Are you the kind of bride who will punish your bridesmaids for failing to attend your fourth shower? Wreak havoc with your maid-of-honor for choosing the steak entree for dinner when you were pushing for the cheaper chicken dish? Rage against your husband-to-be for falling asleep during the seventh hour of rearranging the reception seating chart? If so, you are officially a bridezilla. This behavior is every bride's given right and an excellent way to cope with pre-wedding stress.
Step1
Create a detailed checklist of tasks to complete on each of the 384 days between now and your wedding day. Sub-divide these tasks into categories, and then assign all of them to members of your bridal party. You are the bridezilla after all, and you need to rest before the big day.
Step2
Micromanage your maid-of-honor and bridesmaids. Call them at least once a week to check if they've completed the wedding tasks you've assigned them. Berate them incessantly if they haven't, and threaten to replace them with other friends or relatives.
Step3
Write the DJ you've hired an exact listing of the songs you want played at your wedding. Specify the order in which you want them played. Threaten a lawsuit if he deviates from the list.
Step4
Select hideous yet expensive dresses for the members of your bridal party, and immediately dismiss as ridiculous all complaints that arise. The bride doesn't need to be upstaged on her wedding day by a sexy attendant in a slinky bridesmaid gown.
Step5
Insist that all of your female relatives, all of your fiance's female relatives and each member of your bridal party attend each of your five wedding gown fittings. Encourage them to clap as you emerge from the dressing room, so you can practice your grand bridezilla entrance into the reception hall.
Step6
Pick a fight with your fiance on the morning of your wedding. Even if he hasn't done something wrong yet, the day is young and he's bound to forget something he should have remembered.
Step7
Throw at least one tantrum during your wedding reception. As the evening wears on, guests might be tempted to overstay their welcome and run up the bar tab. A rowdy middle-of-the-dance-floor fight with your new husband should send them packing.

Colorful Colorado is quite possibly the best place for a destination wedding. While the Rocky Mountain National Park is the most famous park in the state, there are hundreds of other state and federal protected lands throughout the region.

How to Announce Your Engagement to Family and Friends
The moment you become engaged, you want to shout it from the rooftops. Well, here's a more effective and less dangerous way to do that!
Step1
Announce your engagement to the bride's parents first. Meet with them in person to ask for their blessing and talk about your plans.
Step2
Meet with the groom's parents next and discuss your future plans with them as well.
Step3
Tell the rest of the immediate family and close friends, including any children and former spouses if you've been married before.
Step4
If your parents, other family members or friends want to throw an engagement party for you, arrange the timing so that the party will occur just before any newspaper announcements you plan to make. You can also throw your own engagement party if you wish.
Step5
Be aware that it's traditional for the father of the bride-to-be to propose a toast to the couple during the engagement party; this serves as the formal announcement.
Step6
Write thank-you notes to the hosts of the party, and to anyone who has given you gifts, immediately after the party. (Even though gifts are not expected, some people may bring them.)
Step7
Make your newspaper announcement. Check with your local paper for the procedure. Also see "Submit a Wedding Announcement to a Newspaper," under Related eHows.
Step8
Announce your engagement on a wedding Web site, if you like. Follow their guidelines for submissions.
Step9
Be prepared for lots of direct mail from now on.
