Remember the old days when a groom’s wedding involvement consisted of renting a tux, having a bachelor party, and showing up on the wedding day to smile for photos? Luckily for all of you brides out there, those days are over.

It’s no secret that grooms today are getting more and more involved with the planning of their wedding. TheManRegistry.com gives those grooms an outlet to register for gifts, research their wedding responsibilities, and buy groomsmen gifts.

Our industry-first groom’s wedding registry offers couples a chance to register for the wedding gifts that are more geared towards the guy. We offer thousands of products in categories such as tools, outdoors, bar, grill, and sports-themed gear. Our content section features how-to guides on topics ranging from buying the perfect ring to planning the honeymoon to writing vows. We give the groom the tools to make his wedding planning experience as painless as possible. Furthermore, we post weekly entries on our blog that are written by experts on the bride’s side of the wedding (including the inside scoop from www.MissNowMrs.com). These entries give grooms a look at wedding planning through the eyes of a woman.

So, what does this all mean for you brides out there? We firmly believe that an involved and active groom makes for a much more peaceful and enjoyable wedding planning experience for the bride.

Have you been wondering what to do with your wedding gown?  Should you preserve your gown for future generations or will it collect dust for decades only to be discarded?  The Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation has a fantastic way for you to make sure that your dress continues to help dreams come true. 

You can donate your gown to Brides Against Breast Cancer!  This fund-raising extension of the foundation sells donated bridal gowns (new and used) at a series of 32 shows nationwide.  The proceeds are used to grant wishes, including memory-making events, for metastatic breast cancer patients, while continuing to support, educate and increase resource awareness.

If you are interested in the Making Memories Foundation and the Brides Against Breast Cancer fund raiser please check out their website: www.makingmemories.org. MissNowMrs.com feels strongly about supporting breast cancer patients…and we now donate 5% of profits to the Making Memories foundation.

We’re so excited to receive national bridal magazine coverage!  You can read all about our name-change service on page 184 of the Fall issue under the letter “Y” for Your New Last Name!

It’s a little crazy, but Virginia changes their driver’s license form once again!  This will be the second time this form has changed since January of 2007.  Changes to a driver’s license form may seem like an irrelevant fact, but it may very well impact you.  If you purchased a name-change kit or CD and are planning on using the Virginia driver’s license form in them, you are probably wasting your time. Unfortunately, books and kits are printed in bulk and cannot be updated until all of the supply is used and a new edition is printed.

The MissNowMrs app and online name-change service has the advantage of being able to immediately update forms and directions as state and government offices make changes.  Once a new form is issued our service is updated and our customers receive the benefit of the new form instantly.  Giving brides access to the latest Virginia driver’s license form is just a recent example of our dedication to Making New Beginnings Easier!

The number of marriage certificates that a person needs is very dependent on how and where they are changing their name.  The DMV, State Department, and Social Security offices all require a certified marriage certificate to process a name change, but they will return them.  Name change with many banks and creditors will require marriage certificates and they are not obligated to return the certificates.  The average number of marriage certificates a bride uses for a name change in the United States is three.
