One of my favorite wedding-planning tasks doesn't really feel like a "task" at all—researching honeymoon options! Just staring at the crystal-blue water and swim-up bars on my laptop screen is enough to put me in a zen-like happy place. My fiancé Corey and I haven't finalized our honeymoon destination, nor our hotel of choice (Cancun and Riviera Maya in Mexico are at the top of our lists). However, we definitely want to take the all-inclusive route after having an amazing first experience at the RIU in Cabo, San Lucas, which is where we stayed for my sister's wedding back in 2010. We loved not having to whip out our wallets during vacation. For those of you who have never been to an all-inclusive, I’ll describe the experience...
You end up paying significantly more per person upfront, but once you’re at the resort, all meals and drinks are covered (check your hotel's policy for any exclusions). Some hotels may offer amenities free of charge as well, which could include kayaking, snorkeling, and use of their gym facilities. The more extravagant indulgences (such as spa treatments and couples' massages) usually require an additional fee, but some properties offer a discount towards spa treatments if you book overnight stays or a suite.
Every girl should feel like a princess on her wedding day; why not make her feel like one at her bridal shower, too? In honor of the two upcoming modern twists on a classic and well-loved princess, Mirror Mirror on March 30 and Snow White and the Huntsman on June 1, we've planned a Snow White-themed shower!
Invitations are the perfect way to set the scene for any event. These Snow White-inspired invitations from My Little Pink Angel use the bright yellow, red, and blue that Snow White is known for, but they are also classy and mature.
Welcome your guests and get the party started with a fruity drink. Consider serving Snow White-approved Appletinis. Get the recipe from Bunkycooks.com.

Elaborate elopements—costing anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000—are on the rise, according to a new article in the New York Times. Couples are choosing to avoid hosting guests in favor of glorified photo shoots that capture just the two of them. Picture: fantasy settings (farmhouse, mountaintop ice skating rink, private riverboat), fairytale elements (setting off sparklers, hiring flower girls to carry lanterns), and even a miniature three-layer cake to top off the celebration. Of course, all this would not be possible without a small army of wedding pros, who are there to capture the entire spectacle; not for children and grandkids down the road, but for digital bragging rites, admittedly.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith isn't just a romantic action comedy — it's also the movie where Brangelina fell in love, making it perfect inspiration for Daphne and Chris's engagement photos.
