Two ideas. First (and this one is ironic enough), try going for a while without the internet at home (or television, for that matter). My wife and I have been living without internet in our apartment for a little over a year, and while there are some things which are more difficult to do as a result (blogging, for example), all-in-all it really means we have a better family life. It’s just nice not to even be tempted into all of the distractions which can come from having the internet readily available to us. (Note: an aside result of this though is that I don’t normally have access to the internet over the weekend. Tonight is an odd night in that sense, because I actually had to go into work.)

Second, and totally unrelated piece of utterly random wedding advice (for those who have weddings in their futures): get your photographer (or another volunteer) to take several “panning” shots of your guests during the wedding and again during the reception. These pictures will come in handy months later when you sit down to write all the “thank-yous” for gifts and are trying to remember whether the person was actually at your wedding or not. Guest books help, but not everybody will “sign in,” and odds are that on such a momentous occasion you are not going to recall who was and wasn’t there.
