Are you doing one? What is said in one? Is it to thank the guests or the parents? I've heard people talk about them but have never actually seen one. If one set of parents is hosting (rather than the...

So my beloved grandparents live in Florida (I live in NC) and traveling has been a major issue for them lately (they are 85 and 87). However, I was determined to get them to my wedding no matter what....

If your reception is outdoors, does your venue have a certain time you have to turn the music off? I just saw on my venue's website that they require no loud music after 10 pm. Starting to freak out...

Before you say my wedding is a few months away..... I have already had one shower and have another this weekend. We are registered at Amazon and Bed Bath and Beyond. The BB&B registry has been blowing...

My mom texted me last night "we need to invite Bob and Sarah to the wedding, here's their address." I have heard my parents talk about Bob and Sarah several times, but I have NEVER met them and...

My hair and makeup trial is 95 dollars but I'm not having bridal portraits. I don't want to just go home and sit there looking fly by myself!! Is it bad to get it done before a couples shower?...

I'm sure I'll get some flack for this, but my parents are very generously paying for our wedding. They have been so giving and haven't put in their opinions at all, leaving all decisions up to us. We...

Probably the weirdest/dumbest question you've read on here all day... When do you plan to shower before your wedding? Before the rehearsal dinner and not again until Sunday? After the rehearsal...

So this is probably a dumb question...but on Saturday my fiancé is in a wedding at a wedding where I won't know a single person. I guess that means I have to go to the wedding alone and sit by myself?...

So my MOH just texted me (not sure why she would even tell me this - but I'm glad she did) that she wasn't planning on throwing me a shower because one of the bridesmaids told her that the mother is...

Originally we decided not to invite kids to our wedding. I think I mainly did this because it will probably be a crazy night with lots of drinking/dancing and I assumed my family members with kids...

I am getting married where my parents live and where FH and I grew up, which is 3 hours away from where I live. SO, meeting with vendors is a hard task and I try to squeeze as many wedding-planning...

So I know it's the thing to do at showers to open all your presents in front of everyone....but I am absolutely cringing at the thought of this!!! I imagine this being so boring to sit through as a...

I have changed my mind about our menu SO many times!!! At first my venue convinced me to do a cocktail style with heavy appetizers, but after reading these forums, I've decided that a full dinner...

So FH and I have been together since we were in high school, so I consider myself to be pretty close to his family. That being said, they are very different from my family in that they keep their...

2 months ago, I scheduled a cake tasting in the city where my wedding is (keep in mind - I live 3 hours away) at a bakery I had heard great things about. The bakery required us to pay $60 for...

So my fiancé's mom keeps asking me what I want her to wear at the wedding. My bridesmaids are wearing a very pale pink dress and the groomsmen are wearing black tuxes. Our color scheme is blush (when...

Hey peeps! Is anyone else having (or even been to) a cocktail style reception (passed apps/stations)?? We are wanting to have one just to encourage mingling among the guests, to allow more time for...

We are getting married at a vineyard that is basically in the middle of nowhere. We have tons of out of town guests that will be staying in a hotel about 15 minutes away. I would love to be able to...
