The Wedding Ring and and Other Necessities
That Perfect Ring and More
If you don't have your rings yet, there are so many choices that you should at least discuss the type of rings you both want. Remember, they will be worn for many years. Please read our article on Wedding and Engagement Rings.
Once you have the date and location selected, you'll be considering your guest list. When you and your spouse-to-be have pared this down, but have not necessarily finalized it, you are ready to look at invitations. While electronic invitations are the rage for meetings and informal get togethers, a real tangible invitation is still customary for a wedding. Take a look at the invitations and announcements offered by InvitationBox (see below right). You should find something you like.
For Brides - At the time you are thinking about your wedding, you may want to see the simple way to take care of going from "Miss" to "Mrs", so look at the Name Change Kit from My Wedding Favors (at right) that we have suggested.
Thinking about Your Wedding Gown
Choosing your wedding gown is a very important part of preparing for your wedding. You may want this year's designer gown that you saw in a magazine ad or a vintage gown from an old movie or you may be planning to wear your grandmother's dress.
Please read our article Your Wedding Dress, which discusses the history and styles of wedding gowns, how to choose a style you like and what to look for when trying on your dress. The articles on Saving Money on a Gown and Used Wedding Gowns will help the budget concious bride select a new or once-worn gown at a great savings.
