Ready or Knot

I'm not going to lie -- Theknot.com is about as addictive as Starbucks. And it's less expensive (as in, free). So obviously this broke bridesmaid was stirring up all sorts of creative juices for my sister's Knot.com page. It would need pictures, wedding specifics, funny anecdotes of how they met (let's just say it involves a bar, a cell phone and two states). Yes, with my plan, T's Knot page was going to be spectacular. And then T told me she had already signed up and her page was completed. This is what she came up with:

There are no photos. There are no funny anecdotes. The whole thing is brown. Sigh.

However, my single self has been looking through the many different pages on the website, and I have to say, this is really one-stop shopping for any Bride-to-be. The ladies at The Knot have thought of everything from picking out bands and venues to how to budget (and cakes, let's not forget the cakes). The message boards can be a mix of both helpful and downright entertaining-- think Bridezilla on crack...or Starbucks. Not that there's anything strange about that. Let's face it, every bride has a little Zilla in her.

Also, TheKnot.com has a function that easily allows couples to register all in one place. It even lets you pick out your "style profile," which more or less tells you if you're more Laura Ashley, Andy Warhol or completely decorating-dysfunctional (Kidding about the last one. It won't tell you that... but any good bridesmaid will).

Happy planning...
