Simple Valentines Day DIY Wedding Favors

Being a bridesmaid is a great honor but for grown-ups, being the bridesmaid, or worse, the maid of honor for one of your best friends can be an experience that you may not want to repeat too often or ever again!

Here are 15 things I learned as a bridesmaid veteran of five weddings:

1. Remember it’s not your day! It is the bride's special day and she is undoubtedly the center of attention so be prepared to cater to her every whim. After all, as bridesmaid you only have to deal with Little Miss’ tantrums and spats for a few rehearsals and the day of the wedding, after that the poor guy she’s marrying has to deal with her for life;

2. While you may not be the center of attention as far as the wedding is concerned, you can be assured of being the center of attention for lots of guys! I should know because I met my husband when I was a bridesmaid for the 4^th time but be careful if you are thinking this will be a great way to find a catch because:

3. Never, and I mean NEVER! Let a guy open the door and escort you if he calls you “Sugar”, “Babe” or worse, “Sugarbabe!”;

4. Do not allow yourself to be convinced to wear grapevine as a hair accessory. Yes you can still find it, on a remote hillside in South Carolina on property owned by a gun toting hillbilly aged 72 and related to Jed Clampett as both his brother and second uncle;

5. Wearing woven grapevine leaves marks, both physical and emotional, which last for up to 6 months, if you have the choice, wear a crown of thorns instead;

6. Glue guns are a great invention for people who want to stick things and are not worried about whether they will explode or not – just remember that glue guns do overheat and will overheat because they are going to get a lot of use and as bridesmaid, you have to pitch in;

7. Brides want everyone to wear matching ear rings so be prepared to get your ears pierced if you haven’t already done so;

8. If you are asked to write a speech, do not retell the time when your “Best Friend”, who is getting married, was violently ill after drinking too much and ended the evening clinging to the toilet, swearing the world was ending and she couldn’t let it go because there was an earthquake (we lived in Ohio at the time);

9. If you are serious about catching the bouquet when the bride throws it, make sure you are wearing an outfit which will hold you in, as falling out of the top of your dress while stretching for the flowers can be very revealing resulting in more guys calling you “Sugar”, “Babe” etc;

10. Do NOT get drunk at the reception!;

11. As the saying goes, "Always a bridesmaid - never a bride!” is simply not true, I’m happily married to my husband whom I met when serving as a bridesmaid at wedding number 4;

12. Try very hard to convince the bride to allow the bridesmaids to get out of their bridesmaid dresses and into something practical as soon as possible in the evening. If she won’t budge on this, make sure the bridesmaids dresses are comfortable and practical if you have to spend the day in them;

13. The same goes for shoes!’

14. Buying gifts for the bride and groom should really be about getting them things they will enjoy – people buy the most boring and unoriginal gifts which cost a fortune but the ones that make an impression are the ones where a lot of thought has gone into them;

15. Being a bridesmaid for five friends I am not interested in repeating the experience unless by new baby girl really wants me to do it for her !

I am somebody who does not believe in marriage. How many marriages end in divorce? Too many! This is one of the reasons why I do not personally believe in getting married. The latest reports on the long term success of marriage confirmed that one in two marriages end in divorce and that the majority of these divorces are granted within the first ten years of married life. Well that’s a good stat isn’t it? Makes you want to walk up the isle next week doesn’t it? Call me a cynic if you want to, I prefer to see myself as a realist.

As you will no doubt tell as you read through this article I am in no way involved in the “marriage industry”; I am actually involved in stuttering therapy, I also work on a project offering a professional DVD replication service as well as a one that offers cheap calls.

A few months ago I attended a wedding; it was that of one of my oldest friends. The day arrived and I drove my family to the hotel where the ceremony was going to take place. Boy was it a lavish affair! There were violinists playing as you entered the venue and the whole event was, in my opinion, far too over done. The “happy couple” must have spent a small fortune and I know for a fact that they did not receive any “outside help” from either set of parents.

In November, only two months after the wedding, the groom was made redundant from a company where he had worked for the last nine years. He does not possess the most impressive of cv’s and is still out of work today.

He has told me that the wedding has put him into debt in rather a big way but that it would have been OK if he had not have lost of job. Well we are in a credit crunch; we are in a recession; that is what happens I’m afraid.

