This is something I hadn't even thought of yet - great ideas so far!

I just read through this whole thread and got so excited I ordered it right away on amazon! I think I'm one of those skinny fat girls, so I'm hoping this will help me tone up and lose about 10 lbs.

My confession: I want to throw FI's Xbox out the window into the snow. He gets so stressed out playing Madden that it stresses ME out just being in the same room with him!

1. I don't know what your plans were, but are they something that can be rescheduled? Even if it's not on the actual holiday, it would still be nice to have a special night out some other time.

FI and I did this last night (he has to work tonight) He invited my sister and her FI to dinner with us (without my knowing, so it was a nice little surprise), and then we went to a comedy show as well. It was fun, but that is as romantic as FI gets

Bumping to find out more about those of you who jumped the broom at your ceremony. I mentioned somewhere else on the boards that my FI is black and I am white, so I'm pondering this whole jumping the broom thing. I think it would be a nice way to incorporate his culture, but I don't know if it would be almost offensive or something! He's a guy so he's like, What's the big deal? Umm, how about I risk offending your entire family?! So, if anyone has advice or input on this subject, I'm all ears! TIA!

These are all great ideas. I think even something as simple as a heartfelt, handwritten letter on nice stationery would make a lovely gift. I'm thinking about doing this for my own mother.

It's comforting to hear that many have had good experiences, but unnerving to know that it affects everyone so differently! I don't know what to think!

I spy Vistaprint RSVP cards! Looks great!

I love it!!
