Fabulous Gifts For The Bride

There are few things in life more wonderful than getting married. It just gives a good feeling to see two people in love starting out together, doesn't it?

Buying gifts for the wedding or engagement party is almost as fun as buying gifts for yourself, but wedding gifts don't have to break the bank. In fact, it's usually cheaper to buy the couple a something for their new home rather than giving them cash. So, if you want some great gift ideas (because the thought of giving them a toaster just makes you cringe …), read on. We've got some great ones.

For a Creative Gift

Well, that high-priced photographer is going to produce mounds of photographs, all of which will need a home. A photo album or funky, artistic frame is always a good choice for a wedding gift.

Or, why not think about getting the happy couple something to do together in their leisure time? Perhaps a picnic basket and set of picnic supplies, a doublewide hammock, or an exquisite wine gift basket.

For a Healthy Gift

If the newly married couple is into healthy or organic living, why not put together a gardening kit for them? Find some organic vegetable or flower seeds, and collect all the tools they'll need to garden together in the backyard.

You could also think about ordering them a gift basket full of organic foods. With all the stress of planning and pulling off a wedding, it might be nice to just relax one night and munch on some organic, tasty treats!

For Pure Decadence

Decadent gifts can be anything from the pure luxurious to the downright fun. With all the blenders and plates the couple is going to be getting, why not lighten things up and get them a basket full of games? Stock it up with things they can play together, everything from a deck of cards to Monopoly.

If you're thinking luxurious, well the sky is only limited by your imagination! What about a digital photo frame? One of these will allow them to upload all their wedding pictures. The screen changes every few seconds, so they always get to look at a new picture.

For the Time Honored Gift

What about an expensive journal and pen to record their wedding experience in? It would definitely be an adventure to look back on 10 years from now and read about how Aunt Marge got drunk at the reception and lead the conga line for over an hour!

Or, what about some personalized stationary to write thank you notes on?

For a Technology Gift

If you're thinking luxurious and techie, why not purchase a new home theater system? There's almost nothing better than curling up to a good movie with theater surround-sound (although it might be hard to resist keeping this one for yourself …).

If that's a little out of budget, what about nice photo printer to print all their wedding pictures out on? If you're feeling a bit on the luxurious side, you can also stock them up on ink refills as well.

With a little advance planning and creativity, you can go above and beyond the toaster and blender cliché of wedding gifts. You'll give a gift that's unexpected, appreciated, and certainly memorable!

How To Write Tender Proposal

Hi Guys, have you looked at your girlfriend and you just knew, that this is the one you want to be

your wife?

But you either you don't know how or you want to make this a special and romantic occasion.

Well..........Let me tell you that you are not the only one.

You could propose with the old stand-by where you get down on your knees, hold up the ring as

a great offering and hope that the stone is big enough to catch her eye.

How much better and nicer it would be if you could come up with a way of asking the same

question, but in a way so romantic that she just can't turn you down.

What would you say if told you that there is a way of doing things differently.

Ironically, most of the disappointed fiancees said that their beloved had spent over $300 on the

marriage proposal (not counting the ring.) So it is obvious that limos and fancy dinners aren't

what makes a proposal romantic and memorable. You want it to be amazingly special.

Something she will want to share with everyone.

In a recent survey, over 80% of women who were proposed to said that the marriage proposal

was "less romantic" than they had hoped for.

Of course, you want to be known as this great "romantic" guy who went like way out to make this

an unforgettable proposal. (one she will tell all her girl friends, and we all know about the saying:

telephone, television, and tell-a-woman)

You'll be the talk of the town, and your friends will be asking you to help them to make a fancy

proposal for them.

Here are some things to think about:
* The worst or best time of day to get engaged

This would depend on whether you or your love are a morning or night person.

* What four words you should NEVER say during a proposal

Do you know that there are words you should not use?

I know, I know, you can think of a few words you won't use, but maybe, just maybe.........

there are a few more that you haven't thought of.
* Where are three places you should NEVER pop the question

I bet you hadn't thought about this, did you? I can hear you say: "There are places that I should

not be when I propose?"

Yes, as strange as it sounds, these places exist.

AND.........
* A little known secret into getting an engagement ring

(one that is usually far nicer than one you could afford to buy)

If your "engagement ring budget" is a little low.........

Wouldn't you like to know how to buy a engagement ring at a better price?

* What are the 5 things you MUST do if you want to videotape your proposal

Something else to know, get a buddy or a professional to tape?
* How to get your proposal aired on television

And get television exposure too? Why not? Are the two of you not worth it?
* How to make $500 from your proposal - it's pretty simple really

What? you say I can make money proposing to my love? Well...........yeah!

So, if your were thinking to rent a paddle boat and propose on the water,

Popping the question on the Eiffel tower,

Having a waiter bring the ring out on a platter.

in a hot air balloon, or with a fortune cookie.

These have all been done before, you have to do it "your way".

Those ideas are nice, but certainly nothing worth writing a book about

So, if you are thinking of getting engaged, you probably want to do it right.

You want it to be amazingly special. Something she will want to share with everyone.
