Any amazing, affordable ideas to help my sister relieve some of her wedding stress?

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.

Wedding Present help?

I need to buy a present for a wedding.
I have know the Bride longest of all my friends, but I only know the groom from a few house parties. (He’s lovely!).

I have already used some of the most fitting and unique present ideas for the Bride’s birthday’s. Besides, they are all exclusive to her own hobbies and passions.

They have asked that we gift money towards honeymoon spends,(They already have a housefull of stuff!) and I’ll do that too, but another group of friends are getting them something between them.

I’m not going in on this (for some complex reasons), so I need and idea.

What can I do that is special for newlyweds, that will LAST and isn’t gimmicky…or for the already decorated and stocked house?

Art is off the list too, they aren’t big on sculptures and paintings exept the Cornish watercolour I got for the bride’s 18th.

I’m running out of time!

Can anybody help me find free wedding catalogues for wedding planning?

I am starting to plan my wedding even though it is a year and a half away, a while ago (when i was not engaged) I had come across a wedding catalog in my mail, it was sent to the wrong address so I returned it to the rightful owner because well obviously I had no need for it. It was a catalog to buy everything in BULK for your wedding like decorations and little gifts you give out at the end to your glass wear and invitations. I was wondering if anybody could help me find a catalog that is sort of like that so I can start buying things right now I would like to buy them in large amounts so it will be easier and possibly cheaper since I am planning this wedding by myself. :)

What shall I do in this tough situation? I am desperate pls help me?

I got married when I was 18 years old to this man that i am still married to and I am 27 yrs old now. I have 9 years old son who is recently diagnosed with severe language delay and asperegers. I have bachelor degree in mathematics. I was working for financial company for about seven months and once my child was diagnosed then it was time for me to quit and look after the child. I did bit of saving during that seven months.

Even tho it is not much of saving but for seven months it is a lot. My husband is senior manager in a top marketing firm. He come from a very wealthy family in comparison to mine. I had to move to sweden to be living with him. His family never liked me because they wanted him to marry someone from their class. I am not bothered whether people like me or hate. Our 9 years of marriage have been our of the toughest situations in my life. Bit of background about my family: My dad and mom both are disabled but not severe…I have two sisters and 3 brothers.Among my siblings three of them have university degrees but none of them had proper day job for while. I am one of the youngest and the only married one. My family is from new york. Once my child was diagnosed I look for good schools in new york. Me and my husband agreed if we find right school in ny then we will take our child there and i will be there as well. The main reason was we couldnt find good schools in swedan and the ones we found had long waiting list.

My husband while we were married during that 9 years bought 5 houses for investment, and he opened his own marketing firm. I never ask him for any money not even fancy dresses or bags shoes(those are the typical women ask), the jewellery i have are the ones that he got me as gift during our wedding. All this investments on houses etc I thought was for us as family. Once our child was diagnosed he started telling me i dont really want to live with u anymore and I dont see why I should put my life in trouble, the child is sick and u take care of ur child. I have noticed huge change for the past 3 years.

Everytime he speaks he tells me I will divorce u. He became violent with me infront of my child since the age of 1 years old and many times I got injures that I went to the police(did not file for complaint) because he would beg me it will be damaging his career. At the end it went on to continue and still does.

My family on the other hand, do not like me. The reasons for disliking me is unknown to me but I was the most intelligent child and I never ever asked pocket money from my parents when i was younger while on the other hand my siblings were the opposite.

When I had my child i delivered the child no one came to visit me in the hospital, not even my family. The fact that my family are based in ny and i am in swedan( still they could come and visit). I went to ny just two months ago looking for schools. All I hear from my family is so how much saving do you have, how much money did u earn? all sorts of questions regarding money.

My mother then visited us in swedan and believe it or not my husband bought her 20 thousand dollars diamond. He didnt even tell me about it, she told me jamie bought be this diamonds. If I ask him pls get me dress or shoes per say he would answer no, u dont need it. I swear to God I dont have even proper clothes to wear but I was fine with it until I realised that I am treated like ****. At this point in my life I don’t know what to do, I have no family to turn to and I have no one to even give me genuine advice.

Money was never important factor to me but I have realised I need money now because of my child. I dont know what to do and how to tackle the issue. Just to add his business is failing. He spent nearly a lot of money on that business and never bothered to go to that office at all. All he does is go out with his friends in the evening driving new cars and I am in the house with my son.

He never answers my call when he is out with his friends and he comes home around 11 pm after I put my child to bed. I wish I could kill myself cause I see no help. I dont have anyone to turn to for anything. All this people I was good to them my whole life turned their back on me. The only reason I want to move forward and my driving force is my child. What shall I do pls? Pls dont tell me to hire a lawyer cause if i go that way then he can hire the best lawyers in the country and i will end up with zero. PLS HELP ME
