So many gym memberships go to waste by spring.

Resolutions are often broken because they weren’t realistic to begin with, or were too drastic a change to adhere to. But new years are such a great opportunity to get a fresh start, especially after wrapping up big projects before the holidays in December. So if you can set realistic goals for yourself, now is the time to do so.

But from coordinating with venues, to cake tastings, to flowers, and the hundreds of dress fittings you need to go to (ok, maybe not hundreds), there’s just not enough time in the day for everything. If you’re a bride-to-be reading this, I’m sure you haven’t even had time to think about what happens to your online identity after you change your name. Such as your Twitter handle.
