Write thank-you notes as the gifts come in.Yes, you're busy, but you can always carve out 10 minutes from your schedule to write a
thank-you note. So place your stationery box and a big sheet of stamps in the center of your desk and sit down to express
your gratitude within 48 hours of a gift coming in. If you wait, your note-writing list will quickly grow to a frightening
length, and it'll become that much more intimidating to tackle it. And if you let too much time pass before writing your
notes, the gift-giver might wonder if you received the present.

Bridesmaids or ClonesEvery good friend knows that along with the honor of being a bridesmaid comes the obligation to wear
a dress in a color and style that's not of her choosing. So your girls accept that, but it doesn't mean they'll
submit happily if you force them to wear identical shoes, jewelry, wraps, and hairstyles. In order to have a great time at
your wedding, your bridesmaids need to feel attractive too -- something that's impossible if you've micromanaged their
looks down to the lipstick hue. (Plus, buying a bunch of matching accessories they may never wear again gets expensive.) And
your bridesmaids will look even better if you give them leeway to let their individual styles shine through the blush-colored
chiffon gowns you've dressed them in. So let them choose their hair and makeup styles; give them more than one option
with accessories like shoes, jewelry, and cover-ups.
