Tip of the Day: Load up your registry with spectacular gift items in a wide range of price points, from low ($10-$25) to high ($200+). That way, guests have plenty of options to choose from, whether they want to purchase a present individually or as a group. It's a great time to score dinnerware, flatware, kitchen gadgets, and other household appliances for less — check out last-minute holiday sales. Also, check back in early January to score holiday-related items at incredibly low prices.

Tip of the Day: You put a lot of thought and design brilliance into your wedding invitations, so put one on display at your wedding!

Tip of the Day: Keep kids entertained at the reception by giving them a blank book they can illustrate! Include a set of 'prompt' cards to spark their imagination; for example, they can draw a picture of the bride and groom, a picture of the cake, and a picture of themselves at the party. Their scribbles will serve as sweet keepsakes.

Also, one kid-friendly activity you should consider skipping is a scavenger hunt. Elegant cocktail parties have the potential to become chaotic when children are grabbing cocktail napkins off the bar or digging through landscaping to find a pinecone just to cross items off the search list.
Plus, find out how to word your wedding invitation if children aren't invited.

1. Iconic Minimalist
A solitaire setting or one with graduated side stones adorning the center diamond is beautiful without being too fussy. These types of rings often play off the 1960s-era Mod fashion, which has always had an alluring appeal.
