More for Guys

On: May 5th, 2010 at 3:37 pm | Number of Comments » 0

I know wedding websites are geared  towards women, so I love to showcase as many guy-friendly ones as I can find. I think we may have found the man’s version of The Knot.

Groupon

There are many daily deal sites out there, but my current favorite is Groupon. Go to the website, choose your closest Groupon neighborhood (Seattle and Tacoma are currently Washington’s two), and check out the deal. You can also sign up for the daily email. They have discounts on restaurants and entertainment like you wouldn’t believe. [...]


Groom Power

One of the side effects of a bride-driven business is that sometimes the groom gets forgotten. I know of some grooms that are happy with smaller roles in weddings, but that doesn’t always apply to every guy out there. But where do these involved guys go for advice? Let’s face it, 99 percent of the [...]


Farmers Market: Icing on the Cake

On: September 15th, 2008 at 2:45 pm | Number of Comments » 0

Okay, so this is a slight cheater post. I say slight because I have blogged about this gal before, but it was way back in December when I had one reader…myself. So my second stop on the Bellingham Farmers Market tour brought me back to my favorite cupcake lady (and I say favorite because she’s [...]


Bellingham Farmers Market

On: May 25th, 2008 at 11:30 am | Number of Comments » 0

The Bellingham Farmers Market is my absolute favorite market to visit, and it’s open for eight months out of the year. So, for those four months it’s closed, I get to wait patiently anxiously. My Saturdays are pretty full these days, so it wasn’t until last weekend that we were able to go. And when we [...]


Local Boards on Weddingbee

On: May 12th, 2008 at 10:37 pm | Number of Comments » 0

There is a reigning champion when it comes to Seattle-area local boards. Sure Project Wedding has a few Seattle posters, and I’m sure there are a few boards out there I’m not aware of, but mostly…it’s been The Knot. I’ve recently jumped back on that board because my usual wedding haunt had no local feature. Today, [...]


Etsy Handmade Weddings

I’m often amazed at the chain reactions that lead me places. I was searching for Seattle wedding websites and found Junebug Weddings, which had a link to Weddingbee on their blogroll, which had brides blogging about something called Etsy. Curiosity and a few clicks later, I found out what the buzz was all about. My first [...]


Snopes Weddings

One of my favorite websites for dispelling urban myths and legends is Snopes. It seems to cover every subject from Disney to AOL (no you won’t get money for forwarding this), so I guess it should be no surprise that there’s a section of it’s main page devoted to weddings.
If you’re looking for true urban [...]


Weddingbee Wiki

As if there weren’t enough reasons to love Weddingbee, they’ve gone and added a new feature. May I present the Weddingbee Wiki.
For those who are new to it, a wiki (originally wikiwiki, but you know…we like to save time) is….in a nutshell…a free, online encyclopedia that readers can edit. Some are broad encompassing all topics and some are [...]


Man with a Wedding Plan

I’m always on the lookout for a great wedding series. Today I stumbled across Man With a Wedding Plan, a blog series written by Arts & Life intern, Jesse. He’s a guy whose fiancée is living overseas, and he has to plan his Toronto-area wedding in five months, and of course, with a limited budget.
Posts so far include tuxedos, invitations [...]
