We’ve all been there – everyone you know gets engaged, married or pregnant in one six-month window and the announcements and invitations to bridal or baby showers hit you all at once. If you’ve ever felt at sea amongst a crowd of blissfully joyful friends, grab your copy of Holly Bourne’s How Do You Like Me Now or kickstart a comeback with this Top 10 from Tori Bailey.
Take your bestie as your date to the third wedding of the year and Drink All the Wine.
Dance to Lionel Richie’s All Night Long with said bestie like no one is watching, but look great doing it just the same.
If you’re getting a bit down on your body (don’t, you’re gorgeous!), draw a face on your stomach rolls for a laugh.
Drink a green smoothie to feel better about the wedding wine.
For a quick confidence boost, take a hot Instagram selfie and watch those likes pile up!
Buy engagement present for fifth girlfriend this year, and don’t think about why your long-term boyfriend hasn’t proposed yet.
Buy chocolate for yourself while engagement present shopping.
If you catch yourself wondering whether you can wear the same dress to 3 different weddings, buy new dress.
Watch 27 Dresses and thank god you haven’t had to be a bridesmaid this many times.
Don’t look at the clock when there’s cake mashed into your carpet, just think of all the ways you’re the Cool Aunt!
