I wear glasses everyday and have for the last 7 years, but I wanted to wear contacts for my wedding day, so today I went and got some! I was nervous I wouldn't be able to get them in or touch my eye,...

Any other brides dealing with depression while wedding planning?
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on October 19, 2016 at 7:38 AM

I've suffered from depression and anxiety since I was a teenager. Sometimes it can make wedding planning so much more difficult! I'm on medication for it but it's not always enough. Is anyone else...

Are any of you wearing any type of hosiery under your wedding dress like pantyhose, tights, or thigh highs? Just wondering what's normal here!

Advice on clip in hair extensions?
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on October 14, 2016 at 9:31 PM

Has anyone gotten real human hair clip in hair extensions for their wedding day? Where did you get them and how well did they match your hair? My hair hasn't grown nearly as much as I had anticipated...

Hair extensions? (Clip in)
Amanda in Wedding Attire, on October 14, 2016 at 6:44 AM

Has anyone gotten real hair clip in extensions for their wedding day? My hair did not grow nearly as long as I'd hoped for the style I want, and I knew extensions were always a possibility but now I'm...

Hurt by FSIL
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on October 9, 2016 at 10:51 PM

Yesterday was my bridal shower luncheon. It started at 1pm, guests started arriving around 1:15-1:30 which I expected. FMIL came and asked where her daughters were and I told her I don't know. We were...

NWR; my dog broke his metatarsal :(
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on October 9, 2016 at 12:48 AM

My bridal shower was today so my dad generously took my dog Weenie to the vet for me when I noticed he was limping around and his paw was swollen. Turns out his metatarsal is broken in 3 places in his...

How long do alterations take?
Amanda in Wedding Attire, on October 6, 2016 at 6:19 PM

I'm just wondering. My wedding is in January. I'm adding sleeves (I already have the fabric) and I need to get it hemmed. I wanted to wait to begin alterations until I lose a little weight, in case we...

Shower games?
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on October 5, 2016 at 10:35 PM

My sister asked if I wanted any games at my shower and I hadn't thought too much about it. What are some fun games you guys did? There will be a variety of ages there--grandma's, aunts, mom's, young...

Signature drinks!
Amanda in Community Conversations, on October 4, 2016 at 8:50 PM

For those of you having signature drinks at the bar, please share what you chose and what's in each drink! Are you having a "brides choice" and a "grooms choice" or just one drink? How did you find...

Show your bustles!
Amanda in Wedding Attire, on October 3, 2016 at 9:25 PM

I would love to see your bustles! I'm not sure what kind to get. I have a chiffon dress with a chapel length train. What type of bustle is yours/how many points does it have?

Would you want this as a favor?
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on October 3, 2016 at 1:35 AM

I want to give people a favor they can use again. This idea keeps coming up: a personalized stemless wine glass (see pic for an idea). My dad and FH like this idea too. What do you think? Do you think...

Amanda in Do It Yourself, on October 2, 2016 at 2:55 PM

FH and I went to Michaels last night to get some things so I can make DIY belly bands for our invites. We both picked various paper options. These are our top 2 favorites. We can't decide! The first...

Amanda in Community Conversations, on September 29, 2016 at 9:41 PM

Wedding jewelry came!
Amanda in Wedding Attire, on September 29, 2016 at 12:14 AM

I wanted jewelry that was more subtle that I could wear again after the wedding. My dress has a beautiful design made of rhinestones on the front/busy area, so I didn't want any jewelry that was too...

Cake or cupcakes (or both)?
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on September 28, 2016 at 8:00 AM

We both love the dessert table because guests who want something smaller or different than cake have an option. We have to pick one option before we sign a contract. Problem is, we don't know which to...

OOT guest etiquette???
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on September 26, 2016 at 2:25 AM

Let me first start out by saying I would not categorize our wedding as a DW. We are getting married ~1 hour north of where we live. For some guests it will be ~2 hours, for a select few it will be 3,...
