A New Year gives all of us a a chance to start fresh and make
resolutions. But for brides, planning for the future is something
you've been doing for months.
That's why we thought this particular holidays calls for a
planning-free newsletter that has nothing whatsoever to do with
stress, budgeting or details.
So throw your to-do lists out the
window and take a 'time out' with The Ring.

Top 10 Most Common Bridal Resolutions
|
- Plan an elegant, trendy, and seamlessly perfect wedding without
breaking a sweat OR my budget.
- Don't sweat the smalll stuff... Because there won't be any - if
I have anything to do with it.
- Ban with word 'bridezilla'. Globally.
- Join a gym and look like a supermodel in my bridal gown.
- Lay the ground rules for the bachelor party... Today.
- Make my in-laws love me by my wedding day.
- Ask the groom's opinion on everything and look sincerely
interested in every one of his responses.
- Don't cry when I walk down the aisle.
- Take the groom's breath away when I do.
- Be the best wife a husband could ever have.

table runners & charger plates

'sugar frosted' decor

Try giving yourself an emotional make-over by doing something
great for yourself or someone else. With thousands of options, here
are a few of my favourite ideas for making it count in '07.
- Turn off your email and the ringer on your phone at least one
evening a week
'Adopt' a foster child in Africa
($10-35/month)
Learn something new such as guitar, crocheting, horseback riding
Rent
An Inconvenient Truth
and then make a plan to reduce your own
CO2 Emissions
Print all the photos you've been storing in your computer for
the last two years
Give wedding guests donations in their name to a good cause (in
lieu of 'favours' - $2-10 per guest)
Make a scrapbook from photos of the people you love most
Donate to or volunteer at the local
Food Bank
($0 - Raid your cupboard)
Call a family member you've 'lost touch with' and tell them
everything in a long phone call
Make a list of reasons you love your groom and show it to him
