Save The Date designs that people will hang on their fridges in perpetuity (+$250 Minted giveaway!)

We’ve been talking a lot lately about Save The Date cards… three things you need to include, when to send them, whether you need to do them at all. But what about the simple pleasures of gawking at some designs? That my friends I’m here to do today… and when we’re done, I have the details about how you could enter to win $300 from Minted.com toward ANY of these designs.

How can I make sure my wedding website won’t show up on Google?

For professional reasons, my sweetheart and I want to make sure that personal pictures, info, contact emails or numbers, etc. do not pop up when someone Googles our names. We want to make a wedding website to help guests with planning a trip to our location and for RSVPing, but we’re concerned about the possibility of the site showing up in searches.

I know some sites have a password-protection option. Will this be enough to keep people from finding the website through searches? If not, what else can we do to keep people from finding the site?

Color gradient dress: from purple to blue to green to yellow to HEAVEN

Remember this cake that I talked about last fall, driving people crazy by inventing the non-word “gradiated”? Well, if that cake was a dress, it would be this flabbergastingly gormendulous (MAKING UP WORDS!) dress that Laura wore to her wedding.

Newly-engaged secret: you don’t have to plan it all today!

We KNOW some of you just got engaged, and are now being bombarded with questions: When’s it happening? What setting are you picturing? What’s your theme? How can I help? Have you thought about decor? Can I get you in touch with my baker friend? Your friends and family are asking these questions because they’re excited for you, and want to give you the opportunity to share your own excitement.

When you get peppered with these questions your response, however, may not be excitement… it may be anxiety.
