So excited to share my DIY invitations with you guys! (pic heavy)
Amanda in Community Conversations, on May 21, 2013 at 9:27 AM

They're FINALLY ready! I could not be more thrilled with how they turned out. My mom, FMIL, FMIL's family friend, and I poured HOURS of work into these. The first picture is the front of the envelope....

What else to put in BM's gifts?
Amanda in Community Conversations, on May 21, 2013 at 8:42 AM

Good mooooooorning WW! My very talented FMIL is making adorable totes for each of my bridesmaids. They're really similar to a Vera Bradley type of tote, that's the only way I can think to describe...

At our registry! Not gonna lie, I've checked that sucker a few times to make sure items aren't discontinued. Maybe it's just a Kohl's issue, but it seems like items discontinue or are suddenly...

Is this an okay father/daughter dance song?
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on May 15, 2013 at 3:04 PM

Let me preface by saying that FH and I reallllly didn't want to do parent/child dances, but our parents want them, so we're letting them have that :-) My dad and I have an okay relationship, but he...

KWR - awesome night with FH :)
Amanda in Community Conversations, on May 16, 2013 at 8:45 PM

Just wanted to share what a great night we had! First, we had our second premarital counseling session, and we had some amazing conversations. Afterwards FH hugged me tight and said how much he loves...

An interesting read on wedding one-lowmanship
Amanda in Community Conversations, on May 15, 2013 at 10:07 AM

I found this on OBB, but I wanted to share it here and get your thoughts on it. I remember threads from awhile back discussing this exact issue, and I think this article sums it up what we were saying...

Amanda in Community Conversations, on May 15, 2013 at 7:22 AM

Hey hey hey Amy V (and/or anyone else with fitness expertise)
Amanda in Fitness and Health, on May 14, 2013 at 7:39 PM

I have a general knowledge of how weight loss management works (I lost 20-plus lbs two years ago and kept it off), but I have a problem area - my tummy. I'm 5'3, about 116 lbs, but I'm slightly...

Have a picture of rings next to your post? Click here!
Amanda in Community Conversations, on May 14, 2013 at 11:37 AM

It seems we've had a lot of new members joining and posting on the forum, which is awesome, BUT, we can't tell who you are or follow your planning progress if you have that default ring picture as...

August brides check in!
Amanda in Community Conversations, on May 13, 2013 at 1:53 PM

I haven't seen one of these for August 2013 brides in a while. How is everyone feeling? Share what you've accomplished lately, what's on your list for this week, and what you're putting off for a bit...

Adults only wedding but inviting kids to bridal shower?
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on May 9, 2013 at 7:51 AM

We're having an adults-only wedding, first and foremost because we are absolutely tapped out space-wise at the venue, and secondly because we'd prefer an adults-only wedding. No tantrums (hopefully)...

It only takes three flags to hide these spam posts. Everyone else who's up early with me, let's get to work getting our forum back! PSA to real brides with default avatars (ring pictures, cartoon...

Sending out of state guests' invitations early?
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on May 12, 2013 at 4:29 PM

I'm thinking about sending our out of state guests' invitations about a week or so earlier than the rest. We're pretty close to our max space-wise, and my thinking was that sending a few OOT invites...

AMAZING deal on flowers and all vendors finalized!
Amanda in Community Conversations, on May 11, 2013 at 3:40 PM

Mom and I went this morning and placed our flower order for the wedding: twenty full hydrangea centerpieces (at least 5 blooms in each) and 10 less full arrangements for hanging mason jars, 6...

Quick RSVP question...
Amanda in Planning, on May 10, 2013 at 12:02 PM

...because nothing came up for me using the search function. Do I write the guests' addresses on the RSVP envelope for them, or just leave it for them to fill out? I know I'm supposed to slap a stamp...

Be honest...
Amanda in Honeymoon, on May 6, 2013 at 2:50 PM

Who's secretly (or not so secretly) more excited about the honeymoon than the wedding? Obviously I'm SUPER excited for the wedding, but there's so much stress/work/money/expectations that goes along...

Ugh you guys. I'm already rethinking my jewelry choices.
Amanda in Wedding Attire, on May 9, 2013 at 12:40 PM

Thank goodness that I bought my jewelry from an Etsy seller that offers returns, because I don't think I'm going the colored jewelry route anymore. For those just tuning in, I weighed my options here...

Another invitation question - envelope colors
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on May 7, 2013 at 1:46 PM

Maybe this is a stupid question, but does it matter to the post office what color my envelopes are? We are planning to use navy blue envelopes, with faux calligraphy done by yours truly in gold gel...

Thoughts on potential wedding day look? *pic heavy*
Amanda in Wedding Attire, on May 3, 2013 at 11:35 AM

Before I purchase this jewelry, what do you think of this look with my dress and shoes? I've had the hardest time finding jewelry that I like, and when I saw this, I practically squealed. But is the...
