I’m putting a lot of money and effort into the wedding itself, so I don’t have much left over to help her out, but she’s really having a bit of a breakdown between plans and her job…she only has one night off a week and I want to do something special for her that’s not too awkward or cheesy.

My idea is to have her over for a nice dinner (she’s vegetarian – meal ideas?!? I’m a pure carnivore and am kind of at a loss!) and let her borrow my bathroom for a luxurious bath in my claw footed tub she’s been lusting after and give her a facial and pedicure kit to kind of pamper herself while I stay at my mother in law’s house. My sister”s relocating from out of state and has been living at our mother’s house for months until the wedding so I figure just giving her free reign of my house to lounge around in her robe and watch television or whatever while I babysit her son elsewhere might be a nice treat for her.

I’m just curious what I should add to this – I know it seems kind of chintzy or cheesy but it’s a gift from the heart and I’m just looking at other ways to make it special for her, this simple night of no worries.

An amazing dessert…movie rental selections that will help her cry to relieve some of her stress…heck, even a bubble bath scent recommendation would be helpful. Any ideas whatsoever? She means a lot to me and I’d give her the moon if I had it, but like I said I’m kind of tapped out and need some down-home ideas.
