Zola Invitations
Allie in Planning, on May 10, 2019 at 10:11 AM

I ordered my invitations from Zola on May 2nd. They shipped yesterday and estimated delivery says May 20th. Does that seem a little long or am I just paranoid? So anxious to get these back!

Starting to think about jewelry
Allie in Wedding Attire, on May 1, 2019 at 5:18 PM

I went to a wedding this past weekend and the bride had a v-neck dress similar to mine. She had pearl earrings and necklace. I loved the necklace because it took up a lot of the blank space on the...

Popcorn bags for favors
Allie in Wedding Reception, on April 30, 2019 at 5:20 PM

I saw someone posting about a popcorn bar so it gave me the idea to do small bags of gourmet popcorn as our favors since FH and I love popcorn. My question is, would it be bad to buy the popcorn in...

Allie in Etiquette and Advice, on April 23, 2019 at 10:20 AM

I'm going to a wedding this weekend and have decided to bring a card and money instead of buying a gift off the registry. Me being the anxious ball of stress that I am; what do you do with a card you...

Invitation help- again
Allie in Etiquette and Advice, on April 23, 2019 at 10:10 AM

Picking out invitations is driving me crazy. I finally found one I liked and my cousins/aunts agreed on. And then my mom says "is that the only colors it comes in" *eye roll*. So here is where I am....

To respond or not respond
Allie in Etiquette and Advice, on April 15, 2019 at 11:32 AM

Short backstory- My FH's mother left him and his family when he was 14 so he harbors a lot of resentment, doesn't want to have anything to do with her, etc. His grandmother (her mother) had a...

Allie in Wedding Attire, on April 15, 2019 at 9:14 AM

We went to Chattanooga this weekend to visit family and popped in a jewelry store just for fun. They had some men's wedding bands made out of whiskey barrels so I convinced FH to try some on. He...

Bar glasses dilemma
Allie in Wedding Reception, on April 15, 2019 at 10:06 AM

I posted a while back about suggestions on where to find plastic cups for the bar. The venue wants plastic because they don't want the possibility of any glass on the grounds. We are serving beer,...

Life changes and wedding planning
Allie in Community Conversations, on April 9, 2019 at 9:20 AM

As if getting married wasn't a big milestone already, who else is going through major life changes in the middle of wedding planning? My FH got a job 3 hrs from where I currently live so on a whim I...

Invitations and small progress
Allie in Planning, on April 3, 2019 at 9:26 AM

Well, I finally gave my mother a task and let go of some control a bit. I have been looking at invitations for months and can't decide on anything, so I gave the reigns to her. The only specifications...

Seating chart- table numbers
Allie in Wedding Reception, on March 15, 2019 at 1:02 PM

So, silly question here. My wedding is relatively casual but after reading forums here, realize it's best to do assigned seating so we won't have any problems fitting everyone into our small venue....

Not having a bridal party, and I only have from 4pm to 6pm to get First Looks and any other pictures I want before the ceremony. How do you feel about "getting ready" pictures?

Another hair post :)
Allie in Hair and Makeup, on March 11, 2019 at 10:36 AM

I'm looking for opinions on hairstyles! I originally thought I wanted a low bun kind of messy updo but now I'm thinking I would rather do half up half down. I'm just worried about it being too hot, so...
