Wedding Blog

A lot of people my and Mr. Blueberry’s age know about Facebook–an online community that started at the university level, but has now expanded to allow everyone–sort of like Myspace. One thing I really like about Facebook is their group/event options–you can create an event, which can be anything from a club meeting to a house party; or you can create a group, which can…

Last Tuesday I went to a party for WeddingWire, which is a new nationwide wedding planning website launching here from the DC area. The party was at CafÆ’© Asia, which is a really modern sushi restaurant/bar downtown. I got a chance to meet the founders, who are the same guys that founded Blackboard (remember that from college?), plus the rest of their staff, some local…

Recently I discovered the convenience of clicking on someone’s name when they comment on weddingbee, and seeing where it takes you. Sometimes it’s their knot bio and sometimes a personal website. I’ve noticed so many of you have wedding websites (we have one too), and I’ve loved checking them out and seeing the pictures of your planning! Also, it is fun to put a face…

For those of you actively planning your honeymoon, be sure to check out http://www.kayak.com/. This site is your all-in-one vacation trip planner, which I found especially helpful for finding the best bang for my buck when purchasing airline tickets.

When you conduct a search using the days and locations you’ll be flying to and from, Kayak searches hundreds of airline sites and other discount sites to…

For all the SoCal brides out there, check out labridezilla.com. A former LA knottie started it as a place for vendor reviews from real brides to be gathered in one spot. The interface isn’t the prettiest as it’s message-board style, but overall it is pretty easy to use. I personally have used it to gather potential vendors as well as narrow down my very long…

Bargainist is a new site that features coupons, sales, and freebies. Some good deals featured on there now include:

• 15% off Ann Taylor Loft purchases online
• 25% off Claire’s Accessories in stores (great place to buy jewelry and gifts for your flowergirl)
• 60% off gift certificates at Restaurant.com (good as gifts or for date night)

And many more. Happy Shopping!

Ihateweddings.com is so mean…just reading some of the horrible things that people were saying made me cry.

I can understand not being all *that* excited about someone’s wedding, and I even agree with some things they are saying on the site, but they just went waaay over the top :(.

Although I ended up paying for a wedding website, Wedding Announcer has many of the features of other wedding websites you have to pay an arm and a leg for. You get your own domain, (http://brideandgroom’snames.weddingannouncer.com/), it’s simple to use, you have several different layouts to choose from and did I mention it’s free? It’s the best “free” website I’ve seen as far as features…

Okay, here y’all go as promised! I probably left out a bunch so feel free to add to this list! I hope I didn’t make up any… like BS. hahaha.

I am currently on a site called Yelp! - it has reviews on businesses by real people like you and I. I use it a lot especially for wedding related things such as invitation/print shops and bakeries. So if you’re ever on it, go look at my reviews, add me or whatever else! I like it since it has a bunch of cities and you…

It is officially crunch time! There are about three weeks left until our wedding and we have a lot to do still. Mr. Grasshopper and I have been using Backpackit.com to help us keep track of our shared wedding to do list. Mr. Grasshopper is an obsessive organizer (we refer to him as Captain Schedule) and hates the idea of having multiple to-do lists emailed…
