Amanda in Wedding Attire, on March 24, 2013 at 9:17 AM

Ahhh so excited. I finally bit the bullet and ordered these pretties. I might even wear them in our engagement pictures next month :-) I also booked the videographer, reorganized the wedding room in...

NWR: FH's and my job situation (happy update)
Amanda in Community Conversations, on March 22, 2013 at 7:41 AM

I wrote on Tuesday about how FH received some bad news about a job he was all set to start next month - the office lost half its funding, including FH's new job. So after two years of trying to get on...

Married friends! Lets talk RSVP rates again.
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on March 19, 2013 at 6:04 PM

We see these questions almost daily on WW - what's the standard RSVP rate? How many RSVPd to your wedding? Et cetera et cetera. And the answer is always that it doesn't matter what anyone else's RSVP...

For those who invited ~100 guests or less
Amanda in Planning, on March 19, 2013 at 10:05 AM

Out of curiosity - how did you do it? Do you and FH have small families and thus a smaller guest list just came naturally? Did you start out with a larger list but make cuts?

Back from vacation and blindsided with a new problem YAY
Amanda in Planning, on March 19, 2013 at 8:32 AM

Sorry for my brief WW absence! FH and I took a roadtrip to Florida for a long weekend. We had a great time, but on the drive back yesterday, FH got a call about his new job that he's supposed to be...

A nosy question out of sheer curiosity
Amanda in Community Conversations, on March 10, 2013 at 2:41 PM

Totally random, none-of-my-business question: what/how much did you receive as wedding gifts, either monetary or otherwise? I know that this probably varies greatly depending on social circle,...

Inviting old friends or current ones?
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on March 12, 2013 at 9:30 AM

Here's our guest list situation: we're capped at 160 guests due to space constraints at our venue. Of that number, about 130 are FH and my family and closest friends, plus a few plus ones. The other...

NWR: does anyone know how to add pictures from an iPad?
Amanda in Community Conversations, on March 11, 2013 at 8:36 PM

I want to update my avatar to a new puppy picture, but can't figure out how to do it from my iPad. Help a technologically-illiterate sister out?

Spinoff: what HAVE you done with FH?
Amanda in Community Conversations, on March 12, 2013 at 8:12 AM

I don't mean dirty things, but what crazy adventures/activities/life events have you and FH gone through together? I bet there's some good stories out there! Together, FH and I have... -ran a mud race...

NWR: changed mah avatar (puppy is growing up)
Amanda in Community Conversations, on March 12, 2013 at 7:24 AM

Still Amanda G, but I didn't want to fool you guys into thinking I still had the precious little puppy below. Nope, he is definitely entering the gangly awkward teenager phase :-) I might change again...

When to purchase wedding shoes?
Amanda in Wedding Attire, on March 11, 2013 at 1:56 PM

This might be a silly question, but here goes. My dress is due to arrive to the salon in June. Should I have my shoes when I go to try it on? If it matters, I only plan to wear about a 3" heel (see...

Spin-off: Is there any way to prevent the clinking glasses?
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on March 11, 2013 at 8:58 AM

Add clinking glasses to get the B&G to kiss to the list of wedding traditions that I do not care for. Has anyone discovered a successful way to get around it? Just not responding when guests start...

NWR: Open House / Engagement Party Etiquette
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on March 11, 2013 at 8:27 AM

I've mentioned before that FH and I bought our first home a few months ago, back in October 2012. Our lender and real estate agent are absolutely amazing and as a congratulations gift, offered to...

Themes: who else is having a preppy/nautical/southern style wedding?
Amanda in Planning, on March 8, 2013 at 11:59 AM

I was searching WW posts looking for some inspiration, and just about every recent post containing the words "preppy nautical" was mine! Haha! I can't possibly be the only one going for a nautical...

Just for fun: What do you think the next big wedding trends will be?
Amanda in Community Conversations, on March 8, 2013 at 8:04 AM

I think we can all agree that rustic/vintage weddings are a predominant trend in weddings right now, but what do you think will be the trademark of the next few years? I foresee the personal touches...

Just for fun: what would make you have a bridezilla moment?
Amanda in Community Conversations, on March 6, 2013 at 1:38 PM

Nothing brings out the unsolicited opinions of others quite like planning wedding. What are some doozies you've heard that bring out a visceral "oh HELL no!"? Mine are: -the chicken dance or any...

To veil or not to veil?
Amanda in Wedding Attire, on March 4, 2013 at 1:53 PM

Outdoor venue brides - did you/are you planning to wear a veil and why or why not? We'll be outdoors on the water, so I don't want tulle blowing in my face the whole time. Plus it's one less thing to...

NWR: I'm a quarter century old today! Oy.
Amanda in Community Conversations, on March 5, 2013 at 6:23 AM

FH got up early to go get steak marinade and my coworkers are taking me to lunch. And my mom-mom made me a cake. Party animal! Birthdays just aren't what they used to be ;-) BUT, I did notice on my...

Spinoff thread: how to pair up wedding party
Amanda in Planning, on March 4, 2013 at 9:50 AM

This isn't a dilemma at all, or even a rant, just something that seems a little strange to me. FH and I are good friends with a couple getting married this May. We're both in the wedding party. It...
