In my Free Time.


 As with most people who are addicted to the internet, I spend a “few minutes” every day checking in on various social sights, blogs and the like. Since getting engaged, the list of sights has grown tremendously.  The online wedding planning world is one of the most extensive internet research categories I’ve ever come across. I thought that the world travel sphere was huge, but weddings have taken the cake, literally. You can spend entire days reading blogs and checking out examples of every single wedding detail you can possibly imagine, including cakes:  cake toppers, cake cutting utensils, who cuts the cake, the pros and cons of cake face smashing, what flavors, what bakeries to use, which frosting is the best for whatever weather, what style will match your wedding attire, etc. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

Trying to keep it all in perspective is key when searching through the plethora of amazing online wedding sights. I have narrowed my search down to a few blogs that I have found the most useful and entertaining.
The first and foremost one is called Wedding Bee. For any bride (or groom for that matter) who has gotten married in the last few years, this site should be well known. The blog is updated dozens of  times a day by “bees”: recently engaged women, as well as recently married women who share their wedding planning journey with the rest of the universe. Their ideas and inspiration have led me to consider a lot of things about my wedding that I never would have thought of. The idea of our invitations comes from a crafty “bee” who blogged step by step picture instructions. Amazing. Along with blogposts about everything from what to get your bridesmaids, to the wording of your save-the-date to spa treatments, the site also has message boards where everyone can contribute and get answers.
If there are any girls out there with a ring on their finger, or hope to have a ring on their finger, or who just LOVE weddings, check out this sight. You won’t be disappointed.
