I have pretty bad social anxiety, so a lot of the elements of the wedding will be stressful for me. One of the things that helps with my anxiety is knowing what to expect/having a plan for what to do...
Because the guest list is vital to have set in stone before you can find a venue, how did you decide on who to invite? Did you decide to have adults only with no kids, a set group with kids invited or...
I want a unique title for mine and my fiancée’s best friend (the same person), the catch is she acts as a mediator for us, and honestly is a big reason we are still together. Any ideas?
Hello! I'm in need of some advice on what to do about a set of friends. We have a small bridal party of 4 total. My one set of friends I need advice on are not currently in the party. Our wedding is...
We sent our STDs in March and our wedding is in November 2024. 75% of our guest list are from out of state so we wanted to make sure they had enough time to buy plane tickets and book hotels. We need...
Ok, it's not my first wedding, but I don't think at 51 I should wear a veil. I would however love to have one just at the back of my head going down the back of my gown for part of the day, stupid...
I'm fine that several of our wedding guests didn't bring gifts. We don't need things, and are very appreciative of the gifts we did get (pretty much our whole registry). But several guests didn't even...
I am the bride's sister-in-law, and I am a bridesmaid. I offered to host the wedding shower. I am fully expecting to do 90% of the work and expenses, however in talking with several people they...
I have a friend who recently got engaged, and I’ve been wondering if I’ll be invited to the wedding. I’ve known the friend by going to school together, but over the past few years we haven’t really...
We are FINALLY getting around to having our wedding photos printed. Our photog package included a CD with the images and the rights to print them as we saw fit (my cousin is a photog and this is the...
Ugh so I've been arguing with myself if its actually worth it?? My FH doesn't care for it, but if we were to get one it would be more of a journal that people can write their wishes in (like the...
Does anyone struggle with getting caught up in other people’s opinions that you start to feel they will hate you if you tell them “no, we’re doing it this way”? If so, what are some tips and advice...
What are your thoughts on this as a guest? Have you experienced this and it didn’t go as well as people say it should or did guests not express their feelings to each other? Do you feel that attending...
Hi all, I'm a ciswoman, and my partner is trans non-binary. So far so good in planning a beautifully queer wedding. We're always sure to ask potential vendors of their past history in working with...
My fiance and I are getting married about an hour from where our officiant's work place is, although I think they live further away than that. They mentioned they would love to come to the rehearsal...
My husband and I decided when we got engaged that we would be celibate for a month before our wedding. We own a home together so it wasn't easy to do but well-worth it! We both knew the boundaries (I...
I am going a civil ceremony but we are throwing a reception in July. We won’t have a bridal party and I only have a couple of friends in the City we live and none have offered to coordinate anything....
Would it be rude of me to ask our photographer and their second shooter to eat at different times? Usually people say that they don’t want pics of people eating but since we only will have reception I...
I have a cousin, over 18, who is in college and I am unsure how to send her the save the date/invitation since her "address" is her parents house. Do I send her and her parents separate invitations or...
Hello all! I’m not sure if this is the proper group for this discussion. However, I wanted to know if you ladies and/or gents wear your engagement rings all the time. Recently, I was made to feel bad,...
