I’ve Got The Bridesmaid Gifts, You Take Care Of The Guys

I love my fiance with all my heart but, sometimes, I just want to punch him out. I don’t know if it’s a man thing or it’s just him, but sometimes he can be so helpless. I’ve got so much to take care of, planning for this wedding and reception and he expects me to find gifts for the groomsmen, the best man and our Dads. What’s wrong with him? Is it really that difficult of a job? I’ll take care of my girls, you take care of your guys.

   I’ve got fittings for me and my bridesmaids, and my flower girl to take care of. Then I’m going to check out wedding cakes at some of the bakeries on my list, not to mention caterers.  My day is already full. All he has is the fittings and buying gifts. He should be able to handle that.

   There sure is a lot to planning a wedding.  Sometimes I think we’d be better off eloping, but I really want a big wedding with all of our family and friends. I guess I will probably end up helping him, after I take care of my flower girl, our Moms and the bridesmaid gifts. If I don’t they’ll probably end up with fast food gift certificates or something in that order. Besides, I’ve been checking out a lot of wedding items and accessories online and I’ve come across some pretty amazing gifts and favors. So maybe, I can at least give him some suggestions.

   I know I’ve found the décor I want to go with for the ceremony and I was thinking about possibly a reception at the beach.  I think a beach party reception would really be fantastic. We could have tiki torches everywhere, because I plan on this reception lasting a while. There are so many neat accessories to make a beach reception a really super event. There are even beach themed place card holders and wedding favors. Just all kinds of decorations to help pull this off. Not only that, there is also a selection of beach themed bridesmaid gift ideas too, that I think my girls might really like. So, it’s settled, the beach it is.

   When I told him my idea, he actually liked it.  He thought a reception by the water was a great idea. Our wedding will still be held in the church at 1:00 and the reception won’t start until about 3:00, so everyone will have time to go home and change into their comfortable beachwear. This is going to be so fantastic.

   Now I’ve got to send out the invitations, pick out the beach décor I want to use, check the rental on the reception tables, and I guess help him pick out gifts for the guys too. It shouldn’t be hard with all the choices I’ve found to choose from. There are some nice mugs or shot glasses the guys would probably like.  Maybe I’ll suggest that to him. I still have no clue as to what to get for the Dads and Moms, so I guess I’ll put that off until later, and give us a little time to think about it. That’s our parents, so those gifts have to be very special.

   So tonight we’re going to sit together and go over all the possibilities for groomsmen, best man, ring boy, flower girl, maid of honor, and the bridesmaids gift, and we’re not giving up until we have them all. I have a feeling it’s gonna be a long, long, evening.
