50My in-laws want me to call them mom and dad.... I cannot wrap my head around this and do not feel comfortable calling them that when I have parents of my own. It's just weird! On the other hand, my...
Did you have your wedding gown preserved? If so, how is it stored? Have you looked at the dress once it's been preserved? Thanks!
Hello Soon-To-Be-Brides, I got married last month and I have been reading on the forums that people have regrets about their weddings, I have friends who feel sad about their big day, and friends who...
My wedding was Saturday and I am leaving for my honeymoon tomorrow but I want to get an idea of who gets a card so I can send them out as soon as possible when I get back. I know people who attended...
How are you feeling? What are you doing? I felt absurdly anxious and cranky yesterday, but today I am focusing on our to do list and it feels good. We are getting programs printed (only because we...
For me it's weather and hoping I love the pictures (because I wasn't thrilled with our engagement shoot).
Hello fellow brides and soon-to-be wives! I am 11 days from my wedding and 14 days from an extra long honeymoon. We'll be traveling a lot but will have bouts of down time here and there. Can anyone...
FH and I decided not to have a receiving line after the church ceremony because it takes time away from pictures. Here is what we are thinking: 3-3:30/3:45 pm: ceremony ceremony end until 4:45 pm:...
Here's the deal. We have 117 guests attending our wedding (the church ceremony location is three miles from the hotel where the reception will be) in DC in 15 days. We have 50 guests staying at the...
Hi all, We are having a dessert bar with two flavors of wedding cake plus an assortment of other offerings which include cannoli, macaroons, pies, and strawberry shortcake shooters. I know I want the...
Here's the issue: our reception is at a hotel and we chose that because most of our guests are from out of town. Our ceremony is at a church which is 3 miles away. I would say 40 of our 120 guests are...
I had my hair and makeup trail recently. My wedding theme is classic, traditional and timeless and while I want my hair and makeup to reflect that I also want it to accentuate my favorite features -...
My second and mostly likely final fitting is coming up and they said I can take it home as soon as it is steamed/pressed. I'm debating if I should do that on the day of the fitting or closer to my...
Hello, We are getting down the wire and started to create a seating chart for our reception and all of our tables are going to be 5' rounds. My FH side has mostly 8-9 people per table and my side has...
Are many of you greeting your guests at their tables during the reception? I don't know why but I'm a little nervous about this - specifically having to make small talk with extended relatives I...
FH and I are running into a timing problem. Our church rehearsal is from 6 - 7 p.m. and our thought was to have a formal sit down dinner with immediate family and the bridal party (totaling 13 people)...
https://perfecthoneymoons.com/ We are thinking about using them to plan our honeymoon for us. Has anyone ever used them? What were your thoughts? Did they charge a lot for their services?
Hello, 95% of my guest list is from out of town and I'm debating if table favors are worth it. I personally don't care for them, but my FH thinks they are nice. If we have favors I want them to be...
My fiancé and I opted to do the full weekend (retreat at a hotel) rather than four consecutive Saturdays at a local parish in DC. Overall, we both thought it was a good experience even though we are...
...how are you getting your photographer and day of coordinator to each location? I am getting ready at a hotel which will also serve as our reception space, and the ceremony will take place at a...
