I know this has come up a million times, but I'm looking for that verbiage that basically (nicely) says we need to hear back from you by xx date, or else we'll have to assume that you can't attend. WW...

I'm supposed to start my last (!!!) pill pack tomorrow, as the plan is to start NTNP after the wedding. I went to the pharmacy earlier to pick it up, and they said there was some sort of mistake and...

Here's an extremely abbreviated version of our day before/wedding day schedule: DAY BEFORE 10AM-2PM: FH and dads arrive at venue with wedding decor, put up string lights and bunting 10AM-3PM: Amanda...

Our hotel room block that we set up for our guests expires one month before the wedding, which is exactly a week for today. Most of the guests who would need to reserve a room are our friends from...

As we get closer to the date and plans start to finalize, I'm starting to seriously consider doing my own mani/pedi for the wedding day. I've only had a professional manicure done twice (for proms)...

Stop posting threads specifically to call out other wedding forums. I've been on this forum for almost a year now and it seems to be happening a lot lately, so I figured I'd speak up. It's petty, it's...

FH's sisters are performing our processional/recessional music, but I'm at a loss as to what to do for the prelude. I could hire our DJ to come early and take care of the prelude, but it'll add to our...

...it was the new pillows we registered for, from one of my good friends that won't be able to make the shower! (Hence why it was sent early.) FH and I mulled it over and decided there's a pretttttty...

I just received a wedding gift, do I have to write a thank you note? HA! Just kidding! But seriously, we just got our first wedding gift mailed to us. Should I wait to open it until after the wedding?...

Don't do it! Specifically, the whole "expect 20-30% of your guests to decline" line that some people try to tell you. As of today, I've received 90 RSVPs out of 163 total invited guests. 7 of those...

FILs are hosting our rehearsal dinner. However, they still haven't decided where to have it. The choices are either our favorite local restaurant, or a slightly larger affair at our house. As you can...

Guests are trying to ADD PEOPLE. Exhibit A: one of my guy friends wants to bring this girl that he won't acknowledge in public (so they're not actually dating). He'll know at least 50 other people at...

What do you think of people other than the bride wearing white to wedding-related events, such as a shower or the rehearsal dinner? Last week, FMIL and FSIL came over to drop off some wedding stuff....

Since we've already received over 80 RSVPs, I've started playing around with a seating chart. I'm trying to avoid splitting up families/friend groups. This is causing some tables to have 7 people...

I'm getting seriously annoyed/frustrated. My shower and bachelorette party are on August 3rd, and invitations have not been sent out for either event. And of course, there's nothing I can do about it....

Especially Lynzey and Almost Mrs D! I know I'm forgetting a few others, too. Don't stress, enjoy every moment, and we can't WAIT to see pictures when it's all said and done! Have beautiful days,...
