We are renting a party bus for our wedding. It is a family owned business and the guy driving us on the day of the wedding owns the business. Is it necessary for us to tip him? If so, does the usual...

I have butterflies in my stomach and I keep having wedding dreams. Sometimes they are nightmares, sometimes they are good, and sometimes they are just plain strange. Poor FH keeps having them too! He...

The other venue post got me thinking about this. FH and I absolutely love the church we are getting married at. It's modern and beautiful. Our reception venue, not so much. It's okay and we liked it...

I have an 8 oz. flask that is personalized with the name Jason in Old English font. We had a groomsman drop out and FH does not wish to give the flask to this guy. It's not much, but if you can use...

It's been a busy week of wedding planning. The groomsmen gifts finally came in, my last Vistaprint order came, and I have been busy trying to take care of things so that I don't have to stress during...

I know we all get annoyed by this RSVP stuff. I don't understand why its so difficult for people to fill out a RSVP card, put it back in the self-addressed, stamped envelope and send it. We have had...

My photographer requires in her contract that I provide dinner for her and the second shooter. No biggie. I figure she will just eat at the reception when everyone else is eating. My question is,...

I really want to do Calvin Harris's "Feel So Close" for our last dance. I love it and want it to be played sometime during our reception. FH wants "Closing Time" by Semisonic. You can't dance to...

My extended family is driving me nuts. We are 4 weeks away and they are starting drama left and right. I have five female cousins between the ages of 17 and 21 who feel that they should get to bring...

Is it okay to leave an empty chair at a table? I have some random chairs by themselves at tables where my single guests don't really fit.

It's been awhile since we have had a post like this. I have had a very productive wedding planning day - had my first dress fitting, RSVP deadline was today, finalized some details with the...

Which did you do or plan to do at your wedding? The more I work on our seating chart, the more I like the idea of a sweetheart table. Almost every member of our wedding party is bringing a guest that...

I have a fit and flare gown that shows off my curves. Problem is, I am pear shaped and have no boobs from losing 50 pounds. So I am all hips and booty. I purchased a long line bra to help give me some...

Our RSVP deadline is tomorrow. We are still waiting on several people to RSVP, but we have a surprising number who RSVP'd no. After talking it over last night and going back over the budget, we are...

When we started planning, we had to decide where to have our wedding. It was between where we live (Evansville, IN) or Cincinnati, Ohio where my family lives. FH and I really wanted to have the...

I am just curious to see everyone's opinions. A co-worker that I invited to our wedding the other day didn't realize that FH and I were already living together. He asked why we hadn't included...
