Freeee! Weeee!

Okay brides, has this ever happened to you? You come home at the end of the day and you are exhausted. You check the mail and the stack feels very thick. What could it be??? Then, you see this:

The new Martha Stewart Weddings magazine!? So what? Well first, this isn't any magazine...it's a wedding magazine. Even better, you didn't pay for it! That's right, Martha Stewart decided to send you a magazine for free! Wee!

This is what happened to me tonight, and I must say I'm very happy. Not sure how they got my name and address but I'll take it. I just spent the last hour relaxing on the couch with my love while flipping through each and every page of the new Spring 2011 issue. I saw some pretty good ideas, too! Usually, I don't find wedding magazines to be very helpful because the blog world is so ahead of the game. By the time the ideas get printed, I've already seen them! This issue, however, has some fresh material like cute bridesmaids' gift ideas, cute wedding favors, and examples of place and escort cards. 

Love these gift ideas! If I had a ton of cash my girls would totally be getting Michael Kors watches!

So, has this ever happened to you? Have you received any wedding-related freebies?! 

**** UPDATE:  Turns out the magazine was not a gift from Martha Stewart, it was a gift from my friend Heidi! Thank you Heidi for being so thoughtful and I will definitely think of you each and every time I see this magazine in the mailbox! I'm such a happy (and lucky) girl! ****
