinner with the couple, and the bride-to-be told him, “The groomsmen are wearing black tuxes with red vests, okay?” Mr. Kiwi replied that it would be fine, and we let the conversation drop. Since this was the first I’ve heard about this wedding party, I…

Mr. Strawberry and I are having a dilemma of sorts in trying to pick groomsmen gifts. We had originally decided to get the guys custom bobble heads. We did a test run on one of the dolls and were less than pleased. They offered us a deal to redo it, but we are now a little wary in dropping so much money to do the…

We loved the cards JayMonkeee created for her wedding party, so we asked her to share them with weddingbee! Normally we’d link to the post in our new Blog Roundup feature, but her site is xanga locked (only people with xanga accounts can view it), so we’ve copied the post in its entirety.

I finally kicked myself in the arse (yes that is possible) and…

David’s Bridal has a cool new feature on their website to help you coordinate the wedding party. At Dress Your Wedding, you can create and dress caricatures in the likeness of everyone involved. It’s got different body shapes, skin tone, and hairstyles–which is ideal! It really gives you a good picture of what everyone will look like on the big day.

Uneven is ok… right? Yea, I am personally ok with it, but Mr. Emerald thinks that it will look “unbalanced.” He wants everyone to have a partner, heh heh. Surprisingly, I want 5 and he wants 6! I have always known that I would have 5 for sure: My sister (maid of honor), FI’s sister, and 3 of my closest girlfriends (one will be matron…

Previously I posted my thoughts for GM gifts — and they ended up being all food. So, here’s a list of non-food related GM gifts I have come up with:

You guys loved Threadless so much I thought I’d share another cool t-shirt site I stumbled upon today via Shirt Snob. I’m a total nostalgia buff so I love these tees from Nerdy Shirts!
