Problem: Article: Look around the edges and corners of the contact paper for any parts that may have lifted up slightly. Grasp the edge or corner and slowly tug the contact paper upward to start peeling it from the glass. Don't worry if the contact paper breaks or if it's stuck in some areas and just focus on getting rid of what you can. It's best not to use heat to remove contact paper from windows and other glass surfaces. This is because if there is a large temperature difference, the glass could break. Attach a single-edge razor blade to a scraper and gently scrape around the edges of the remaining contact paper. When there is enough of the contact paper lifted to hold, use your fingernails to peel the contact paper away from the glass. You can find single-edge razor blades at home improvement and paint stores. Wear gloves and pour some adhesive remover onto a cleaning sponge. Rub the adhesive remover over the sticky residue and wait for 2-3 minutes to let it start working. Then use a clean cloth or the scraper again to easily wipe or scrape away the sticky residue. Choose an adhesive remover that's designed for non-absorbent surfaces like glass. It's likely that the glass won't be looking its best after the contact paper! Get a microfiber cloth and dampen it very lightly with warm water. Wipe the glass with the cloth and then use a dry cloth to remove any excess water. Alternatively, you can use paper towels.
Summary: Peel off as much contact paper with your fingernails as possible. Use a single-edge razor blade to remove the rest of the contact paper. Use adhesive remover to remove the residue from the glass. Clean the glass with a damp microfiber cloth to make it clear and shiny.

Problem: Article: There are various websites that will help you design and order custom beer or liquor bottle labels. You can also design, print, and cut your own. Affix these directly to individual beer bottles with sticker paper, or hang more traditional cards around the necks of your groomsmen' favorite liquor bottles. Either present these gifts in person or send them in the mail. They can be even be used to break the news, or as a follow-up to an in-person conversation. For instance, you might customize labels that look like name tags with text like "Groomsman Tucker." Part of accepting the gig as your groomsman is agreeing to wear whatever outfit you want them to wear at your wedding. If you so happen to have style-minded friends, they may appreciate a customized something-or-other that will fit with the suits you've chosen. For instance, get your buddies bow ties that reflect each of their individual styles. Get that wannabe lumberjack buddy a plaid bow tie and your alma mater's biggest fan a bow tie with the team mascot on it. While booze and a cigar are the traditional groomsman gifts, consider getting something a bit longer-lasting to include with your groomsman requests. For instance, a simple but classy tie clip or a lighter monogrammed a buddy's initials is something they'll likely keep for the rest of their lives. Cufflinks are a classic example, and can be tailored to each groomsman. For instance, have custom-made cuff links with your favorite picture of your buddy inset, or an inscription of an inside joke between the two of you. Getting down to brass tacks: it costs money to be a groomsman. Tux rental alone can be expensive, not to mention peripheral costs like a wedding gift, travel costs, and a potential bachelor party. In situations where you know cost may be a factor regarding someone's ability to be your groomsman, don't ignore the issue. If you have a friend that may not be able to afford being your groomsman but you'd like them to be, considering covering the cost yourself.
Summary: Make custom booze-themed labels. Give your groomsmen something to wear on your big day. Include a long-lasting customized gift. Acknowledge financial costs if necessary.

Problem: Article: If possible, meet where you won't be recognized. You don't want your parents, your relatives, community leaders, or your parents' friends to see you while you're out with your boyfriend. Meet when your parents think you're somewhere else, you could pretend to have a club meeting, or to be hanging out with a friend. You might even sneak out of the house at night. If you live in a city, you could meet almost anywhere: a big city park, a free museum, a scenic hill, or a little cafe in your favorite neighborhood. The same goes for the suburbs, although it might be harder to get around if you and your boyfriend don't have your own cars. If you live in a rural area, you might need to meet up outdoors. Don't hang out with your boyfriend in the park across the street from your house, or the local supermarket, or anywhere that your parents or their friends might run into you. When you go out with your boyfriend, your parents will probably want to know where you are. It may be best to bring a friend or two with you when you go out. That way, when they call you, you can just say "Oh, I'm with Amy," and then put Amy on the phone with them to verify that indeed, you are with her and not your boyfriend! This is a classic move, but you'll need to be very careful about your story to pull off. The basic idea: if you want to meet up with your boyfriend after hours or even stay over at his house, tell your parents that you are sleeping over at a friend's house. If your parents insist on meeting your friends, then you should use a good friend (who your parents have met) to corroborate your story. Tell your friend about your plan. If possible if you are completely certain that you can trust your friend's parents have your friend's parents agree to pretend that you're sleeping over. It helps if you name a friend whose house you've slept over at many times before. If your parents are suspicious, they might call your friend's parents to check out your story. Consider whether this is likely to happen. If so, then you may not want to risk it. Understand the risks: if you bring your boyfriend into your parents' space, then you are giving them a huge opportunity to find out about him. Wait for a time when they aren't home, a whole weekend is even better. If you sneak your boyfriend into your house while your parents are home, make sure that he has a secret way to enter and escape. Try to bring him in once your parents are asleep, and be extremely quiet so that they don't suspect anything. Keep the noise level down so you can listen for your parents voices or footsteps in case they're walking toward your room. Be prepared to hide him under the bed or in a closet at a moment's notice, or have him leave through the window if possible! Don't leave any evidence that your boyfriend was there. Your parents will get suspicious if they see a men's comb or a men's jacket. If he gives you a gift (a note, a photo, a bouquet of flowers) don't leave it out in the open!
Summary:
Be careful about when and where you meet. Consider going out in groups. Say you're sleeping over at a friend's house. Be very careful about inviting your boyfriend over to your house.
