A Big Day Survival Guide

Taming a bridezilla just got a little easier with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) wedding day survival guide. Yep, the organization made a handy dandy guide to help survive the long-winded speeches, nagging brides and drunken guests.

The CDC's Wedding Day Survival Guide is a little over the top, kinda like the agency's Zombie Preparedness Guide. Suggesting to plan for the Big day as you would a natural disaster, "Being in the throes of wedding season, many of us here at CDC realized that planning for a wedding isn’t that much different from planning for a disaster. Just remember: Get a Kit, Make a Plan, and Be Informed."


There is some great advice to take away from the guide, like packing a survival kit and prepare for anything. I've heard of emergency kits which include, pins, band aids (for klutzy girls like myself), chocolate and important documents. Maybe comparing it to a tornado is a little extreme but the guide makes definitely made me think of how to be better prepared for that big day.

What do you think of the CDC's Wedding Day Survival Guide?

Be There Or Else...

Save the Dates are they really neccessary? Post cards, magnents, traditional invites and even Evites, so many choices!

Miss Duckling's DIY Save the Dates :  wedding diy save the dates stationery tutorial 12 1
oops! I can't remember where I nabbed this photo!


So cute, but for a budget bride are they worth the added cost?

We have some friends and family far and wide their attendence would mean the world and for that reason I may consider sending those few Save the Dates (you know...when the time comes...).

Did you send out save the dates?
What kind did you choose?
