What to sell?
Alejandra in Married Life, on August 10, 2014 at 9:19 PM

I'm surprised we didn't have much left over from our wedding but I guess that means I was able to control myself from going overboard during the planning process lol I will try to sell our table...

Pounding Party! Why didn't I know about this BEFORE the wedding?
Alejandra in Planning, on June 17, 2014 at 7:54 PM

Doesn't it sound like a great idea? Instead of a traditional shower, at a punding party, guests bring a pound of any "essentials" like flour, sugar, etc. to stockt he pantry. I didn't have a shower bc...

Alejandra in Married Life, on June 10, 2014 at 12:40 PM

What fertility tracking app (for iphone) do you recommend and why? Do you use it for TTC or to avoid pregnancy?

How did you go about your registry completion?
Alejandra in Married Life, on June 5, 2014 at 6:45 PM

We expected to buy SOME things from our registry after the wedding but we actually received way fewer gifts than we imagined so there's a TON of stuff left. (Our families don't follow the 1 year rule...

We leave for Vegas in the morning and the wedding is Sunday but I still decided to take on one more DIY. For my something old, I wanted to use the name tag from FH's first uniform from the Marines. I...

Maide name as middle name not allowed in CA?
Alejandra in Married Life, on May 18, 2014 at 2:24 AM

I read an article that says California (along with New Jersey, New York, Ohio & Pennsylvania) is one of the states that does not allow making your maiden name your middle name after the wedding. It...

Toddlers don't get food
Alejandra in Planning, on May 15, 2014 at 8:26 PM

Our venue does a *discount* for children attending 4yrs . Toddlers (3 and under) are free. Well, today I found out that free just means they don't get a meal, period. We have 4 nephews combined (3 are...

Teenagers! dklfjgvks -_-
Alejandra in Planning, on May 15, 2014 at 4:43 PM

FH's little brother (he's 18) has done some things along the planning process that I find so annoying. He started college in the Fall. FH's parents and sister made us feel like we had to help them pay...

SO excited about BBB Registry!
Alejandra in Community Conversations, on May 15, 2014 at 2:57 PM

I got an email for 20% off my entire purchase to use after the wedding at Bed Bath & Beyond! I thought we would be getting a 10% discount, not 20%! Apparently it's a Registry Completion Event they are...

Do you ask for discounts???
Alejandra in Etiquette and Advice, on May 13, 2014 at 6:57 PM

I know many of us are on a budget here. Do you make it a habit to ask for discounts when making purchases?(wedding related or not). I am in the process of booking our honeymoon excursions and when I...

Dumb arguments with FH right before the wedding
Alejandra in Planning, on May 12, 2014 at 2:51 PM

13 days out & FH and I got into an argument last night over the SEATING CHART. The crazy thing is that it wasn't over who we would be seating with who, nope. The argument was over how we were DRAWING...

Pay It Forward: FREE Shutterfly book
Alejandra in Community Conversations, on May 9, 2014 at 10:21 PM

Hi All, I have a coupon for a free photo book from Shutterfly. It is good for an 8x8 but I believe you can apply it towards a bigger book also, just pay the difference. It expires May 18th and I won't...

Alejandra in Do It Yourself, on May 4, 2014 at 5:15 PM

As some of you know, we are including HP elements in our wedding. Little, subtle details that may not be obvious to others but mean a lot to us. (We ordered FH's Deathly Hallows socks last night!)...

Oh, just the usual RSVP rant
Alejandra in Planning, on April 29, 2014 at 1:16 PM

Our deadline was yesterday, and we are obviously still waiting on people. Not many, but for some reason it really bothers me that grown adults cannot send back a stamped and pre-addressed card on...

Alejandra in Community Conversations, on April 28, 2014 at 11:25 AM
