Today I’m going in for a fitting for my gown and my bridesmaids are suppose to be there for their fittings too, but one of them called me and she’s sick, so she’ll have to have her’s done later. So that’s got me in a tizzy. After the fittings I have to check on caterers for the food and our of course, our wedding cake. I’ve been running around ragged for what seems like a decade trying to find everything I need for my ceremony and reception, and I’m just about ran out.

   My sister suggested I try online shopping for all of my wedding accessories and supplies. I’ve never really been a fan of online shopping before, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to try it out.  Or at least, give it a look. So I did, and I was really surprised. They have a lot of really nice wedding and reception items to choose from. There are even discounts on some of the accessories and wedding favors. I started checking out everything they had to offer, and low and behold there they were: gifts for groomsmen. There was some pretty awesome gifts in there for groomsmen and the best man.  There are even some nice little things for his Dad and mine.  So, I sat down with my fiance and we went through it all together.  There were some great mugs we thought about giving them, then we ran across super looking T-shirt transfers for the best man and groomsman. Now that he has so much to choose from, he can’t make up his mind.  We did decide on gifts for our Dads though. I know they will love what we got them and they will get some use out of them. There was so many wedding accessories, gifts and other wonderful items to look at. I found the perfect gifts for my bridesmaids, maid of honor and our moms. I also found the perfect cake topper that really suits our personalities, and I know everyone will get a kick out of. It’s a little whimsical, but it’s really the perfect topper for us. Even my fiance agrees with me on that one.

   So, after checking all of this out, I’ve gotten almost everything I need for my ceremony and reception. From flower girl basket to crystal champagne flutes for our traditional toast to the bride and groom. After putting a lot of thought into it, my fiance actually made a decision on what he’s going to do about the wedding groomsmen gifts. He’s decided on the glass mugs, but he was to have their names printed on each one. I think that’s a pretty neat idea, and knowing his friends like I do, those mugs will get plenty of use.    Well, my fiance has learned that picking out gifts isn’t all that hard, and I’ve learned that online shopping can make things a lot easier and more enjoyable.
