Well, my friends, let me introduce you to the weddings list at alltop.com. It’s chock full of incredible wedding-related blogs that are sure to inspire, educate, and entertain you.

Alltop is a site that’s owned by the ever-awesome Guy Kawasaki (author, founding Mac evangelist, marketing guru). In addition to weddings, there are a number of other categories to keep you in touch with the best of the blogging world.

Both Liene from Blue Orchid Designs and photographer Christine Tremoulet alerted me that DIY Bride was on the alltops list. I’m humbled to be included in such amazing company.

This week I am delighted to bring you 2 ultra-fabulous resources: Blue Orchid Design’s 30 Days To Plan a Wedding blog feature and MyRegistry.com.

For those of you opting to plan a wedding in a short amount of time, you must visit Blue Orchid Designs month-long blog feature “30 Days To Plan a Wedding”. From December 01 – 31 Liene is showing you, step-by-step, how to create an amazing wedding in a month. That’s right. A month. Forget those 12+ month timelines and endless engagements. You can do it!

If spending endless hours at big box stores trying to find mass-produced tchotchkes and linens for your registry isn’t your idea of fun, do check out MyRegistry.com. It’s a free service that allows you to set up an online gift registry for items from any store you want, even if they don’t offer a gift registry. Just think of the possibilities! Etsy… Trunkt… that little boutique you saw in Paris on your last visit. Very cool!

What a cool way to connect crafters and brides.

The details from Brooklyn Bride:

So here’s how it works:

  • Send an email to me at brooklynbride [at] gmail [dot] com with Holiday Card Swap in the subject line by November 21 [day before Thanksgiving]. Include your name, address, email address, and website/blog address [if you have one].
  • By December 1, I will have emailed you the names and addresses of up to 5 people to send cards to.
  • Your cards can be store bought or handmade [think Gocco, glitter, photoshop, cut + paste, sewing, etc....]
  • Send out your cards by December 15 at the latest!
  • Wait patiently by your mailbox!

Happy swapping!!

[this swap WILL be open to international readers, so pay attention to extra postage needs]
