My cousin is getting married and I have been invited to the bridal shower. I do not know his fiance that well and was wondering what would be a good gift to give. I know that they are going to Hawaii for a week for their honeymoon and was considering a gift basket with lotions, sunglasses, etc. Any other ideas?
They are not signed up with any registry. They live in the middle of nowhere and the nearest mall is over 200 miles away. The nearest Walmart is over 100.

I still have my ex-husband’s last name (it was easier to keep it). Everyone knows me by that last name. But I’m not sure how to do the invitations now that I’m getting remarried. I plan on dropping it after we’re married (duh). I just feel weird about having that last name on my wedding invites. Is there a way around this?
My fiance and I are paying for the wedding, so our names will be the only ones on the invitations.

My fiance and I are planning a July 08 honeymoon and would like to travel to Hawaii. We want a relaxed, laid back trip. Maybe some sightseeing but mostly hanging out on the beach and relaxing. Any ideas or websites would be greatly appreciated!

So… my fiance and I had this entire wedding planned, but both his family and my family are causing problems. So we’ve decided to just keep the negativity out and have a different kind of dream wedding. Now we want to get married in a castle in Europe, just the two of us! I liked what we had planned before, but what we had planned was really unrealistic due to his family and my family. I have no idea where to start to plan a destination wedding or an elopement. All I know is that we want to get married this December, and our vision for the wedding includes getting married in a European castle. We’d also like it to be somewhere that snows, but not too much. We aren’t really heart-set on that because that’ll be hard to control. Does anyone know where to start or have any ideas??? Anything would be appreciated, because we really are starting from scratch!!! Thanks so much!!!

I am getting married in September. My mother and bridesmaids are throwing my bridal shower and have requested a list of people to invite. I am not sure what the proper etiquette is when it comes to whom to invite. Do I still invite the people that live really far away who I know will not attend anyway? Do I invite the females on my fiance’s side that I dont really know that well? I already have all the females on both our sides of the family invited, but Im not sure what to do about non-relatives and those who live really far away (several states or more).

My fiance and I are considering having a destination wedding. We need some ideas of where to go, where would be cheapest? We also were thinking about taking a couple friends with us as our witnesses. Are there packages for taking more people with you? Also, we wanted to have a reception for our families, when do you have the reception with a destination wedding? Any advice could help! We have never done this before and dont have much money to work with.. Thanx!

So we just found out recently that my soon to be mother in law was planning on wearing a WHITE dress to the wedding, which is sheer/see through. She generally craves atention so I was thinking she was saying it just to get a reaction. However, she called my fiance this weekend to see if I had found her an appropite dress. Therefore, it had now fallen upon me to find something APPROPIATE for her to wear. Can anyone help me find sites with mother-in-law attire, or rules of mother in law ettiquette, like not wearing white, or see through, or etc. I know it’s a SUPER silly thing to be worried about clothing, but my fiance just doesn’t want to feel embarrassed about what she is wearing in the pictures and in front of the family, etc! Thank you very much!
I do know age wise she is a grown woman, however maturity wise is a different story! Thank you for all the help so far.

We were thinking of alternating wine bottle stoppers & candy boxes at each reception table. There are 10 people per table (so 5 of each favor). My fiance & I love wine, so we chose the bottle stoppers, however we want to offer something different for those who do not drink wine. The alternating favors would ultimately save us some money too. Would this violate any sort of etiquette rules? Would it be better to stick to just one favor?

My fiance and I are at a disagreement about the destination of the wedding. We were going to do it on the beach of Cape Cod but I’m thinking that the Dress Blues with the Sword detail would be too formal for an informal location, but he seems to think it’ll look nice. I just can’t get a picture for it, so if anyone has any pictures or examples of a USMC Beach wedding in Full Dress Uniforms, please let me know. Or if you know of anyone that did it, then let me know how it looked. Thank you very much.
