I'm not married, but it seems like ALL of my friends are doing the wedding/baby thing lately. I now consider myself an expert on wedding shower/baby shower games.
anyway...two tips I can give from watching all these festivities:
1. Make sure whereever you're going to live is set up and ready and clean BEFORE the wedding. You do not want to have to deal with unpacking after all that chaos. My friends came home from a honeymoon to Boxville. Spent a very stressed out week trying to find things.
2. WRITE THE DARN THANK YOU NOTES ASAP. One girl who I grew up with at my church didn't send them - for the wedding or the shower. She got married over 5 years ago and people are STILL talking about it. The little old church ladies bring it up all the time, even when it's not relevant. "Oh, I saw Mr. Smith the other day - you know he's at such-and-such Presbyterian now. His daughter never sent thankyou notes after her wedding!!!" And then they all sigh, and "tsk tsk tsk!" Trust me, if you don't do it you (and your poor mother) will never hear the end of it.
Do what my friend did: write the same note for everyone:
Dear _____: Thank you so much for the _________. It is really lovely/matches our new house/useful. We enjoyed seeing you at the wedding/We wish you could have been at the wedding but we were thinking of you. Thank you again and Merry Christmas.
Love, Mr. and Mrs. _____
