Tacky to have plastic plates?
Allison in Etiquette and Advice, on April 12, 2012 at 12:34 AM

So, we've already bought real wine glasses and real silverwear for our hors d'oevres wedding reception, but I'm not sure about buying or renting real plates. They sell nice looking plastic ones with...

Married and did it all for just over 10k!
Allison in Community Conversations, on August 23, 2012 at 3:04 PM

Hi ladies! We are married, and I want to give a shout-out to budget conscious brides! Including the rings and honeymoon, we did it all for just over 10k, and it was WONDERFUL! Tons of flowers (silk),...

Wedding Favors!
Allison in Do It Yourself, on April 21, 2012 at 4:32 PM

What do you think of my daffodil themed wedding favors? I've painted 24 so far. Only 84 to go! Actually is pretty fun and surprisingly easy. When I get RSVPs, I'm going to paint people's names on the...

How long to wait for RSVPs after deadline?
Allison in Etiquette and Advice, on August 1, 2012 at 5:58 PM

Hi Ladies, So today is the deadline for RSVPs for our Aug. 18 wedding. I called and emailed everyone, but only got ahold of one friend so far. How long should I wait before I cross them off the list?...

Rollercoaster Emotions!
Allison in Etiquette and Advice, on July 30, 2012 at 4:06 PM

Does anyone else here feel like some demon is possessing them some days? Over-all, I've been reasonably easy-going and not stressing too much, but every now and again I feel like I just lose it!...

Started taking dance classes! :-)
Allison in Etiquette and Advice, on July 20, 2012 at 1:51 AM

I'm so relieved to finally start taking dance classes with my FH so that we're prepared for our first dance! I've taken lots of dance classes for years, but no ballroom other than salsa, and my FH...

Getting in shape for the big day
Allison in Fitness and Health, on June 20, 2012 at 5:37 PM

Question: What are you ladies doing to tone up or slim down for the big day? I've got two months to go and I'd like to just lose 4 pounds (but losing weight quickly is hard for me -- I mostly maintain...

Confused over my feelings about my mom
Allison in Etiquette and Advice, on July 1, 2012 at 1:20 AM

As my wedding day draws closer, I'm having more and more emotional moments where I think of my mom (she died of cancer in 2004 when I was 24). Sometimes I'm really sad that she's not here to guide me...

Bridesmaid invited ladies to the shower who aren't invited to the wedding!
Allison in Etiquette and Advice, on June 19, 2012 at 1:37 AM

Grrr! I repeatedly told her not to invite ladies from church who were not invited to the wedding, but she did it anyway! And the pastor was one of them!!! (my sister is marying us -- she used to be...

MOH disappointment :-(
Allison in Etiquette and Advice, on June 12, 2012 at 3:01 AM

I know a lot of gals have vented about their MOH, but I guess I have too vent too. :-( I chose my MOH because I considered her my best friend, very outgoing and a great public speaker, she doesn't...

Anyone else feeling overly sensitive?
Allison in Etiquette and Advice, on April 25, 2012 at 12:54 AM

I find as the wedding draws nearer that I let every little thing someone says, or doesn't say, get to me. When I sent photos of my DIY wedding favors to my sister, dad, and bridesmaids and didn't get...

Worried for FBIL and his FW
Allison in Etiquette and Advice, on June 7, 2012 at 1:44 AM

This weekend my FBIL and his fiance are getting married, but all signs point to a terrible wedding and marriage. They've been dating for 6 years, but I think they're just marrying because they're...

How many dresses have you bought?
Allison in Wedding Attire, on June 5, 2012 at 2:09 AM

I'm not even telling my FH how many dresses I've bought for upcoming wedding parties. I got one for his brother's wedding (this weekend), one for my bridal shower (in two weeks), one for our rehearsal...

First Premarital Counseling Session
Allison in Community Conversations, on June 3, 2012 at 9:05 PM

Today we had our first session with our pastor. We were both kinda nervous, and didn't know what to expect, but it was really nice! Mostly it was just comparing our feelings about ourselves and our...

My FBIL is driving my FH and me crazy!
Allison in Etiquette and Advice, on May 29, 2012 at 12:59 AM

Goodness! It just won't quit with my FH's brother! He's getting married on June 9th, and his whole view of weddings and marriage is driving us nuts! 1) He's wearing his wedding ring already. His...

FMIL called me to ask my opinion about contraception for my FSIL!
Allison in Community Conversations, on May 26, 2012 at 2:30 PM

Oh my! Kinda funny and potentially awkward situation! My FMIL called me late last night because my FBIL is getting married in less than two weeks and he wants his FW to be on birth control, but they...

How do I tell my FMIL that I bought a reception dress
Allison in Etiquette and Advice, on May 25, 2012 at 2:07 PM

Hi ladies. I need advice on how to tell my FMIL that I bought a second dress for my wedding. She generously bought my ceremony dress for me, but it's strapless and kinda heavy, so I bought a second...

When did you know he was THE ONE?
Allison in Community Conversations, on May 21, 2012 at 2:56 AM

So ladies, when did you decide that your man was The One? My moment was when I called him at 12:30am because I saw the tail of a snake go under my bookcase. He drove an hour and a half to "save me"....

Too early to send invites?
Allison in Etiquette and Advice, on May 20, 2012 at 12:22 AM

So I hear it's typical to send invitations between 6 and 8 weeks before the wedding, but with people making summer plans, is it so bad to send invitations a little earlier? My wonderful bridesmaids...
