Giving the dj a playlist?
Chandra in Wedding Reception, on October 24, 2018 at 10:46 AM

So originally FH and I were going to skip the DJ and just make a playlist for ourselves but were convinced to hire somebody. Most of our guests will be older folks and we're not a party type couple....

Assigning tables-yay or nay?
Chandra in Wedding Reception, on October 4, 2018 at 11:59 AM

This is a constant battle in my mind of what to do when the time comes for seating arrangements. Are you assigning your guests to tables at your reception if you're having a buffet style dinner? I've...

Hair ideas?
Chandra in Hair and Makeup, on October 17, 2018 at 7:00 PM

I'm the type of girl who hardly even blow dries her hair until it's cold enough to freeze and the only updo I rock is a sassy bun to the gym... so I don't know how to do my hair! I also have broad...

Cake timeline??
Chandra in Planning, on October 11, 2018 at 3:52 PM

Silly question. What's the typical time frame to order your cake? I finally got the intended bakery to call me back and was told they need at least a month to have the cake, which means I had to bump...

Reception diy Theme
Chandra in Do It Yourself, on September 19, 2018 at 7:04 AM

So I don't know what to call the theme of my reception. Rustic seems to be the word that keeps popping up. But I don't want the burlap and lace that comes with that. Our reception is going to be held...
