ADORN

Looking for name change advice or some tips for newlywed life? The MissNowMrs experts have created state-specific name change articles and checklists for you. We’ve chronicled our recommendations for how to travel while changing your name AND how to handle voting during the transition.

We’ve also compiled our best guidance for how to handle difficult sister in laws, holidays as newlyweds, the ever-annoying baby questions, and much more. Why? Because, while we are name change experts, we’re also newlywed wives, moms, and sisters.

We hope our name change advice articles help smooth your transition to your new name, and a whole new phase of life. Congratulations and best wishes from the entire MissNowMrs team!

Introducing the Sparkling Anniversary

We just created the Sparkling Anniversary! You’ve heard of the “Golden Anniversary” and hopefully we’ll all make it there and beyond with our beloved spouses, but what about your up-coming anniversary? All anniversaries should be celebrated, especially your first! You’ve made it through an entire year of newlywed challenges/changes and are still standing strong together…so celebrate!

Did you absolutely love wearing your wedding gown with gorgeous jewelry to match? Who says you can ONLY be a princess on your wedding day? If you’ve got a first anniversary (or any anniversary) coming up, it’s time to start planning Princess Round II.

Consider going out to dinner at the venue that hosted your Big Day or planning a night out on the town. Whatever you decide, you need to get dolled up! Select a dress from your closet (or even go shopping for a new one) and then pick out some jewelry…your first anniversary should be known as the “Sparkling Anniversary” instead of “Paper Anniversary”.

Need some help in the sparkle department? We can help! Leave a comment on this, or any of our jewelry posts on Mondays this month and you’ll be automatically entered to win our Stylish September Giveaway.

5 Fabulous Facts About Diamonds

Think you know all the facts about diamonds? Almost all women would happily admit that they love diamonds, but many of you might not know these 5 surprising facts about our “best friends”:

1. All diamonds are at least 990,000,000 years old. Many are 3,200,000,000 years old!
2. The largest engagement ring in history was given to Elizabeth Taylor by Michael Todd. Her amazing emerald-cut diamond ring weighed in at almost 30 carats.
3. The Victoria’s Secret’s Black Diamond Bra was set with 3,575 black diamonds, 117 round cut 1-carat diamonds and 2 black diamond drops. Talk about some serious bosom bling!
4. If you put a diamond on your tongue, your tongue will begin to cool because the diamond is the best conductor of heat (basically the diamond transfers the heat from your tongue into the air).
5. The first well-documented use of a diamond ring to signify engagement was by the Archduke Maximilian of Austria in 1477, upon his betrothal to Mary of Burgandy.

While you might not be holding your breath for a 30 carat ring or diamond brassier, you can still enter to win a free $250 jewelry rental from our friends at ADORN.
