10 Must-Do Things For The Just Engaged Bride

January 8, 2014January 8, 2014 bridalpartytees Leave a comment

It’s engagement season and many lucky women now have a ring on their finger and someone to call their fiancé. When you say, “yes” to the proposal, one of the first things that will probably cross your mind is, “I have a wedding to plan!” But, before you jump into all the wedding details, there are a few just engaged details that need to be taken care of.

Below are 10 things a bride-to-be will want to consider doing after just getting engaged.

1) Take pictures and enjoy the moment

Once he drops to one knee you’ll be filled with emotion, so it’s important to enjoy the moment and collect those emotions. Relax by opening a bottle of champagne and snapping some pics with your new fiancé.

2) Share the news with your VIPs

Set aside some time to call those that are most important to you like your parents, grandparents, and close friends who just might be potential bridesmaids.

3) Update your Facebook relationship status

Once your VIPs have heard the news, it’s time to share the engagement on Facebook and update your relationship status.

4) Take care of the ring

If your ring doesn’t fit and is not insured, go back to the jewelry store and have your ring fitted and appraised.

5) Get a manicure

Everyone is going to want to see the ring, so treat yourself and get a manicure.

6) Create bride-to-be shirts

Show off the fact that you’re now engaged by customizing a just engaged or bride-to-be shirt that you can wear to the many wedding events that will soon be approaching!

7) Spend some time together

The engagement phase can sometimes fly by once the major wedding planning starts, so shortly after getting engaged, spend some time together by going on a trip or out for a romantic dinner.

8) Share your wedding Pinterest board

If you were hiding or simply didn’t tell your fiancé about the wedding board you’ve secretly been creating for the past couple of months, now is the time to share it with him so you both get a better idea of what you want for the wedding.

9) Check the wedding fund

Find out how much you both can and want to spend on the wedding and try to get an idea if you will have any outside help from parents.

10) Start thinking about the date and location

These are two of the biggest decisions you will have to make for the wedding, so put your ideas out there and see what works for the both of you. Once you choose a location and date, the major wedding planning can begin!

5 Ways to Ask Your Bridesmaids to be in the Wedding

January 2, 2014January 2, 2014 bridalpartytees Leave a comment

Once he has proposed and you have returned back to earth from being on cloud nine, it’s time to start assembling the wedding you have always dreamed of! So start creating those Pinterest wedding boards and begin taking notes of all the things you like. As the wedding begins to take shape, you’ll want to start making decisions on who will be a bridesmaid in your wedding. For some brides, choosing who will be a bridesmaid is the easiest part. The difficulty is coming up with a creative way to ask them to be a part of your big day. To help get things kick started, we have compiled five ways you can ask your bridesmaids to be in your wedding. One just might be the right fit for you!

1) Bottle of Wine

Does wine always seem to make an appearance when you have a get together with the girls you want to ask to be your bridesmaids? If so, consider giving each a bottle of wine with a tag on the bottle asking them to be in the wedding. Plus, after they say yes, you can open up the bottle to celebrate!

2) Handwritten Card

With email, text messaging and social media becoming the most popular way to communicate these days, receiving a handwritten note has a lot more meaning.

3) Custom Bridal Party Apparel

This is our favorite, of course! Customize bridesmaid shirts and a maid of honor shirt for the women you want to have standing up in your wedding. By giving them a bridal party shirt with their name on it, they will instantly be filled with excitement about being a part of your big day.

4) Sending Something Sweet

If you have baking talent, why not make something sweet like cookies or brownies? You can even decorate them with the question of, “Will you be my bridesmaid?” It will be as sweet as the sugary delight you baked.

5) Ask the Group in Person

There’s nothing much better than spending some time with the girls you are closest to by going out for manicures or spending a fun day by the pool. This is the perfect time to ask all of them in person to be your bridesmaids.

How are you or how did you ask your bridesmaids to be in your wedding?

TREND: Not Engaged, But Setting a Wedding Date

December 27, 2013December 27, 2013 bridalpartytees Leave a comment

Who says you have to wait until you have a ring on your finger to set a wedding date? If you are in a relationship with someone and you both have discussed the possibility of getting married someday, why not set a wedding date and work toward being married on that day? If you set the date far enough in the future, you will have plenty of time to start making wedding arrangements and to officially get engaged.

Getting a head start on the wedding details that you both agree on can’t be a bad thing, but it’s probably best to wait until you are officially engaged before you start putting down deposits and telling all your friends and family about the date. Yet, for a couple that wants to start making future plans, setting a wedding date and keeping that date to yourselves is a great way to stay on the same page for future plans! You could even set the date as your five or eight year anniversary of the day you started dating!

What do you think brides, is setting a date before you’re engaged a good idea?

What Does the Bride Say?

December 6, 2013December 6, 2013 bridalpartytees Leave a comment

By now most of you have probably heard the popular song, “what does the fox say?” that is sweeping the Internet. And as a result of its popularity, many spoofs of the song are popping up all over the place! We couldn’t help ourselves and had to put a clever spin on this well-liked song, so we created, what does the bride say? bridal shirts!

We didn’t just stop there though! We’ve added shirts for the groom, and bachelorette too! What makes these shirts so entertaining is that no one will know what the bride says until they read the back of her shirt. These designs will create a little suspense and a lot of excitement when you are celebrating before the big day!

If the saying on the back of the shirt isn’t quite what you were looking for and you have a different one you’d rather use, no problem! Just place the shirt in our design center and switch the “I do, I do, I do,” to something else like “diamonds, diamonds, diamonds!” Either way, you have a shirt that everyone will instantly connect to the trendy, what does the fox say song!

Still wondering what the fox says? If so, check out the video that is all the craze right now and while you’re listening, design your new what does the bride say? bridal shirt!

There’s a New Flower Girl in Town!

December 4, 2013December 6, 2013 bridalpartytees Leave a comment

Traditionally, the flower girl position is reserved for the youngest female member of the family, but don’t be so quick to hand over those flower petals to your 6-year-old niece quite yet!

We came across pictures of Lana and Michael’s wedding and just fell in love with their choice of flower girls, their grandmothers! The choice to have their grandmothers in the wedding as flower girls fit perfectly with their theme of family roots. So as you plan your wedding and are looking to fill the role of flower girl(s) for your big day, consider the ladies who are the foundation of your family tree too!

No matter whom you choose to be your sweet flower girl at the wedding, either option will draw the same “awes” and “how cute” comments from guests right before you walk down the aisle, which is always the biggest responsibility of all flower girls despite age.