It is time to get our heads out of the clouds and into the real world. Getting yourself in debt just so that your girlfriend can be a princess for the day is madness, this is 2009 and times are quite tough out there “in the real world”.

Marriage reconciliation – the first approach.

More often than not, the approach to a counselor for assistance to help repair a relationship is made by only one of the partners. It is a established fact that in most cases this is the woman rather than the man.
 
In the early stages of consultation with a guidance counselor it is normal practice for them to deal exclusively with the party who made the initial approach. This is considered the most effective way of handling the situation as that particular party has already demonstrated a [desire wish] to reconcile. An experienced counselor will have dealt with most marriage issues and will formulate a plan to help guide you through the reconciliation process. You may however feel that you are capable of dealing with your break up in your own way without any additional help.

Be absolutely honest with yourself.

The first step to reconciling your marital relationship is to consider just what went wrong in your marriage and then decide whether or not it’s possible to repair the relationship. You must be painstakingly honest with yourself about the reason(s) for the marital difficulties which led to the   reason for your marriage breaking up. If you just evade the issue and are not prepared to air, or admit to yourself, the reasons for your troubled relationship, (and the part that you may have played in it) then if you do manage to reconcile, the chances are that you will just head down the same path as previously with no hope for a permanent reconciliation.  

There may possibly be some negative aspects concerning your demeanor, dress, attitude, stubbornness and so on that you can work on correcting. If you are able to identify with any of these or any other negative traits then it would be in your best interests to work on changing them for the betterment of your relationship.

Approaching your ex spouse.

This can be quite difficult. However there are ways of approaching this:

• The casual approach at a place that you are aware that your ex frequents.
• Take the initiative and write, text or email, asking for a chat to just catch up over a coffee etc.
• Have a friend act as an intermediary to set up a meeting to discuss matters of mutual interest.

It is advantageous at the initial meeting with your ex to simply keep the conversation super cool. Cover superficial subjects only, unless you are drawn into a deeper conversation by your ex–then go with the flow. He/she may be just as interested as you are to save your marriage. If the subject of your reconciliation doesn’t arise then just lay the ground work for a further meeting at which you can subtly raise the subject of a second try into the conversation.

Get my guy back! Is that the only thing in your head these days? I know what you are going through and I feel for you. It’s not all bad though as there is hope. There’s always hope.

What can I do to get my husband back?

Take a step back and have some time away from your husband. Being totally apart will help, trust me. You can use the time to get control of your emotions.

You can also use the time to plan your next move. Are you going to just sit there and hope your husband comes back? Or will you be a go getter and go get your husband back?

The time spent apart also works in a different way. Your husband will start to notice your absence. By not being in your husband’s face you are at least in his thoughts. This is good.

What shouldn’t I be doing?

Do you need reminding what you shouldn’t be doing? You should not be pestering your ex in any way. Calling or texting too many times. Following or (please no) stalking will end any hope of getting them back.

Avoid drink and drugs as they will make things worse. Drink is a natural depressant so be warned. You could easily drive your husband further away with any of the above tactics. You may even wind up in trouble with the police.

You need to make sure you don’t wreck what chances you do have. Why bother making plans only to ruin them with stupid (possibly dangerous) behaviour. You could easily see your plans in tatters.

Split up recently? Looking to discover how to win him back? You should cut off any contact you are having with your ex. I agree it does sound a bit backwards but it works, trust me.

I guess you are going through an enormous amount of emotional upheaval at the moment. Chances are you are on an emotional roller coaster. Cutting contact with your ex will help you in more than one way.

You firstly get a bit of personal healing time. A chance to heal those battered emotions. Important in two ways, your wellbeing. And also important to the plan to get him back.

You may well blow any remaining chance of getting your ex back if you aren’t under emotional control. Being in control allows you to navigate through any potential explosive situation. This shows him how mature you are, when he will be expecting the opposite.

The secong good thing about having zero contact is that he will most definitely notice you are not there. You might be thinking that he finished it so why miss you now? You were a constant in your ex’s life for a while. Not being there now will force him to wonder about you.

If he notices you aren’t around you are at least in your ex’s thoughts. And being in their thoughts is way better than not being in them. When you pester and plead with him he has negative thoughts about you. When he thinks of your absence the thought patterns are generally good.

