If someone gifts us money in the form of a check and it is made out to Mr. and Mrs. (FH first middle last names), is FH the only one that can cash/deposit it? I am not going to change my name.

Hi all! How should I begin thank you notes to family members of FH. For example, his aunt and uncle just sent us a gift. I have met this aunt once. Should I start the note Dear Aunt (name) and Uncle...

Hi all, I am dealing with some workout burnout. I just can't seem to get myself on the road for my runs this week. I sorta think I overdid it the last two weeks and now I'm burnt out. Anybody have...

We are having a band play at the reception rather than a DJ. In that case, who MCs the event? Like who would be the one to announce us as a couple, announce dinner/cake, and etc? What have people done...

We are thinking about not doing a grand exit, the one with tosses or sparklers where everyone lined up as you leave? Are there alternatives? Could it just be announced that we are leaving and then we...

Alright, third post for the day, I think that's a record for me! Sorry to lean on all of you so much. I am having trouble with my mom. She and my dad are paying for the wedding reception. I am...

I'm wondering about commenting on this forum. Its not a particularly important issue, I'm just wondering. If another poster responds to an OP and basically says exactly what you would have said, is it...

We are having an adults only wedding and we have many out of town guests. I recently had a guest ask about help finding a sitter for that evening when they are in town. I am happy to help her. This...

We are going on a last minute trip to San Antonio! Any recommendations for dinner and/or brunch restaurants or to dos? We would love to do a wine tasting or brewery tour. Thank you in advance for all...

We only invited kids of immediate family members to the wedding. All but one of these kids will be coming from out of town. We would like to request an adults only RD. We arranged to hire two...

I started numbering my RSVP cards tonight. I am not ready to stuff the envelopes yet though (may change an element of the suite). I used a regular ball point ink pen to number. If I stack them, what...

Hi All, I know there are many posts about this, but I still have some questions. We are wavering about whether or not to do a "first look" for photos or see each other for the first time as I walk...

I want to purchase silicone rings for FH and myself. He is a size 11.5 and I am a size 4.5. I'm not sure what size I should get for either of us as they only come in whole sizes on the sites I have...

Introduction: Hi all, I have been relying on these discussions for tips and support for a month or so but never realized the importance of doing an introduction post. I'm amazed at how much community...

Hi all, I am looking for a signature cocktail (read: cocktail that can be made in a large batch to be served at cocktail hour that does not contain a fuzzy mixer) that contains rum or vodka. I want...

Our wedding is on 10/28/17. We live out of state, but are getting married in my home town (about an 8 hr drive one way) . Since I do not live there and work a job with specific vacation allotments, I...
