Alyssa in Community Conversations, on September 19, 2016 at 4:44 PM

For the married guys and gals, how much time did you give yourself between finishing getting ready and the ceremony? We are not doing a first look. Wondering when I should be ready for my 4 PM...

Emergency kit?
Alyssa in Planning, on October 30, 2016 at 9:20 PM

I've seen this mentioned on here a few times. Want to be prepared I case something(s) goes wrong. What typically goes into an emergency kit?

Alyssa in Planning, on September 20, 2016 at 1:31 PM

I am about 45 days out from my wedding and physically, I feel fine. I don't really care if something goes wrong and have started tuning out the incessant "are you ready?" questions. This being said,...

All the kids??
Alyssa in Etiquette and Advice, on August 3, 2016 at 3:47 PM

If I'm inviting the children of our bridal party, families and OOT guests, should I be inviting everyone else's kids as well? Say it ain't so!!

Local Wedding with Mostly Out of Town Guests
Alyssa in Planning, on August 2, 2016 at 11:49 AM

Our wedding is within an hour of our home city, however, over 50% of our guests will be from out of town/state/country. Do we still send invites 6-8 weeks out, or should we send them earlier?

Original Songs or Instrumental Versions for Processional?
Alyssa in Etiquette and Advice, on July 25, 2016 at 5:40 PM

Are you guys using music in its original form for your processional, or instrumental versions? Do you feel that using songs with vocals distracts from the ceremony? Look forward to your thoughts!
