Back when FH and I sent out STDs, one coworker whom I'd only seen maybe twice in my first several months on the job was off being trained at a separate facility. That being said they were not on our...

Hey all. Just a couple quick etiquette questions: 1) My mother, FMIL, and bridesmaids planned and organized my bridal shower. When writing thank you notes, should I send one to my mother and FMIL? I...

The mother of the groom goes with the groom to look for wedding bands, tries on a bunch for the bride (who is not present), and then sends pics of her hands with the rings on to the bride?

Is there anything wrong, per sae, with wearing white in engagement photos? I found a top today that I loved, and FH said it looked great on me, but it's white and I wasn't sure if 1) there were any...

Hey all! So I'm making a chocolate cannoli cake to surprise FH for his birthday. I've baked two chocolate cakes (which I will be cutting into two layers each) which will then be stacked, alternating...

Context - MOH and one BM know each other because I grew up with both of them; FSIL and other two BMs know each other because we chill regularly. They asked about contact info so I sent out a group...

Hey all! I've decided I'd like to try and do my own makeup for the wedding (with the caveat that if I find I'm no good at it I will go to a professional). I've been doing a lot of research on what is...

Hey guys, quick question about picking bridesmaid dresses. I want my girls to be comfortable and I certainly don't want them to spend too much. (I'm keeping an eye out for good deals, and will be...

Soo... I found my dress. Nothing like what I imagined, yet everything I was hoping for it to be. There's just one thing - it's "blush". "Blush" because it is so pale it's barely noticeable, plus it...

Hello! Took awhile, but I'd like to introduce myself. Call me Jay. My FH is Flip. We've been friends for seven years, dating for half of that, and engaged since New Years. While hosting a small party...
