Google Simplifies Wedding Planning

From June Hoffman of Megasound

Goggle is making it easier to plan your wedding with their helpful, on-line tools. I know that I've used "Google Docs" and Google's "Picasa Web Albums" for many applications and have found them very user friendly.

I have not had the chance yet to try their "Google Sites" or their "Picnik" application. After reading more about them on the Google Wedding site, I did see where Indiana brides and grooms would be able to focus their wedding planning in one spot and not have to learn so many new programs.

Anna Post at the Monogram Shoppe

Generations of brides have relied on the Emily Post name for wedding etiquette advice for everything from engagement parties and wedding invitations to bridal shower and gift registries. Anna Post is well acquainted with the dilemmas faced by today's brides, grooms, families and wedding guests. In addition to writing wedding etiquette columns in Inside Weddings magazine, St. Louis Bride magazine and Charlotte Weddings magazine, she is also the wedding etiquette expert for Brides.com.

"Many couples seek etiquette advice for the first time in their lives as they begin to plan a wedding," says Post. How do you word a wedding invitation? How do you talk to parents and in-laws about finances? The questions are endless, but Anna Post provides advice for couples who want their weddings to be expressions of graciousness, generosity, and style.

Anna has authored Emily Post's Wedding Parties and Do I Have to Wear White? Those among other Emily Post books will be available for signing.
