CalamityKate posted:Can we talk shoes? I found an awesome pair of strappy heels to wear with my dress, but the problem is that I am horrible at heels. Check out YouTube and online for instructions. You may even be able to find classes. The wearing the shoes suggestion is a good one, but don't overdo it as it may seriously hurt your feet. Remember to walk heel-to-toe, and take smaller steps than you otherwise would. And don't fight the hip sway--that's what the heels are for! BUT, if you are not seeing vast improvement closer to the actual wedding date, you should find a pair of shorter heels or cute flats to substitute in case of emergency (or maybe just wear the wedges you were planning on wearing). Heels are great <em>if</em> you can pull them off. If you can't they will backfire and create the opposite of what you want. If you are tottering and unbalanced and are risking breaking an ankle, then abandon the whole idea and wear what will enable you to walk down the aisle with grace and poise.

I think I am missing that gene or something. I am already planning to change into wedge sandals for the reception/dancing, but does anyone have any hints to reduce the pain during the ceremony and pictures? I bought those little gel stickums for the ball of the foot, but if any tall shoe pros want to chime in, please do!

Why is handwriting thank-you notes not an option? ----- My brother and his wife had a "rainbows and pirates" themed wedding. The invitation had a cartoon monkey on it and a drawing of them riding a dinosaur. If they decided you showed up not dressed silly enough they wanted you to wear a silly hat and they banned polo shirts. Monkeycheese indeed. I ended up missing my flight and thus the wedding so alas, I didn't witness this.
