Bridesmaids Diaries: Things To Do When Your Friends Just Get Engaged

So these aren't any super amazing tips or anything... but it might be something helpful and nice! You know this is going to be a great blog when I'm like "So these tips aren't super amazing" lol. There isn't a lot out there for when people just get engaged... and a lot of people don't have engagement parties or anything anymore... not sure if my friend is having one or not, she just happened to throw a party a day or 2 after she got engaged... so I wanted to do a few things.

First I was going to do this anyway... but I got her some fancy chocolates. These are a good gift for hosting parties, and I thought it would be something fun and a little different. Champagne is sort of the traditional gift... I thought somebody probably got them champagne already... so they might want some chocolates.

I also got an engagement cards... there were not many of these at the Hallmark store... so these might kind of be hard to find. There might be a blank inside type of card or stationary you could use... I got everyone at the party to sign the card because I thought that would be nice. Especially since there were so few engagement cards, it made sense to just have one for everyone. It was cute. It made them smile... so yeah.

And if you can offer any suggestions. If you've gotten married or if you were in a wedding and you can recommend a few things, that would probably be a great help. We were talking about venues and I knew of a restaurant that I thought they probably knew about too and I just said "ohh this place also has a wedding venue and it looked like people were having fun there. So yeah. Any little tips that you can tell them are helpful.

So yeah... that's pretty much it! Hope you guys liked this!

Byeee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...
