I’m sending my Save the Dates as postcards! I love the idea of it being a little more casual and just something guests can stick on the fridge. Anyone else done this and can offer some advice? I’ll be...

Hi! I'm getting married next summer, which is great, but also sucks as most insurance companies are not offering event insurance with COVID-19 in mind. Anybody having luck with this? I found a few...

Tips for dress shopping
Chelsea in Wedding Attire, on July 23, 2020 at 8:08 PM

I'm going dress shopping this weekend! A local boutique is doing 75% off all clearance dresses. Since it's such a big sale and they anticipate a large crowd, they're limiting brides to one hour, so I...

Cornhole
Chelsea in Parties and Events, on July 14, 2020 at 9:09 PM

We have a great patio area at our venue. I thought it'd be cute to set out a cornhole game! I saw some great deals on "Mr. & Mrs." bags. Where can I find affordable boards?

I want to go wedding dress shopping this fall, but I want to get another 15 pounds off first. I'm already a fairly healthy person. Before COVID, I was going to the gym every morning before work,...
