Should we mention our registry on invitations to our reception?

“My fiance and I are considering eloping, with then a small-scale party at our place when we get back. Is it still kosher to say on those invites that we’re registered?”

Fun with long line bras: A plus size round-up

One thing I have learned from this experience is that you need to be flexible with your size. Your bra size is only your bra size for normal bras. We all go to the store and pick out our favorite brand or style and don’t even question our sizes. In specialty bras, your bra size is just a starting point. I do recommend having a professional fitting if you haven’t had one done recently — you might be surprised (I know I was when I had it done). Don’t be afraid to size up and size down in both the cups and the bands. Every brand sizes differently! And if you are buying online make sure to double check the return policy!
