Do I tip my ceremony musician if he is playing during cocktail hour too?
BloodhoundLover in Etiquette and Advice, on October 14, 2015 at 12:31 AM

I am hiring a classical guitarist to play during the ceremony and cocktail hour. I read that you don't need to tip ceremony musicians but my musician is doing more than just the ceremony music. Should...

You HAVE to invite the officiant to the reception? I had no idea.
BloodhoundLover in Etiquette and Advice, on August 25, 2015 at 1:10 AM

We are just hiring someone we found off of weddingwire reviews. They have no personal relationship to us. I've never met them before and won't until the wedding. I wrote the whole wedding script...

Here is how the food is going to go at my wedding. Cocktail Hour: Passed apps (don't know what they are yet), beer and wine, other thinks (such as iced tea, lemonade, coffee, hot tea, etc.) Do I need...

Very frustrating venue owner. Hard to get answers. RANT.
BloodhoundLover in Planning, on August 10, 2015 at 3:16 PM

Back story: Originally wanted this venue ( a teahouse & cafe) to just put together a dessert table while I had my wedding at another venue. Had meeting with the owner along with my parents and fiance....

Invitations. Did I mess up?
BloodhoundLover in Etiquette and Advice, on August 8, 2015 at 6:02 PM

I already bought my invitations and showed my mom. They say "reception to follow ceremony" and my mom said "well actually it's a dinner". And I say "what do you think reception means?" And she says...

How important is it to have menus detailing what the dinner is?
BloodhoundLover in Etiquette and Advice, on August 7, 2015 at 4:27 PM

We decided to have a plated dinner instead of a buffet and the main course choices are beef or salmon. Should I have little menus printed? Back in 2004, when my brother got married, they had a huge,...

How soon in advance should I get my dress altered?
BloodhoundLover in Wedding Attire, on August 6, 2015 at 12:56 PM

It's a little snug, just need the seams let out. I already checked, and there is plenty of fabric left in the seams. I was going to try to lose a little weight. How soon in advance should I get my...

Loved my dress at first. Now I think it's too snug and the zipper is weird. Wedding in 2.5 months.
BloodhoundLover in Wedding Attire, on August 1, 2015 at 6:42 PM

I tried in vain to take a good picture of it on me in my house to show the zipper problem but it's not coming out due to the lighting in my house. I loved this dress when I first tried it on. I looked...

Are there any ceremony traditions you are leaving out?
BloodhoundLover in Community Conversations, on July 25, 2015 at 10:09 PM

There are no "I Dos" in our vows I also don't want the officiant to say "I now pronounce you blah blah blah. You may now kiss the bride." We are going to do the breaking of the glass and I want us to...

BloodhoundLover in Etiquette and Advice, on July 24, 2015 at 7:25 PM

My mom and dad, my fiance's dad and step mom AND my fiance's mom are being generous financially with our wedding and have helped a lot. I want to include them on our wedding invitations. Something...

Is it bad if your guests see you before you walk down the aisle?
BloodhoundLover in Etiquette and Advice, on July 24, 2015 at 4:35 PM

Doing first look to get some pictures out of the way. My getting ready/hiding out house is right by the aisle. I will literally open the door, walk down the steps, grab the arms of my parents and...

BloodhoundLover in Planning, on July 14, 2015 at 3:27 PM

On June 21st, we met with the owner of the venue we chose, originally to talk about providing desserts for our wedding which we were thinking about having elsewhere. Her place was really cute so we...

The Unadorned Bride
BloodhoundLover in Wedding Attire, on July 10, 2015 at 11:07 AM

Is anyone else here just wearing a dress and no veil/headpieces or jewelry? I'm having a small wedding in a gazebo and this is my dress (150 bucks from etsy woot), without the necklace of course. I...

If we aren't having a registry, can we just not mention anything about gifts on the invitations?
BloodhoundLover in Etiquette and Advice, on July 7, 2015 at 1:41 PM

I don't want a registry. I don't need things. If my fiance wants to set up a small one, fine. The thing is, I'm doing everything for this wedding and he isn't helping me much. I don't want to spend...

How many favors to have at your wedding?
BloodhoundLover in Etiquette and Advice, on July 6, 2015 at 9:52 PM

I was thinking of individually wrapped bars of fudge for everyone. Do I need something else? How many types of favors are you supposed to have? The venue also does individually wrapped iced cookies, I...

Rehearsing and making sure you're in time to the music.
BloodhoundLover in Etiquette and Advice, on July 6, 2015 at 8:22 PM

I have no bridal party and it's just going to be both my parents walking me down the aisle. I still want to have music, and plan to hire a classical guitarist to play while people are waiting to set...

Is ceremony music stupid if you have no wedding party?
BloodhoundLover in Planning, on July 2, 2015 at 4:39 PM

I'm having a small wedding, no wedding party. Pretty much just my parents walking me down what little aisle there is in front of the gazebo. I like the idea of a classical guitarist to kind of set the...
