Giftless bridal shower wording?
in Etiquette and Advice, on July 9, 2019 at 6:34 PM

Anyone have any suggestions for invitation wording for a no-gift-required shower? I know the standard "your presence is the only gift we need" but does anyone have anything more creative?

Hi lovelies! I've got a tulle ballgown skirt on my dress that initially had lots of volume, but after 5 months in a bag, is a little wilted! Any tips to get that fluff back?

Dropping hints for a bridal shower?
in Etiquette and Advice, on May 3, 2019 at 6:38 PM

My wedding party consists of just my MOH, who lives in the UK, and my mother didn't have a very traditional wedding, so she doesn't get the idea that people would make a big deal of their nuptials....

in Planning, on October 27, 2018 at 9:32 PM

Has anyone used Paper Culture for Invites? They look to be fantastically priced, and a Groupon to boot? 130 lb paper, modern designs. I ordered a sample pack but figured I'd ask here too.

Jewelry pairing?
in Wedding Attire, on February 25, 2019 at 9:43 AM

What jewelry would you pair with this dress? I'm likely to wear my hair up. Double pierced ears, so earrings are a go. I usually err on the side of simple pieces (studs, small pendants, etc) but I'm...
