Wedding Planning

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!

Win 6 months of Skype Live Group Video Chat & a Web Cam!

Ready to win 6 months of Skype? Exciting news! We have a really fun and functional giveaway this month: a 6 month Skype voucher that allows the winner and up to 9 of her friends to communicate via video chat at the same time!! The folks at Skype are also including a FREETALK Buddy Cam, which plugs into your USB drive for instant video chat!

Think of all the fun things you can do and plan via live video chat with 9 of your gal pals. You can easily overcome the long-distance dilemma of working with a destination wedding coordinator or the bridal party planning with any of your bridesmaids who are out of state. Another fun idea is to plan a virtual happy hour with all of the friends that live too far away to regularly meet up.

With help from the ever-simple Skype, the Bride-to-be will forget about the knots in her stomach and get excited to tie the real one. Group video calling is part of Skype’s new premium subscription ($8.99/month), but only one person on the call has to pay for it (up to 10 people can be on one Skype video call at once).

Brides Can Use Skype to:

Try on her dress for the webcam with her bridesmaids watching from their own homes
Check out how her bridesmaids look in their frocks
Check in with her far-flung wedding planner
Get mom’s opinion on whether those flowers are tasteful or just tacky.
The bridal party can even get together via group video chat to plan the bachelorette party!

Newlyweds Can Use Skype to:

Show off their new house or apartment to out-of-town friends and family
Get instant input on furniture and decorating decisions
Stay connected with their long distance loved ones
Introduce new members of the family…be they pets or babies!!!

Are you ready to keep in touch with all of your long distance friends via live video chat instead of lame old email? Leave a comment on this, or our Skype Group Video Chat posts this month and you’ll be automatically entered to win. Tell us all about why you should win this amazing giveaway…are you trying to coordinate bridesmaids in 4 states or do you have family that you never get to see in person? The randomly selected contest winner will be announced on July31st!! If we don’t hear back from the winner within 2 weeks, we will randomly select a new winner to make sure someone ends up with this great goodie!

**If you tweet this giveaway by clicking the green retweet button below and then post a comment that you tweeted with your twitter handle, you’ll receive an additional contest entry!**

Webs 4 Weddings: The Complete Wedding Management Tool

The idea for Webs 4 Weddings came from Rusty and Beth Abston, a couple in love who wanted nothing more than to share every aspect of the biggest day of their lives with those they love most: their families and friends.

Their backgrounds and experience allowed them to design their very own wedding website where they did just that…shared the details of their story and wedding day. Once a friend (who happened to be an event planner) convinced them to mass produce their site, they came up with the complete management software called WedPro (version 3.1).

This unique software offers a management tool for the Bride and Groom, the Wedding Professional as well as the vendors in one location!

Webs 4 Weddings provides Wedding Professionals with a complete solution for all web, event and management needs. Some of the most popular features for Brides and Grooms include: a web site, Room Designer, Phone RSVP, Timelines, Checklist, Email Sync, BridalSites and a BridalStore!

Webs 4 Weddings and MissNowMrs.com are excited to announce that our Online Married Name-Change Service is now offered within their BridalStore. What more could you possibly need?!
