People asking for cash/giving gifts anyway
Alejandra in Registry, on December 8, 2019 at 6:14 PM

Hi all, I’ve seen some posts about why it’s rude to ask for cash on an invitation. First off, I totally agree. It’s unnecessary and tacky. However on these posts I’ve seen answers saying that, BECAUSE...

More crazy future sister in law! To invite or not?
Alejandra in Community Conversations, on November 11, 2019 at 3:47 PM

So in the past I’ve posted about my FH’s crazy older sister. She absolutely hates me because her cousins told her to (no lie) because even though I’ve seen her multiple times, she’s never even said...

Did you ever consider not having a bachelorette party?
Alejandra in Parties and Events, on October 21, 2019 at 2:19 PM

Hi all, FH and I agreed we wouldn’t do bachelor/bachelorette parties. Neither of us love being the center of attention. Plus, with his groomsmen, I honestly don’t trust them to a) not take him to a...
