Help! What are you spending on photography? What do they include (how many hours, people). Having a hard time finding a good photographer for under 5-10k in NYC. Trying to keep this as budget friendly...

I love FH dearly but he can make me CRAZY! He wants to be involved & help & have "tasks" which I generally think is great.... Until it creates more work for me. I asked him to get some transportation...

Question 1: I'm ordering my invites online & they come with an inner envelope at no extra charge. There is however a $1 per envelope printing fee. My question is, do I need inner envelopes if I...

Have any of you had photography regret?? Pictures are REALLY important to me but FH has tightened the budget. We found a photographer who takes fine pics and is VERY affordable- she's on the newer...

How much did you spend on invitations? I haven't shopped around a ton but got a few quotes today. We will probably need to order 100 invitations (single envelope) with rsvp insert (no envelope- rsvp's...

Has anyone ordered invitations from Papyrus??? I just assumed they would be expensive but I stopped in one today and they are actually pretty cheap (I think). I didn't have too much time to look but...

FH and I are going Friday to start looking at things that we will have on our registry. Is there anything you registered for that you now wish you didn't? or anything you didn't register for that you...

We are sending our STD email very soon- & not sure if I should remove a girl from the list. So FH has a friend... I've always liked her ok & thought she was nice (a few odd things here & there). Well...

I saw this really cool idea recently where on a girls e-ring, she had a pavé band & one of the small stones her FH replaced with his birthstone. I loved his idea. My band is plain platinum but my...

I haven't had any showers yet but don't want to be rude.... What did you give the hostess of your showers? I've read that you're supposed to get them a gift but it can be anything from a nice card to...

Was yours a surprise? I know some girls are very specific in what they want (design, shape, metal). Were you very vocal in what you wanted or was it a surprise? For me- I only told FH the shape I...

My FH is Chinese & I'm white. My WHOLE family adores him & has welcomed him from day 1 & couldn't be happier for us. His family on the other hand, not so much. They are flat out racist towards white...

Has anyone had a farm reception? I recently revamped our whole plan. We were originally going to be married in NYC- after the anxiety and stress started to pile on (too much to explain now) we decided...

Do you have insurance on your ring? For me it's a nonnegotiable but for FH he's indifferent. He feels that if I don't have it I'll be less likely to lose it & thinks I'm silly for wanting it. If you...

Hey everyone, I somehow missed the intro post... so here it is. I'm Becky. I'm originally from NC and about 4 years ago moved to NJ (very close to NYC). About 2 years ago i met my FH. He's born and...

Has anyone done online rsvp? Thinking to save on paper cost we will do a STD and have our website/rsvp link on the card. If you've done it this way, whats your favorite site to use? Thinking of having...
