With Thanksgiving in front of us and Christmas right around the corner, this time of year can become stressful for those dealing with fitting in to a new family.  I’ve heard way too many times that you aren’t just marrying your spouse at your wedding–your marrying their whole family!  Here are some links to help you deal with hosting or visiting the in-laws during the holidays:

-Associated Content offers this helpful article on hosting your parents or in-laws for Thanksgiving dinner.  Among them, make sure to include recipes from both sides of the family in your dinner so that they both feel equally honored.

-eHow.com has some steps for coping with meddling in-laws.  Remember, as hard as it may be, it’s always better to be the bigger person.  Respond accordingly!

-Distract your fellow family members with gifts!  Reader’s Digest has a list of gift ideas for the in-laws on their blog.

-Yahoo has a list of survival tips for the holidays.  At least one of these is sure to work.  If not, check out author Dina Koutas Poch’s book”I Heart My In-Laws…” for even more guidance.

-Finally, a personal tip: before you head out or have people over, make sure you and your significant other are on the same page.  You have to be able to support one another.  Isn’t that what marriage is all about?

You’ve gathered together your guest list, picked the date and time and word of your impending nuptials has begun to spread.  Suddenly, the questions are pouring in.  What is the dress code? How did you meet?  What will you be serving?  Where are you registered?

Instead of handling all of these requests one by one, why not obtain your very own, personalized wedding website to share with your guests?  Most sites allow you to add photos, music, your own theme, and even offer a guest book for people to sign.  To help you find the perfect placement, we’ve compiled a list of the best sites offer wedding websites.

-Nearlyweds! offers a variety of templates and a unique website address, all for only $49 for two years.  You can try the site free for two weeks with no risk.  Best of all, choose from a variety of Wedding Paper Divas templates to match your invitations!

-Wedding Wire offers their own variety of wedding website, and best of all, they’re free!  With an Online RSVP tool, unlimited number of pages and up to 200MB of storage, you can’t go wrong.

-MyWedding.com offers all of the features you’re looking for, also for free!  As an added bonus, you’ll find Wedding Paper Divas templates with matching invitations offered through their site.  Enjoy a guest book, a unique online registry through Wishpot, Online RSVP and more.

Every soon-to-be-married couple quickly learns that all the hype is true–weddings really ARE as expensive as people say they are.  If you’re a savvy bride, you’ve already begun looking for ways to cut the cost of your wedding day and any activities leading up to it.  To help you out, Diva Dialogue has collected the best bargains online in to one money-saving post!

-  Bluefly.com now has an entire section of their website dedicated to wedding clothing.  In Wedding 2.0, you can find gorgeous designer dresses at discount prices according to your position in the wedding, or select “I’m Invited” to find the perfect outfit to wear to a wedding you’re attending.

So much attention is given to wedding planning during your engagement, that another important event is often pushed to the wayside until the last minute–the Rehearsal Dinner.  This dinner is special because it gives the engaged couple and their families a way to say thank you to all of those that are involved in the wedding.  To help make your Rehearsal Dinner every bit as fun and unique as your wedding, check out some of these links:

-iVillage offers some great ideas for unique rehearsal dinner locations and themes, many with money-saving tips!

-You probably already have your wedding gown picked out, but what about your rehearsal dinner outfit?!  You’ll still be front and center and will want to look great.  The Wedding Channel offers some great tips on the bride’s rehearsal dinner outfit.

-DearSugar offers a quick overview of Rehearsal Dinner Etiquette to clear up any questions you may have before planning the event.

-Although I fear them selling out before I am able to get one, I still have to pass on this amazing dress designer’s website.  Holly Stalder’s dresses will ensure that you shine at your rehearsal dinner.

-Last but most certainly not least, be sure you have an invitation that well represents both your personal style and the style of your rehearsal.  Wedding Paper Divas offers a wide range of designs…here is one of my favorites!

Planning a wedding isn’t easy, but trying to pick your way through the heaps of wedding etiquette, requirements and superstitions can make things even more difficult. On top of dealing with your own opinions plus those of both sets of parents, siblings and maybe even friends, you have to juggle a list of seemingly never-ending wedding rules!

To make things a little easier, we’ve compiled some great resources to help clarify what you really can and cannot do at your wedding. In my opinion, anything goes–it’s your special day! But to ease your mind even more, here are some great links:
