FW and I will going on our first cruise for our honeymoon a few weeks after our wedding. She really wants to snorkel and I'm willing to break out of my anxiety ridden shell to try it as well after we...

I'm currently toying with the idea of belly bands of our invites. Currently our invites are DIY ones that have golden foil dots, so I was looking for ways to dress this up a bit and came across belly...

I've started roughly working on my timeline and I have no idea when to put the speeches in. We're having a plated salad so the venue will set the table and then a buffet style dinner. Option 1:...

I didn't want to take over the other thread, but is it odd that my MUA has specified that she is to be paid in cash for the trial and day of? I didn't think anything of it initially because there is a...

We set our date this past July, a solid 18 months before the wedding. We knew it was our date way before then, but the check was signed in July. Today we find out the FBIL's graduation is the same...

I know there's been a ton of threads about invite wording today but hopefully this one is different enough. I've been working on our wording and the actual address of our venue won't fit on the...

I haven't searched for this, but if it already exists just let me know. I imagine that this can vary by region but if a bride/couple has a shower, do you typically gift at the shower and the wedding...

I've traveled a lot in the past, but it's always been in a package type deal, so I've never planned an entire trip myself. We're taking a cruise for our honeymoon and got a wonderful deal on it, but I...

I haven't seen anything quite like this, so I hope this isn't repeating something. Why did you pick your venue? Practical reasons or another reason? I thought this might be helpful for people still...

I didn't want to hijack the other post but it made me wonder; for those planning to attend their own cocktail hour, will you be introduced during the cocktail hour or will you just mingle and be...

What's the next big thing in life (other than your wedding!!) that you're looking forward to? For me it's getting a house or, at the very least, out of this little town. Today we found out our...

How do you and your other half split/plan to split household chores? Right now we each have the area we keep clean, she does dishes and I do laundry but it seems like neither one of us is ever happy....

I'm on mobile, so I apologize if this has already been covered. How does the wedding world feel about programs for the ceremony? I'm not a huge fan, but FW is. We're having a quick ceremony and are...

I've hit that wall where I can't tell if an idea is a good one that will save me money or just me being a cheapskate. We will have the same number of bridesmaids as tables so I was considering using...

Hello! I thought we were getting ahead of the game by looking to book our honeymoon but when we looked yesterday, some stuff is already completely sold out! Because of this, we've started talking...

Happy New Year! For those who have taken bridal portraits, what did you do for hair and make up? Did you just do it yourself or did you pay to have it done professionally or have your trial that day?...

One of the aspects I really like about this forum, even though I'm still super new, is that I feel like everyone gives very sisterly advice. If it's a bad idea, y'all are going to tell me it's a bad...

Hello! I've been thinking about the upcoming year and I've come across a question. I'm not planning on sending out save the dates, so the plan is send out invites around the end of September for a Dec...

Hello! I've been lurking around off and on for a while, but more consistently for the past week or so. My name is Ashlyn and I'm marrying a wonderful women, K. We've been engaged for a bit over a year...

Hello! I'm looking for suggestions on where to have my bridal shower. I have a large group, so we can't do it at someone's house. Has anyone had luck find anywhere between Lynchburg and Richmond...