How long do you stop the contact for? Good question and it will be different for everyone. Only my opinion but I’d say no more than 3 weeks, maybe 4. Don’t give him enough time to move on.

What do you do next then, after you get your head into shape? Again a good question. You get yourself a plan of action. Something that holds your hand every step of the way.

You have 2 options really. You can try to win him back using your own charm. I wish you all the luck in the world if you go down that road. Or go with a successful system put together by someone else.

It’s hard to believe but there are a few systems like that on the net. Methods that have worked over and over for hundreds if not thousands of people. Systems that guide you through each and every step.

When I first discoved a system like this I honestly thought it was total BS. Well, my skeptisism was blown out of the water. Twelve thousand people can’t be wrong, right? That’s how many people have had success with the top selling system.

So, your options now are…go into it blind and try to learn how to win him back yourself. Or take the route that the smart people take and borrow the wisdom of some successful people. I don’t know about you but I know I’m taking the second route.

Do not fret over the right sort of clothes to wear when you are attending a wedding. Most of us exert a lot of effort to look our best when going out, and going to a wedding is not any different from that.  Just try to look your most radiant self and you will be ok.

The Clues Are on the Invitation

How do you decide what type of clothing to wear to a wedding?  You can gage an idea from the style of the wedding invitation. If the wedding invitation you have in your hand is embossed and engraved and talks in a very formal language, it only goes to show that the wedding is a formal event.  If the card is more informal and casual you can wear something a little less stiff.

Daytime or Evening?

The time of the wedding will also help you to gage what kind of clothing you should wear to the wedding. It spells a huge difference if the wedding is going to be held during the daytime or at night.

Formal attire is less appropriate at a day time wedding. Light colours should be worn as black can be a bit too sombre in the day.

For an evening wedding, you should wear something a little more formal depending on whether it is black-tie or not. Choose a cocktail dress or smart skirt/top combo if black-tie is optional. Children should be dressed smartly if they are invited. Boutique stores and the internet retail some pretty girls party dresses.

If you are invited to a black tie event, you should wear a ball gown. You can only pull off a formal look if you are comfortable in it. You need to be able to dance in your outfit.

When it comes to choosing the proper wedding attire, there are literally thousands of dresses and suits that you can choose from when you shop. Just do not commit the cardinal sin and wear white!

Going through a break up? Desperate to know how to win her back? Start with cutting off all contact with your ex. It sounds stupid I know. But it really does get results.

I’ll assume you are a bit cut up about the recent split. No doubt your emotions are in total turmoil. Well, cutting off all contact with her will do two things.

You firstly get a bit of personal healing time. To get your emotions under control. It’s very important to both your health and also crucial to the plan to win her back.

Going into anything in an unbalanced state will certainly ruin any chances you have. It’s important to be in control. Any tense situation can be overcome when you are in control. This demonstrates just how mature you can be.

The secong good thing about having zero contact is that she will most definitely notice you are not there. You might be thinking that she finished it so why miss you now? It’s a fact that she will notice you aren’t there anymore.

If she thinks about you because you aren’t there, she is still thinking about you. It’s better to be in your ex’s thoughts in any way possible than not at all. When you pester and plead with her she has negative thoughts about you. When she thinks of your absence the thought patterns are generally good.

Ok I’ll stay away, but for how long? There’s no set period of time. It’ll differ for each situation. I suppose 3 or 4 weeks is long enough as you don’t really want her to get into the routine of a new single life.

So you’ve got your head into gear, you’re ready to make a move to get her back. How do you go about it? Great question. I’d advise you to put together an action plan. Something you can follow from the first step to the last step.

Your options are… Use your own skill to win her back. I wish you all the luck in the world if you go down that road. Or go with a successful system put together by someone else.

Believe it or not there are a handful of systems and methods out there on the net. Systems that boast thousand of succesful testimonials. Systems that guide you through each and every step.

I was definitely skeptical when I first saw a system like this. It came as a shock, but it didn’t take long for me to start believing. One of the very popular ones has reunited over six thousands couples. So there must be something to it!

You now have a choice, go for it yourself and use your own skills. Or borrow the knowledge of others who have been there, done it & written the book! I know what I would do (actually it’s what I did).
